If an editor makes a mistake he
has to apologize for it, if a doctor
makes one he buries it. If the
editor makes one there is a law
suit, swearing and a smell of sui
phur, but if the doctor makes one
there is funeral, cut flowers and
a smell of varnish. The doctor can
use word a yard long without
knowing what..it means, but if the
editor uses it he has to spell it.
If the doctor goes to see another
mans wife he charges for the
visit, but if the editor goes to see
another mans wife he gets a
charge of buckshot. Any old
medical college can make a doctor
but can't make an editor.

THE Post Office Department at
Washington has issued an order to
all postmasters that they must not
give out information by telephone
to patrons of the Office or others
regarding mail in the Office for the
patrons. In other words you are
not to ring up the postmaster and
ask him if there is any mail for
you in the Office. 1t has become
an Internal nuisance to the post
master to answer from five to
forty calls day over the phone
asking if there is any mail in the
box for this, that and the other
person, and hereafter no attention
will be paid to such calls, except
in known cases of sickness or old
age of the patron. Our own wor-
thy Cowling avoids all trouble on
this score by not INDUCING in the

Many purists bewall tho prevalence
Of slang in the spoken language OF
the period. Has it never occurred
TO them that In tho vast majority OF
instances slang is relatively soft and
harmless. that Il is seldom profane,
and that what common speech has
suffered from interjections of slang
and cant phrases has been more than
counteractod by tho disuse OF hard
old Anglo Saxon swear words? Thus
the language is really tho gamer, and
