AN EDITORS PLEASANT LIFE.

There are but very few people who
are aware Of the pleasant life newspa-
per man leads. His pathway is strewn
with the brightest Of flowers, and upon
a downy couch he reposes. His daily
life is one continued round Of unalloyed
happiness. This is why so many young
men aspire to become editors.
There is no end to tie fun there is in
the business, rs will be learned from
reading the following OF an Eastern
editor, whose style of writing was
calculated to arouse people to deeds Of
gore. Being himself not much on his
muscle, he found it necessary to keep a
fighting editor, and he had a speaking.
tube connected with the peeler's room,
TO call him when danger required.
One day 4 gentleman, whom the
editor had referred to as a "cross eyed
dromedary," came in to request a cor
rection, and as the fighting editor was
out, he didn't respond to the signal Of
distress and, while the editor and his
visitor were on the floor under his desk,
the former agreed TO correct his mistake,
and the irate man left. Pretty soon a
gentleman from the rural districts came
in to give the editor a pig squash and
get n notice, and about that time the
fighting editor returned, and a boy in
his room told him that the boss wanted
help. The man Of war was quick to
respond, and dashing into his chiefs
room, and seeing the latter in a some-
what disordered condition, the result
of his previous visitor, he thought the
countryman was the cause OF it and
clnched him, and, after stav.ng up
some furniture, ran the victim across
the street to where an empty hearsc was
standing in front of an undertaker's
shop. Into the vehicle he jammed the
farmer and shut the door The COM
motion he had created scared the horses
attached TO the hearSc. and then started
off on a dead run. People soon noticed
the runaway and ran after il, and were
shocked a, beholding the hearse collide
with n post and become complete
wreck, and their horror at seing human
body precipi,ated TO the sidewalk was
only equalled by their amazement at
seeing it spring nimbly to its feet and
take off across the country, yelling
"Murder" They thought it an attempt
to bury man alive, and part OF them
went and got the undertaken to lynch
him, while the rest pursued the farmer,
who was found hiding in a swamp
And after he was brought in it took
over three hours to get matters explained,
and then the farmer went before justice
of the peace and made affidavit that he
hoped to be struck by lightning If he
ever entered a newspaper "ffice again.

ELIZA.


| clicayo Creek.
a newly married couple came to Chi
cago one evening this week and put up
At the best hotel in the city. Instead
OF going in At the ladies' entrance the
man escorted his bride clear through
the ro,unda and stumbling up stairs
found parlor, and leaving her there
came down to register. upon which lie
wrote in tangled leg sort of scrawl.
g. and lady,"
"That's your wife, presume ?" in
quired the clerk, blandly.
"You bet she's my wife, replied the
man, with an aromatic air of anger in
his tone.
"Make it so, then. on the register,
please" suggested the clerk.
What" said the man, staring like
a dog setting covey Of prairie chick
ems.
please make it 'and wife on the
register"
why, don, you think my wife is a
lady ?" inquired the newly hatchcd hus-
band.
"\ot the least doubt OF il in the
world, my dear sir, but the rules of the
house make il imperative upon tie
married guests to sign as husband and
wife.
"You don't suppose I'd bring a wo-
man here to stay ii she wasn't my wife,
| do YOU q asked the man cnuking a
little, and trembling at the corners Of
his mouth.
"Oh, no; but you just make it and
wife and j, will be all right" said the
clerk pacifcally.
The man slowly erased the word lady
and wrote wife just above it.
81 hate to do that" he murmured.
al have not been married but two days
and il looks as though was going plum

stand that ELIAS dad is worth over

haven't 60, any ladies in Chicago"

Preparing for Early Frost in the Gar
den.

