Rules for Press Writers.

First-When you have filed both
sides of the sheet, turn back and cris-
cross the lines with some more chrog-
raphy. This will make YOU q fayorite
contributor with the powers that be. -
Second-Always. in sending an ar
ticle to the editor, accompany it with
a note, saying, This is one of my best
efforts He will take your word for
it, and accept your eiiusion for publ
cation. without reading the same.
Third-Dont fail to enclose a good
supply of postage stamps not ncces-
sarily as a guaranty for the return of
your rejected Ms, but the office boy
may need them in corresponding with
his Girl.
Fourth-If your "rot'' is in rhyme,
bring it up in person to the sanctum.
The boneyard proprictor-with whom
every newspaper publisher has con
tract-says that dead poets make the
best kind of soapfat.
Fifth-Never ''dot your is, or cross

Sixth-If you desire remuneration
for a forwarded communication, YOU
can use your own Judgment IS regards

Saved by Shakespeare.

Il bless Shakespeare every time inject
that fellow" said young man OF
Chestnut street, yesterday morning as
a chilly-looking individual brushed
past him.
You see,n he continued, Smith
married the girl was engaged to. But
she settled him. Why, that girl squan-
dered his money so he had to give up
his business, and he is now only sales
man in Wannamaker $.
.But what has Shakespeare to be
thanked for" asked friend.
''Well, / was engaged to this lady
about two years ago, and everything
was arranged for the wedding. One
night | took her to the theater to see
a Midsummer Nights Dream We
were both very much pleased with it,
and, am happy to say, remembered
various passages in the text. 4 few
days afterward we were at picnic to-
gether and strayed away from the rest
of the company during some of the
sports. The scene was sylvan one,
pre-eminently suited to billing and COO
ing. Addressing Kate, l said, quoting
That thy amiable cheeks may coy,
And stick musk roses in thy smooth, sleek
head,
And kiss thy fair large ears, my gentle joy
Immediately she fared up. / could
not account for her indignation, as l
was not conscious of having said any
thing to give offence. She seemed to
be about leaving me when l inquired
was she ILL.,
How dare you bring me here to
insult me?' she cried.
I" 1 insult your l repeated in aston
ishment. 4 insult you? No! and by
heavens, the man
''She did not allow me to finish nv
explanation of how very unfortunate
that man or woman would be who
should dare to insult her, but she inter-
rupted me.
i" 'Really?' she said, with sarcastic
smile, and yet you bring me here and
do it yourself
Upon my word
We are not married yet, she con-
tinued, needless of my eXpostulations.
If my ears are large it is not my fault,
and you, who have expressed so much
admiration for me should be the last to
notice the fact
"A flood of light now broke in on
me. | vowed that in making the
quotation | had intended no offence,
but she turned deaf ear to all my
pleading.
''At last l sank on my knees before
her, hoping to move her in this man.
ner.
4 have loved you-dearly loved
you, l said, and / believed you loved
ne in return. You do love me, and
surely you will not allow so trivial
matter to interfere with our future
happiness. Say you love me now as
you did before
Again she smiled sarcastically, and
curled her lip. Quoting also from the
Midsummer Nights Dream she said:
