We don't know what sort of hokus-
pocus feeling the editor has toward us
that he charges us with being respon-
sible for anything that inadv ertently
happens to disappear from his desk.
When this happens he always shakes
his old, bald head at us in such furi-
Gus manner that we can hear the rat
tie of the movements in his head.
His desk is conglomeratiron of
everything imaginable, and looks like
an express car after being rifled by
novices. OF course this condition in
dicates intellectual ability of high
order; but it seems that when any
thing valuable is placed upon it, it is
just like dropping nickle in a slot
machine. The only things which we
are guilty of taking is wedding cake,
invitation tickets to banquets and
dances, and the best cigars. He being
we'll advanced in years, the cake would
be quite injurious to his teeth, and a
toothless editor would be horrible
thing to contemplate. Ye Gods! Just
think what an existence ours would be
as society editor with toothless editor
in chief. We shall continue as hereto
fore. and pass over to him nothing but
tracts and invitations to religious con-
ferences, even though he does shake
that bald head of his.
