A BOY'S ESSAY ON "EDITORS''

I <lon't know how newspapers got into the rvorld; and I don't think God does, for He ain't got nothing to say about them in the Bible. I think the editor is the missing link we read of, and stayed in the bushes after the flood and then came out and wrote the thing up, and has been kept here ever since. If theeditor makes mistakes, folks say he ought to be hung; but if the doctor makes mistakes he buries them and people don't say nothing because they can't read and write Latin. When the editor makes mistakes there is a big lawsuit, and srvearing, and a big fuss, but if the doctor makes one there is a funeral. cut flowers. and a perfect silence. A doctor can use a word a yard long rvithout him or anyone else knowing what it means, but if the editor uses one he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another man's wife he charges the man for the visit, but if the editor goes he gets a charge of buckshot. Ary college can make doctors to order, but editors has to be born.-Exchange.

The Way Out

The man who starts with the idea of getting rich, won't succeed; you must have a larger ambition. There is no mystery in business success. If you do each .day's task successfully, stay faithfully rvithin the natural operations of commercial law, and keep your head clear, you will come out all right.-Rockefeller.

A Natural Question

Salvation Nell: "Don't you want to ioin the Salvation Army?"

Old Man: "Who are they fighting?"

Epigrammatically Speaking

It's much easier to make an opportunity, than it is find one, and it's much quicker. - -

If you'll notice closely you'll fincl that satisfaction one half action, and only one fourth sat.

The Cold Bath

"What is so fine as an icy cold tub?

The kind you pop into and duck with a 'glub,' Then hop lightly out of and start in to rub?"

(So they say-so they say.)

"Let women and children an<l folk feeble-souled ::r' Turn on the 'Hot'faucet, but give ME the 'cold' The joy of the peppy, the bath of the bold !"

(So they say-so they say.)

"Cold water? I love it! It fills me rvith zip.

What's that? You don't like it? Say, boy, take my tip, It's good for lvhat ails you; cures spavin and pip."

(So they say-so they say.)

I've heard these here birds with their cold water rot, I've spied on 'em too, though perhaps I should not ! Nine times out of ten thev have turned on the "Hot" !

(He-v-hey !-Hey-hey !)

-By George S. Chappell.

What His Books Cost Him

Robert fngersoll was famous for the library of Agnostic literat'ure he possessed. One day he was showing a newspaper man through his library, and the interviewer asked the eloquent Colonel how much his library cost him. Looking over the shelves, Ingersoll ansu'ered:."Youlg man, those books cost me many thousands of dollars, the Governorship of Illinois, and perhaps the Presidency of the United States."

A Healthy Spot

"Is this a healthy town?" asked the stranger.

"It most certainly is," replied the native. "When I came here I could hardly utter a word, I had scarcely a hair on my head, I hadn't the strength to rvalk across the room, and had to be lifted frommy bed."

"Wonderful," exclaimed the stranger, "how long have vou lived here?" - "I was born here," replied the native.
