After his lecture before the journalistic
class at Cornell university sophomore
asked Eli Perkins when he became jour
nalist.
"Ncyer," said Eli, but do hope that
after twenty years more experience to be-
come newspaper man"
"Well, what is the difference?" asked the
sophomore
Just this, my son." said Eli "A cal
low reporter calls himself journalist.
As George Welshons says, in his first tad
pole stage. when bis head is swelled,' he is
a journalist If he finally shows great
brain and industry, and escapes the fool
killer, he may become reporter After
years of study and toll, and when his brain
is stuffed with wisdom, wit and discretion
enough to kill his own editorials and
makeup of sixteen page Sunday edi-
ton, then | say he's a newspaper man."
Then this is as high in the profession as
he can get,"
Yes, he is now at the pinnacle. BY and

editor
AN editor is a decayed newspaper man
with bunions on. his brain, chilbains on
his heart, corns in his ears. and warts and
dyspepsia on his liver. The business of
,he editor is TO sleep up town all day, and
az night he prowls around a newspaper
office, and at midnight he takes a blue
pencil and :. , estimates every bright and
readable idea That the smart reporters have
brought in during the day.
THE editor is all epithet, while the re-
porter is all proof. The editor calls man
a chicken thief and gets sued for libel,
while the reporter, kodak in hand, inter
views him while picking off the feathers in
his back yard, and the next day the thief
takes whole page advertisement to shut
up the newspaper.

The parents, particularly the mothers, of
many youths dread their hrcUmiug soldiers.
Some look upon the army a. the very last

They decline to believe the statements

posters at railway stations and elsewhere.
If youth does so far harden his heart as
to talk to the recruiting sergeant he has to
meet that functionary ut some out-of-the-

Mexico City is, in fact, a very expensive
place in which to die. A funeral costs
500 at the least. il it is at all respectable,
and in the case of Foreigners the expenses
run up into the thousands. This is especi
ally so when it is desired to take the bodies
out of the country. If the friends of the
dead are not posted all sorts of extrayagant
charges are imposed upon them, aud the
estate of Kansas millionaire named
Smith paid 5000 for expenses here.
Among the charges was one of $500 for EN-
balmiug, and heard of case yesterday in
which Mexican embalmer or doctor
charged s, 200 for preparing the body of a
Frenchman who died here for shipment.
The work was not properly done and the de
ceased could not be sent away, whereupon
one of the American newspapers published
an article as to the outrageous charge.
The doctor then brought suit against the
paper, saying it was true he had brought
in the bill for embalming as stated, but as
the body had decomDosed before he began
he was not able to preserve it and had
withdrawn the bill. Had the newspaper
not published the fact the bill would hard
ly have been Withdrawn. Everything,
however, is expensive in Mexico and he

Objections to "a Bridge Over East River.

When the plans for the Brooklyn bridge
were first presented to public consideration,
strong objections We're made to their adop
ton on the ground that better results
could be obtained from a tunnel built
under the East river The opponents OF
air and suuS nine had good deal 10 say
concerning the advGntaGes uf suhtrrrauean
transit, but they were quickly overruled
1t was even sad by some that the Brooklyn
bridge might fail down or blow over,
whereas tunnel would be perfectly
secure.-New York Sun.

THE LITTLE LASS IN PINK.

A peerless pearl of beauty,
A jewel of romancel
Who would not ride in tourney
To gain her winsome glance?
Who would not be minstrel,
The golden rhymes TO link
And sing her praise in merry lays
The little lass in PINK
So tiny are her glovelets,
So dainty are her shoon,
trow the pixies wrought them
Beneath the midnight moon:
And DER the elfin stitches
They sang, with many wink,
ave Irvine twist that none resist
The little lass in pink"
She hath witching dimple;
Now was it not sin
That when the fairies crowned her
They put the dimple I'M
The heartaches it hath given
II grieves my soul to think;
She hath no care how lovers fare
The little lass in pink.
Her smile is like dewdrop
That glistens in the morn.
Her frown-no eye hath seen it;
She never looks in scorn.
Her footsteps fall like rose leaves
Beside the fountains brink.
The gallants sigh as she goes by
The little lass in pink
After the revel's over,
When stars grow dim above,
And slumber's drowsy fingers
EuN-a kisSaI tha auaS xNa love

Your parting beakers clink:
May time tread light and never bligh

cast its vote in favor of DR.. Brooks. al
though a member of the committee ex-
pressed himself as follows to q repre-
sentative of the TELEGRAM-HERALD
"Yes, Western Michigan's standing com.
mittee has given its voice in favor of
DIR. Brooks, as bishop of Massachusetts,
considering that for Massachusetts, he
is probably the best man, but not a
member of the committee would vote
for him to be bishop, probably, in any
other diocese. / authorize you to say

Why the Bell Telephone Company Would

Why the Bell Tele phone Company Would
Like to Have Them Required.
Unusual tranquility seemed to per.
wade the council rooms last evening.
The Police and Fire Commissioners
were holding meeting for the con-
slderation of the appropriations for
both departments for the ensuing year.
Chairman Doyle, of the Committee on
Streets, said there was nothing in the
wind Of any particular importance.
The Committee on Claims and Accounts
was wading through large batch of
bills. Alderman Emmer was called
aside and questioned as to the signifi.
canoe of inc fact that Sam Il. Watson,
general agent for West Michigan of the
Bell Telephone Company, and William
Barry, another prominent official of
the same concern, had HIM ''button-
holed" in the corner of the room. The
atfable member from the seventh said
that the two gentlemen above referred
TO had been requested TO meet HIM, for
the purpose of discussing the advisiblli-
ty OF placing the telephone wires on
West Bridge-st. under ground before
the projected permanent pavement on
that street IS laid. Nearly n year ago
Mr.. Watson, for his company, asked
the city to introduce an ordinance
compelling the telephone wires to be
put under ground and seemed much
disappointed, when it was not done.
There was and is pertinent reason
for this desire on the part OF the great
monopoly, as the patent upon these in
dispensible comOditles is about to ex-
plre, which will subject them to consid-
cradle competition. If an ordinance is
passed compelling them TO put their
wires underground, and allowing no
wires 10 I've strung on poles, il Is very
patent that il would be impossible for
another company 20 do any business IN
Grand Rapids, as the Bell Company
would have the only available right of
way and would he placed in position
to exact exhorbitant rental for their IN
struments as ut present. The prospect
of securing cinch on the city OF this
kind, however, will no doubt, be frus-
trated, as the ordinance, if presented,
will allow the city to reserve the right
to revoke the franchise and take con-
troll of the righ. of way at any time.
1t is quite well understood that the
contemplated putting of the wires un-
der ground on West BrIdge-st., Is only
an initial step toward making gen.
eral movement in that direction. The
representatives of the Bell Company,
on learning the intention of the city
fathers TO protect the people they rep
resent. are not SO ANXIOUS, as formerly,
to nave the ordinance introduced and
passed, but as yet have offered no Oh
lection, living on the hopes that 1t will
be drawn up favorable 10 them.
1t is whispered that an ordinance is
now being drafted, winch will cover the
matter in an amlcable manner. and
that IT will I've introduced either next
Monday night or the meeting following.
