RUNNING A NEWSPAPER

Jim Jones, he was an editor; that is, he
tried to be;
He bought himself a hand press, an he
started in to see
JeS' what there was to editin', but
when he'd canvassed round,
Some fifteen hundred editors in that
same town he found.
They all knew more about it than Jones
could hope to know;
They told him "You must run her,
Jones, jes' so an so an so!
Be sure and boom the Baptists, they're
bound to help you out,
An give the good old Methodists a big
salvation shout!
"Give every man a notice; be sure an
put it down
Whenever Major Jinks is seen to per-
ambulate the town;
Put in a few free locals for all the
stores an give
Each man a free subscription, if you
want you sheet to live!'
Well, Jones; he done jes' as they said,
for fear they'd make a row;
But the more he tried to please ,em all,
the more they told him how!
Until at last he took his book an laid
it on the shelf;
Then run the paper in the ground an
follored it himself!
