The Bane of the News Editors Life.


The news editor was talking about cor
respondents. "I've got some of the bright
est correspondents in the country sending
us news" said he, "but l want to remark,
when the rural correspondent gets an idea
that the rest of the world is sitting up
nights to hear the latest news from his
hamlet he can add more sorrow to the
life of news editor than any man alive.
II had correspondent once with whom
labored earnestly. l broke him from the
habit of giving every dispatch an ornate
introduction that cost more for telegraph
tolls than the essential part of the article,
but he would never give up supplementing
his specials with some comment. If IAN
esteemed fellow toWnsman' had died he
felt compelled to throw in a few words to
mitigate the sorrow of the friends. One
day there was big piece of news down
his way. A man killed his wife and his
two children, mortally wounded his moth
er-in-law and then shot himself.
'9The correspondent started the telegram
all right. He dived right into the subject
and told the story graphically, but when
he got through he couldn't stop. He knew
the family of the deceased, and felt that as
a neighbor and friend he ought to say
something at our expense to comfort them
little, SO he wound up his telegram with
these consoling words, This sad act of
the deceased was a great surprise to his
family and friends AS he had killed all
the members of his immediate family his
conduct must have surprised them, es-
pecially his wife."-lndianapolis Sentinel

OF ONE WE LOVE OR HATE.

In old Assist, Francis loved SO well
His Lady Poverty, that to his heart
He pressed her heart, nor felt the deadly
smart
From lips of frost, nor saw the fire of hell
From lurid eyes that fevered Dante's cell,
And parches souls who hating, feel her dart
He chose her, and he dwelt with her apart.
The two were one, illimined through Loves
spell;
He loved her, and she glowed, a lambert star;
He loved her, and the birds came at his call
Her frosts were pearls. her face was fair to
see,
He sang his lady's praises near and far;
He saw our world as Adam ere the fall
So Love transfigures even Poverty.

He recovered His watch.


A. P. Burbank, of Richmond, Ind,
formerly governor of Dakota territory and
brother-in-law of Oliver P. Morton, ex-
Libits gold watch to friends, a reminder
of Jesse and Frank James road agent
days.
He was one of a party of health and
pleasure seekers travelling through Texas
and Arkansas some years ago. In crossing
portion of the western wilds two open
hacks and a carriage were used. just as
they reached secluded spot on the route
they were bounced upon by Jesse James
and his gang. All were invited to s'alight
and line up'' by Jesse himself, who, with
two others, sat upon their horses. Jesse's
reputation as bad man had gone before
him, and the health seekers were not long
in obeying his command. Mr.. Burbank
was relieved of a valuable diamond, a sum
of money and his watch and chain.
After all valuables were collected Jesse
called out, Isthere man here who fought
for the Confederacy?"
One man responded that he had been a
Confederate soldier, whereupon all that
had been taken from him was returned. A
preacher in the party made his profession
known, and to him were returned his pos
sessions Jesse here Strengthened up and
remarked:
eve are gentlemen, and do not care to
rob defenceless women, and those who
fought the abolitionists, or ministers of the
gospel"
Six years later he was killed by Ford. A
number of watches were recovered, among
which was this.-Cor. Chicago Herald.

WHAT THE CHARTER SAYS.
Section els: provided further that the

water commissioners shall not exceed one
hundred dollars per annum." Approved
May IL, 1887.
When men desire an Office to the extent
manifested in this case, it is not fair to sup
pose they will render the service required
for the compensation regulated by the
charter? CITIZEN.
In looking over copy of your last issue
L noticed mention of a chance Frieseke
Bros. had of disposing of the stock of
brick in their yard. l will say there is
nothing of greater Importance to mechanics
and laboring men of this city than their far
sightedness in holding their stock for home
improvements i'm early spring, for at this
time it gives persons who contemplate
building a chance to begin much sooner,
and relieves many poor men who have
not earned much for several months and
gives work which they otherwise would not
have had as soon as this. l will add they
deserve the success which such men always
have. V. M. WHITE.
''wATCHNfAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT?"
Where was the night watch? Thursday
morning about three o'clock, we were
startled by great light shining through our
windows. There was great column of
flame lighting up that portion of the city.
We watched that fire for long time-very
long it seemed to us--waiting and wonder
ing why no alarm was given, wondering
where was the night watch. Meantime
every moment the flame was increasing in
volume, mounting higher and higher.
Finally the great whistle at the pumping
house sent forth its notes of warning and
in very short time the water was pouring
into the building and in one minute the fire
was under control and ceased its work of
destruction. Many persons in various parts
of the city saw the flames plainly and were
asking in the morning, why was that illumi-
nation right in the heart of the city permit
ted to go on for a nalf hour, more or less, and
no one know It, And SO this article ends
