" -V r - Prof. Albert Frederick Wilson, in tructor In Journalism In the New Tork university, believes that mucb of the writing In newspapers Is more direct, more dramatic, more plctur esque, than in books or magazines. Speaking to a New York reporter re- tlie many men who have done or do both types of work here and abroad, have one style for the- newspapers that pay them their steady salaries and another for the books and mag azines that give them uncertain re turns. And it 4s Jut possible that the protestor Is right in concluding, that the writing done under pressure close to the folk who are hammering out civilisation wdtn their bare Osts, has more of the ' essential ' qualities that make real literature than has the more leisurely effort. ' It was Bt. Patrick's day in the morn ing. Mrs. Mulcabey dressed her son Pat, eleven years old, in bis bent suit and put bit of green ribbon in the Prom now on hens are urged to do . buttonhole of his Jacket After mass their best that the price of eggs may the O'Rourke children came over to ST.

"You are a little closer to the folk who are hammering' out civilization with tlier bare fists," be added. In England and France most of the magazine and book writers not only have been newspaper men, but re main actively engaged in the service after they have become famous. Gil bert X. Chenterlou probably the most Incisive and brilliant of present day essayists, is an editorial writer for a London morning' paper. Raymond Poincare, president of France, regu larly writes for a Paris paper while be was premier and may continue the practice. There is no precedent there against eminent men retaining their Connection wth the prees. News paper work as it is conducted under the Third Republic claims the ser vices even of members of the Acad emle Francalse. In this country the . list of news paper men famous in literature Is too , well known to call for more than mere mention. Mark Twain was a newspaper man; Walt Whitman, Europe's choice as the most dlstlnc Ive genius of the United States, edited the Brooklyn Eagle; William Dean Howeljs, Vdean of American letters" nd a writer whose polish and in sight into life have made him as well or better known on the other side of the water as on this, was a reporter for the State Journal of Columbus, 0. The fact that our newspaper men so - often have given exclusive attention to books and magazines once their fame was established probably ac counts for the Impression that these latter represent a higher sphere ot literary activity. Yet many of those whose names appear today on title pages of -books and In magazines' table of contents keep fairly regular hours at the various newspaper offices where they are employed. Jud son C. WUllver, the well known polit ical authority, is one of the number. He is an editorial .. writer for the Washington Times. H. P. Fuller, author of 'The Cliff Dwellers," Is em ployed In a similar capacity on a Chicago paper. It is not reasonable to suppose that oleo. of the the Uulcaheys to play with little Pst There were Tommy O'Rourke, seven years old. and Nora, who was nine. Tbey, too, bad green ribbons on tbelr breasts, and Mrs. Mulcabey, setting them all down In a row, told tbem sto ries of the patron salut of Ireland bow be did away with tbe slavery of the lower people aud bow be rescued the country from a false religion and es tablished the true church. She also told tbeui of the wouderful miracles done by St. Patrick sod tbe many peo ple be Mired from some luipeudiug danger. ' Everybody knows that St. Patrick's day fulls on the 17th of March and that tbe 17tb of March Is near tbe begin ning of spring In tbe southern states sometimes it is pretty warm at that time, and the snow, melting farther uortb. swell the creeks, and tbe creeks swell the rivers, and occasionally tbey have what Is called an Inundation. It happened that on this sC Patrick's day where these children lived they had an inundutlon.
