Office Hints,

Never send articles for publication
without giving thy name, for thy
name often secures publication of a
worthless article.
Thou Shoul5st not rap at the door
of a printing office, for he that hear
eth thee rap sneereth in his sleeves
and looseth time.
Thou ShouldSt never read the copy
on the printers cas or sharp and
hooked cOntainer thereof, or he may
knock you down.
Never inquire of the editor the
news, for behold it is his business to
give it to thee at the appointed time
without asking for it.
1t is not right that thou should ask
him who is the author OF an article,
for it is his duty to keep such things
to himself.
When thou dost enter his Office.
take heed Of myself that thou dost
not look at what may concern thee
not, for that is not meet in the sight
of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet for it is not ready to meet thine
eye, that thou mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and il thou hast not already
done so, subscribe for it Immediately.
Pay for it in advance, and it will be
well with thee and thine.
