Abe Jackson, who described himself as a hard-working mn from Hebron, Neb., was an excited visitor at the police station yes terday evening and the cause of his per turbation was the' flight of his daughter, Mabel, to the, city, with the object of get ting married. d-' Slre'a not 16." ha said, "though she's blgf or her age and weighs 125 pounds,, but 1 11' not let him marry her should I have to expend every dollar." In excited Jerks, while at intervals he Im plored -he police to help him locate her, Jackson told his story. He said that he did not know until this afternoon where his daughter had gone, and then he dis covered that the companion of her flight was Sidney Ruttledge, for whose father he said lie worked. Sydney, It appears. Is 25, but what his probable future father-in-law complained of particularly seemed to be that he was blind. BIG HORN BASIN PROSPEROUS Wakeley Telle of the Bi- Celebra tion Last Week at Thermopolla Over the New Line;. . L. W. Wakeley, general passenger agent of the Burlington route, has returned from Thermopolla, Wyo., where he was attend ing the "Railroad Day" celebration in honor of the Burlington road connecting Thermopolls and other towns In the Big Horn basin by rail with the outside world. The local official expressed hlmnelf as sur prised at the rapid development of the towns in Wyoming and the enthusiasm shown at the recent celebration. On June 22, the opening day of the celc bratlon," said Mr Wakeley, "our road car rled in by special trains over 800 people from the neighboring towns to Thermopolls. Thermopolls is a thriving town of 1,200 peo ple, and now that It has a railroad the people look for a rapid development and a big Increase In population. The people who live In the Wyoming towns are surprisingly prosperous, and when they went to Ther mopolls to take part In the celebration it was noticeable that they all looked well- to-do." BUMPER CROP IS LOOKED FOR noble Bays Recent Rains Have WroDght Woaderfsl Change In Cropa of the State. R. S. Ruble, assistant general passenger agent of the Union Pacific, has returned from a business trip to Donver and says that he was struck with the great change which has come over the fields of grain since the recent rains. "When I went to Denver," said Mr. Ruble, "the corn and grain looked rather bauly. The grain didn't seem to have any life to It, but the rain has wrought a won derful change, and today the fields look fine. Corn la doing splendid and the other crops are In first-class condition. Judging from the looks ot the fields as seen from the car window I would say that we ought to have a bumper crop of everything this year In Nebraska." WANT MORE MEN FOR NAVY lacle Sam Is Now Looking; for Sail ors to Maa His Big; War ships at Sea. The local navy recruiting office Is again iccelvlng enlistments after a brief spell In which no effort was made to get recruits for the marine service. A letter was sent out from the Navy department, which was received here Monday, asking for men for the service. It Is expected that from now until fall all applicants for enlistment will be considered, as the Navy department can use 3 0U0 lecrults on account of the In creased appropriation voted by congiess for a fuller quota of men Those who have made-application since June IS will be noti fied of their standings and those who pass the examination will be assigned to the service after July L gjg- T M COPTHrSHT, 1810, fY 1HE The Boss of the Establishment By AMBRB MAN. The wife of the Boss of the Establish ment was trying on her new hat before the mirror. Yes, she had bought another, the fifth' since Easter Sunday and there was no doubt from the pleasant gleam In her grown eyes that the latest creation, or leaning lower of yellow feathers, was for the moment at least, a strong favorite with Its owner. As she gazed admiringly Into the looking glAss, the turning of a latch key pro claimed the Immediate advent of the lord and with a farewell glance at the mirrored vision she walked down the hall of their apartment to meet him. What, she wondered, made him look so queer? He was not cross. Perhaps.lt was a hair cut by a new barber! No, that was not it, a quick Inspection assured her. Un deniably there was something strange about his appearance and when he had removed his hat she saw what It was nothing less than the hat Itself a long low, rakish panaraa which had been turned vigor fash Ion over his manly brow. It was evidently a purchase of the afternoon and the Boss, after the manner of his kind, was for the moment so absorbed In appearing uncon scious of his own recent possession that he did not notice the yellow structure on his wife's head. The Boss' wife gazed at the Panama and was divided between sorrow and relief. Frankly, as she told the' Boss afterward, she did not think his hat becoming to him, but she could now tell of her own bargain without trepidation. For she thought, no husband Is brave enough to reproach his wife with a new purchase If he has ac quired anything for himself within the lady's memory. "How do you like It?" she asked coquet tishly, tilting the yellow feathers on one side. And then the Boss perceived the latest millinery outrage and hla soul grew sore within him. "It's a freak!" he answered sourly. "Ol-wh y?" faltered the lady, her re sentment being less instantaneous than usual. "What don't you like about It?" "It's all wrong!" the Boss replied. It's How to Write a Short Story There are a great many receipts on the market for writing the short story, but we confidently claim that ours is the only method. Klrst: Learn to read and write at sight. Not too much time need be spent at this, as all stories are rewritten in the magazine offices, and as long as you have the Idea, this la all that Is really necessary. Do not bother about spelling. All offices are sup plied with dictionaries. Second: Secure from the French classics, or from a newspaper paragraph It doesn't matter which a plot. Remove the plot to some quiet place, turn