Ackley, Tailor 111 Cass Sheet An Ingenuous Critic By HARRY VAN AMBERC At coMent my esKtiys were alwuya At lecteU to be read before I lie class, uui 1 wan tnude editor of the university magazine. 'J'IiIh led uie to ehoose 111 erntitro for my profession. 1 untitrntl looked to the author whose work were at tli.it time considered the acme of literary inelliod an ray guide, andnotb Ing less than the field be occupied would satlHfy inc. There must he uo plot. I'lotn were for dime novels There must be nothing demonstrative, for I nnd the ttehoul 1 proposed to en ter considered that (lo type) to be ginh and fit only for those who cannot appreciate what Is bleb bred. What I aimed at was delineation of charac ter, proponing to take my heroes and heroines apartexamine them through a microscope and put them together again, stamping them with my own imprint, Juat as an eminent chemist will give a certificate for a brand of soap. I had written several novels In thl vein and bad attracted the attentlou of the critics and persons of retlued lit ernry tiiHte. Unfortunutely I had no fortune, and I found It unprofitable to write for the few. Rut I would noi lower my standard. As to my charm ters, they must needs Ih high bred persons, for 1 met no others. Not one of those I met in society would allow any feeling, and 1 found myself de pk-tiug those who were moving about on life's stage, not ns human LeingH but as social automaton1. Novell he- ( ieHH uic cruic'H anu my clientele nuhhi i by me, and I was pleaned. though Hnan daily it didn't pay. One day while traveling on a rail road train 1 noticed a young girl In the seat before me. She could not have bten more than seventeen years old was plnlnly dressed and appeared to be a model of simplicity. What was my j astonishment to see her take from her satchel a copy of my last novel ami begin to read It. I wondered how ti person so low In the human scalp could be Interested In tho philosophic dedue tlons she would find In my work. I leaned forward and asked: "Can you recommend the book yon are reading?" "I? Itecomtnend It? It's everything to me." "How Is that?" "I'm In the story." You!" "Yes. I don't know how the author got hold of my case, but be did onit? how or other. IIe given It perfectly. only he glvea n great many reasons for my doing things that I never hai at all. 1 suppose he made them up. 1 skip thorn." "Oh. yon do? What canoes you to think that the author gives your own story?" "Why, It's as plain -nit day. There's Mrs. Jarvls. She's my stepmother. I'apadocs what he can for me to make her treat me nice. Hut she won't, and sometimes ho looks so tired nnd worn when she snaps at mo just like Mr Jarvls in the story that 1 put my arms about him and kiss htm nnd nay. Ilko Marjory In the book, "Never mind me, papa, dear, ho long as she don't scold you.' " I was interested. Of nil my stories this one was the most Inttnnu. I h id been told by my admirers r lint In it I had not done myself Justice. "Have you rend any of the author's other novels?" I asked, "I've tried to. After I rend my own story In this one I got the tonlis out of the library, one after another, but they were alt Greek to me. I suppose I like this one because tt Is my own ! story." "What else Is there about you In the book ?" "Well, for one thing I know Kdith Killnirhain. She's Just like Kdlth In ! the hook-a society girl nlwnyn going about with her nose In the air. She talks lust such unintelligible things as I Miss Klllnghaiu. She's never going to I marry, she says, but devote herself to ' some high moral purpose-yon know, the girt In the book Is going to do that -but she can't find a purpose hlirh enough for her. so she only talksnbont It with young men of a superior type. Thai' ilke Miss Kmugham ton." "Who Is your favorite author?" I asked the girl. "Mr. Hit-kens" ( I remembered that Mr hlckens had ' not In nil his books drawn the char acter of more than two or three per sons In high life. 1 had reversed Hie order. 1 had not drawn but one chir acter out of high life, the one this lit tie girt had assumed to be herself. I wondered what would have become ol my literary nune when my hundredth . birthday would come round. I The train was approaching my st.i ! tlon. and as I gathered my belongings ' I said to the admirer of my story: j "Thank you very mud. for tollniv me alt nlntut the book. I know the nu j thor Intimately. I shall tell him all ! you've said about It. advise him in fn i Hire to write about nil kinds of ht , sons, to lonve out the parts you skip j pod and not to spend his time on the ' inspirations of such Melt bred rr1r!s n Miss Ktllncham Heroines like you are far ninrv satisfactory." j "tloodhy. sir," she said as the train was slowing up "Would you mind ( asking (dm how he ir-d hold of mj asu and write me about It? My ad dress Is-oli. dear. I wish ! had n pencil ; or something'" j Those wete tho last wonts I heart! for I toft the ear nnd the on It critic i to whom I hvc ever leeii Indi btvd for criticism of any value.

The Better Farming association of North Dakota has the past season dls trlbuted alfalfa seed to several bun dred farmers of the state, and the outcome of the numerous trials Is be Ing watched with Interest Some re port success, others have done fairly well, while still others have failed It Is fair to assume In case of these failui'es. except where due to funda mental ditllcultles as tc soil and mois ture. Unit the following of a some what different method may bring sue cess. Where soil conditions are right the writer believes that a farmer ought not to despair of growing alfalfa unti le has failed at least four times. AN INTERESTING TREE. Some very Interesting records of by gone events are often written In other piaces than Ixioks. This was interest lugly shown In the case of a tree that was sawed through In n Washington mill the other day. Burled several Inches In the solid wood was found the stub of a charred branch that had been entirely overgrown by succeed Ing layers of the growth. It was clear that many years ago this tree had been subject to a forest lire HUlliclent to burn this limb, but not so severe ns to kill the tree. Microscopical examina tion of the growth rings showed that this (Ire occurred Just 114 years ago. WINTER RHUBARB. One may have rhubarb for winter use by digging the roots Just before the hard freezing wen thor sets In and allowing them to remain In some shel tered place until thoroughly frozen About the middle of December tho roots should be taken Into the cellar and covered lightly with earth nnd kept watered. They will produce a good many shoots, which will be crisp and tender and will give a nice relish for the table during the months when fresh stuff Is scarce and high priced. Umbrellas Repaired At N.
