A newspaper writer who wrote articles 

 at a set rate a column was once commis- 

 sioned to do a serial story for a Chicago 

 paper. The story contained many pas- 

 sages like the following: 



"Did you hear him?" 



"I did." 



"Truly?" 



"Truly." 



"Where?" 



"By the well." 



"When?" 



"To-day." 



"Then he lives?" 



"He does." 



"Ah." 



The editor, sending for the man, said : 



"Hereafter we will pay you by the letters 

 in your serial. We will pay you so much 

 a thousand letters." 



The young man, looking crestfallen, went 

 away, but the next installment of his story 

 contained many passages like this : 



"B-b-b-b-believe me, s-s-s-sir, I am n-n- 

 not ■ g-g-g-guilty. M-m-m-my m-m-m- 

 mother c-c-committed this c-c-crime." — 

 New York Tribune. 



Seashells Free! I have a good Collec- 

 tion of saltwater shells that 1 would give 

 in exchange for 4 yearly subscriptions for 

 Recreation, or would sell for $5.
