(Some Remarks on the General Sub- ject Of Journalis9l-)
 Kurnel Wilson last mite he Breethed a Si of Releef an he sez Thank God I'm out of it Agin." He was doin what's called Apostrofizin' tn Noos- paper Perfeshun. Tn Kurnel he seZ at tn Newspaper Bizness aint like tn Meezles, which when you have 'em wunst you don't haf to fear 'em no more. They aint no way to git In- nockylated agin Jurnleisum. If you ever git it your Systum always after wards is what tn doctors call Sussep- tib!e But tn Kurnel he sez at he thinks he's all Rite now. He sez at a Ten Thousand Dollar Vacksinashun ort to take some.
 Kurnel Wilson he sez at they ort to be a law to make Newspapers hang up Teller Cards like Small Palks Sines sos to Check tn Spred of tn Infeck- shun.
 <urnel Wilson he didn't never intend to be a Jurnleist an he didn't want to be none. He sez at every attack he's had has been Cashule. so to Speek He'd be goin' along by tn Noosepaper Field an as soon as he heerd tn Band playin' he cuddent resist tn Impulse to go in an see what was agoin' on. They was sich a Vriety of things to look at at he kept on till when he pulled out his Watch to see what time 1t was he was so fur fun tn Entrance Gait at he could hardly find his way back. When he got to tn Gait he found at they was Pecooliarty at he hadn't Notised before. They was an- uther Box Offs on tn Inside He sez at tn Noosepaper Sirkus is tn only wun known to silence at has Entrance an Eggsit fees both.
 He sez at he Notised also at when a man makes his debue into tn World agin after a Coarse in Jurnleism at wun laig is Shorter'n tn other'n or mebbe tn other laig is longer'n tn first wun. Any way he Wox with a Limp some
 But My Paw he sez at Kurnel Will son is more forchnit an most Fokes at Embarks on tn Tempeschus Moose paper See. He didn't lose nuthin' but Money. Tn other'ns they lose their Pride an Vanity. There is tn felIe- at throws his soul into Jurnleisum an loses it. He thinks at tn same God what teeches tn Sparrow how to Bid Nest give him a Noosepaper in- stinct. He's tn man at knows jist how Noosepaper should be Run an when he gifts through he's worser off'n r tn Air. He aint got even no Instinct left.
 They aint nobody ats got a perma- nent KnOllidge how to run a Moose paper. If wun's a good Noosepaper- man he knows how to run it while he's Runnin' it but that's jist fer today Hes got to learn it all over agin To- morrow, fer they aint no two days alike. They's something funny about Noosepaper Knollidge. They's always only jist enuff of it to last fer tn Time Bein' man can't carry it around with him. He never takes it into tn Offs and he can't carry none out with him al mite. It's tn most Elusif Knoll idge at any man ever tride to Learn.
 Kurnel Wilson he wasn't None of these here Buttin-in an Instinctif kind of Jurnleists, but he knows more 'an any of 'em does. He's goin' to git up a book. My Paw sez, which will be l called tn Shorter Kattykisum of Jur- | nleism," in which tn first Queschun | will be, What is the Cheef End of | Jurnleism?" Tn first Anser will be. | 'Th' Cheef End of Jurnleisum is to | Pungle forever. till you can make your Sca2e Gracefle."
