FIRST LESSON IN A PRINTING
OFFICE
A Weasel or a Whistle.


Quite an amusing incident occurred in
our Job composing rooms Tuesday morn
ing. To explain, there is a whistling or
talking tube extending from the counting
room to the job-room aforesaid, through
which shrill whistle is given when atten-
ton is wanted from the latter to the
former. The evening previous the con-
troler of the job-room had hired a new
boy, a darby, to do "chores' about his
department. Bright and early yesterday
morning the new darby was on hand.
Now, if there is lonely place this side of
the grave, it is printing office, at early
dawn, before any one has before been
there. Where, but few hours before eli
was hustle and activity, presses rafting,
proof being read, types going up, aud
forms going down, it is, at dawn, still as
the tomb.
This was the situation when the new
darkey arrived. With broom and sprink-
Ter he commenced setting the house in or
der. Dead copy, dead proof, dead manu-
script and dead matter generally was
thick enough all about him. IuEy presses,
dark forms, queer shaped things to him
we're there. His eyes were white as chalk
balls as these imaginary hobgoblins were
dimly seen. Suddenly a shrill whistle
cams from the eounting-room. ''Gor-a-
nifty save me" cried the darkey, as ghosts,
O dozen old Nicks, and troop of Ku-Klux
fitted through the fourth-story window all
at once, he imagined. Shrilly the whistle
blew again. ''Oh Lorzy messy, screamed
the darkey, as he dropped broom and
sprinkler, and leaving his hat behind,
rushed through the composing room, turn
ing over coal scuttles, knocking type into
ri. and upsetting the water cask. The
everlasting whistle sounded again, and
with a cry of ''Oh, Lordy, Use gone, done
clean gone, the darkey rushed frantically
down three pair of stairs and into the
street. where he was halted in his wild
career. Soon after, his employer came
and. taking him back into the job room,
expiained to him the cause of his fright
and the arrangement of the whistle.
s'Whistle"l he exclaimed, Il thought it
was a weasel or the devil or suthin wuss. p"
The bow went to work, but is still very shy
of the corner where that mysterious whistle
is located, and is watching it very closely
as his first lesson in printing office.
