u to be kept successful. Often the heart of a poor newspaperman craves ,
that everyone could have had the same long weary exponent as h.mse ,
that they might know how foolish some of their idea, are about com noting
newspapers. The best and most considerate people in the world m other
respects are often the first to fail to recognize the limits of the poss.bd.t.cs of
publishing in , comparably small field. Sometimes one is reminded that no ,
typographical errors should appear in small papers. They tell you again an j
•l(rain how small your publication is compared to the New York Wort,
they forgot that the New York World would never ask any one of ,ts em- j
ylov.es to do as much as one man is supposed to do on the smaller daily, j
The larger the publication the larger the staff, even larger in proport.on, an
there is no reason why the metropolitan daily should not have less mistakes
than the small one.
Very often also the newspaperman is pestered about printing little tri
vial things. Some people come to him and ask him to put in something
funny. "Go on; it will be a good joke on Snodgrass." but they do not know
what only years of experience can teach that those "jokes and trivialities
are nails in the coffin of any paper no matter how small. U is a different j
thing to have some humor if it is possible of the more spontaneous kind, but,
lordy, there is a limit.
Another most unattractive feature of the work in small places is the
fact that one is supposed so many times to praise excessively. If it is a din- j
ner it must be called "delightful:" if it is a ,ong or a piano solo it must he
‘•classically rendered;" refreshments must be delicious; the children must be j
perfectly clever and stunning; this must be dainty an,I that must bo charm
ing. All of this spoils any praise at all. Whenever all are praised praise
loses its value.
Seward is one of the best towns in this respect. The people here are
for the major part really more intelligent than the average residents of
places of the same size, but. of course, there must be some in all communities
who cannot avoid basing advice on their lack of knowledge of that about
which the advice is given. There is nothing so well calculated to make a ‘
calling look simple as a want of knowledge of the obstacles besetting a person
who follows that calling.

COBLENZ. May 22.—The Rhine to
day is flowing along without its sight
seers. The Rhine, which in peace
time always attracted the American
millionaire or school teacher, is prac
tically deserted. In Coblenz, one of
the favored stopping points along
Germany’s famous river, few visitors
come.
Coblenz is one of Germany’s strong
est forts on the Rhine and the city is
dominated by the oflicers and men.
At the beginning of the war,
Coblenz was the most envied of all
German cities because the Kaiser and
his staff spent the first two weeks
here directing the operations against
France ami Belgium. Citizens today
tell with great pride how the Kaiser
watched the armies go down the
valley of the Mosel.
Coblenz hotels are almost guestless.
About the only residents are officers
retailed to this fort for special duty.
If the French had succeeded in in
vading Germany as far as the Ger
man army has penetrated France Cob
lenz would be in their minds—Coblenz
and this part of the Rhine and Mosel.
Across from Coblenz is the giant rock
hill Ehronbreitenstein with its fort on
top. The other forts a*'© hidden in
the mountains around the city.
Souvenir shops are deserted.
Museums are open but the guides
have gone to the war so that he who
happens to visit roams about alone.

NEW YORK, May 23. — A pitched

Even at this early date the contest
has simmered down to two candidates
who would succeed Mrs. Pennypack

Sneath of Tiffin, Ohio, now first vice
president and Mrs. Joseph Evans
Cowles of Los Angeles, California.
Both Mrs. Cowles and Mrs. Sneath
have mobilized their campaign forces
with the shrewdness of a Tammany
