EDITOR STOREY'S NOTION.
Theory Which He RENTED n
Fine and Raised salary.

81 was slashing copy on old Storey's
Chicago Times many years ago." said
one of the guests at reunion dinner.
I'VE had correspondent in an Illinois
town who simply would not schedule
his matter, but as he generally sent
good stuff we let him run on, slashing
his stuff to suit the exigencies of the
night Besides, his stuff always sug-
gested good headlines, and that was
one Of Storey's hobbies.
"On one occasion the correspondent
sent up about 700 words which went
into 100. with nothing over. On the 100
words 1 constructed a headline which
was right up to the mark. The next
day 1 was instructed to tell the man
who made out the checks for the coun-
try correspondents to knock 50 off the
correspondents pay.
when he received his check, he
wrote to Mr.. Storey saying that under
ordinary circumstances he wouldn't
kick about the deduction, but in this
particular instance he did because the
fool headline over the item made by q
fool telegraph editor had Infatuated the
man whose name was mentioned in the
dispatch and brought on a fight be-
tween him and the correspondent, the
result of which was that the CORE
spondent was fined 50 in the police
court.
'Mr. Storey was a very just man
when you got at him the right way.
He instructed the cashier TO send the
correspondent the amount of the fine
and raised my salary because the head
line 1 wrote had caused a row. That
was his way Of encouraging a head
line writer."-New York Sun.

The Sin. of Nutrition

To overload the stomach with food is
not less unhealthy than to indulge it
with beverages. The more nutritious
the food the more hazardous are the
consequences when excess is habitual.
OF all the sins of nutrition, the immod-
crate use of meat is certainly the most
grievous. 1t gives to the body in q
form that is favorable for easy as
similation the albumen that is abso-
lutely necessary to life, and hence the
earliest effect of its excessive use must
be to surcharge the body with nutri-
ents
The chief point here Is the critical
examination of what is called hunger.
Many persons believe that any and ev-
cry sensation of hunger must be salts
fed Immediately, but this is a great
mistake. An equally great if not
worse mistake is the opinion that one
must eat until a sense of safety arises.
Excessive nutrition Injuries the mental
capabilities also. OF the particular con-
sequences of excessive nutrition, such
as hypochondria (the very name of
which refers the reader to the region Of
the abdomen and the govt, it is hard
ly necessary to speak.-Blatter Fur

A Generous Thief.

DR.. Painter is mourning the loss of
few sheks, and at the same time he
is expressing his gratitude and thanks
to some unknown who demonstrated
that he was not hog.
Tuesday evening the doctor attended
the meeting of Odd Fellows, and his
wife spent the evening with friends.
Inadvertently they left S120 in gold
and silver on mantle, forgetful of the
same until they returned home.
When they saw the coin they at once
proceeded to count it and discovered
that $50 of the amount had been taken,
10 other dollars in close proximity be-
ing left untouched.
Just why the entire amount was not
taken is attributed by some to the fact
that the purloiner was a youth and
that the amount dazzled him, causing
him to have sort of a coin fever.
The doctor returns the customary
thanks to the individual who was so
thoughtful for his welfare.-Ione Echo.

Devastating Power of Locusts.

A swarm of these insects stopped the
advance Of q Russian army. They
filled the air and blinded both officers

the men could not have obeyed them.
The horses would not face them, and
they lay on the ground many inches
thick. Every man and horse in the
army was incrusted with the insects,
and their clothing was literally eaten
off the men as they stood helpless and
blinded. The railways were useless.
