full spot in the world than an editorial
sanctum. Ifyou doubt it, just ask any
man who has spent several years there,
wearing out his brains in perpetual eff
forts to write first-class articles, and
having the same brains bothered every
five minutes by people who can't I'M
derstand how gloriously he is enjoying
himself. Here is how writer in the
Detroit Free Press talks about the
pleasures peculiar to the deep grim
silence of the sanctum.
mo one ever comes up into the
rooms of the top story of four-story
| building set apart for the staff of a
daily paper. This is why every article
| reads SO evenly and smoothly All
you've got to do If you belong to the
staff is to climb up there, sit all day
long in the deep, grim silence, and when
midnight comes you can lower yourself
| down stairs with consciousness that
every article viii read like clock-work.
Yesterday morning l commenced an
article entitled ''The Unseen Influences
of the Spirit World and had got
as far as to say that Although we
hear no voices, there is some subtle in
htiNliCt PEI NdlluS TILT WDPn a man
| came up with demand for a correction
of an article charging him with bigamy.
You have to keep right up with an idea
when you get hold of if, and so [ run
him in -
Pervading about you all the time
Peter Smith has called at this Office to
say that the unheard voices coming
from the dead often swerve lis from he
isn't the man mentioned as having two
wives the path marked out by the OBJ
Stlnate -n
Here another man came In and want
ed a notice of his new building.)
g. spirits which refuse to yield to
that new block on Michigan avenue,
although Smith is directly charged bv
the police, with marble front and 100
feet deep. At night, after a days toll,
who does not love to sit down and let
his mind run to the mysterious shad-
owy basement under 1t, and stone caps
above the windows, we take great pleas
ure IN setting Smith right before his
fellow-cltIzens, and
tHere man came up and wanted to
look at state map, although he could
have found one down stairs.)
Certainly, sir look at all the state
maps you want to, and call back the
spirit OF some dear friend gone before
as will ascertain the name of the police
man who wrongfully accused Mr.. Smith
of having a frontage on Michigan ave-
nue., which bel ps the look Of that street
very much, and you will find the county
of Hillsdale further to the left Of that
land from which no one has ever re-
turned to tell us whether our friends
are sad or joyful -"
tHere boy came up and wanted to
sell some tonka beans to keep moths
off,
"ThaEk ye, bub, don't want ATTY
tonka beans if yen ever want to look at
any more oil our maps come right up
with a Mansard roof to crown all. and
Smith is now set right before the pub
lie and his friends generally, who have
thus improved the town and commune
with them as to whether a moment cf
sadness does not occasionally steal over
them as they think of the fond friends
lett behind come up again and I'll
talk with you about the tonka beans
and every patriotic citizen ought to
keep state map in his new block on
Michigan avenue Smith states that one
of his wives deserted him in Illinois
and the other"
(Here a subscriber came in aud waiit
ed to know why no paper was issued
the day after Thanksgiving
Because 1t was day set apart for
one hundred and forty-four widows In
the entire block with tnnla Beans EN-
amelled on state riass to mourn their
early departure through the valley and
the shadow of death, | don't want YOU
to bother me any more Mr. Smith about
your wives and come bub get right
down stairs now with your beans to
that spirit land where all Joy and peace
compositors wanted holiday and il s
against the principals of Christianity
Here boy came up with a basket
of apples.)
-" Forever more can't eat apples
owing to my teeth and Smith is now
made good for any beans which any
state map connected with this office
has nothing but JOY and peace to mark
| the ncver-endlng time Iii break your
neck II you say apples TO me again and
you see that the new block spoke nf
has no blgamy to prove the meths don I
apple the tonka beans sold IN Hillsdale
county.
