THE NEWSPAPER CRITIC.
Mistake He Commits Whenever He
Writes to the Editor.

"Titc3 I'd inc Editor.
1t has long been remarked, says the New
York Tribune, that when a man writes to
newspaper making an explanation or
denial Of some thing that has appeared in
the paper that he invariably begins by de-
claring that his attention has been called"
TO the article in question This is the form /:
Editor of The Jimcrack-Dear Sir: NV
attention having been called to your unjust
criticism Of my action in shooting Jim
Spoopendyke's dog, have to say IN reply
that you are an unmitigated liar, and that
the dog killed one of my hens and barked
at me through the picket fence" And so
forth. But he never sees it himself, never
his attention has to be called.
Now. the fact of the matter is, as every
body knows, tina. this man sat up all night,
waiting Tor the paper, knowing that it
would probably criticlse him, and that he
would have the double pleasure of seeing
his name in print and writing letter to
the editor. When the boy brought the pa
per IN the early morning as the night-stars
began to dim, this man was lurking Just in
side the gate waiting for MIN. And there,
amid the morning dews, and by the uncer-
tam light of the last lingering freely, or
among the winter SHOWS and by the cold
beams of the waning, horned moon, he read
the offending article. This is how his atten.
ton Is usually called
OF course, we could not ask the letter
to tell the whole truth in the matter.
1t would not be necessary for him to be-
gin his epistle like this: Editor Tuning
fork-Dear Sir: Meeting your delivery boy
outside the gate this morning, seized the
paper feverishly. Hastily scratching a
match on the pavement eagerly read your
lying and scoundrely article about my vote

There are experiences in the lives of most
of us that bring the conviction that the
world is but a small place after all An in
cident related by the author Of Coral
Lands" is to this very point.
Our schooner was making the very best of
a very light wind through a channel dividing
two large sized atolls, which shall be name
less in this book, when a rowboat came along
side, steered by a youngish looking white
man, of course as brown as berry, and clad
in shirt and trousers only
Telling the boys TO keep alongside, he came
up our side, and, after purchasing some to-
bacco and other odds and ends, for he was a
local trader, | asked him to accept the hospi-
tality of our cabin over some sardines and
biscuit.
He suddenly turned round on me, and ask
ed if had seen the so-and-sos lately, men
Gioning the names of old school fellows of
mine, and most intimate friends. He had
recognized his old classmate, but failed at
first sight to see in the bronzed. stockingless
waif of the Pacific, trading in a most remote
cluster of atolls, the same fellow who, fifteen
years before, used to help me considerably
over the correct rendering Of some puzzling
Greek authors. -Youths Companion.

Cried laughingiy: There now I'll act
Your tailor's part for just minute"

How Stephen Girard Made a Man Rich

Seeing story about old Stephen Girard
the other day reminded me of an incident
that shows one of his peculiarities. Girard
had a drayman who was a decidedly poor
man. One day the drayman, who was an in
1ustrious, bright fellow, with a good many
mouths to fill at home, was heard to remark
that he wished he was rich.
What's that" sharply said Girard, who
heard the grumble
90" said the man, Il was only wishing
was rich"
We'll, why don't you get richf said the
millionaire harshly.
Il don't know how without money" re-
turned the drayman.
You don't need money" said Girard
We'll, if you will tell me how to get rich
without money won't let the grass grow be-
fore trying it," returned the other.
There is going to be ship load Of confis
Gated tea sold at auction tomorrow at the
wharf; go down there and buy it in and then
come to me-"
The man laughed Il have no money to
buy a ship load of tea with" he said.
You don't need any money, tell you,"
snapped the old man. Go down and bid on
the whole cargo and then come to me-"
The next day the drayman went down to
the sale. A large crowd of retailers were
present, and the auctioneer said that those
bidding would have the privilege of taking
one case or the whole ship load, and that the
bidding would be on the pound. He then be-
gan the sale. A retail grocer started the bid
ding and the drayman raised him. On see
ing ths the crowd gazed with no small
amount of surprise. When the case was
knocked down to the drayman the auctioneer
said he supposed the buyer only desired the
one case I'm take the whole ship load, -
coolly returned the successful bidder. The
aucioneer was aStonished, but on some one
whispering to him that it was Girard's man
who was the speaker his manner changed,
and he said he supposed it was all right.
The news soon spread that Girard was buy
ing tea in large quantities. and che next day
the price rose several cents go and sell
your tea" said Girard to the drayman the
next day The drayman was shrewd, and he
went out and made contracts with several
brokers TO take the stock at a shade below
ths market price, thereby making a quick
sale. In a few hours he was worth SjO,OO0

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a re-
markable event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence IL
is that so much is heard in praise of Electric
Btters. So many feel they owe their resto-
ration to health, to the use of the Great Al
terative and Tonic. II you are troubled with
any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of
long or short standing, you will surely find re-
lief by the use of Electric Bitters. Sold at Soc
