HIS EDITORIAL QUICKLY READY.
New York Paper Tells Good story on
Southern Journalist.

00htHCtN
A certain editorial writer on the
STAFF of a Southern newspaper was in
clined to dilatoriness during certain
periods of conviviality, and caused
thereby much concern in the breast OF
the foreman of the composing room
just prior to the moment when the
forms must go to press. But the writ
err was a part owner of the paper and
could not well be discharged, since he
occupied the position of managing ed
itor. Many times the editorials were
late and the paper delayed in going to
press, but the delinquent writer al
ways made good after a fashion.
Finally he hit upon scheme when he
was called upon at the last moment
for copy that may, in all justice to
expediency, be called the art of gen
ius.
The hour was very late and no lead
ing editorial had gone to the compos-
ing room. In frantic haste the fore
man sent for the editorial writer, and
only after half an hour was he located
in a nearby saloon and much the
worse for his dalliance there. He
grasped the yintelligencs that hN had
afofeotteB- dis -1eadfna cctact =, ard
made his way as fast as he couta 10
his Office. Snatching piece Of copy
paper in one hand, he caught mp
copy of the New York Times with the
other, and from it clipped leading
editorial, which he pasted on the pa
per. Then he wrote:
I'VE cannot agree with the New
York Times when 1t says"
The editorial of the Times was cop
led, the paper went to press, and the
editor back to the saloon.-New York

glancing at her watch as she impa-

the track which wound down sandy
bottom and up a hill slope and lost

and then at the struggling village
houses, turning at length with sigh
of impatience and entered the bare

A flood Of crimson swept over her
face and left it pale. why, Robert!"
she exclaimed, glad light leaping
into her eyes. For an instance they

COW GIVES RED MILK.

Queer Freak Almost Ruins Pennsy-
vanla Politicians Dairy Business.
What is said to be the queerest
freak in the COW line ever known In
England or America has just been dis
covered on the dairy farm of Stanley
r. Brunges, former member of the
state legislature, near Tunkhannock,
Pa. The COW gives red milk, not a
dull, watery or milky red, but
bright, faring crimson.
The unique bovine almost proved
the destruction of Mr.. Brunges' dairy
business The milk is white when
drawn, but changes to red In the
course of few hours The customers
of the dairy began complaining Fin-
ally, many of them cut short their pat
ronage. Mr.. Brunges at his wits end,
wrote for assistance to the state vet
erinarian, Leonard Pearson A scien-
tific investigation was made, resulting
in the COW, pretty brindle, being
marked as the only one of her pc
culiar nature on record. So interest
ed are the states scientists in the
case shat the COW has been brought
from Mr.. Brunges and taken to the
University of Pennsylvania, in Phila-
delphia, for observation Mr.. Pearson
said that the COW was mystery, that
thing, and that the COW undoubtedly
would draw the attention Of scientific
men the world over.
