Write Short, Pithy Articles

leave off before you are done." The same advice may be given to writers for the newspaper press. Give us short pithy articles, not long, prosy ones. Condense your thoughts. Go at once to your subject—let the introduction take care of itself,—and don't spin out your ideas. An article over a column in length, in these fast times—when cars behind locomotives with ten-foot driving wheels are the most popular,—are seldom read. Brief articles full of pertinent matter—these are what are in demand.
