coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had give me

EDITOR VS.. DOCTOR.
How Hs Gets it. as Compared wit
an NJ. ID.

How He Gets it, as Compared with
an NJ. ID.
If an editor makes a mistake he has
to apologize for it, but if doctor makes
one he buries it, II the editor makes
one there is lawsuit, swearing and
smell of sulphur, but if the doctor makes
one there is funeral, cut flowers and
smell Of varnish. The doctor can use a
word yard long without knowing what
it means, but if the editor uses it he has
to spell it. II the doctor goes to see
another mans wife he charges for the
visit, but il the editor goes to see an
other mans wife he gets a charge Of
buckshot. ANY old medical college can
make doctor, but can't make an editor.
He has to be born. When doctor gets
drunk it's case of overcome by heat,
and il he dies it is heart trouble. When
an editor gets drunk it's a case Of too
much booze and If he dies it's delirium
tremens. yellow jacket.
Furthermore, when a doctor can't
pay his bills, he goes to church and
takes advantage Of the bankrupt law.
When an editor can't pay his bills be
goes to jail and the sheriff nails the
double cross on his printshop door.
When doctor gets married senator
stands up as best man, the bride is
given away by her father and a big feed
follows. When an editor gets married
it is generally under false pretenses, the
"devil" acts as best man, the girl has to
run away from father and home, and
sardine sandwiches and ten cents worth
of peanuts constitute the wedding sup
per. The doctors bride is at once pro-
vided with tennis court and racquets,
yacht, an automobile and a piano.
The editors bride is at once presented
with "tenas" racket minus the court,
washtub to play on, an ak and an
autoknowhow to use it. And yet the
editor and the doctor get along very
amicably in the same community. They
breathe the same air.

Rnthbone sisters.

For several years more or less efforts
have been made to organize temple of
Rathbone Sisters at Weston, but hereto
fore these attempts have invariably
"hashed in the pan," says the Leader.
Not long ago, however, Stevens Lodge
No. 40, X. of F., appointed j. H. Price
as a committee of one to see if it were
possible for "the boys'' to acquire some
charming sisters to aid in promoting
their social welfare, and Mr.. Price rest
ed not until the feat was accomplished.
Friday evening Mrs. Eliza Imbrie, Of
Hillsboro, Grand Chief for Oregon
Rathbone Sisters, instituted temple
with good-sized charter membership.
The secret work was exemplified by the
team from Herculean Temple No, 27, at
Milton. After the ceremony refresh
ments were served.

PAID BANDIT TO DEPART.


Enrique Mesa, the notorious Cuban
bandlt, worthy successor of Manuel
Garcia and as desperate as the late
outlaw, Harry Tracy, has left Cuba

Santiago. was also thorn in the
side of the I sal guard. Like Tracy,
he was god shot; he was brave
and fearless and a most dangerous
enemy.
1t is even said that the officers and
men of the rural guard feared him.
At any rate Mesa killed and robbed
and looted without apprehension by
the rural guard, which is a mounted
military police organization. Mesa
was an officer on this force until he
killed newspaper man with whom
he had dispute over politics. Then
he took to the woods and became a
professional bandit. He surrendered
himself, with a half dozen of the
worst characters in Santiago pro-
vince. Raids were made on many
small towns and the stores sacked by
this gang. The people were afraid to
resist, and the police, too, appeared
anxious to avoid conflict with
the outlaws. In fact, Mesa threat
ened to kill on sight Capt. Betan-
court, of the rural guard, if the lat
ter dared to pursue him.
There are many idle men in that
portion of the country where the
~bad man. operated, and his follow
ers increased until they numbered 40.
The people finally got together and
informed the government that they
would pay Mesa $500 if he would
leave the country. The authorities
agreed to this, and Mesa was waited
on with the proposition.
