Editor BENEFITS harnm scarum gift s

The Herald employe strikes very good
thing when he has the luck to get into the
graces of the proprietor of that paper.
Mr.. Flynn, the managing editor, was a
reporter on the Herald a few years ago.
One day Mr.. Bennett saw in his columns
a news report of matter in which he was
particularly interested. The report pleas
ed him very much, and he inquired who
wrote 1t. Flynn was the young mans
name, and Flynn at once received a pres
ent of gold watch and chain, 800 in
cash and leave Of absence for six weeks
on full pay. A while afterward he was
made managing editor of the Telegram,
and after two years good service there, he
was promoted to the managing editor
ship of the Herald. There are probably
twenty superanuated employees of the Her
aid whose declining years are comforted
BY liberal pensions from the office, and
ONE draw full pay. Bennett subscribed
$4,000 to the Benefit fund for his printers.
The fund is large enough to permit the
payment of $500 to the heirs of Herald prin-
ters1 when he dies, and when he il sick he
receives weekly allowance. A few years
ago the autocrat OF the Herald sent one OF
bis city editors on six month, trip to
South America in pursuit of health, and
paid all the expenses. He came back d
