especial Bargains for Short Tine Only.

Like the little boy we t.just wanted
to know" but our editor seemed to
think that the great unwashed should
not ask questions about such things.
There not to make reply.
Theirs not to reason why.
There's but to do and die"
Or should we say there's but to pay
the bills and ask no questions for con-
science sake. But not being cut over
that pattern we wanted to know. and
asking got into hornets nest again.
Now what had happened to ruffle
the feathers OF the editor on that par
ticuIar morning we know not. Had his
rest been broken by eating mince
pies donated by some rural subscrib-
er? Did the business manager step
on pet corn? Had the printers devil
stolen some proof sheets? Had the cat
eaten the office towel? Had but
we desist. The most careful research
throws no light on this momentous
question and 1t Will probably go down
problems of science.
Nevertheless we will now be SO
good as to say we never yet thought
the city should hu'Id the bridge alone
any more than we thought the balance
of the county should do so and since
being convinced that the city had to
help build it we have nothing to say.
We don't say that 10 tickle the edl-
tor, for like Lone Star, no one has
any strings to us, and we refrain from
saying too nice things to editors on
principle for fear 1t might feed their
vanity; just as the editor never me-
elects an opportunity to rub the fur
of Fritz the wrong way, probably from
a fear that any different treatment
might cause the Dltchman to absorb
some microbes of that fearful malady
known to the yellow journalists as
exaggerated ego"
Nevertheless, now that we have
'fessed up and are being quite good
for the time being mot seeing any
thing In particular to knock just now)
we hope the editor will by this time
have his ruffled plumage smoothed
down and will look once more with
an eye OF tolerance. at least, on

An honorary degree was once con
ferred on Mark Twain by humble In
stitution In a Missouri town that had
known him when he was playing Ton
Sawyer there In real life.
1t happened that the degree confer
ring ceremonies took place one lazy day
In June when newspapers generally
were suffering from total collapse OF
everything In the way Of news.
One New York news editor raked
the land with a fguratiye fine tooth
comb and got dry haul for his pains.
Then, recalling that Mark Twain was
getting bis honorary degree that very
day, it occurred to him that a message
direct from the famous author might
relieve the situation In the news. Aft
er much scratching OF the editorial
idea factory he EVOKED this query
which was transmitted Mark Twain
by wire:
How does 1t feel to be a doctor Of lavs7
Please wire answer at our expense.
After a wait of several hours this
characteristic response came hot over
the wire from Missouri:
1t feels like emancipation from ignorance
and vice. MARK TWAIN.
