This thing Of newspaper women
getting married seems to have
become quite fad. Notices OF such
sad events are brought before me
with great frequency of late. What
in the world hustling editor
woman wants with husband I
can't imagine unless it be to pull
the old hand press and chase the
can. Apropos, l find the following
in an exchange;
"The lady editor of a Western
newspaper got married a short
time since, and used the fact as an
excuse for only issuing half sheet
that week. She promised that some
future issue would explain matters"
1t is to be hoped that the expla-
nation did not go too deep into
details. There are some things too
sacred to be revealed to q rude
public.--Gatling Gun.
