One OF the joys Of a newspaper life
and its joys are by no means few in mum
ber-is TO have some one rush into the
printing office as the paper is about to go
TO press, and in frenZied accents implore the
entire office from the proprietor down to
he devil not to mention the accident that
happened to him a day or two before, at
he same time offering to present the firm
with his farm-mortgages and all-if only
hat item can be suppressed. OF course
some 300 people saw the accident and
they are sure to tell as many more AZ least,
and the other papers who have or send re-
Dcrters here for the purpose of collecting
what is called news, will not scruple to ]
publish the item with elaborate variations: i
but it still seems to him as though his
nishap would remain an inviolate secret
80 long as the local journal makes no
mention of it. This same individual will
eel disappointed lion opening the week
v paper, he does not find it filled to over
lowing with similar personal incidents
with other people. Such is the
measure of consistency to be found in .
he human race!
