A Young lady friend asks, "How
can l. tell an editor when I see
him?" Why, bless your sweet
sparkling eyes. it is the easiest
thing in the world. You can tell
him by bis august air, by the per
feet fit OF his clothing, by his ele-
gance of his manner, and by his
profound silence when surrounded
by the common herd of promisci-
Gus society. You may recognize
him by the way he spends his
money, scattering his greenbacks
as lavishly as shavings from a
planning machine and he generally
drives some team to park and
makes things hum. He is decked
in profusion with the most expen-
sive jewelry and sports a gold
headed cane with a rose solitaire
in the center. He seldom invests
in marriage circles and is as modest
as a school girl. But the chief
point is, he always speaks the
truth and nothing but the truth.
Follow these directions and you
can not make misunderstanding
