trasted his advantages with those
of a physician in the town: If
the editor makes a mistake he
has to apologize for it, but if the
doctor makes one he burries it.
If the editor makes one there is
law suit, swearing and a smell
of sulphur, butt if the doctor
makes one, there is a funeral,
cut flowers and a smell of var
nish. The doctor can use word
a yard long without knowing
what it means, but if the editor
uses it he has to spell it. If the
doctor goes to see another mans
wife he charges for his visit, but
if the editor goes to see another
mans wife, he gets a charge of
buck shot. Any old medical col
lege can make doctor, but can't
make an editor He has to be
born. When doctor gets drunk
it's a case of overcome by heat,
and if he dies, it's heart trouble.

Very fine farm

Must be worth around a
S1Ooo?"
More than that; I paid 81 800
for it. Then there's indication
of coal on it, too, which alone is
worth another thousand"
You don't mean it?"
Yes sir. And then tina new
branch railroad is going across
one corner, / consider my farm
worth $5OOO."
Five thousand, eh. -
