THE PRINTERMAN.

/
and think, and there is still the same
profit and amusement to be derived
from his unique sayings. The Amer.
can Type Founders Company has just
issued little imbrOchure on the
"Printerman." which was one OF
Fields original gems. Although of
special interest to the newspaper
man, 1t may also make those who
know him smile, too. So we print 1t:
THE PROUD MAN.
This Is the man who has had a no.
tice in the paper. How proud he is.
He is stepping higher than blind
horse. II he had wings he would fly.
Next week the paper will say the
man is measley old fraud and the
man will not step so high.
THE FOREMAN.
Who is this fer0cious looking man?
He is foreman In printing Office.
He gets paid for throwing men down
the stairs when they come up to lick
the editor, for putting wrong dates at
the head of the paper. He can pi
more type in fifteen minutes than
seven printers can set up In two
weeks. He loves to ask the editor for
copy. II it were not for him the pa
per would look pretty well every even.
ing. Everything would be fat and
none of the ads. would be left out.
THE PRooF.READER.
See the proof.reader. He has been
reading the proof OF a medical con
vention. He is swearing. He is read
ing the Bible. You cannot see thu
Bible. 1t is Tucked up in an iron bO.
in the editors room. The pr0Of.read
; or is saying something about damn
ing something. Perhaps it Is the
] creek.
THE PRINTER.
Behold the printer. He is hunting
] for a pickup OF half a line. He has
been hunting for two hours. Ht
could have set the line in twent,
seconds but II is matter OF principle
with him never tn set what he can
pick up. The printer has hard time;
has to set type all night and play pc.
dro for the beer all day. We would
like to be printer we're it not for the
, night work.
. THE EDITORS KNIFE.
!, Here we have a knife. 1t looks like
a saw but it is Il knife. 1t belongs Tn
an editor, and it is used for sharpen
ing pencils, killing reaches, opening
champagne bottles. and cutting the
hearts out OF bad men who come into
the office to whale the reporters.
There is blood on the blade of his
knife, but the editor will camly lick
it off, and then the blade will be as
clean and bright as ever.
THE EDITORS HOME.
Here is a castle. 1t is the home Of
an editor. 1t has stained glass win.
d0ws and mahogany stairways. In
front of the castle is a park. is 1t not
sweet? The lady in the park is the
editors wife. She wears a costly robe
of velvet trimmed with gold lace, and
there are pearls and rubies in her
hair. The editor sits on the front
steps smoking an Havana cigar His
little children are playing with dia.
mond marbles on 4 tesselated floor.
The editor can afford to live in style.
He gets S72 month wages.
THE BUSINESS MANAGER.
Here we have IA business manager.
He is blowing away the circulation OF
his paper. He is saying the paper
has entered upon an era Of unprece'
dented prosperity. In minute ht
will go upstairs and chide the editol
for leaving the gas burning while HI
went TO get glass OF water. and h
will dock reporter four dollars be
. cause a subscriber has licked him ant
he can not work. Little children,
we believed business managers wen
to heaven we would give up our pev
In church.
THE RADMAN
=. Here Is the man who has just stop
~ ped his paper. What a miserable
looking creature he is. He looks as
10 II he had been stealing sheep. How
will he know what has been going on
'e now that he has stopped his paper:
He will borrow his neighbours paper
One of these days lie will break his
y ley, or he a candidate for office, ant
then the paper will say nothing about
lit. That will be treating him just
right, will 1t not, little Children.
