HOW LONG THY LAST.
Newspaper work is usually represented
8, very hard aud wearing. As a matter of
iact il isn't and 1t is. 1t all depends upon
the kind.
No work is easier. and on the whole,
r1rc hoalthful than that Of the newspaper
free lance, whose responsibility ends when
- DAYS work is written. who keeps no
Gree hours, sleeps care tree, unless no is
tt.l. and earns "a decent living. Such
man or woman certainly ought to live
rrcr and more happily than the harassed
-chant or lawyer.
Iut the work of the manager is simply
l.uc. In every great newspaper Office
&C. managing editor, the city editor, and
t.. night editor have work so hard and
.t very rapidly. It's n standing maxim
~ l.UvnalIsm that q Herald night editor
.,,- SIX months. The managing editors
..t little longer. The city editor of the
I.a.pJ sun frequently eats breakfast Mt
o'clock IN the afternoon after his work IS
,l.rs.y completed for the day.
John G.. Eeid's retirement from the
managing cditOrshIp OF the Recorder was
-sei by his broken health. He was for
rrlr~ managing editor of the Times, left it
trsls health. went 10 Paris, London. and
tlfrun for relief, venturcd back 20
New York. and stood il for little over a
mouth. He is not an old man, but looks a
t..,l. oue with his bent head. stopping

vf.a place Of responsibility in which as

worked 10 her desk from 9 O'clock in the

.rss f.r snatching food, not for one
