Can't Suit Everyone.

The printing press has made presi-
dents, killed poets, furnished bustles
for beautiful women, run down horse
thieves, transformed towns into cities,
built schools and colleges, educated
the minds of those who would other
wise have been ignorant and drones in
society, punished genius with criti-
cism; it has curtained the power of
kings, converted paupers into bank
ers, and graced pantry shelves, says
one of our exchanges. 1t has made
paupers out of college presidents; it
has educated the homeless and robbed
the philosopher of his reason; it smiles
and turns its toes to the daises, but it
cannot be run to suit everybody and
the man who tries it will find himself
in a lunatic asylum.
