StODDcd Ills Paper.

Nowadays when snbscrlber gets
80 mad because an editor differs
with him on some trivial question
that he discontinues his subscription
and "stops his paper" We remind
him of a good anccdote OF tho late
Horace Greeley, the well-known edi-
tor OF tho New York TNDuSE
Passing down Newspaper Row, in
New York City, ono morning, he met
one of his readers, who exclaimed.
"Alr. Greeley. after the article you
published this morning, 1 intend to
stop your papor!'
"Oh, no. said Mr.. Greeley, "don't
do that
ayes, sir, my mind is made up. !
shall stop the paper"
But Tic angry subscriber was not
to be nppeascd, aud they separated
La;e in tho afternoon the two met
again, when Mr.. Greeley remarked;
"AIr. Thompson, I am very glad
you did not carry out your threat
this morning"
"what do You mean?'.
"Why. YOU said you were going 20
stop my paper
"And so I did; 1 went to tho oilico
and had my paper stopped"
"You are surely mistaken; 1 have
lust come from there, and the press
was running and business was boom
ing"
"Sir," said Thompson, very pom
pously, "I meant l intender to stop
my subscription to your paper"
"Ob! thundor!' rejoined Greely; 81
thought you were going to stop the
running OF my paper, and knock me

tell something: One man is just one
