LINES TO ROACH
Across my level desk he trips,
And scorns my mild reproach,
And from the paste cup boldly sips,
My little friend the roach.
It's gender, faith know not well,
But know it likes to poach
With airy grace of dandy swell,
My liver-colored roach.
At times, I note. its Iimpid eyes
Upon my Thoughts encroach,
And then try to pulverize
My brunette friend, the roach.
In vain-1cross my desk he II run
When softly l approach,
The little. shiny son-of-a-gun.
My quadroon friend, the roach,
sikes-How'de ye like Their chrysanthemum
show?
Dikes-It was yaller.

The most bepufcd journalist in the
United States is James Gordon Bennett The
idea has obtained among laymen who know
nothi of journalism that the young Ben
nett is great newspaper man. What is his
record? His father died ana left him the
most valuable aId magnificent newspaper
property in the United States How has
James Gordon Bennett handled his trust?
From being the leading newspaper i'll New
York, under the mana Iem3nt of the elder
Bennett, it soon sank to second place beside
the Tribune, under the fostering care of
James Then camc in a revival OF the sun
under charge a genuine master of his pro-
fession, Charles A Dana, and the Her
aid took third place as a readable
interesting, ably edited paper This condi-
ton continued for number of years, until
even the Times forged ahead of the Herald,
and the Herald retired to fourth place in the
estimation of the public. Then Pulitzer
with his new. Tejuvenated World came into
the ring, and the Herald took fifth place in
journalistic circles, prominent only for it's
foreign news, which il continues 10 make a

the prestige given it by the elder Bennett,
continued to make more money than any
other one New YORK publication. 1t had the
age and brilliant record behind il. Now,
with all these advantages, it would seem that
where the New York Herald has made one
dollar it should have earned two. But under
young Benefits management it has for
the past fifteen years been eclipsed as
a newspaper in every sense of the
word by no less than four other journals
published i'll the same city. The Herald has
made money. SO can a quartz mill make
money. SO can a soap factory. So can
brick yard. But as clean, readable, enter
prising, newsy, popular paper, the New York
Herald is still several laps behind its name
sake in Chicago. James Gordon Bennett
has doubtless, TO the best of his ability, given
New York a newspaper. But, lacking the
true journalistic instinct he has fallen far
short of the ideal American morning jour
