THE EDITOR GOES TO TOWN,

Galveston News: The editor was
going to the city. II was something OF
an event. for where The Weekly
Roughrider was printed people seldom
went to the city.
1t had been noised about for week
that the editor contemplated going to
the city. and friends and constituents
sat up nights to see what use they
could make Of him.
Up to the morning OF his departure
he had contracted to attend to numer-
Gus things for numerous people. He
had agreed to try to put loan OF
$3.50 through the Second National
bank for one man. For another he
had agreed to ask the extension OF
sixty days on a little bill Of dry goods
amounting to 1875. For third he
was to buy and bring out three gallons
of Iinseed oil, advertised at cents
q gallon less than at home and the
editors carrying OF 1t would save
freight.
Also he had contracted to attend to
the trimming Of a hat for Mrs. Wads-
wood; to buy sanitary glass bottle
with a rubber tube in It for Mrs.
Grimmel's baby; to get samples OF
wall paper for Mike McCool: to see
the Skipkoe Single. mill In person and
see IL he couldn't get better price
on millwork for the Davis house; to
Investigate the proposition TO buy
church organ on time for the new
church, to purchase q rooI of stair
carpet for Ezra Williams. and to look
up Sam Woods nephew and tell him
how the folks were.
incidentally he had to buy some type
for himself, and had figured on SPEND
ing the day in town leaving that night.
Therefore his soul was sorry within
him. An editor cannot offend sub
scribers and advertisers in a town
where people seldom go to the city and
he had smilingly agreed to attend to
these things.
II was time TO depart. The editor
clapped on his hat and with a final
word to lanky Ben Miller. the printer,
slipped down the back stairway. hop
ing to reach the depot without meat-
ing friends.
But as he turned the corner OF the
building voice hailed him:
Hey, Ed! Come here a minute."
The editor hesitated. The voice was
that Of leading advertiser. Then he
reluctantly approached the back door
from which the voice came.
You know, Ed" said the leading
advertiser, Il amt drinlxin' man;
but like to keep little whisky in
tn house for sickness. Now, at the

tor. thinking of the stair carpet and
the other things. The other pushed
