Importance of the Exchange Reader.

The man who reads the exchanges is
a very important man, and, let me say,
too, he is a pretty highly paid man. He
has to read, we viii say. 5000 papers
regularly. All the newspapers in the
country come into the office, and he does
not do anything else. He sits at his desk
all day, and u pile of new spapers. or,
say, a cord Of newspapers. is laid before
him every morning. He starts to work
and turns them over and over TO see
what Is IN them. He has to know what
1t Is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What ia tho in
teresting story? 1t requires Judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience aS well rs talent. 1t also re-
quircs a sense of humor, because there
are great many things that are really
important that may not seem so at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that. He must
always be on hand and spend a great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day task. It is hard duty. but he has
lots of amusement, and. rs said. he is
very well paid SO ho is happy Charles

The acreage of the latter is consid-

A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story Of General Jackson's Cotton Bale
Breast.vorI.s a Pleasing Fiction.

The story 81 & eseeE-2i ! ack son's Cotton Bale
Breastvori.s Pleasing Fiction.
There arc few Of the schoolboys Of
several generations preceding the pres
ent who do rot remember being taught
that General Jackson won the battle Of
New Orleans by throwing up breast
work Of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them.
a dramatic sccount Of this was in all
the school histories and several others.
and the novelty Of the affair appealed
wildly to the imagination. The old
facts Of later history prove this all u
have been fiction. Henry Adams, in his
history of Madison s administration, de-
scribes the battle Of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature. McMaster,
in his latest volume, refers to the story
in note only TO say that there We're two
or three cotton bales used in one place,
and they were either set on fire or
knocked out nc once.
Jackson's line Of breastworks was of
earth irregularly thrown up and Of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
sharpshooters Of the west did great work
as marks1nen behind it and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat before the American line.
The schoolbook story used TO be that
the Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded McMaster places the figures
of killed and wounded at 20. The Brit
ish, it seems, We're not all repulsed nc
cording TO the popular story. The right
line of the American troops was driven
In, and the British left advanced a mile
in tho rear Of Jackson on the way to
New Orleans.
He was really flanked by this success,
but the terrific slaughter he inflicted up
on the British in the center, involving
the death Of the first and second generals
in command, completely dispirited them
and induced the return Of that wing of
their army that was ON the way to the
city.-Boston Herald.

womep.s Editions.

In speaking Of the fad of women's
editions Of newspapers, The Kingston
Freeman says: "It is remarkable that
this kind of enterprise is confined to
newspapers Why not let the Bricklay-
ers' union run big hotel one day fer
the benefit of charity? Or the West
Shore railroad might be turned over to
the Y. NJ O. A. for day. 1t would be
interesting to let the w. @. T. U. take
charge of bank for one day and show
how it ought to be run. Then there is
an opportunity for some pastor to let a
half dozen newspaper men manage his
church for a week or so, just to let peo-
pie see what they would do Another
good idea would be for matchmaker to
turn over his shop to the Horseshoers'
association. In fact. there is no limit to
these schemes. and this ought to be a
big year for charities Of all kinds.

"What do yen want, my friend7"
Lincoln asked.

the man.
"Well, . said Lincoln, 81 don't mind
being killed. but should like to know
your reasons"
81 once vowed, said the man, THAT
if I ever met a man homelier than l am

Lincoln looked critically at his assail-
ant for minute, and then said:
