The editor of a rural newspap-
er was in Philadelphia during
the week following the shooting
of President Mckinley and noted
with surprise the promptness of
the newspapers to bulletin board
the hourly reports of the presi-
dents condition. He determined
to adopt the idea on all impor-
tant events when he returned
home. Soon afterwards he was
told that Deacon Jones was seri-
ously i'll. The deacon was a per-
son of some distinction in the
community, so the editor posted
a series of bulletins as follows:
1000 a. m.-Deacon Jones no
better.
11:00 a. m.-Deacon Jones has a
relapse.
1890 p. m.-Deacon Jones weak
er. Pulse failing.
LOO p. m.-Deacon Jones has a
slight rally.
2:15 p. m.-Deacon Jones' family
has been summoned.
$40 p. m.-Deacon Jones has
died and gone to heaven.
