See here, Mr.. editor" said an
irate woman, coming into the sane
tum and leaving the door open, "see
here, what's this in your mean little
newspaper ?" Really, madame,
there's so much in it, considering
that it is only 50 per year, in ad-
vance, with liberal reduction to
clubs, that | cannot at the first
blush tell you what it is.
"Well, don't talk your jaw of, but
tell me what you mean by this ref
erence to my late husband" "
"Ah, madame, the good, kind soul
who died only yesterday
The same one,,; you didn't think
| was planting one after each meal,
did you ?'
Hardly that, madame, but what
do you refer TOP
why, sir, this passage in the
obituary where you say he was con-
signed to a roasting place with his
fathers
"Ahem, madame, ahem let me
see" and the editor grabbed the pa
per and gazed intently at the pa
per.
Il beg your pardon, madame; 1t
should have been a resting place ;
and if YOU will come down to the
office this afternoon you can have
the scalp of any internal compositor
in the office, and | will tear it off for
you. We can stand some things,
but that style is too narrowing on
the feelings of 4 good paying sub
scriber like yourself" She was pac.
flied and got the scalp.
