Some ole who "knows how IL i, l. i'm.
SELF" says: "A man who edits news
paper is much more q slave than man
10 any other profession. TIE law is .
jes'ous mistress, but much more SO i,
Journalism. A man who buds bimse
to newspaper has an existence of mo-
notonous drudgery. A lawyer can have
q vacation, an editor cannot-he is O
galley slave, chained to the task. When
the time comes he must write. The will
must come to the rescue. No sooner
does he get one paper out than all his
powers arc taxed tn get oat another
AMI he will fall BY the roadside under
the load unless he has an everlaslinc
spring Of enthusiasm In hia breaet."
