deeds of gore, being himself not much on
his muscle, found it necessary to keep n
fighting editor, and he had sptnkinn-

call him when danger required. One
day gentleman whom the editor had
referred to as "crOSs-cNCd ,lromrdarv,"
camo in to request II correction, and as
the fighting editor was out, be didn't re-
spOnd to the signal Of DISTRESS and white
the editor and his visitor were on the
floor under the desk the former agreed 10
correct the mistake, and the iratr man
LETT. Pretty sOOn Il gentleman from the
rural districts came III to give the editor
a big squash and get Il notice. and about
that time the fighting editor returned,
and boy i'll his room told him that the
boss wanted help. The man of war was
quick to respond, and, daShing into the

beholding the hcmSc collide with post
and become a complete wreck, mnl their
horror at seeing human body prrcipi-
tAtcd to the sidewalk was only c,malird
by their amnZcmcnt at seeing it Sprir,r
nlmbly to its feet and take off across fine
country yelling murder. They THOUGHT
1t was an attempt to bury man alive,
and part Of them went to get the UNDER
takcr to lynch him; while the rest lur-
