The girl Immediately became
greatly interested in the prize cat

questions relative to their breed

One evening, just at dusk, as
the girl was standing on the
veranda of the farmhouse, talk

a low, mrurnful note of a COW.

pure innocent editor know any

He'll take care of the editors.
Don't worry about the editor.
He'll get the paper out somehow,
and stand up for you when you
run for Office, and lie about your
pigeon-toed daughters tacky
wedding, and blow about your
big-footed sons when they get a
four dollar a week job, and weep
over your shriveled soul when it
is released from your grasping
body and smile at your giddy
wife's second marriage. He'll
get along. The Lord only knows
how-but the editor will get

The Editor and the Money.

News. An exchange in a near
by town replied, what an exag-
geration, what a whopper! It
has been disproved a thousand
times, it is a case of fairy fancy.
1t doesen't take money to run a
newspaper, it can be run with
out money. It is a charitable
institution, a begging concern, a
highway robber. The newspa-
per is a child of the air, a Great
ure of dream. It could go on
and on when another concern
would be in the hands of a re-
ceiver and wound up with cob
webs in the window. It takes
wind to run newspaper; it TAX
es gall to run a newspaper. 1t
takes a scintillating, acrobatic
inauguration and a half dozen
white shirts and railroad pass
to run newspaper. But money
who ever needed money in con-
Quoting a newspaper? Kind
words are the. medium of ex-
change that do the business for
the editor-kind words and
church societies. tickets. When
you see an editor with money,
watch him. He'll be paying his
bills and disgracing his profess
sion. Never give money to an
editor, Make him trade it out.
He likes to swap. Cordwood, cab
bage, eyewater, corn salve, old
buds, and scrap iron are all USE
full to him. Then when you die,
after having stood around for
years and sneered at the editor
and his Jim Grow paper, be sure
and have your wife send in for
three extra copies by one of your
weeping children, and when she
reads the generous touching
notice about you, forewarn her
to not neglect to send the fifteen
cents to the editor. 1t would
overwhelm him.
Money is a corrupt thing.
The editor knows it and what he
wants is your heartfelt thanks.
Then he can thank the printers
and they can thank the grocers.
Send your job work to some
cheap institution in the east,
and then come and ask for a free
puff every time the baby cuts a
tooth. Hold the editor and his
paper responsible for your town
being dead, and exonerate your
self. Get your lodge stationary
