"A Free Press. "
row

The beautiful idea of getting some.
thing for nothing is nowhere more read
lily traceable than in newspaper office.
So much has been spoken, written and
sung about "free press" that people
have come to accept the term in a sense
altogether too literal.
If man has a scheme of any kind
terminating he just steps into the edito'
rial room and details it, with the re-
mark: "Tm not quite ready to adver-
tise yet, but few words will help me
along" He gets the few words, but
never gets ready to advertise.
Two tickets admitting lady and gent
to the sc. r. X. NJ T.'s grand BALI are
expected to produce six-l.nc local and
a quarter of column description of the
ladies' toilets after tie bali is over.
Church fairs and the like are worse
than balls. They never leave tickets, but
demand more space because otis mat

Should boy saw off his finger. CDR.
G. o. Plaster dressed his wound with
great skill" would be graceful way of
stating it, and, besides, it is "unprofes-
slonal" to advertise.
The patent rat trap man brings in one
of his combinations Of wire and moldy
cheese bait, sticks it under the editors
nose and explains how they catch 'em
every single time the spring works. Its.
something of interest to the community,
and if you put in piece save me
dozen papers," which he quietly walks
off with, as though he had bestowed a
favor in allowing editorial eyes to gaze
on such marvel Of int,icacy.
An invitation to "come down and
write up our establishment" is a great
deal more common than Il two square

must lie filled up with something or an
other you know.
The lawyer with strong prejudices
against advertising, is fond of seeing his
cases reported in full in the newspapers,
with an occasional reference to his ex-
ceedingly abe manner of conducting the
same. 1t is cheaper that advertising.
In fact everybody, who has an AK to
grind, asks the newspaper to turn the
crank, and forgets to even Say thank
you, but will kindly take free copy of
the paper as part pay for furnishing the
news.
The press being 'free," all hands seem
bound to get ABOARD and ride it to death.
That is why newspapers are so rich that
they can afford TO pay double price for
white paper, and never ask Congress to
aid them by removing the duty on wood

Some Leading Questions

A young man who looked as if he had
heap of things on his mind, but who
struggled hard to appear outwardly
calm, put five dollar bill on the desk
of a Detroit lawyer the other day and
said:

"Go ahead" was the reply as the
money was quickly thrust out Of sight.

A Teacher of Pocketpicking.

Twenty years ago Chester established
a school in London dedicated to the de-
voices of St Nicholas, and he speedily
obtained many pupils. The most well
known and skilful pickpockets who have
paid the penalty of being caught, and
those who were clever enough to evade
the clutches of the myrmidons of the
law, have all been moulded according to
the Chesterian method. And when it
is stated that in twenty years Chester
has been able to amass a fortune of fifty
Thousand pounds sterling. the great i'm
portance and efficacy of his lessons will
be thoroughly appreciated. His pupils,
on leaving his institution, were formed
into bands of ten, Under the guidance OF
''schoolmaster )" and it was under the
aegis of this ever-watchful guardian that
they overran the earth Two-thirds Of
the "pro6ts" were faithfully and pune
tually paid to the ilustrious pro-
lessor. Chester demeaned himself but
twice in his career by working per-
sonally it was at Paris, during the two
last Exhibitions. In 1878, he was ar
TtStcu anu cOUuenHtl 10 SIN IHollVHS
Imprisonment AMI he was, moreover,
prohibited from ever entering France
again. He has since disposed of
the goodwill of his cuisines" to two
of his best pupils and retired to Bir-
mingham, where he has great deal of
property. Having some very urgent
affairs to settle in Paris, he applied, q
few days ago, for permission to pass u
week in this capital, which has been
duly accorded him. But as it was
unadvisable to allow man Of his ca
pacity to roam about the city without
let or hindrance, two police agents have
been told off to act as escort Of surveil-
lance. Chester is 65 years old, and is
the father Of ten children, whom he has
educated in q princely manner, and he
himself is master Of several languages.

A DILLETANTE.

Can you recall an ode to June
Or lines to any river
In which you do not meet 1.-The moou
And see 'the mooubeams quiver?@
I've heard such songs to many atunc,
But never y,t-no, niver-
Have escaped that rhyme 20 "June"
Or missed that rhyme to river
At times the bard from his refrain
Amoment's respite snatches,
The while his uver-cu igell nj brain
At some new jingle catches:
Yet long from the unlucsy moon
Himself he cannot sever,
But grssps more that rhyme to Juno
And seeks rhyme to river
Then let not Incidence he blamed
on him whose verses show it
BY stunning burdens BRIGHTLY named
For reader and for pott)
For rhymes must fail him late or soon,
Nor can he deaf for
in words whose sound resembles June,
And assonants of "riyer."
When 'IooAs" been used, and ''shoon7 and Spoon
And "stiver" sounded stivver,
Think Of a bard reduced to Coon,
And left alore with silver
All then how bless, were the boon!
How doubly blest the givei,
Who gave him one rhyme more for June,
And one more rhyme for river

A Tiger in the Streets Of Paris.

A facetious jest was recently played
upon the susceptible Gauls who dwell in
the Monmartre District of Paris. One
afternoon cry of ia tlgre" was raised
in the Boulevard Clichy. and freight
ened multitude sought safety in climbing
lamp. posts and bursting into houses as
the ferocious creature rushed through
the streets A squad d red-legged SOL
diers were detailed to follow and destroy
the ferocious brute, which they finally
shot. After death is was found that
the tiger was huge mongrel dog. which
had been skilfully painted to initiate tho
monarch of the forest, and then, with .
tin pail ON it, tail, kicked into tho
streets, whore it became the terror Of tho
people until it, unhappy life was ended
