satlSiaCtlon II ne WoulQ wear ms brains breaded. Then he had said something else that was per sonsl and it had gone on for some time. We devoted IS minutes each dly to the management of our respective papers, and the bal ance of the day to doing each other up in a way to please our subscribers.
 One evening Lorenzo Dow Pease came into my office and said he wanted to see me personally. l said that would suit me exactly, and that if hs had asked me in an other way did not know how I could have arranged it. He said he meant that he would like to see me by myself. l therefore dis. charged the force, turned out the dog, and we had the ofhce 10 our selves. ] could see that he was in trouble, for every little while he would brush away a tear in an un. derhanded kind of way and swal- low large, imaginary mass of something. l asked Lorenzo why he looked so depressed and he said; Civilian, lhaye came here for a tayo-," He always sad l have came for he was a self made man and hadn't done very good 1 job either. "I have came here fer favor. l wrote a reply to your venomous attack of to day and l expected to publish it to. morrow in my paper, but, to tell you the truth we are out of paper. At least, we have a few bundles at the freight office, but they have taken ,Q sending it C. O. D., and haven't the means just at hand to take it out. Now, as brother in the great and glorious order of journalism, would it be too much tor you to loan me a couple of bundles to do me till I get my pay for some equestrian bills struck of Friday. and it is just as good as wheatl"
 How long would a couple of bundles last you2" I asked, as 1 looked out oi the window and wondered If he would reveal his circulation.
 "Five issues and little over" he said, filling his pipe from a small box on his desk.
 "But you could cut off your ex changes and 1t would last longer, 1 remarked.
 "Yes, but only for one addition al issue. l am very anxious to ap pear tomorrow, because my sub scribers will be looking tor reply to what you ssid about me this morning. You stated that l was a Journalistic bacteria, looking for something to infect and while l did not come here to get you 10 retract. 1 would like it as a favor If yop would loan me enough white paper @, sai pysal4 straigh, before my subscribers" "
 "Well, why don't you go and tell them about iln It wouldn't take long," l sad Tn a jocu1d way, slaPping Lorenzo on the back bu; he did not laugh. then told him that we only had paper eAoIgh to last us until our next bill came but that If he would write a caustic reply tc my editorial would print it for him. He caught me in his arms and then for a morent his head was piltowed on wy breast. Then he sat down aud wrote the | following card:
 Editor of the Boomerang:
 Will you allow me through your col umns to state that in your issue ol yester day you did me a great iniustics by re. ferring to me as q journaliaic bSc eria, looking for soTeth.Rg, 10 i3fect; also, as a l lop- cared germ of coiitagion, and, warn-. l ing people 10 vacinate in order to prevent my spread2 l denounce the whole article as a malicious lalsehood, and state that if you will only give me chance I will fight you on sight. All ask is that you wait until cal oyertake you, and 1 an able add wiling to knock great chunks of the uniyerse with you. do not ask any favors Cf an ediaJr who misleais his subscribers and intentionally misundtr. stands his correspondence, man who advises an anxious enquirer, who waots 10 know chow to get a cheap baby buggy to leave. tSe child, at a cheap hotel; man who assumes to wear brains, but who really thinks with a fungus growtl; a man the bleak and barren ex. terior of whose head Is only equalled by Its bald aud echoing interior.

I looked it over, and as there didn't seem 10. 4a. anything per. sonal in it, l told him l would print 1t for nlm with pleasure He then asked that 1 would, as a fur. ther favor, refrain from putting any advertising marks on il, and that l would make It follow pure reading matter, which dld. 1 leaded the card and printed with simple word of introduction, in which 1 said that took pleasure in print. ing it, inasmuch as Mr. Pease could not. get his pager out of the express of6ce for afew days.
