"WHo stole Hawkins message?"
was the question that disturbed some
Of the republican newspapers and cor
respondents during the legislative re-
cess. They we're hard up for theme,
stealing such a message was a light
matter, and it was not a felony or a
misdemeanor. No law has been
framed to meet such a case except in
newspaper offices where the culprit
stands a chance to have his salary re-
duced. The message might have been
longer, but the more OF it there was
the less it weighed. The Legislature
ordered a large number of copies
printed, doubtless for individual use.
1t is a nice document, and will be
placed where it will do the most good
in the hands of the people.

From the New York GrAphie.I
As the makeup editor Of this pa

old problem Of how to make forty

columns Of extra, an excited indi

said the butcher who is said to have
great absence of mind, as he went
calmly on with his slaughtering.
Now it happens that the second
floor above the sanctum in the
Graphic Office is the roof. On the
roof is a little building of glass and
iron, called the light room, where the
photographers is done. The leading
artist in that room is Gigantic Irish
man, named Geohegan, who has been
crossed in love. lie always works in
his shirt sleeves, and has been bothered
all the winter with telegraph repair
ers, who will drag their wires through
his room, and will leave the door
open on cold days when they go out
on the roof.
Mr.. Geohegan is an estimable gen
tleman, but he hasn't got his red hair
for nothing, and he has lately been
heard to declare that he would pull
verize the next blank blank lineman
that tried to get up to his observatory.
Our friend of the ensanguined optic Of
course did not know anything of all
this, and he was toiling painfully up
the stairs when eohegan caught sight
of him. The conversation which en-
sued, the boss photographer says, was
somewhat as follows:

Geohegau-You want to find naw-
thin but you want to find your way
out of this, and you want to do it
