A Phlegmatic Editor.

Mr.. McRoberts. now editor Of The
Leeds England Mercury, was at one
time a reporter in this city. says The
San Francisco Post. He was the most
argumentative and at the same time
the calmest man that ever struck the
town. He would stop work at fire TO
argue. Mr.. McRoberts was on his way
home early one morning when an
American citizen suddenly popped up
with pistol leveled at his head, and
said:
Throw up yer hands,
"Whyp" asked Mr.. McRoberts, IN
disturbed.
Throw them up."
"But what for?"
"Put up your hands" insisted the
footpad, shaking the pistol. "Will you
do what 1 tell you?"
That depends. said Mr.. McRoberts.
IF We can show me anv reason why l
should put up ma hands, no say but
what / we'll; but your mere requaIst
wad be no justification for me to do
sac absurd thing. Moo. why should
you. complete stranger, ask me at
this 'oor o mornin'. on public street,
tse put up ma hands?"
Dash you! cried the rObber; if you
don't quit gabbin' and obey orders I'll
blow the top of your head off,
What! Faith, man, We must be
GOT o. yer heed. Come moo, puir
buddy" said Mr.. McRoberts, soothing.
ly, coolly catching the pistol and wrest-
ing it with quick twist out of the
mans hand. "come, moo, an I'll show
We where they'll take care o ye. Hech!
Dinna ye try tae fecht, or, ecod. I'll
shoot We. By the way. We might as
we'll put up yer ain hands, an jist
walk aheed O. me. That's il. Trudge
away, moo"
And SO Mr.. McRoberts marched his
man to the city prison and handed him
over to Capt. Douglass.
1T wudna be bad idea tae pit him in
q strait Jacket, he said serenely to the
officer. There's little doot but the
buddy's daft"
And he resumed hh interrupted
