THE 1NFALL1BLE EDITOR.

"Lafcadio Hearn. that wonderful
writer. worked on newspapers in his
youth" said a publisher, land the
ruthless way his stories were changed,
cut and butchered was a great woe to
his heart.
In after years Hearn took a
malicious joy in collecting stories
about editors-editors and their su-
perior and omniscient way with manu-
script.
"One of his stories was of an editor
to whom a subscriber said:
4 enjoyed that poem on the three
ages of man in today's paper, Mr..
you know, though, I thought that it
was originally written the seven ages
of MANI
so it was, sir; so it was said
Editor Sheers promptly. Yes. the ex-
tract was originally written the seven
ages of man. but I had to cut it down
for lack of space
Another story concerned a weather
report. A reporter, discussing the
weather. wrote that winter still linger-
ed in the lap of spring.
The editor, as he read over the
article, called the reporter up to his
desk and told him that he would cut
out THAI sentence about winter linger-
ing in the springs lap. He said the
idea was good enough, and original.
and all that sort of thing; but it would
not do to publish II because the high
moral tone of the paper had to be
maintained in a town full of high
school girls

A three year old male buffalo,
expressed here from Hope, Ar
kansas, last Friday and left in
the stock pens for several days,
has proven quite an attraction
for many of our people, just
how such an animal came to be
in Arkansas was a mystery until
the explanation was offered that
it was the remains of Wild
West" show which had broken
up there. Our w. II. Newberry
is said to have fallen heir to the
buffalo. This particular bison is
rather understood for his age but
there can be no doubt about his
being the genuine article thous-
ands and thousands of which
roamed freely over Randall and
adjoining counties in the early
seventies"

Amarillo Small POx.

The Amarillo city physician in
his report to the council, pub
lished in the Daily Panhandle Of
Tuesday, severely scores sever
al physicians of that town for
concealing small poX cases. His
charges are serious and ought to
be investigated. That paper it
self also makes the following
comment touching the criminally
lax conditions there;
The Daily Panhandle wants
to sound a note Of warning in
connection with the small poX
cases, and urge the city authori-
ties to more rigidly enforce the
quarantine, or there will be no
stop to the small poX in our city.
The writer knows of houses
quarantined for the small pox,
where visitors go to the gate and
talk with those quarantined, and
where the children who 90 in
and out of the house, have the
freedom of the yard, and if the
disease can be spread, it will
never be completely checked by
such lax enforcement of the
quarantine rules.
