A Patronizing Subscriber.
Texas siftiugs.l


The patronizing subscriber is the most exas-
perating man with whom the journalist has to
DEAL He does not hand two dollars to the edi-
tor and request that the paper be sent to his
address for year. He is not that sort Of
man.
When he buys railroad ticket he pays cash
down to the clerk who edits the ticket with
hand stamp, and to the Chinese journalist wEo
edits the shirt with fiat iron he disburses
some of his wealth before he gets his shirt.
But when he patronizss the editor his tactics
are different. He says: Well, reckon you'd
better put name down for your paper.
I really take more papers now than read, but
suppose Ill have to take yours too. We are
all expected to do something toward support
ing the press you know" He says this with
the air of a phlanthropist subscribing for the
controlling interest in a narrow-gaugue rail.
road, or new church on which he never ex-
poets to draw a dividend, but at the same time,
he neglects to reduce his cash balance by sub
scribing 50 in advance. He tells the editor 10
call on him for the amount when he needs 1t.
He is careful to leave the impression that he
has no possible use for the paper, and he will
likely never read it; he merely wants to beip
the editor out with the $2 he does not pay.
Althouhg the patronizing subscriber does not
contribute cent he positively imagines he
has squandered money that should have Sr-o
to the really deserving poor. In time 90 sno
paper prospers he comes to regard hi5nseI an Ss
the founder and proprietor r. IL. Ing only
wonder is that he does not Soli IL out Wheh, aS
is frequently the case, iailS go feheet ms po-
litical and religious views Wnen an ealtorial
demolishes one, Oh his pet theories, he begins TO
regret that he has been nourishing serpent to
his bosoIn, and talks of Withdrawing his sup
noyt from the paper. He even hints at essab-
fishing an independent organ that will proper
ly represent the people. In return for the
copy that he has not yet paid for, the exacting
patron expects that the editor will attempt IN
some slight degree to pay off the national deot
of obligation to him, by bringing his name De-
fore the people as suitable man tor some
prominent position. If this is not done ne re-
CARDS it as an evidence of base ingratitude.
He comes into the editorial room with
manuscript describing the wonderful idiosyn-
crasies of character displayed by his house
dog or some other such matter of importance,
and wants it put in the paper, ard when
the editor reads it and suggests that his
columns are crowded and that be hardly
thinks the matter offered would in
terest the subscribers anyhow, the patro1izlng
subscriber is astonished, and says, My heav-
ems, man, amt subscriber" and then he
goes off determined to bestow his patronage on
some live paper that will appreciate his assist
ance. What exasperates him most is for the
editor to send him bill for the 50 of capital
stock that stands opposite his name on the
hooks

Dining with a Magician.
Wonderful Transformations at Christ
mas Dinner in Museum.
New York Times.1


Dr. Lynn completed the one hundredth per-
formance of the mysterious magical feat of cut
ting human being up at Bunnell's Museum
yesterday afternoon The event was made the
occasion for a sort of Christmas festival and
anniversary dinner, to which all the museum
curiosities were invited. A table was set in
one Of the upper halls, and DIR. Lynn presided,
while on either side sat Mr. G. b. Bunnf u, the
giant and giantess, Captain Bates and lady
Dudley Fester, the "fve-pound atom, the
''limbless man." the cannibal, the Hindu
snake charmer, the Albinos, boneless man, fat
girls, and other curious Nom bers Of the mu-
scum company and the employees The magi-
clan, after mock apology as to his gloom1
ness and strange unsociabillty, proceeded to
play number Of surprising pranks on the
guests A plate Of green turtle soup set be-
fore the fat girl, disappeared as she was eating
it, another plate of the same delicacy became
globe of goldfish, and still another was
changed into plate OF baked chicken. A
fragrant bouquet suddenly blossemed at Pro-
prietor Bunnell's plate; before Captain Bates
delicious plum pudding steamed; the cannibal
saw generous cut of roast pig, and the limb
less man had dish OF raw eggs under his nose.
The walters were out OF the room during this
time, and when they returned the meal pro-
ceeded quietly until course of oyster soup
was reached Then it was suddenly discovered
that the midget who had occupied the high
chair had disappeared. A general search was
instituted, and after some delay DIR. Lynn,
with a serious air, broke the crust OF his o7s-
ter pie and produced the five-pound atom ap-
parently from between the layers OF oysters.
The restored curiosity" declared that he had
been crowded, but could give no account OF his
