A Black Kills Printing Office.

Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper o
Sept. Sth contains a picture of Charley
Collins Champion Office, DeadwoOd. 1t is
low wooden structure. with slab sides
and slab 3pof. Charley himself stands a,
the door, trying TO induce an Indian to
subscribe for his paper and promising to
have two or three columns day set up in
the Sioux ,jarSon. The Indian evidently
can't see it. as he wraps his blanket about
him, and makes no sign of reaching for
his pocket-book. Accompanying the illus
tration is the following description Of the
Office outfit:
1.-The newspapers. as now published, are
bright. personal. gossippy, and quite rich
in ''outside'' intelligence. Upon one, the

lishment of which is herewith illustrated.

room to devote from twelve to twenty
hours daily in building fourteen by twen-
ty feet. a very low story in height. and

tiers and the usual news and Job cases.

The Boy Hero.

In sermon designed to teach that a lift
of selfsacrafice is the only life..worth living
a New York preacher tells the following
touching anecdOte:
A rough teacher in school called up 4
poor, halfstarved lad. who had violated the
laws of the school, and said:
Take off your coat. sir!.'
The boy refused to take it of. The
teacher said again, Take off your coat
as he swung the whip through the air.
The boy refused. 1t was not because he
was afraid of the lash-he was used to that
at home-but it was from shame; he had
no undergarment. And as ut the third
command he pulled slowly off his coat
there went sob through the school.
They saw then why he did not want to
remove his coat, and they saw the Shout
der blades had almost cut through the
skin, and stout. healthy boy rose up
and went to the teacher of the school and
said:
20 sir, please don't hurt this poor fel-
low! Whip me. He's nothing but a
poor chap. Don't hurt him; he's poor.
Whip me"'
"Well." said the teacher. sits going to
be severe whipping; l am willing to take
you as substitute
"Well." said the boy, II don't care. You
may whip me if you will let this poor fel-
low CO.
The stout, healthy boy took the scourg-
ing without an cutlery.
Probably not one of our readers but will
say, Bravo" But how many will not on
ly admire but initiate the spirit of that self
Companion.
