Probabilities.

Do not dictate to an editor how
to run his paper; should you do
SO. however. the probability is you
will be told to attend to your own
business. -.- s-,.rs1
Read the advertisements in your
paper, and the probability is you
will fndthe place you want in or
der to purchase something that
you have long been IN need of.
i. To ask 90 sditor to insert puff
in his paper without pay, is like
asking another TO work for moth
ing, and the probability is you will
get an indignant mo" to your ap-
peal.
II you have friend in a print
ing Office, never call to see him du-
ring the hours Of composition, for
he is then earning his bread and
butter. Should you do so, the
probability is ne will wish you
were-well, no matter.
If you enter printing office,
under no circumstances whatever,
neddle with the types, for you
II. .
may make pi; should you evade
the warning, however, the proba-
bility is you will get more inward
curses than prayers.
Never borrow newspapers from
your neighbors. If you are in the
habit of doing so, the probability
IS, that your last hours of life will
be full Of remorse and fear of death.
Never allow yourself to become
a delinquent subscriber; should
you do so, and die, the probability
is that the proprietor would inform
your friends Of your shortcomings.
And again, your chances to be-
come citizen Of Heaven would be
slim, IA it is. An objectionable sin.
II an agent Of a newspaper calls
on you, and asks: "How do you
feel" about subscribing for the
periodical, tell him you feel $50
and-so," and VIII do so, accom-
panying the remarks with the cash.
The probability is he will leave
you his thanks and retire in
cheerful frame Of mind.
