eve" by editors is one of the him
drances to progress in journalism
One paper speaks of "our book Of
travels" when it means its editors
book of personal travels. A second
tells of an eloquent preacher "wev
went to hear last Sunday night,
whereas the paper did not 60 to church
at.that time or any other. Yet third
gravely informs its reader that I'VE
are glad to be again at our post after
an absence of several weeks al
though its issue had not been inter-
mitted. but this was merely the edi-
tors mode of saying that he had been
off on "a journey, and was now at
home again Like the clown pitching
back sumersauIt into the circus ring
with, Here we are again"

"Clara Bellen wants to know what
a young man won't do when he's In
love Well, he wont eat onions, he
wont give his attention to his busi-
ness, be wont wear a poorly-launder-
ed shirt, he wont go to see his girl
until he has oiled his hair and scented
his pocket-handkerchief, he wont
leave bis girl at night until he hears
the step of her exasperated father on
the stairs, he wont believe his girl is
anything but an angel, for he never
saw her hanging out the washing with
six clothes pins in her mouth at one
time. He wont take no for an answer
when he is parting with her on the
stoop and asks for 'just one," be
wont-but what's the use of going
further? ? Give US harder one,
Clara.

A minister, well-known by name
throughout the land, who has one Of
the best equipped houses Of worship,
was showing friend, not long since,
through its various rooms, when they
come 10 the kitchen, which was con-
nected by a speaking tube with the
pastors study. On the wall was
printed in large letters, 1.-The Lord
will provide" !" while in smaller letters
on the same wall, near the mouthN
piece, was the direction, Blow, and
wait for an answer" The visitor
naturally asked if the two inscriptions
had any particular connection with
one another; and it is hardly neces-
saay to state that change was soon
made in the lettering.