Dr.. Geo. Thurber offers the follow
ing valuable garden hints in the o..
sober American Agriculturist:
The season during which garden
vegetables may be enjoyed can be
prolonged at both ends. Many are
ready to do this by forwarding their
various vegetables under frames in
spring, who neglect to provide for
the fall supply. 1t is we'll to plan a,
once for the other end of the season,
especially in northern localities.
where an early frost may play havoc
with the tender plants In the garden.
Those who keep the run OF the
weather are aware that, in northern
at least, there are usually two or
three nights of early frost, followed
by a period of glorious weather, in
whica all the plants that have escap.
ed the first attacks, seem to luxuri-
ate in the growing period which fol.
lows. In northern localities tomatoes
are caught by the early frosts, just
as they show the best prospect for
fruit. Melons have set with excel.
lent promise of ripening, which 8
single frost will blast, and the best
of all beans, the Limas, will be
checked just when they are appar-
emily most productive, by the same
adverse influence. If we can get
safely over these early frosts, the
season of productiveness can be
greatly prolonged. With tomatoes,
II there were no other advantage, the
ability to shield them from early
frosts is greatly in favor of training
them to trellis Of some kind.
Whatever will keep the vines from
she ground, and in compact form,
will greatly increase the supply of
fruit, and will allow of their being
sheltered from the first frosts. In
protecting from frost We have not, as
many suppose, to ward of an attack
OF cold; we have only to keep the
plants themselves from cooling to an
undue extent. The least possible
shelter will answer this purpose, and
for garden uses, The most available
is newspapers, without regard to
their politics. II on nights when
frost is apprehended newspapers are
spread over the tometo plants, all
the more conveniently done if they
are trained to treIlises, or over choice
melons that have not yet ripened, a.
a rule the crop will be saved. The
papers should be kept as far above
the plants as possible. In protect.
ing melons, it is we'll to place stakes
foot or more high among the vines
and allow the papers to rest upon
the ends of these. 1t will not be
very difficult to shield such low
plants as tomatoes and melons. The
first frost will kill Lima beans, if
will be we'll to take up the poles, dig
digging the vines at the same time,
when sure of an approaching frost,
and place them under shed. Treat.
ed in this manner. many Of the
young pods will Oil and be availa.

THE LITTLE STRANGERS ARR.
VAL.
BY MARY e. BRADLEY.

The Lady Moon came down last night
She did, needn't doubt it
A lovely lady dressed in white;
I'll tell you all about it.
They hurried Len and me to BED,
And Auntie said, "Now, maybe
That pretty moon up overhead
viii bring us down baby
"You lie as quiet as can be;
Perhaps you'll catch her peeping
Between the window bars. to see
all the folks are sleeping.
And then, if both OF you keep still,
And all the room is shady,
She'll float across the window-sill,
A bonnie, white moon-lady.
"Across the sill, along the floor.
You'll see her shining br Chilly,
Until she comes to mothers door,
And then she'll vanish lightly.
But, in the morning, you will fluid,
If nothing happens. maybe,
She's left us something nice behind
A beautiful star-baby."
We didn't Just believe her then,
For aunfy's always chatting;
The tales she tells 10 me and Len
Would make you die alaughing.
And when she went out, pretty soon,
Len says, "rhat's aunty humming:
There amt bit of lady-moon,
Nor any baby coming"
thought myself. 1t was fib,
And yet wasn't certain;
80 / kept quiet in the crib,
And peeped behind the curtain.
] Didn't mean tn sleep a wink,
But, all without warning,
4 dropped right Oft-and don't you
think,
never walked till morning!
Then, there was aunty by my bed.
And when climbed and kissed her,
She laughed and said, "YOu sleepy
head!
You've got little sister!
What made you shut your eyes 80 soon !?
I'ye halls mind to srod YOU
For down she came that lady-moon,
Exactly as | told you"
And truly, it was not a joke,
In spite of Lens denying,
For, just the very time she spoke,
We heard the baby crying.
The way we jumped and made a rush
For mothers room, that minute!
But annty stopped us crying, Hush
Or else you shan't 60 in it,"
And then we had to tip-toe in,
And keep as awful quiet,
As If it were a mighty sin
10 make bit of riot.
But there was baby, anyhow
The funniest little midget!
just wish you could peep in now,
And see her squirm and fidget.
Len says he don't believe its true
He isn't such gaby-
The moon had anything to do
With bringing us that baby.
But seems to me it's very clear,
AS clear as running water--
last night there was no baby here,
So something must have brought
her!
