This drop and others of similar nature
filled Mr.. Reid's cup to overlooking, and
he soon resigned.
Meanwhile the constant drain upon Mr.
Dukes bank account made him seek TO
end the matter, and at one time il was a
question whether the Recorder would not
suspend. But in September, George W.
Turner, the man who, with Colonel John
CockerIl. made the World for Joseph
Pulitzer. secured control of the newspa-
per and took absolute command. For a
few months it was sink or swim, but Mr..
Turner pulled through, and now no news

has developed into one of the best man.

of the most affable of men, and suits Mr..
Turner TO dot.
But as to the Autographs. Messrs. Duke
and Knapp retired from the field of jour-
nalism badly wounded. but the gold circu-
lation of the former rapidly healed the
scars. Shortly afterward the order of the
tobacco trust was rescinded, the rebates
were taken from dealers, and manufacture
ers again flooded the cities and towns
with gay pictures. That is why the
pictures Of the puppies can now be seen in
stations and tobacco stores, and other
pictures of a similar nature. CLAUDE.

Partner Knapp thought this a great
feature If the Recorder, second only to his
pictures. He pointed with pride to this
page; 1t was his hobby and his pet, Part
ner Duke allowed il TO exist, that Is all.
But veteran Mr.. Reid struck a snag the
first day he took his desk. II embitIered
ms soul, this encroachment on ueNspa per
methods. and before lie had been in the
office twelve hours he ordered the night
editor to throw out some of that slush
and print news" The next day there was
trouble and Mr.. Reid was informed that
the woman's page must be considered
sacred.
About this time the murder of sold
Shakespeare" occurred. 1t was one of the
most sensational crimes ever recorded in
the metro polls and was thought for few
days to have been done by Jack the Rip
per. The Recorder had a fair story of the
murder, three or four columns in all. The
next morning as Mr.. Reid was entering

KNAPP with u am surprised. Mr.. Reid,

Around this picture of the puppies and

newspaper-a story of the meteorc flight

Early in the year 1891 the American To-

the directors was to abolish all forms OF

North Beach stopped working shortly
after p. NJ. yesterday. The cause was
one OF the worst cases of stranded cable
ever known here. A loose strand had
caught in the depressor on the steep grade
at the corner of Mason and Union streets

yards and yards. Jumping it up in places

an actual fact. But in spite of it all. in
spite of the advertisements on IL" rail-
road platforms. on barns and housesides,
advertisements the like of which New York
never before had seen, the Recorder failed
to pay, and Millionaire Duke had to write
checks as fast as Mr.. Knapp turned out
chromOs.
Early one morning the news editor
wished some advice regarding "A certain
item, and learning that Mr.. Duke was in
the building he sought him. finding the
wealthy publisher and tobacco merchant
at A. NJ. in the basement seated on roll
of paper, his coat off, his face covered
with dust, and he sat there alternately
looking AT the presses and piece of pine
wood which he was whiting true Yankee
fashion.
"Mr. Duke" said the editor, submitting
the matter, what shall l do about it?"

No. for a widow has IA winsomcness
no maid ever possessed. She meets a
man on his own ground, and she APP
pears to his senses in a way which is
simply irresistible to one who is not a
plumb idiot on the subject OF woman
kind.
Widows can marry easily, il they
want To, can't they?
Easy as falling off a log.
Why is that?
Because they are not afraid to do a
little of the counting themselves.
Isn't that an awful thing to say?
Truth isn't at all times pleasant.
They are not forward and eager,
are they?
Oh, no, sly and dcmure. AS l said

No; but where they fail nee the

Are husbands who succeed other

Yes; but the demand exceeds the

How is it when they have children?

Are rich widows a most pleasing

They are, indeed.
Why more than rich maids?
The widow usually has the wealth
where she can lay her own hands on
1t, without waiting for somebody to
die and leave it in reach.
Do women like to be widows?
Ask some wives who are not.
