A Hard Luck Story.

Narvlng from the accePt~u au-
age "tell your troubles to po'
liceman". We are going to infl,ct
on our readers some Of ours, not
in the least to bid for sympa-
thy, bu, rather to forestall posi-
bic criticism of this weeks issue
(should any there be).
Wednesday and Thursday Of
last week our engine went on strike
and was coaxed to resume work
onlv after twenty-four hours OF
moral suasion that would move the
bowels of compassion of an army
mule. Just as We were ready to
put the paper on the press, how
ever. our pressman was called to
the bedside of his dying father.
Wednesday aud Thursday, by dint
of constant "tiukering" we got
the engine going long enough to
print the paper off. which was
really beyond our most sangulne
expectations.
Saturday the edito was taken
sick and up to tee Y Thurs
day. is still painfall' i'll and un
able to be out.
Monday We had lot of belated
ioh work ready to run off for im-
pstien. customers, when all the
gasoline in town gave out all at
once. 1t seems that the gasoline
had been ordered ten days before
by three different parties and all
three shipments failed to materi-
alize.
Monday night our pressman's
father died, leaving US necessarily
short of help.
Many more minor mishaps might
be added, but the foregoing is
enough to show that the editor OF
country weekly does not pursue
primrose bordered pathway al
the time and surely when errors
and shortcomings are apparent
harsh criticism might sometimes
he withheld. Most of us-even
newspaper editors--put forth the
best product possible, circum-
stances considered, and seeming in
difference or negligence Is far more
frequently the result of difficulties
of which the public knows moth
ing rather than Incidence or lack
of attention to business.
