AN UNFORTUNATE EDITOR.
Edison's Experience In Newspaper Mak-
 ing Was Not n Happy One.


 In her life story of Edison Mrs. Sarah A. Tooley relates the following con- cerning the Wizard"
 Having been successful as news seller, Edison lost no time in becoming an editor and publisher, and like Gar yison
 What need of help' He knew how types were
 set.
 He had dauntless spirit and press.
 "True, Tom Edison s press only con- sisted of disused set of type purchased for nominal sum, and his combined printing office and editorial sanctum was dilapidated luggage van, but it possessed an advantage of which even Printing House square cannot boast-it was migratory. The van converted te this novel purpose was attached to the train on the Grand Trunk railway, and appropriately enough the paper was en- titled The Grand Trunk Herald.
 "A further venture was Paul Pry, in which, if any one may be excused a pun, the editor pried into things i'll Zoo free manner, and some individuals, incensed at his fun at their expense, dipped him into the river to cool his imagination. Further disaster followed when ono day q phosphorous bottle up- set ill his laboratory and nearly set the train on fire The conductor promptly removed Edison and his apparatus, printing and chemical, to the platform at the next stopping place
 ''It was q bitter moment, of which Edison cannot think without feeling over again the sense of utter hopelessness and desolation which came upon him when he saw the train whirling off while he stood alone and forsaken among his broken goods, his ear tin gIing with brutal box which injured his hearing for life ''

THE MINISTER'S STORY.

He Takes Perilous Ride and the Groom
 Shows Appreciation.
 Rev. Dr. Britt of Omaha, who off, eiates as editor of The Veteran, dearly loves a good story and can tell one as we'll as listen to one. Dr. Britt was for years leading minister in the Metho- dist church, but resigned on account of il health. He served ill the Union ar my for four years and earned the right to wear badge of the Grand Army of the Republic, and his service in the ar my makes him peculiarly fitted for his position of editor of the Grand Army organ of the department of Nebraska
 A few days ago Dr. Britt was telling of one of his ministerial experiences. It occurred years ago in Illinois.
 On the eoldest night ill the winter of 1878 Dr. Britt retired to bed in well warmed bedehamber and prepared to sleep the sleep of the just. Just as he was dreaming of a donation party that did not eat more than it left he was aroused by q knock at the front door. When he answered the knock, man stepped into the room and shook the snow from his coat.
 .'I want you to go out near Mott's sehoolhouse and marry couple" said the stranger.
 Mott's schoolhouse was nine miles from town, and Dr. Britt naturally ob- jected to travelling that distance through a blizzard.
 "Why not wait until morning?" que- ried the doctor.
 "It can't be did, parson, , said the stranger. .sThe man has got to start for South America in the morning an wants to take wife with him. His girl has steadily refused him up till three hours ago, an as he's got to start tomorrow he wants to marry her an take her along.
 Dr. Britt had been married just long enough to appreciate the situation, and finally consented to go. He wrapped himself up as warmly as possible and took his place on the spring seat of the lumber wagon that was to convey him to tho bridal scene It was the eoldest ride he had ever experienced and re- minded him of that icy night before the
  the home of the bride to be was finally reached A few neighbors were gather ed, and as soon as the preacher was thawed out he performed the marriage ceremony.
 The next morning the bride and groom started for South America and rode to the railroad station in lumber wagon with Dr. Britt. The doctor went to the station with them, and just be- fore the train departed the groom called him to one side and thrust a sealed en- yelope into his hand
 Dr. Britt thrust the envelope into his pocket and hastened home Calling Mrs. Britt into his study, he opened the envelope to gaze upon his fee.
 The envelope contained S1 bill and 50 ceut shinplaster. ---Omaha World Herald

Hoarf!s in Rome.

The Roman barber, besides cutting

The Roman philosophers, with q scorn
OF fashions mandates still common to

which became known as the badge of

for considering these as a mark OF
