Pull Mall < in zette. : Polly Larkin ; *»••»»*»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»* An I have said before, .here are ways I and ways of getting along in this world and accomplishing what one lias net lier heart upon. This is the way one of our I niversity students is managing to aid in getting tlie wherewithal toobtain the higher education tiiat she covets alsive everything else. .She is of a de cidedly literary turn of mind and it is her aim in life to tit herself for a liter ary career. This is lier first stepping- stone, tiie writing of tlie social items of tlie county for one of tlie San Francisco dailies. Nothing escapes lier, and she gleans ail the society gossip, all tlie inimical and literary work of tlie differ ent societies and clubs, etc., and writes it up in a racy and interesting style of lier own. She is paid well for lier little contribution to tlie society budget of tlie pajier and she gets tlie exjierieiiee as well. She knows how to make every dollar count and will go through the University without calling on tlie home people for very much assistance. It is not her intention to devote all of tier time aril talent to the social write-ups of the day, however, for she will take up short story writing, and more than likely in tlie next year or so you will find among tlie new books one from her ready pen. She is only one of many who are helping themselves to get tlie necessary funds to secure tlie education tiiat so many young people can have for tlie asking, but who admit tiiat they have no taste or desire for a higher ed- ileal ion, and let tlie opportunity go by without a single misgiving. Some of them may live to regret the lost oppor- tunlty they have thrown away. » » * » Did you ever hear of the sand-eaters? No; well, they are a community of seventy-live men and women living in St. I .onis who make it tlieir sjieeial duty in life to eat u spoonful of sand every ilay in the week, believing tiiat grit is necessary in every animal and tiiat many stomai-ii troubles are due to the abHeuee of grit in the stomach. I once knew a lady who made a practice of eating an egg every morning shell and all. She broke tiie soft-lNiiled egg into a eup, crushed the shell as finely as |H>ssible and tiieii thoroughly mixed it witli the egg. It didn’t lisik very inviting but she ate it witli apparent relish and said it was not unpleasant when you became used to it. This same lady used to occaaionvlly chew almond shells very finely and swallow them, pxMHibly only one or two in a handful of nuts; raisin ami grape seeds wereal«o never discarded, but site never swal lowed them whole but converted them almost into a jaiwder before swallowing them. She claimed there was some- tiling in her make-up tiiat called fora great deal of grit to aid digestion and stated tiiat she had lieen free front ill- digestion since she commenced the practice. This may have been true in lier case, but Polly would not advise everybody to try lier remedy or tlie grit of tlie sand-eaters in this age of perito nitis. With most people such a diet would la- simply un invitation for tlie dread disease that seals tile deatli war rant for so many victims. » ♦ ♦ ♦ Tins is tlie way one of tile best editors of children’s stories on the Coast tests tlie success of his work. He writes tlie stories and little squibs that lie hopes will amuse tlie juvenile readers of the paper, goes over them carefully prun ing here and there witli his pencil un til lie thinks they are perfect. Then lie gathers his own tsiys and girls around tlie fireside at nightand reads them tlie result of ills pen and fanciful thoughts. They are his critics, and they are free to express tlieir opinions. If they don’t approve of tlie work lie crumples it up and watches it go up in smoke in the grate. If they are pleased and shout in a isidy, “that’s good,” lie smiles and folds it up carefully for tlie printer, be lieving tiiat it will pass muster witli the other juvenile readers of tlie paper if liis own little lads and lassies approve of it.
