The “Causerie” given at the Sequoia Club Thursday evening was made partic- plarly delightful by the monologues of Mrs. Louis H.”Long, who is not enly a clever reader, but an originiter of many bright deseriptive stories. Several num- bers of Mrs. Long were particularly apropos to Sequeia affairs, the wit of which aroused much mirth. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Barry Watson have taken a house at 2511 Pierce street.

TALE OF THE NEWSPAPER MAN. OU say, my Horatio, that you de- | you urge in justification ‘af this kdws re your assurance that you are full of large, burning thoughts which cught to be expressed to the public. I sup- pose that -you are right, my boy, for when one once has felt the touch of the newspaper fite he rarely entirely rids himself of the sting of it, and yet—will | vou permit me to tell you a little story? | Xes? Well, once 1 knew.a young man who | was, quite bright and who had such an attractive Giploma.as you possess. . The time had come for this-young man to start out in life, and he said that he felt assured nature haq intended him to | be a newspaper man, as he was full! | of large, burning thoughts. which ought | to be expressed. So, after viewing'the! situation carefully he.went to a cer- :tain managing gdifor and asked him if hé was' thinking of giving up his job soon. The managing ermor assured him that he was not. ““Men in my position,” he explained, “never give up their jobs i | | until theé headman’s ax swings.” “Well,” the young man feplied, “it does not'matter greatly. Although 1. feel no doubt that I would glitter in your place, still I realize that'even the most gifted must expect to commence two or three rounds from the top of ‘the ladder.. Feel no hesitancy in giv ing: me-a somewhat less exalted position’ ‘S0 the managing editor called in the city editor and asked him if there was a place open for tlie young man. “¥ou know yourself,” responded the city editor, “how we are off for. office boys, but—" < 5 “This young man,” the managing edi- tor interposed, “ought to be valiable as a reporter after he is broken in.” - ° “Why s0?" the city editor inquired. “Because Of his nerve.” Ybu may be sure, Horatio, that the bright young man was greatly sur- prised by this remark, but he said noth- ing, and when the city editor told him he might go out and hustle up a story if he was able, and, if it was worth a what was used, he went out and hus- tled. He got a beautiful story about a fire, Horatio, and he wrote it up for almost two columns in nearly the sweetest his recent professor of English litera- | ture quite certainly would have marked very high” Then he turned it in and went home and to bed, but he could not ' sleep because of thinking of the en- comiums the. managing editor would ‘Well, the next morning he arose at. 5 o'cloek, went out and purchased a newspaper of a boy on the street, and tmn is how his beautiful story read: “A4 SMALL FIRE. “The residence of J. K. Blivens was threaened by fire yesterday afternoon, but the flames were soon extinguished. Loss trivial, fully insured.” The bright young man's great heart almost broke, but he felt that his call- ing was clear; so he stayed with the | ch; job .and at the end of the week he had earned $4.17, space rates. But he toiled onward and upward un- til, after years of qntm.n‘ effort, he| became the wn;tor front . editor—al- though no one ever explained to- phq the difference’ betwen the water fr editor and a water front. zo,wuw—'nd B his salary was 325 a week, an can live quite comfortably *‘!1‘ Y m on $2000 a year, he fondly felt that the | fruitiod of his hopes must be within twenty or thirty years of drriving. Then he died—some way, they gen- erally do ahout that time, Horatio—and the boys turned out .quite well at his § Miss Tilghman! funeral. I do not wish to discourage vou, Ho- ratio, and in fact I know that I will not, for when the newspaper bee once has buzzed in a man’s bonnet it keeps right on buzzing. Moreover, much might he said in faver of this bee, for I fancy it is better to lead a life that .is akin to the intellectual than to bury one's mind and soul under & mound of § $. Nevertheless, more than one bright young man has gone the way that was trodden by the one of whom I have told. And the meral seems to be, If you have large, burning thoughts you will do weéll to be sure that they are large enough and burning enough to attrict the attention of the public; otherwise, in the superfluity of large, burning thoughts, you may- hear ‘something drop, -and, trying to pick yourself up, wonder why it hit yon. “Her father is amassing wealth.” “How do.you know?" “Why, she always used to speak of giving an admirer the mitten; riow she says that she has given him his conge.” “He jilted her and she was about to commit suicide.” “What prevented the terrible deed?” . “Why, " another young man came along.” % “He (s the most pome man I ever knew.” .“What gives you that 'impression?” “Why, he even is polite in his home.” OH, DEAD, DEAD WISHES!

Strain it and add a peck of sait, dissolved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water and beiled to a thin paste; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear glue, dissolved in warm Water; mix these well together and let the mixture stand for several days.
