AN EDITORS CONSOLATION.

An editor died, and slowly
wended his way down to where he
supposed warm reception await
ed him. The devil met him and
said "For many years thou hast
borne the blame for the many
errors the printers made in the
papers. The paper has gone, alas,
for 81, and the 81, alas has often
failed 20 come in. The printers
have bedevIled thee for wages
Saturday night when thou hadst
not one cent to thy name. Men
have taken the paper without pay
ing tor it, and cursed thee for not
getting up a better paper. Thou
hast been called dead beat by the
passenger conductors when thou
hast shown thy annual pass to
their envious gaze. All these
things thou hast borne in silence.
Thou canst not come in here" And
he fired him away. And as he did
so. he murmured to himself,
"Heaven is his home, and besides
if we had let HIM come in here he
would have been continually dun

Died Rather than Drink.

ERIE, Jan. 2S.-A pleasant-look-
ing young man walked into E. ID.
Carriers hardware store today and
asked for a revolver. While dis
cusslng the price he loaded a Brit
Ish bulldog, and, throwing it mp to
his left breast, over his heart, said,
"I'll bid you good by" and fred,

from his pocket addressed to his
sister. Mrs. Charles f. Reed of the
Hotel Emery, Cincinnati. From
this it was learned that the Young
man was A. G. Mccoy, of Knox
vile. Tenn. He was taken to the
Hamot Hospital.
Mccoy explained III his letter to
his sister that he was the victim OF
an uncomfortable desire for whls-

to dueuch the thirst was to kill
himself. lie begged bis sister not

himself from an inebriate or insane

graduate of the university at Knox

correspondent and solicitor for

To Remember In Sickness.

The etiquette of the sick room
should be understood. Many a
patient, nervous and excited, has
literally had the life forced out and
gone to the grave through uneasi-
ness or fright over his mysterious
surroundings. There is no time
when man or woman more needs
10 have natural aud cheerful peo.
Die about than when tossing on a
sick bed. Talking in the room
should always be done in natural
toneo voice and never in Whispers
There should be no tiptOeing and
no long faces, or discussions over
this or that grave symptom. Ihe
doctor tina; does not bring a breeze
of cheerfalness with him to the
sick room had better cult business
and 90 to the undertaker's trade
There are many forms of diseas
where the patient is killed or cured,
not b, any remedies, but by the
indiscretlon or discretion ot the
physician and attendants.

satisfaction, that are attended with
safety and surfeits and fatter in

lesson his reputation; he is still
afraid lest any of his actions should