it Inside out, and let it dry In the sun. When thoroughly dry, hammer It thin enough to suit the masses. Please also to remember the following points: The Beginning;, All short stories should have a beginning. Many of our best short story writers have not followed this rule, but It is only be cause ot their genius that they have suc ceeded in spite of It Young and inex perienced writers should never attempt to get along without it. It Is well to begin with an exclamation, as "Fudge!" "Fore!" V "Fickle one!" These beginnings are taken from our alphabetical list (snortly to be Issued), at random, but they will give a fclr Idea. Other beginnings may be as follows: "Fur on Mars. Yoa wouldn't believe It, but It-" ME Ml IPAtt NEW YORK EVENINu TELEGAAM (NEW T0RK HERALD CO.). In He eio The Boss' wfe &A"ZED AT THC PANA.KA ! too big! It's too flashy! It looks like noth ing on earth but a yellow feather duster!" It Is perhaps needless to remark that some portion of the Boss' disapproval was due to the fact that his own radical de parture in headgear had passed unob served. "When will you learn to have some taste In dress?" he continued, petulantly. "I have done the best I could to teach you, but It doesn't seem to be of any use. I tel you frankly that I won't go out with you In that theatrical looking hat! Why," he added, with fatal carelessness, "It's fit for nothing but the opera!" "Gentlemen do not wear hats to the opera," sneered the Boss' wife In her cold est and what he termed her most snobbish manner. "With such Ideas It's no wonder you disapprove of the way I dress. I hope you do. Really," she resumed, her voice breaking and her eyes widening with a moist brilliancy, "It's very discouraging to be a pretty woman and have a husband that doesn't care what you wear so long "Fancy a dead man hanging to the end of the motor car!" "Fanny kicked me painfully in the face." The Idea of the beginning, as will be seen for these examples, is to surprise and interest the reader. THE DIALOGUE. . All stories consist of dialogue, which should lead to something. By the dialogue we can often determine what the char acters are about. This should be the aim of every good story writer. Such expres sions as , "Kiss me!" r Dyspeptic Philosophy. J The truth Is mighty and will prevail If a Is unpleasant enough. The people who hustle through life merely get to the grave that; much sooner; "Here's where I get It In the neck," re marked a married friend of mine whose wife had Just bought him a tie. Self-deception Is a human falling. Of course it's the cherry in the cocktail that upset a man's stomach. The fellow who is too much of a coward to steal takes It out In borrowing and for getting to pay back. Vi L -J a. AH Righlt Heurvrs., the Matter of Women's Hats Displays Rare Judgment. J as Its a white shirtwaist and ' starched skirt." "Don't you think," said the Boss, with withering scorn, "that It's In rather poor taste for you to be harping constantly on your appearance? Why don't you let other people say you are pretty?" - v "But you never do!" accused the lady. "And you're Jealous If anybody, else does! Do you think you're a good writer?" she asked suddenly, "Certainly," the Boss replied. "I know It." "How do you know Jt?" The Boss had begun to look uncomfort able. "Oh, other men In the profession have said so," he said. "Well," reasoned the suddenly developed Portia, "why is It more egotistical for me to know I'm a pretty woman than for you to know you're a good writer?"' The Boss' wife gazed at him long and earnestly. "I talk to you Just a I think," she added, "but, of course, I know you'd be so much easier to get along with if only I would be hypocritical. Now, If I were a hypocrite I would have told you I liked i that dreadful thing you brought in on your tS head!" "What thing?" the Boss inquired, indig nantly. "That rah-rah Panama, with the baby blue hand, or Is It yeliuw? Where did you buy it, anyhow?" The Boss thought very quickly. In all his married life his wife had never criti cised his hats before. She had, he knew, an unreasoning admiration for his taste In dress, so far as it applied to his personal apparel. He mode a quick choice between the new hat he had carefully selected and his reputation with his wife for Impeccable style. "Huh!" ho exclaimed, "you didn't think t think i?

I I that thing belonged to me, did you? of the boys at the office walked off my hat by mistake this afternoon was too late to go out and get another. had to choose between his hat or nothing, " Do yot think I'd buy such a hat for my self? Ohy, what do you think I am?" (Copyright, 1010, by the N. Y. Herald Co.) From Lippincott's Magazine. "I love you!" "Avaunt!" should be carefully avoided. Try to be original without being slangy. , For ex ample: "Oh!" said I. "Indeed!" she replied. "True." I added shamelessly. THE CLIMAX. All short stories should lead up to something. This Is the climax. Some writers put their climaxes first. It Is bet- I ter to have two or three climaxes to every story, and let the editor take his cholre. He loves to do this, and you will also have the satisfaction of knowing that nine times out of ten lie will select the wrong one. In case you cannot think- of a climax, do not destroy the story. Instead of this, get an old file of some humorous paper and sprinkle a few Jokes through out. Thus your story will have a ready sale. In order to do this. It will be neces sary for you'to read most of the other short stories that are being published. In order not to get the, same Jokes. But this Is a part of the story-teller's art, and should not be despised because of the labor Involved. THE SUBJECT. This is of the greatest Importance. Al ways select a subject that will not offend anybody. To do thia, take a pastor, a j prude and a republican politlolan, and,' consider whether the subject would be pleasing to them. If It Is pleasing to each or to all, you may be. sure that no editor will objett to H. TlifMAK I. m a aanf .V " nwwvel
