"Jones will never forsake 'however;' Brown has sworn fidelity to 'nevertheless;' Robinson begins every other sentence in a speech, stump or after-dinner, with 'Now.' The word 'angle' is often overworked. 'From this angle it seems.' There was a time when 'it bulked' was used ad nauseam. 'It is a far cry' is another overworked phrase." "What's the big idea?" "The right slant," "Good eats," "intrigued," "You said it," are other bromidian expressions that are likely soon to go to the melting pot. "Tom Sawyer" was not completed all at once. Mark Twain had to stop when he was half through and wait two years before he knew how to finish the story. "At page 400 of my manuscript," he says in a chapter of his hitherto unpublished "Autobiography" in "Harper's Magazine," "the story made a sudden and determined halt and refused to proceed another step. . . . The reason was very simple-my tank had run dry." After a couple of years he took it up again. "It was then that I made the great discovery that when the tank runs dry you've only to leave it alone and it will fill up again, in time, while you are asleep. . . . There was plenty of material now, and the book went on and finished itself without any trouble." "During a recent visit to the Tower of London," a subscriber writes, "while in the armory, we saw a mace that bore the inscription, 'Borne before Charles II.' 'Born before Charles the Second!' another visitor said; 'how could that be?" " "The story told by Bishop Candler, of Atlanta, and quoted lately in your column, was told to me in the summer of 1857 by the Rev. James R. Bourne." So begins a letter from a subscriber, and makes us feel blue at having inadvertently worked off another old chestnut on our much-enduring readers. But this reassuring sentence follows: "I have never heard it since except perhaps two or three times when I told it myself, nor have I ever seen it in print before." Apropos of another subject, our friendly critic continues: "Rather curiously, the next year at school I studied Gillespie's Surveying, and he describes a method of mapping which Mr. Kennan describes as being used by Alexander Graham Bell." Only two men have succeeded in swimming across the English ChannelCaptain Webb and William T. Burgess. An American recently tried and failed. Luck seems a factor that decides success or failure in this feat, for if the shifting winds and tides prove unfavorable the attempt is foredoomed to failure. Webb swam the Channel in 1875, in 21 hours 45 mintes. Burgess accomplished the feat thirty-six years later, in 22 hours 35 minutes. from the old shoemaker YOU read a speech of David Lloyd George, and you say: "How did he learn to think so clearly and express himself with such power? What college did he attend?" His college was the cobbler shop in a little village in Wales; his teachers I were his uncle the cobbler-and a few really worth-while books. It was those books, wisely selected for him, and systematically read, that gave Lloyd George his start. Why not decide to-day to stop wasting your reading hours? Why not say: "From now on I will read only the books that will build me into a more successful man or woman; the books that have proved their building power in other lives." You can do it, if you will. Your reading problem has been solved; the solution is contained in a free booklet which every ambitious man and woman should own. It is called "Fifteen Minutes a Day" and it tells the whole story of DR. ELIOT'S FIVE-FOOT SHELF OF BOOKS The Fascinating Path to a Liberal Education Every well-informed man and woman should at least know something about this famous library. The free book tells about it-how Dr. Eliot has put into his Five-Foot Shelf" the essentials of a liberal education," how he has so arranged it that even "fifteen minutes a day' are enough, how in pleasant moments of spare time, by using the reading courses Dr. Eliot has provided for you, you can get the knowledge of literature and life, the culture, the broad viewpoint that every university strives to give. "For me," wrote one man who had sent in the coupon, "your little free book meant a big step forward, and it showed me besides the way to a vast new world of pleasure." Every reader of The Outlook is invited to have a copy of this handsome and entertaining little book. It is free, will be sent by mail, and involves no obligation of any sort.

These had cut their channel eight or nine hundred feet down through the hard lava flow that ages and ages ago spread itself in a sheet of molten rock over this region. One stream was called the Ochoco and the other, from its characteristic course, was unhesitatingly called Crooked River. These early pioneers may have wondered just where these clear, cold streams came from in the midst of such a desert. Enough for them, however, that their waters flowed so close on the surface as to make it a comparatively simple job to turn it out onto the level land of the valley for irrigating purposes. Thus began the little settlement of Prineville. All about them, up on top of the lava plains, lay one of the finest live-stock ranges to be found in all the West, especially in winter. Naturally they became range live-stock men, and as such prospered. For forty or more years Prineville was the central point of southeastern Oregon. They had dreams of some day rivaling Portland, far to the northwest. But alas for their future! no railway came near them. To the west, along the coast, and again to the north, along the great Columbia River, men built railways, but none ventured into that desert of lava rock and pumice. Then came the well-remembered fight between two great railway builders, each eager to outstrip the other in being the first to open up the huge belt of timber that covered the eastern slopes of the Cascade Ranges along the head-waters of the Deschutes River. For some time it looked as if this line would touch Prineville on its way to the south from the Columbia, but fate decreed that the road could be most economically built by going considerably to the west of the town, so their one chance for a railway was everlastingly blasted. For about ten years they hoped against hope that the builders of the road up the Deschutes River would take pity on them and at least build a branch line into their town. But their hopes Try the pride. A "Daily Dozen" FREE PROOF that Ten Minutes' Fun a Day GREAT and new idea-and more fun than a game! Ten minutes a day of genuine fun will keep you fit.
