the friend "your wiie's hair is dark

This made Ticker a trifie angry,
and he exclaimed excitedly: i tell

"Oh, l thought perhaps there

Sharp Practice.

Land values increase so rapidly in
New York that it is easy to mort
gage such property pretty well up to
the selling value, and this fact has
opened the way to an ingenious meth
od of something very like swindling.
A, representing himself as the agent
of B, purchases desirable vacant land
for say $4,000, and before papers
pass, B sells the same to A at 1926
600. B then, upon the strength of
this transaction, obta MS mortgage
of 100000 upon the property. OF
course A and B are in collision, and
the original purchaser really repre-
scented both, while the second trans
action was solely for the purpose oil
establishing a price upon hich the
mortgage could be obtained.-N. Y.

Whit Editing a Paper Is

A contemporary gives his exper-
fence Of editing a paper in the fo,-
lowing paragraphs:
Editing paper is a good business
If you like it.
If it con'ans much political mat
ter people won't have it.
If the type is large it doesn oon-
tain much reading matter.
1.-THE type is small it hurts folks
eyes.
If we publish telegraphic reports
folks say they are nothing but lies.
L we omit them, we b We 20 en-
terprise or suppress them for politi-
cal effect.
If we write many editorials, they
say we are conceited ard want 10 air
our opinions.
If we give way to her writer's
and news items, we are ignorant and
can't run paper.
If we have few jokes, f,lks say
we are rattle heads.
If we omit jokes, folks say we are
nothing but fossils
II we publish original matter, they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we give selections, people say
we are lazy for not writing more
and giving them what they had not
read in some other paper.
If we give complimentary notice
we are censured for being partial.
If we don't, both hands say we are
a great hog.
If we insert an article which pl, as
es the ladies, the men become uice
Uersa.
If we attend church they say i is
for effect.
If we remain in our Office attend
ing to our business. folks say we
are too proud to mingle with other
fellows.

tend to our business.
If we ask for dues they get mad
