We note with pleasure the fact that

side for Todd, and are therefore glad to
see him promoted to a position which ex-
acts little labor and secures a fair reward
while it lasts. We learn that this appoint
ment will interfere only temporarily with
his coming duties as local reporter on AL
toona's promised daily, which position has
been rendered and accepted by him.
