says his father went into London every morn

Ii Julian Arnold really said that, he prob
ably told more lies in those few lines than he

beautiful, but rather gauzy fable that exists
in the highly imaginative intellects of young
journalists, of some three or four days ex-
perience in the dog fight and fire department
of an able journal. A cuff is an awkward
thing to write on at best, and it is very sell
dom that n newspaper man is SO reduced for
stationery as to he compelled TO write poems
aud leaders on his cuffs. Especially VIII

tablets
When You hear man telling how he
took down a three-column speech, at mid
night, in pelting storm, on his cuff, ask
him if he didn't see to write his notes by the
lurid glare of his nose The one is quite as
probable as the other No more of this

that any man should come all the way from
