Credit Lost: A bright North
Dakota boy wrote the following
composition on newspapers !:
newspapers are sheets of paper
on which stuff to read is printed.
The men look over the paper to
see if their name is in it often, and
the women use It to put on shelves
and such. Don't know how news
papers came into the world. [
don't think God does. The bible
says nothing about editors. and |
have never heard of one being in
heaven. [. think the editor is the
missing link them fellers talk
about. The first editor l ever
heard of was the fellow who wrote
up the flood. He has been here
ever since. Some editors belong
to church and some try to raise
whiskers. All of them are liars.
at least all l know, and I only
know one. Editors never die. At
least | never saw a dead one.
Some times paper dies and then
the people are glad, but someone
starts it up again. Editors never
went to school because editors
never got licked. Our paper is
mighty poor one but we take it so
ma can put it onto shelves. Our
editor don't amount to much, but
pa says he had a poor chance
when he was boy. He goes
without underclothes in the winter
and he has no socks in the sum-
mer-and has a wife to support
him. Pa hasn't paid his sub

The Fairgrounds Origin.

Mr.. Frederick L. Moore. who has attrib-
uted the origin of the Fairgrounds in Wash
fngton to movement at the Neighborhood
Home 456 n street, has received note
from Mr.. Charles Moore, former clerk OF
the Senate District committee, who says:
1T is my impression that the Hrst play
ground established in Washington was on
the space above K street tunnel; that the
suggestion came from Col. Bingham, who
expended some part of his appropriation in
putting the grounds in order. Afterward
the District put in the cash and did some
paving, all with the understanding that
Senator Mcmillan would, at his own ex-
pense put in a foot ball field and diamond
for base ball. This he did, and for several
years thereafter withstood the people in
the neighborhood, who demonstrated
against having a playground made there,
because the boys broke the windows
During the last two years l was in
Washington l heard no complaint. L think
Senator Mcmillan should have the credit
for originating the Washington play
grounds"
