How One Chicago Newspaper Caught
AnOther-A Warming to the Nation.

From the Chicago Tribune.l
There is q custom among evening papers OF
stealing each others dispatches and other news
a practice which can hardly be reconciled with
strict morality, though perhaps based on good
business principles. The Evening NeUs, a
sprghtly and lively little paper Of this city,
feeling sggrieved that the Post should have
taken its National Press Association dispatches
without as much as saying, "By your leave" put
up job on its neighbor, and printed the follow
ing bogus telegram in its columns.
SAD STORY OF DISTRESS IN sERvIA.
A correspondent of the Times, writing from
Servia, where he has spent many weeks. says
the traveller. The land is devastated and the
people are starving.
Everywhere he found men and women crying
for food. He could see in any large village hun
dreds Of young men and women in a state OF semi
nudity. 1t has been a hard matter for the
Children are starving by thousands throughout
the country.
The men, young and old, go through the streets
shouting for bread, cursing the rich for not
coming TO their aid. few days ago the mayor
Of the provincial town Of Sovik issued procla-
nation ending with the ominous words: "Er us
shit la Etsil Tvs mel lum cmeth," (the munich
pality cannot aid
Upon reading this the people, led by the wo-
men of the town, organized a riot, In the course
Of which dozen houses were pillaged and over
twenty persons were brutally murdered.
+ The Post swallowed the bait and stole the dis
patch whole. After 1t had printed It in its irst
edition some one explained the matter, and IL
was suddenly withdrawn. The joke may be ap-
preciated by reading backward the apparently
graph. The McMullens referred to are, of
course, the proprietors of the Post.

WILBon's COMPOUND OF PURE COP Liver OIL

The advantage Of this compound over the plain
Oil is that the nauseating taste of the Oil is en-
tirely removed, and the whole rendered entirely
palatable The offensive taste Of the Oil has
long acted as prominent objection to its use but
in this form the trouble is entirely obviated. A
host Of certificates might be given here to testify
to the excellence and success OF "Wilbor's Cod
