Facts About Editors.

When you write to an editor,
send three cent stamp, it will be a
great curiosity TO him.
Editors are slippery fellows.
They have an unrivaled manner ol
slippingout of the back door just
after publication day.
An editors veracity will do to
gamble on. He never lies except
for consideration, or in the plain
discharge of his duties.
Never ask an editor to drink un-
less you have good credit or an ex-
ira dime. You might cause him a
painful disappointment.
When an editors hair scales off
and the top of his head begins to
look like the skin side of a cow
hide, attribute it to wisdom-not
wife.
An editor never steals. He al
ways gives full credit, and he don't
write "Ex." after an article. There
are number of brainless scalawags
in the profession who pass for re-
porters and who steal, but they
don't have the pure ring
When you shake hands with an
editor don't squeeze his fingers too
hard, for they may be covered with
valuable diamond rings.
When you owe an editor a dollar,
don't pay him, for the shock might
be too great for his nervous sys-
tenn.
When you visit an Office mix the
editor's exchanges he has plenty
of time to straighten them. Steal
them if you want to; he will not
need them. Besides, il is fashion,
able.
If you are a mean man don't
mention the of advertising agent to
an editor, for it will thrill his soul
with delight and make him smile.
And when an editor smiles the
bark peels off and the weather turns
