How Political Editors fix it up.

THE editor of Nevada journal sees
i in rival paper political announce
ment which, after careful search, he
fails to find in his own sheet. There
upon he seats himself and writes
GA NICE PILL.-Bill Virgins is out
with an announcement that he is q
candidate for sheriff Who is Virgins |!
A hundred persons have asked us this
question within the past few days, and
we have taken pains to look up his
record. Virgins is man who has
bummed in this community for the past
ten years, seeking office and finding
none. He has buclxed like an old mule,
stiff.legged, at every ticket he has not
been on, and tried to bust every COM
binaton that was not made in his in
terest. He is a political parasite, that
the voters of the town should put their
foot on for the last time. He needs a
final quietus, and next"
Just then Mr.. Virgins entered and
laid down So for his announcement,
explaining that he had intended to
bring it earlier, but it had slipped his
mind. He was hardly around the
corner before the editor had thrown his
article in the waste basket, and wrote as
follows:
ga REPRESENTATIVE MAN.-We are
glad to announce the fact that Colonel
William Virgins, we'll and favorably
known in these parts, announces him
self as candidate for sheriff. Mr.. Wig
gins has always been consistent man 4,
and never identified with the boilers
and soreheads who have made them
selve odious in the country for the past
few years. He has stood by the party
in the darkest hours of its history. Mr..
Virgins name will be tower of
strength for the ticket, and will lead us
to glorious victory. His name head
ing the county ticket makes it folly for
the opposition to nominate a man to
run against him."

calm, and in a tone so very different
from any in which he had ever spoken
before. "The captain and Mr.. Briggs
will escape" he cried
"Why, what do you mean ?" cried
Farnall. ''Escape How can they
escape ?"
"Because they are not in the hold.
They will take to the boats"
never thought of the boats"
Dan felt chill run over him. He
tried to speak, but his voice failed. He
had but one chance, and lie must try it,
" will go and bring the captain and
Mr.. Briggs down, if you like. Then
then can't get away"
g Ha, hal Pretty good joke. Well,
go bring them, and be quick" loosening
his hold and pushing Dan away.
Dan walked slowly to the ladder, then
he made one wild spring up.
"To the hold TO the hold A
leak ~ he shrieked, and fell gasping to
deck.
Within another hour, the madman
was in irons, the leak had been stopped,
and the water pumped out of the hold.
The danger was past, and all snug and
taut.
The crew made hero of Dan. Even
Captain Payson spoke out his hearty
praise.
"The lad saw what was to be done,
and did it. He had courage, and, what
is better, good sense. Who taught you
to use your wits, my boy ?"
My mother, sir" said Dan.
