OF Course He was Known

A cocky little Irishman who wore
little pot hat and short clay pipe,
entered crowded bar-room, walked
up TO the bar, hunched the patrons
with his sharp elbows, lit his short
pipe at the cigar lighter and then
walked out without a word. The
astonished barkeeper gazed after
him in amazement and audibly won
dered who he was. The very next
morning the little Irishman walked
into the same place, thrust the pa.
irons aside with his elbows, lit his
black pipe and started out again.
The bar-keeper was speechless with
rage, but as the little man reached
the door he recovered his voice suf-
Gciently to cry out:
"Say, who are you?"
The little Irishmau turned around
and said:
you know me-"
Then he walked out. The bar
keeper said that he would lay for
the intruder the next day. At about
the same hour he reappeared, thrust
the patrons away from the cigar
lighter as usual, and lit his short
pipe. He was about to turn away
when the vigilaut barkeeper grabbed
him by the lapel of his coat.
"Say, who are you. anyway" he
demanded.
"Oh, you know me-" replied the
little Irishman.
"No, l DON'T" said the man in
the white apron. "Who are you2"
why" answered the little Irish
man, "Pm the man that comes in
here to light his poipe livery marn-

Bryan's Ravin.
JOSEPH HATToN.

The following clever parody on
Poe's celebrated poem is taken from
the Glen Falls Times:
Once upon midnight dreary, as
| pondered, weak aud weary, in a
state of August stupor on my quiet
chamber floor; while | drowsed
there, on the night air, came voice
from out the Somewhere, penetrat-
ing, silence-b breaking, shaking all
my chamber hoor-talking, talking
eyermore.
"Bryap," said l quite emphatic,
"Populist or Democratic, whether
Fate or silver miners sent thee to
my chamber floor; dost thou think
that / am daunted, at thy red flag,
ever Haunted, DER this land by silver
haunted3 Tell me truly, l implore
lis there money in it for you? Tell
me-tell me, | implore."
Bryan" said l, Ching of talking,
who through West and East art
salking-by the rhetoric that thou
lowest, Ivy the talk thou dost adore
tell this land with parties laden if
within the distant Alden which you
promise us, prosperity like silver, is
galore; will our money be more
plenty-do we work eight hours or
twenty = tell us Bryan, William
Bryan-will our hard times then be

And the Bryan never weary,

Mr.. Laboucbere S views OF journal
istic policy and responsibility have
been stated by himself very clearly
on more than one occasion. A promi-
nent newspaper complained because
Mr.. Chamberlain declined to say in
regard to a certain cause celebre
whether he had advised the defend
ant to GO into the box or not. "Why
should Mr.. Chamberlain be called
upon to break silence at the bidding
of an editor or newspaper cores
pondentT Mr.. Labouchere asked
in his pertinent way in a series OF
notable paragraphs in Truth, ga
newspaper editor is no more entitled
to demand information of this sort
than any other inhabitant of these
isles. An editor is not censor ap
pointed by the public, but censor
who appoints himself. Were silence
an admission smart editor might
make accusations right and left,
and then ell his pages with re-
joinders." Apropos Mr.. Labouchere
told story that reminds me Of my
own, which was an example OF the
wisdom of judge who advised a
certain Dean of Durham not to an
swer the criticisms Of The Times
about the income OF the deanery.
Labouchere's story gives us bit of
the classic wisdom Of Talleyrand.
His grandfather and Talleyrand
were on intimate terms. One day
Talleyrand said to Labouchere's
grandfather, 81 always had an idea
that you were possessed with Ger.
tain amount OF sense, but now / see
that was in error" "Why" asked
Labouchere's grandfather BE
cause" said Talleyrand, II observed
in newspaper this morning that
you had contradicted statement
about yourself" Upon which our
present Labouchere adds by way OF
comment, "As rule any one who
replies to a newspaper on personal
matter is an ass-especially to fact
accompanied by comment. The
editor does not like being placed in
the wrong, and he generally man.
ages to have the last word. If saw
in newspaper a statement that l
had committed murder / doubt
whether / should deny it. But if
the newspaper were to ask me
whether l could prove an alibi
most certainly should not seek to
do So" This "as rule" you OBJ
serve; but there are exceptions.
Once in a way the newspaper has to
be answered; and in modern jour
nalism it is good now and then for
an editor to be frank, and own up
that he is not infallible. 1t is diff
cult, ad nit. "You say | was hang
ed" said the indignant miner to the
Western editor; you see | am not,
and you must contradict it'll" "Can't
do that" said the Western editor,
"but we can say that the rope broke
and welcome you back to civilization
if that'll meet the case"
