THE PRoOFREADER

Somebody writes to the editor of the
Philadelphia Inquirer to ask: What
is the required knowledge to become
proofreader? Doesn't his kind of work
call for unusually good pay?" And the
editor replies:
Your question is one of the hardest to
answer. In a given publishing house the
khoWledge which proofreader is eX-
pected TO possess is, to a certain degree,
limited by the particular class or classes
OF productions which the house brings
out, and may be acquired by a dihgent
study of the particular nomenclature and
style used in the branches in question
But to the knowledge which the proof
readers on a newspaper may be called
upon 10 display at any given moment,
there IS IT no end, for there are no
bounds to the field covered by our up-to-
GATE press; aad what makes their work
still more arduous is the rapidly with
which their knowledge must be forthcom-
ing when needed, for fhe hours spent in
securing accuracy in the ordinary pub
fishing house are but minutes in the high
pressure atmosphere of the newspaper
plant.
There is no public event, no public
mans or woman's title, no private per-
son name, no biographical, geographical
or historical reference, no scientific term
that he may not be called upon to read
which means to see. properly put in
print for the public, and this within the
shortest fraction of time, for the public
is there at the door and cannot be kept
waiting.
How to become a proofreader? Why,
peg:n by holding copy for one; your pro-
gress VIII very much depend upon the
stock of general information you will
start with, and upon the natural aptitude
you may have for the work. AS to pay, it
would be fair to conclude from the above
tnat perfect proofreader would be worth
ms weight in gold; but there never has
Deen one yet; as soon as proofreader
gets within measurable distance of per
lection he dies
The reply is both clear and accurate.
The best newspaper proofreader allows
errors to slip from under his pencil
He fails to see them while in the rush of
work, no matter how clearly he may
see the printed slip, but the next morn
ing these self-same errors stick up out
OF the paper an inch high, and the re-
suit is self-abnegation and profuse con-
demnation by others. That a thousand
errors are corrected in the course of the
night counts for nothing if two slip
through, and, like the reporter, the
proof-reader is expected to know every

AN IMPORTANT SUGGESTION.

Elsewhere in this mornings issue of
the Sunday Register appears a commu-
nication from an observant and
thoughtful citizen, outlining plan
for changing the course of Wheeling
creek that appears to have decided ele-
ments of merit, and upon that basis
should receive the thoughtful consid-
Grafton of the BOARD of Trade and gen
orally of those people who are active
and interested in the advancement Of
this community along all proper lines.
Que suggestion, however, may meet
with some opposition, and that is the
removal Of the dead who lie in the
Peninsular cemetery. Opposition to
this may be anticipated in some quar-
tiers, and in view of it the Register will
suggest that there are three precedents
in this city for such a course, the first
the removal of bodies from the first
cemetery in Wheeling, located on
North Main street, the second, the
abandonment of the second cemetery,
on the site of the present City Hail.
and the third the transformation of
the old Sixteenth street cemetery into

men are now competent to serve who
should be excluded from the grand jury
room, and the class will be readily
recognized without Decentralization
But more important than all other
things, perhaps, is the necessity for
change in the manner of selection. I'm
der the law as it stands it is possible
for two officeholders to make any Sc
lection which may suit them or their
party or their friends, and instances
are not wanting where relatives and
close personal friends of men accused
have been drawn upon grand jury
and sat in judgment upon the ques-
The substitution of a non-partisan and
-officeholding commission would
be very much better system, and
with the enlargement of the number
from which jury might be chosen
there would be reasonable probability
that some new faces would occasionally
be seen IN the grand jury room. Still
another feature requiring attention is
that permitting the Sheriff, in cases
where grand jurors drawn and sum-
moned do not attend, to impress by
ISLANDERS. That allows a Court officer
to pick and choose, and the defendant
may be unjustly arraigned and put up
on trial through one of many motives
or causes where he otherwise would
escape indictment as a matter of JUS
tice.
These are but few of the many
comments which might be made upon
the present law. The coming session
OF the Legislature could do no better
work than to reconstruct 1t.

and he got the Practice.
He was a Physician and Mel was a
Doc
If Man came into Mers Office, suf-
fering from a combination of Soft
Shelled Grabs and Neapolitan Pudding,
it would be like Mel to tell him that he
had the Stomach-Ache.
Then the dissatisfied Patient would
go across to see the Physician, who
would tell him that he had Acute Gas
tritis
Anybody would rather have Gastritis
than Stomach-Aehe, SC the Physician
had his Waiting Room Crowded all the
Time.
The Public could not pin its Faith
TO Practitioner who wore a Sack Suit
and kept his hat on the Back of his
Head and spoke to the Children along
the Street, and never used three Dou-
ble-)Jointed Words from the Materia
Medica unless he had to.
Still Doc managed to get some Prac-
uce. If any Sufferer happened to be
Broke he went to Doc. because Doc
was Coed Fellow, who could be Stood
OF. Doc got all the Charity Cases
and the Fake across the Street treated
all the Women who had Property and
Imaginary Complaints
Shortly after Doc began to Practice,
he fell in love, but no one took it SER
iously, for he was always Joking. The
Girl liked Doc because he was Enter
tanning and Liberal. up to his Income,
but when he Proposed, his Sense of
Humor prevented him from getting
down on his Knees and giving her any

