ONE WAY TO RUN
. A NEWSPAPER.
On the "Atchison Globe" Every One
Hunts News and Ads, While
Editor Howe Writes
Witticisms.

Arcu1soN, Kan., July s.-The Afchison
Duilu Ghbe, edited by L. W. Howe, who
wears ago wrote two or three widely read
novels. does things differently from most
newspapers.
Howe is an aggressive chap who has
made lot OF enemies. He says that about
every five years he accumu!ates enough
of them who get mad enough to start
rival newspaper for the purpose OF running
him out of town, but these have all died.
One of Howe's pet diversions is the metro
politan system Of getting news On the
Globs the Howe system is in effect, and has
been for twenty-seven years.
Atchison is a sleepy sort of town, one in
which something happens promptly about
every two years. The marvel Of it, there
fore, is that the dic be is as bright and newsy
as it is. Most Of the news is Of routine
character, telling of the comings and goings
of folks, the improvements at John Jones's
place. the marriage Of Lysander Appleton's
daughter, the doings Of the Dorcas Society,
and similar thrilling events that convulse
country communities. Speaking OF his
system, Howe says:
Every new man on the Gkbc objects
to the papers system. The head man
In the Globe office-who, by the way, is
woman-doesn't keep a little book out OF
which assignments are made. The Glc6e
plan Is to send its reporters all over the town
and vicinity without instructions other
than to hunt for the news. They are ex-
pected to return every hour or two and
hand in their copy, which is sifted and re-
jected or accepted by the managing editor,
the Young woman referred to-
Certain reporters have certain territory,
but all of them are free to work In the Big
Field-the field where the best items origi-
nate which Is Commercial street. That
is where strangers may be seen and their
business inquired into, where farmers
from all sections may be seen, and farmers
always have news. There's whore the
business men are, and they can be rounded
up easily.
aWhen two men take a contract to do a
lob they stand around and hire men to do
the work. At the Globe Office the con-
tractors work. In most newspaper Offices
the head men sit around and the young
reporters 20 out and find the news. In
the Globe office it is the head men who do
the leg work. because head man can
write a better item than young reporter;
he can get nearer the source Of news; many
men will talk to head man who will not
talk with young reporter
Another peculiar thing about the Globe
offios is that it has no advertising solicitor.
The reporters, including the editor, solicit
advertising, ard the proprietor and editor
and advertising manager are reporters.
The truth probably Is that most sub
scribers to the Globe take it for the plee.'ure
of reading Howes column Of Globe Sights
Every day there is half column OF keen
and witty paragraphs. Here are some
taken at random:

WHAT WHISKEY COSTS

Cure the Drink Habit with 0rrins and
Save Money.

Whiskey drinking does not pay. Take
the lowest possible view, without count
ing the loss of friends, the loss of bust
ness, the loss Of manhood that comes to
the d%runkard; consider simply the &C
tual money paid out, and see what it
costs in d liars and cents. Good author

bar. How much arc YOU contributing?
Figure up for Il month how much You
take from your wife and children and

Use Orriue, the only guaranteed cure for

recovered himself finely with a his
run of twenty balls follow ed shorty
by a run of fourteen. Ralph tied the
