George w. Childs, the Philadel-

"A young man recently wrote to

They read as follows: "Can not advise

still a gentleman as he is gentleman's
son, and to remain honest"

M. lola, in an interview on the
subject of journalism, ridiculed the
opinion that the work of newspaper
man is pastime. The public, he
said, were inclined to believe that jour-
nalists passed their time in cafes, drink
ing places and boudoirs. In his own
experience, newspaper life consisted
| of earnest work. The amount turned
out in the course of a single year by a
single journalist was truly amazing.
/ AT the San Francisco public library
they give every one who enters a red
ticket, without which he can not get
| out again. When he gets book at
the desk he gives up his ticket to the
librarian, and it is returned to him
when he hands in the book. By this
plan, as ingenious as it is simple, any
body may safely be permitted to draw
as many books for reading as he
chooses, with the certainty that he can
not carry any of them off with him.

A Curious Accident.

A very uncommon incident occurred at
the lower packet mill at La Crosse the
other afternoon. A small log was rolled
on the carriage for one of the rotary saws,
and in some way the dogs were loosened
just as the saw caught it, which shot it
through the air like an arrow. 1t passed
over the men and out at the end of the mill
near the roof, landing in the alley Just
back of the Office. Fortunately no one
happened to be in it's way and no damage
was done worth speaking of
