RONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn-to is a bona-fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell it's legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable, and which are. in fact, re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cIuded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results. and bogus circula-
tons don't give them.
The family circulation of The Star
is many thousands in excess Of any
other Washington paper.

Colonel O'Beirne did not enlighten the
State Department as to the status of the
Boer Delegates, even if he was himself
aware of the nature &C the credentials
which it is said are carried by them. The
State Department ot,.cials, therefore, find
themselves unable to say how they shall
deal with the Beers.
1t is undeniable that there is disposition
to give them the benefit of any reasonable
doubt as to their status; that the govern
ment is not quite dete rmined that the Beers
shall not be received officially without re-
gard to the character of their credentials.

Il was at school in brooklyn when

lished with an illustration, and my cup
of joy was brimming. When l got q

some verses to Puck. which was then
edited by H c. Bunner. They were
also signed Kittie K. but We're writ

and, as | wrote a very gentlemanly
hand, Bunner evidently came to the
conclusion that l was a boy. He sent
me some very funny letters, and / re-
piled, keeping up the idea that l was
a very fresh slangy boy. He accept

Christmas number with a picture As
this was only the second poem | had
sold in my life, you can imagine how

AhIe to Hear II.

1t is well known that Joseph Medill
of the Chicago Tribune was somewhat
deaf, although his ability at times to
hear what was said in an ordinary tone
of voice was frequently remarked.
1t is related of him that he dropped
into the business department of the Of
flee one day to make an inquiry about
something that had occurred to him,
and young man who had been in his
employ only a few months undertook
in loud tone of voice to enlighten him.
what did you say?' asked Mr.. Me
dill, putting his hand to his ear.
The young man repeated the question
in a still louder voice.
Il can't hear you" said the editor.
"Oh, chase yourself AROUND the block,
you old granny" muttered the impa-
tient employee just above his breath.
II am not an old granny" said Mr..
Medill, turning away, land | shall not
chase myself around the block"
The fresh young man made imme-
date arrangements to say goodby to
his job. but the great editor probably
thought that the lesson he had received
was sufficient and did not disturb him.
