A Scotch Editor.

Alexander Russell, the famous
Scotch editor, conducted powerful
Liberal newspaper. For his strenu-
Gus advocacy Of the faith his admir-
ers in Edinburgh presented him with
$4,000 and some silver plate. "What
is your coat of arms {" asked an adj
mirer at the meeting, with one. eye
on the plate. sMy shirt sleeves" re-
sponded Russell. There was some
truth in the witticism, for when he
became editor Of The Scotsman Rus
sells salary was f70 year. His du-
ties were many. He had to read the
newspapers, select and abridge arti-
cles, review books, report meetings,
compile a news summary and write
the leading articles. After enumer-
ating these items the proprietor add
ed, "And lastly the attacks of our
political adversary will be expected
to produce your retort."

FORGOT, As USUAL.


Is po4t Caro- nat Wa1nS Males 011e
Wasted Journey.
Tie experience which befell an
absentminded young man who for
got to mail a postal intrusted to biz
care should furnish horrible warn
ing to all similarly inclined. Leav-
ing the house Of his sweetheart one
night, postal card was thrust into
his hand.
Now" said the girl, with the
usual admonitory manner character
istic Of such occasions, 1you are sure
that you will not forget to mail this
postal card? It is very important
indeed. It is a postal to my dress
maker telling her to use cluny lace
on my new buff gown instead Of va
lenciennes and to button it up the
front instead of the back. Now,
you will not forget to mail the card,
will you ?"
"No, no." said he, 81 won't; OF
course not; / never do, you know"
And, fully impressed with the i'm
portance Of his errand, he buttoned
up his coat and walked off.
But the chase for the last home
going trolley car completely drove
the sartorial epistle out of his head,
and he slept well that night, uncon-
scious of the all important amend
ment to be sent to the dressmaker
about the buff gown. It was only
when seated over his work the next
morning about II that some star
Ting remark Of the typewriter
brought back the epistle to his mind.
"Good heavens, he exclaimed,
jumping up from his chair, Il forgot
all about it, and Madeline said she
especially wanted the work done on
her gown todayp
Without waiting to dry up the
flood Of emotionalism in the breast
of the stenographer girl he dashed
out into the hall, spied the office
boys bicycle and was out on the
road. The dressmaker lived far out
in the suburbs. The careless man
determined to lose his noon lunch
hour rather than disappoint the girl
he loved best in the world and, like
mad thing on wheels, flew off.
About two blocks away from the
hard earned goal he felt in his peck
ct for the postal. It was gone! A
few minutes later he stood a trem-
bling, abject wreck before the
naughty modiste.
Miss" he began, 'sMiss L. says
she don't want the valenciennes lace
on the back of her dress, and she
wants it buttoned up the front"
81 know" said the modiste, smil-
ing sympathetically back at him.
'sShe just phoned me all about it.
She said she knew you would forget
to mail the card Philadelphia
