Artemus Wards Foresight.

There is an unlimited amount Of
humor on tap in the average news
paper office, and the historian of the
Times star has unearthed an anecdote
of Artemus Wards first experience as
"a reporter on a Cleveland newspaper.
That was before he became known as
a humorist and he was pressed into
the jenkins of the establishment. One
evening he was sent out to write up
''swelp entertainment to be given by
the leading club of the city On his
way to the hail Ward met friend.
(which way, Charles?'
Going to write up sort of a fly
shindig."
Let's go in and take a bowl. I'm
going down that way pretty soon"
They went into beer hall Il must
co. said Ward, after they had spent
half an hour in the place.
ooh, no; sit down. Let's have
another bowl. Say, YOU can write up
that affair just as we'll from the pro-
qramme as you can by seeing the per-
formanee. Got programme, haven't

well, write it up and let's make a
little round?'
Ward surrendered Hewrote up the
performance, took the article to the
Office, and, after having received the
praise Of the city editor for the grace
fulness of his work, went out with his
friend. The next morning he read his
report and was much pleased with
his own ingenuity, but his compla-
cency was of short life, for, taking
another paper, he read the following
announcement:
THE performance'of the A Club,
in consequence of the sudden illness of
a leading feature did not take place
last night
Ward had not the courage to go to
the office, but boarded the first outgo-
inc train. Three months later he re-
turned to Cleveland and was walking
lazily along a street when he met the
managing editor of the paper for which
he had worked.
"Why, hello, Brownie" the editor
exclaimed.
Good morning.

"Sequestered. ~
"Why didn't you come back to the
Office after making your bad break?'

special line of duty. The City of New.
Haven had recognized his services by
giving him a gold medal and passing
official resolutions in his honor.
Archdeacon Colley, while preaching
in London a short time ago, was speak
ing rather unkindly of the Devil.
Recollecting himself in the midst Of

that the Devil is not so black as he is
painted, he replied to the fancied re-
monstrances Of those who would ask
him to give the Devil his due. "Ah,
my friends, he exclaimed. IF we gave
the Devil mis- due, many Of US would
