"Pass the butter, dear"


Ethelbert Mcintyre looked up suddenly
from a buckwheat cake, his soft brown ewes
looking tenderly at Viola Mahaffa, whom.
Two short months ago, he had vowed at the
alter to love and cherish and protect until the
ICY KISS OF Death should turn the velyety
dsinask OF her cheek into whited marble, and
the pulsing warmth Of her dewy lips hat
now bestowed their sweets SO freely when
ever Viola wanted matinee tickets be gone
forever. Ethelbert had loved Viola with 9
wild passionate affection that swayed his
whole nature with its intensity, and when his
whispered vow had been answered by GOV
smiles and rosy bushes, and he had placed
his strong third base arm around a taper
waist and edged up closer to a hand painted
Satin dress, the bill for which would have
made his head SWIM, Eshelbert had said to
himself that he Was very, very happy.
And later in the evening, when the clock
had tolled the knell of a passing car and her

on the door OF tae loom overhead, like the
minute guns at sea, telling the young man
palmer than could any spoken words that the
quicker he started the better he would stand
with the head of the family, he had fingered
with Viola meath the ftful glimmer of the
front hall gas JET, and said again in his earn

guide him DER the storm-swept sea of life on
the South side, ennobling his whole existence

ed with tear-dimmed eyes upon the faults
and follies of others, and blessed the watery
veil that made the sight less plain. And then
she had placed her ehapely arm around his
neck and as he stood there. q willing captive
in dimpled chains of soft, white flesh, kissed
him so earnestly, so lovingly, that be almost
feared the shock of parting would be toe
much for her sensitive, Leavitt street nature.

Helping Editors to Obtain News.

Some supposed friends Of a newspaper
have peculiar ideas as to what kind of items
a paper really requires. Not long since a
gentleman came into the Galveston News
Sanctum and said: 'Look here. You miss
q heap Of live items. I'm on the street all
day; Ill come up every once in a while and
post YOU"
"All right, fetch on your items; but re-
member we want news."
Next day he came up beaming all over.
GIVE got a live item for you. You know
that bow-legged gorilla of a brother-in-law
of mine, who was in business here with
me?"
Il believe | remember such a person."
said the editor, YEARLY.
"Well, I've Just got news from Nebraska,
where he is living, that he is going to run for
the Legislature. Now, just give him a blast.
Lift him out of his boots. Don't spare hin
on my account
Next day he came up again. my little
item Was crowded out. | brought you some
news" and he hands in an item about his cat
as follows:
A REMARKABLE ANIMAL-Tne family cat
Of our worthy and distinguished fellow
townsman Smith, who keeps the boss gro
Gerry store OF Ward No. Is (beer always on
tap, yesterday became the mother of five
singularly-marked kittens. This is not the
first time this unheard-of event has taken
place. We understand Mr.. Smith is being
favorably spoken Of as a candidate for Al
derman.
The editor groans in his spirit as he lights
a cigar with the effort. It is not long before
be hears that Smith is going around saying
that he made the paper what it is, but it is
not independent enough for a place like Gal
weston.
Many readers will say this sketch is over
drawn; but thousands Of editors all over the
country will lift up their right hands to testi-
fy that they are acquainted with the guilty
party.
