hard,' especially SO with newspaper cor
respondent. they are "cussed." No doubt We

conceit, rs we do not receive such compli-
msnts often. A very pretty and highly
esteemed young lady friend urged upon me

would like to say here, as Vox suggested

friends, would give me the little bits of news
they often get through the week, will con-
slider it quite favor, and will do my best
to run them together as to make a readable
article. Much we fhil to get without help.
