He naturally supposed that that set

problem: why am / so Internally
sleepy when I'm on duty, whereas. OF
my nights off, can sit up till three
o'clock and never wink an eyelash?"
He never solved it. Business was not
very brisk there, in the evenings, anc
he used to get a large quantity of re
freshing slumber. He had high stoo
which he tilted back against the wall
and he became very expert in counter
feiting wakefulness by the position
which he assumed when he went tc
sleep.
One night he was awakened from &
particularly pleasant dream by the
sound of sharp rap on the counter
He had schooled himself not to start
up hurriedly at such summons, and
thus betray the fact that he had beer
asleep. This time he opened his eyes
slowly and beheld the tobacconist

The tobacconist tried TO look severe
but he failed. There was a peculiar
tendency to laughter which was visible

Theodore got off the stool and stag

more than half awake even then

clared that they were all thieves aud op-
pressors of the people. This afternoon he
was discovered in court, with IA lot of
brown stuff that looked like smokeless
gunpowder. He seemed to be making a
fuse, and when asked what he was doing,
muttered:
Il am after justice, and / am going to
have it, IL have 10 blow this building up

An officer seized him. but be struggled

he looked he could see nothing but the
jack, queen, king and ace OF spades
| and the deuce Of hearts. Partly on
this account. and partly because some
papers had been piled around the ink
bottle. the editor did not notice that
it had risen from its grave to haunt
him. He had been in his Office only
about five minutes when Mr.. Softmark,
the donor of the bottle, entered.
; Instantly the editor was in cold
sweat. He rendered the tragedy OF
the previous day, and began to wonder
how he should account for the disap-
pearance of the ink bottle. Mr.. Soft
mark did not see it. because the pa
pers hid it. and he asked at once, in an
aggrieved tone, what had become of it.
THAT internal rascal, Jimmie, the
Office boy, broke it," said the editor.
81 never felt 80 badly in my life. He's
the most careless rascal that ever
lived. He was filing it yesterday
morning, and was standing right
over him in order to be sure that he
did it carefully, when he let it slip into
the bowl and it smashed into ten
thousand pieces. Twas wild with rage.
Of course discharged the boy, but in
the afternoon his mother came here,
and. falling on her knees, begged me
to take him back. I yielded to her en-
trea ties. But l can't bear to look at
the boy. He reminds me of my loss."
The editors voice shook with emo
ton. He wiped tear from his eye.
In order to disguise his feelings he
gathered up the papers on his desk and
began to look through his mail.
why, what in blazes have You been
giving me?" exclaimed Mr.. Softmark.
'There's the ink bottle now!'
The editor saw it. For single in
slant it seemed to leer at him and then
it slowly toppled over and deluged the
desk
"Whatl roared the editor. in voice
like fifty mad bulls. THAT blankety
blank thing back here again.
He seized it with deadly grip; bore
it to the window, which he flung wide
open, and then hurled it with unerring
aim. A faint tinkling came up from
the bottom of the little paved court.
Friendship ceases right here" said
Mr. Softmarl1, jamming his hat on his
head and hurrying out of the office.
The moral of the story is clearly
this: A man who wishes to be good
liar must never lose his temper. This
is hard. saying and may discourage
many; but the story which the editor
told afterwards should give them hope
1t appeared from this tale that the
advertising solicitor began his business
career in very humble capacity. He
was clerk to tobacconist who had

two clerks and they took turns tend

| ~~'~~
the consideration to which you
allude''
The advertising solicitor took up the
| theme.
"Truthfulness," he began; but the
editor interrupted him with loud,
| hysterical laugh.
''It made me smile.' said the editor,
presently, in graceful apology, Just
to hear you speak the word"
This brought forth a sharp ejoinder,
and turned the conversation to the
general subject of liars. In illustra--
ton of this theme the advertising man
told a story about the editor, and then
the editor told one on the solicitor
The episode of the Editors Ink Bot
tie ran thus:
One of the editors most valued
friendS-a man who almost always
has money to lend-presented the ink
bottle to the editor as a token of
esteem. 1t was highly ornamental
affair, and sported brass plate bear
ing an engraved sentiment which
spoke more loudly of the charity of
the donor than would the gift Nself
even if he had flied it with the re-
cipient's l. o. US instead of ink The
plate spoke Of the editor as fearless
champion of the truth, and would have
said more but the brass gave out.
THE subject was really worth two
columns" the editor, would often say.
In professional phrase. but it had to
be cut to fit the space"
will not vouch for the accuracy of
this quotation, but the advertising
man was ready to swear to it.
The brass plate was a rather heavy
load for an ink bottle of that size
The bottle would carry it bravely for
day or two, perhaps, and then it would
topple over, and lie down, and practi-
cally confess its inability to support
such a statement as that which was en-
graved on the plate. 1t always knew
when to fall over. and in what direc-
ton. Whenever the fearless champion
of the truth had turned out something
particularly good in the line of his
business, the ink-bottle would faint
away again, and it's contents would
pour forth upon the nice fresh copy"
Perhaps the article would be twenty
pages long. and each page would oc-
cupy different section of the desk.
but that ink-bottle wouldn't miss one
of them. At such times the force and
auency of the EDITORS language would
surprise even those who knew his
powers best, including the Office boy,
