An instance Of the poverty at
tending formerly the editorial call
ing is given in the following story
A country editor called his "devil'
to him one day and informed him
that he would be obliged to dispense
with his services, unless he would
be willing to take nine-pence week
for his work, or share the profits OF
the paper. The "devil," after
meditating few moments, decided
to accept the nine pence a week.

MCSiE1M Lee. ~, 1910.
Mr.. EDITOR: The people Of Mo-
sh,in and vicinity were very agreea-
bly, entertained on the ooh inst, by
the energetic students Of Mosheifn
College, under the supervision OF their
worthy President, Rev J. c. Barb.
The exercises were such as to be ap-
preciated by community. in which
refinement and good morals reign So
preme.
In the forenoon, the exercises con-
sisted of reheraals by the primary de-
partment, also declamations and cow
position by young ladies aud gents.
The evening was very agreesbiy
passed by listening select music from
the class of Prof. Glenn, which we
must say surpassed anything OF the
kind 10 which we have listened for
some time. We could offer no cFiti-
cisms on the exercist : uf the day,
unless it would be for tl,s young gents
TO commit their pieces some better.
We regret TO say that two OF
the orators were compelled TO
take their seats before through
on account of not having their pieces
we'll committed, one just letting it
pass for what it was worth. The other
made his rather worse by saying his
lungs were a failure and he would
dismiss.N
With best wishes for those young
gents next time, and also for the cOl-
lege and professors.
| remain truly,
A SPECTATOR.

An impecunious editor, while
travelling on the New York Central
Railroad on a pass, was put off at
Utica by the conductor in compll-
ance with a new law then enacted
in that State forbidding the use of
passes. In letter to his wife the
unlucky journalist thus related his
woes: 6 Dear Wife-Sell my 10th
err clothes for what they will bring
and remit at once. Had my linen
buster for supper and my spare
shirt will have to go for lodging.
May be able to make light breaks
fast on a German silver comb and a
pair of shears that I CHANGED to
have with me. Don't know when |
shall get home; it will depend a good
deal on the walking. Don't marry
for few months; there is a bare
possibility of my getting back"

The Washington correspondent
of the Springfield Republican re-
lates the following:
Scene, Pennsylvania avenue.
Time, Tuesday, after adjournment
of Senate. Weather warm and
pleasant. Senator Blaine, strolling
down the avenue, meets an old &C
quaintance, Mr.. j (the one
time private secretary of Charles
Sumner), who has just come out of
a store with a package of figs in
one hand and a fig in the other
which he is eating. Blaine: Why
j, how are you? (They shake
hands,. What are you eating? give
US one? blaine takes the package,
extracts a couple of figs, ehucks
them in his mouth.) How's your
health? J: Pretty fair. Blaine:
How's your family? j: Well as
usual, thank you. Blaine: Come
around and see me; good day. j.:
Good day, Senator. Blaine moves
on down the avenue, looking every
man in the eye; speaking cordially
to everybody he knows. This sim
pie scene is a sample of the Sena-
tors off-hand, hail-fellow-well-m et
style, which makes everybody like
him whether they approve of his
politics or not.

ABANDONING THE THEORY OF sUICIDE-A BELIEF
GROWING THAT SHE HAS BEEN ABDUCTED.
The mystery surrounding the disappearance
Of Mrs Henrietta Wertheimer from Fort Washington on
Tuesday last has deepened with the growing belief
that she did not drown herself near Fort Washington
T. r. Lowe, the submarine diver said Saturday night
that his search led him 70 believe that the body would
never be found In the river In order to satisfy Mr.
Wertheimer, however. he tried the experiment
OF exploding gunpOwdor beneath the surface OF
the water. Eight water-tight canisters containing
charges OF powder aud ntro-gycerne, were placed In
the river yesterday and the charges exploded by
electricity. The explosion threw the water TO the height
OF over twenty feet and killed thousands
OF fish. No trace OF woman's body could
be discovered, however. Mr.. Wertheimer, who
remained at Fort Washington 10 watch the opera.
tOns, expressed himself last evening as 1nly satisfied
that his wifes body not In the river He was
convinced, he said, that his wife had met with foul
play. Captain Steers however stu holds TO MS theory

EcoNoMY-PRoPosED RECALL OF OUR MINISTER
TO MExIco-MR. sHRRNAN's REQUEST FOR WIT

The claim that the Democrats have reduced
Government expenditures is denied and ex-
posed by Congressman Foster. A proposition
has been made to recall our Minister and con-
suls from Mexico. A draft of letter re-
fusing Mr.. Sherman's request that GER
tain witnesses be called to prove
intimidation by the Democrats in Lou

probable that work on the Harlem Kver
