The Thrifty Editor.

Not long ago an Eastern Senator
received request from a country edi-
tor in mountainous section for a big
package of seeds. He desired a good
ly number of packages, which we're
forthwith sent to him, as it was sup
posed, for free distribution among the
farmers of his vicinity. The Senator
had been in the habit of sending out
big packages of the seeds furnished
by the Agricultural Department, to
prominent men in different localities,
who disposed of them where they
would do good.
Thus the Senator acquired knowI-
edge of a new use for the generous
gratuity of the government. 1t wasn't
long thereafter that letter came from
a rival editor in the same town. com.
