In the history of newspaperdom oc-
CURED when the LeafChronicle was
issued by the use of a grindstone.
The electric wires furnishing power
for operating a motor which was used
to run the linotype machines were cut
out on account of the burning Of a
building next door, and things looked
exceedingly blue for the issuance of
paper unless hand composition was
resorted to. Then 1t was that Amer.
lean ingenuity came to the front.
The linotype operator observed a
big grindstone downstairs. and his
was the bright Idea of hitching 1t to
the linotype by belt.
The connection was quickly made
and nothing more was needed but to
hitch sufficient muscular energy to the
grlndstone to keep the outfit moving.
Two laborers were secured and set
TO this task. and the thing was done.
The queer-looking device went ia
work with utmost facility.
Its appetite for copy was something
phenomenal. and the newswriters aver
that never before were they kept in
