HOW IT is DONE.
All through the night the printer man
Picks the metal with fingers deft;
Dumps on the galley and fills his ''pan,"
Lays for phat'' and never gets left.
stSOrtadi' his case nd neatly "lal0'.
And thus the morning papers made.
Out III the night with nose for news,
The smooth reporter scurries around,
Gets ''story'' he thinks he can use,
Ano works tip that he earlier found;
Takes drink for which somebody paid"
And thus the morning papers made.
Over his desk from until2
p m. and a. IN. linked in one,
The city editor wadeth through
Copy from each respective run"
Till the hieroglyphics fairly fade,
And thus the morning par er's made.
Right in front of pneumatic tubes,
Slashing copy and weighed with cares:
Forced to listen to bray of ''Reubs,"
The good night editor works and swears,
Yet never ratified nor once dismayed;
And thus the morning papers made.
Under the fierce electric glare
The telegraph editor maketh hum
News from Egypt and everywhere,
Praying that ''30'' soon will come.
Soothed by hope, by piety stayed;
And thus the morning papers made.

On silken, arabesque divan.
Planning way for human souls
To all be saved by syndicate plan,
Or lying about the balance of trade;
And thus the morning papers made.

Kelly's kicking and Anson's soueals;
Fancy shots by Schaeferessayed-
And thus the morning papers made.
The fair society "editress'' comes
Fresh from bail, or rout, leyee;
Grand receptions, kettle drums,
Halls resonant with leyity.
Spices column with thoughts new laid
And thus the morning papers made.
Down in the press room, oily. dim,
Phantom forms are fitting around
Giant presses, ponderous. grim,
Crushing pilates" with thundrous sound.
Not moment these presses can be delayed,
And thus the morning papers made.
Out on the street ere comes the sun.
Newsboys hustle, and newsboys cry;
Hither, thither, they swiftly run.
Saving the work of hours gone by.
They are the heroes, valiant. bold
For thus the morning papers sold.
