 The following remarks by Little James, culled from the Phoenix Republican, are respectfully re- ferred to the (hand) organ grinder and others:
 kurnel Wilson last nite lie Bfeethed a Sioi Rcleef an he sez Thank t'od I'm out of it Agin He was doin whats called Apostrotizin' tn NOos- paper Perieshun. Tn Kurnel he sez at th Noospaper Bizness aInt like th Needles, which when you have 'ern Wunst you don't haf to fear 'em no more They aint nO way tO git In- nockylated agin 5urnlelsum. Ii you ever git it your System always after wards is what tn doctors call Snssep- tibe But fh kurnel he sez at he thinks he's all Rite now He sez at Il Ten Thousand Dollar Nacksinashun 0rt to take some
 kurnel Wilson he sez at they ort to be law 10 make Newspapers hang ID Teller Cards like Small palks Sines so' to Check th' Spred of tn lnfeckshum.
 kurnel Wilson lie didn't never intend Go be a 1nrnleist an he didn't want to be none He sez '0t every attack he's had has been Gashule, so to Speek iled be goin' along by th N00spaper Fleld an as soon as he heerd th Band playin' he cnddent resist th Impulse to go ln an see what was ag0iu on They was sch . Nriety of things to look ai 'at he kept on till when he pulled out his Watch to see what time ii was he was so fur l'nm th' Entrance Gai4 at he could hardly find his way back. When he got to lh Gait ha found at they Mas a Pec0oiarty at he hatln f Notised before They was annther Box ofiis on 'th Inside He sez at tll Noospaper Sirkus IS th only wun known t0 slenee at has Entrance an Eggsit fees both
 He sez 'at he Notised also at when q man makes sds debue into n World agin after q Coarse in Jurnleism at Wnn laig N Shorter'n tli' 0ther'n or nehbe tli' other laig is longer'n n tE first wnn. Any WAY he Wox with limp some.
 But My Paw he sez at hnrnel Wilson IN more f0rchnit an most Fokes at Em- barks on tn Tempeschus Noosepaper See He didn't lose nuthin' but Money I'll other'ns they lose their Pride an Vanity There is tn teller at throws ms soul into Jurnleism an loses II. He ttlinhs af th same God what teeches th' Sparrow how to Bild a Nest give him q Noosepaper instinct He's th' man at knows list how Noosepaper should be Run an when nc gits through he's worser off n tn Beests of th' Feel nm, th Fouls 0i th Air He aint u0t even no Instinct let.
 They aint nobody ats got a perma- neut knolidge how to run d Noose- paper. Il Wun's q good Nposepaper- man ne knows how to run 1t while he's kunnin II but that's list fer today. 1e' got to learn it all over agin To- morrow, fer they aint no two days alike 1heys something funny about Noosepaper hnollidge. Theys always only Jlst enuif of 1t to last fer tn Time Dem \ man can carry tt around with him. He never takes it into th Oils and he can carry none out with him al mite It's th' most Elnsif Knoll ldge at any man ever tried to Learn.
 kurnel Wilson he wasn't None of these here Butiin in an Enstinctif kind oi jnrneists, but he knows more an any of 'em does. He's goin' to git up q book, My Paw sez, which will be called th Shorter Cattykisum of Jur- nleism," in which tn first Queshun will be 'sWhat is tho Cheef End of Jurnleism?" Tn first Anser will be, ~Th' Cheef End ol Jurnleism is to Fungle forever, till you can make your scape Gracehe.
