EDITOR CHASE SPEAKS PLAIN
LY.
Newspaper Beats.
IwashIngton. D. c. Bee. /

Washington, D. c. Bee.1
It is strange that people who sub
scribe for newspapers and often
have read them for weeks and
months, and the moment the col
lector calls for the subscription he
is either told that the bill is wrong
or call again, or why did you allow
the bill TO get so high.
These beats finally conclude that
1t is easier to have their papers dis
continued than to pay an honest
subscription bill. We have another
class OF beats. The subscribers VINO
have suggestions TO make and IL
you refuse TO adopt them they want
their paper discontinued. They
have taken your paper FOR a number
of months, and they begin to find
fault with 1t the moment that the
collector presents his bill. Another
class OF beats are those whose
names seldom or never appear in
your paper. They become angry IL
their neighbors' names appear and
their names do not. This foolish
ness only obtains among colored
people. Some OF them would rather
see their names in print than TO
-ead an article IN their defense.
Now the old year, is about 20 dIsap-

Polly did not wlsh 10 awaken any

light but made the darkness visible. IL
was fearsome down here all alone In
the dark. so she hurried and pushed
the side table over into the middle OF
the room under the chandelier, with the
mIstletoe on II. and then brought a
delicate. long legged. gold painted chair,
on which she climbed tlnidly. listening
all the while for a sound.
The chandelier was high and Polly
not tall. so do her best standing on her
tiptoes, she could not reach the fixture.
IL must get up on the table" she said
20 herself, "and / hope I'll not fail ana
break my neck and rouse the house.
Just as this very courageous little
maiden stepped TO the table with one
foot. while the other was still resting
on the insecure chair. there was the
sound OF latchkey in the front door
and then n blast OF wintry wind and
two voices In the hall. They were
those OF her oldest and most unbear-

belonged 90 Archie Steadman. IL was
too much FOR Polly. IL would be awful

She tried TO step down from her IN

suddenly. striking her head against
the table. she was too frightened to
feel the hurt. for the noise was great

With his cane swinging like an In

while Archie. with his umbrella fot
