that ever lived.
Au instance under each of thes,

paper for an sdver jsemaut. q loca

money" and states that accounts
against persons who owe and do not
pay, will be put into the hands OF a col.
lsctor, etc.; all of which was entire.
ly correct for the firm for whom the
advertisement was intended, but the
game Of the advertising firm has by
accident been put below another
paragraph, and the BLADE itself is
made to appear as proposing to col
iect money by civil process, when
the fact is, that the fsdgling has not
YET gotten the "pin feathers" off Of
it, end could certainly not have had
anything due it long enough TO JUS
tify the mcst modest hint in that con-
nection, if indeed, it be granted that
such hint from a newspaper, in its
own behalf, can ever be exactly
CONNIE IL faut,
Another item says, "The readers
Of the BLADE will find out they are
getting the worth of their money on
ysoeiying this issne. I will send you
the paper for one year for ST."
Before I would write that para
:y:aph in my paper, ] would take the
BLADE and hang it up on one limb OF
l. tree, and then hang myself on an
other limb.
In the hurry of "making up the

calls it. and the printer or foreman
who did it, doubtless did it meaning

perhaps if this were understood, hut

bee GOOD thing for me. 1t has
e!e' n the whole journalistic,

ing ~. for years I have been
! labl under a delusion that was
dan y to them.
l,ve frequently read in papers
nsti es ostheir great circulation, and
the euShusi ism with which those
papers were being received by the
world At large, and the great and
increasing and clamoring demand
for that pspsr that made it appear
lnat there was danger Of mob do

win avery resource called iuto re-
cni-isioc, hs could not print papers

always, until this little incident in
my own experience, thought these
things were written by the editors
themselves, and have wondered how
in the same paper those editors could
predicate "cheek" as anything pecu-
liar to book sgent or government
mule. Bat since l see that these
remarks are merely put in by printers
10 GIL out columns that would other
wise be TOO short, the explanation is
gratiiyipgly satisfactory, and an un'
pleasant little imputation has been
ramovad from ths otherwise fair re-
cord Of journalistic crayon drivers.
