medium of the press that words will hardly express my thanks for their in my sad bereave menu A H pal A MOMENTS MODESTY the editor of a prosperous new york magazine looked up from the volume of poetry that he always reads with his meals and said 1 I dont feel as brash aa usual I 1 have lost a little of my belt confidence should you even you submit a manuscript to me today I 1 might take it might deem that there was in it after all some merit he smiled faintly and adjusted tho great black windsor tie that literary men wear 1 I wrote last week he said a bal laj it was a spirited ballad it dealt with love and war and death at the same time it was artistic aej at tho same time too it was righteous and moral as all magazine poetry must be for the war in it was a religious war and the love was that of a married man for his wife and the death was that of a villain who would have separated this well wedded pair of course it ended happily that of course never in my life baij the maga alle did I 1 write anything equal to this ballad I 1 asked myself what I 1 should do with it and I 1 decided for a joke to submit it under an assumed name to my own magazine my readers will adept it I 1 said to myself A check will be mada out for it at the special dicker rate of sa centa a line that is tho rate the best poetry fetched in these prosperous times and ill frame the check and hang it over my desk in the office so I 1 sent the poem to my awni magazine and by jove my own readers turned it down I 1 have three readers a woman and two men all three turned it down they said it was puo ale sickly sentimental amateurish they returned it with the usual print cu slip the editor smiled faintly again hereafter he concluded 1 I am not going to claim that the magazines never reject a really good thing casualties IN GREAT BATTLES although we have as yet no complete official reports from tokio nor from SL petersburg of the casualties suffered in the fiercely contested battle of we have not even received full and trustworthy data regarding the losses incurred in the preceding battle of llao yang it is reasonable to conclude from tha jata thus far forthcoming that the aggregate number of killed and wounded in the latest action or berles of actions which have taken their name from the sha river did not tall much it any short of sixty thousand men this would represent a loss of about 12 per cent it it be true that the total number ot combatants who either engaged or might have been brought upon the field at tho option of tho commanders was about alvo hundred thousand we shall not ask the reader to review grew some statistics but of military history aro aware that the percentage just named appalling as it is wag considerably in some of the of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen luriea and has even been exceeded in comparatively recent tims harpers weakly |