She had the usual Streak of the Ro-

She gave herself to an opinionated VII
lie-Boy who was always having HIM
self Photographed in Dress Suit
and who came at her with ten-min-
ute Speech that he had learned from a
Book on How to Make Love- pub
lished by Munro g. Co.
Then because the Docs Philosophy
and his Goodness of Heart came to his
Rescue and he Forgave her and did
not Drink himself to Death or Start
for the Gold Fields with her Picture
next to his Heart, nearly every one
said that he had not Cared for her at
all and was not capable of the Grand

Passion.
After the Doc had struggled along in
his Practice for many Years without
having any Velvet in front of him. he
decided to try for a Political Appoint
ment Every one seemed to like him
and he knew he could get Backing.
He thought very well of his Drag.
Sure enough, when he applied for a
Consulate, all the influential Moguls
of the Party signed his Petition. Then
they sat down and wrote Private Let
tiers to Back-Cap him.
They told the President that he was
Good Fellow, but he lacked Dignity
and Bearing. They said that he was
commonly known as Mel or Doc. that
he had Reputation as a Story Tell
er. that he had been a Failure in his
Profession. and never accumulated any
Property, that he was Careless in his
Business Habits and loaned Money to
anyone who seemed to be in Trouble.
and that, therefore. although he had
been an Active Worker, possibly the
Appointment ought to go to some man
who had more Regard for Solemn Re-
sponsibilities
so the Job was given to a Four Flush
who posed in Public Places and Frown-
ed and kept one Hand inside of his
Coat and never said anything because
he had Nothing to say.
Even after this final Throw-Dovn
Doc did not become embittered or
cease trying to be a Good Fellow.
one Day, however, as he was review
ing his Career, he decided If he had it
to do over again, he would be NJ. Prax-
iteles Johnson and wear the Front of
Jove and refuse to be sociable.
He realized that he had Erred in re-
peating Anecdotes, lending Money and
trying TO be Mixer He wished that
he had kept his Degree printed on all
his Cards and hung an art;culated
Skeleton inside of his Office Door. AL
so he began TO realize that it is advis-
able to crowd in On the Platform at
every Public Pow-Wow and be PLAYED
up as Prominent Citizen. Further
more, he wished that he had Dressed

ROADSIDE REST

Such quiet sleep has come to them.
The springs and autumns pass.
Nor do they know if it be snow
Or daisies in the grass
All day the birches bend to hear
The rivers undertone;
Across the hush a fiuting thrush
Sings evensong alone
sound,
The winds may sob and stir
On the still breast of Peace they rest,
And they are glad of her
They ask not any gift-they mind
Not any foot that fares:

Once upon a time there was a Boy
who would not get Mad. He was will
ling to do anything TO help out Play
mate. so when the Gang went fishing
they took Him along TO carry the Bait
and when they went Swimming in the
Deep Hole, he had to stay on the Bank
and watch their Clothes.
If any of the Urchins found a Cookie
Burr and came 1. Question of
which Boy would be Held Down and
have the Burr put in his Hair, they al
ways decided in favor of Mel
His Right Name was Melford Praxi-
teles Johnson, but he grinned so much
and was so good-natured that every
body was Familiar with him and sa-
luted him as Mel. He got all the
Cockle-Burrs in. his Hair, and the
Toads Down the Back of his Neck and
the Smartweed rubbed on his Bare
Legs, because he was Good Fellow,
and the Tough Boys who went to
School with him knew that he would
not go and tell Teacher and have
them properly Lambasted.
Sometimes he would go out to the
NOhihiOAAS, NAVAS TIE DoyS were play
ing Two-Old-Cat, and they would have
him act as Backstop and chase the
Flies. Somebody had to do it, and he
was so Accommodating and Friendly
he did it rather than delay the Game
All the little bull-headed boys who
threatened to take their Bats and go
home unless they could have their own
way, played the Star Positions
When he was little older he went to
a Medical School, where he was
promptly tossed up in a Blanket and
then dropped down an Air-Shaft, be-
cause the Hazers saw that he was a
Good Fellow and would not go and
squeal to the Faculty.
Mel was Bright Student. and grad
uated at the Head of his Glass. He
Won Set of Instruments for his The
sis on Osteology of the Supernumerary
Digits, and the Dean predicted Great
Things for him.
He hung out Shingle right across
the Street from a Classmate who had
finished at the Tail End, and did not
know the Difference between the Duo
denum and the Clavicle. But this
Classmate grew Whiskers and wore a
Prince Albert and a Tall Hat and
Glasses with Gold Chain and Cough
ed into his Palm and used Latin Words,
