says it can be done, and Gouger is the
best authority in the whole world l
suppose you will admit that?
Fenderson-Oh, of course! If Gouger
says it can be done, l have nothing more
TO say.
Figg (after Fentherson's departure)-
Who is this Gouger and is he such an
authority upon the matter?
Fogg-Never heard Of him in my life
Don't know there is such a person.
Probably there isn't. If there is, don't

Importance of the Exchange Reader.

Importance OF the Exchange Reader.
The man who reads the exchanges is
4 very important man, and, let me say,
too, he is pretty highly paid man. He
has to read, we will 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 a pile of newspapers, 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
it is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
seresting story? 1t requires Judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience as well as talent. 1t also re-
quires 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 great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day S task. 1t is hard duty, but he has
lots of amusement, and, as said, he is
very well paid So he is happy. Charles
