Avoiding the Commonplace

A young reporter was given an
assignment to write the obituary of
prominent Western pioneer. He
wrote as follows:
Citizens OF this State will be very
much grieved to learn that Uncle JOS
eph Hawley has been gathered to his
Fathers. He had been confined to his
bed for three months with a serious
ailment, and while hope was enter
taiped that he would recover, his
death was not altogether unexpected.
Thus is another well-known pio-
neer the victim of the grim reaper,
and another sturdy spirit has crossed
the range"
The city editor demonstrated, with
more than ordinary patience, you
better write this over again, my boy, &"
he said Don't use so many old ex-
pressions. Try to keep everything
new and up to date. Don't use so
many hackneyed phrases. Original
ity is what we went"
The young reporter seized upon his
task with avidity. Presently he APP
preached the city editors desk, and
breathlessly laid his second effort
upon it. This Is what ne had written:
Everybody Will shed tears when
they hear that Josh Hawley has
joined his ancestors. He has been
about all in for nearly three months,
and while a good many people kept
kidding themselves with the idea that
he would get well, It was a cinch
he had to go.
Thus is another of the old boys
moved down, and another soul has
bored a tunnel through the great di-
vide. Puck.

reach Phoenix for nearly a week
after leaving Clifton. Previous to

it seems that his trolley slipped on

before he reached it. This was the
cause of his delay. His reputation
as weather prophet is not quite as
good as it was before he left home,
but perhaps there may haye been
"eXtenuating circumstances, with
which his constituents are not
familiar.
