TRIALS OF THE CITY
AND SOCIETY EDITOR.


Here We have the City Ed. What is
he doing? He is attaching a tin
cylinder to the man who tried to do
police. Does the man like this? He
had intended to climb to the topmost
rung Of journalism. Who pushed him
off? The City Ed. pushed him off,
says the New York Telegraph.
What else does the City Ed. do? He
takes nice blue pencil and scratches
out the graphic lines about the "all-
devouring flames that writhed like SER
penis" Then the story says that the
house burned down at s o'clock last
night. Then it is a nice story, is it
not?
Can the City Ed. write? Oh, yes.
When the new reporter turns in a col
umn story about runaway the City
Ed. writes him a note. Is it a nice
note? No, it Is not nice note.
The City Ed. is brave man. When

but he knows no fear. When the local
poetess gets into the wrong pew and
submits poem on Eternity" he
reads it and says;j That is very good,
but the democratic convention is TAX
ing up all our space"
The City Ed. swears and smokes all
the time. Is he not wicked, children?
When you grow up never be City Ed.
Here we have the society editor.
What is she doing? She is writing
about the dainty luncheon at the coun-
try club. She also has an exclusive
story about the Misses Excelsior of
Frisco, spending a few weeks with
their cousins in Harlem. At the swell
dinner given in their honor covers
were laid for 'twenty-four.
Does the society editor have to go
after stories? Not at all-the stories
are sent in by the anxious principals.
Isn't this too much trouble for the
principals? Oh, no-delightful, I as
sure you!
Are you in society? Then come and
meet the society editor She will be
glad to fix you out if you send in your
MSS, written on one side of the paper
and be careful about spelling and pune
tuation.
Why is the society editor laughing?
She is laughing at the lady who sent
in six items about herself. She knows
this lady will say next day, my good
ness, you just can't keep anything out
of the papers, nowadays! Society
people are queer things and the So
ciety editor is on to all their curves.
Yes, indeed. Let us run along now
and not bother her any more until she
has finished reading her mail.

ONE FEATHER.

Her sister brought the wife a feather
A soft Partisan thing of beauty.
(And Mr.. Loeb may answer whether
He did or did not get the duty.)
The feather had to have a hat
To wreathe itself upon, take it;
For twenty dollars Cheap at that
Madam O'Malley deigned to make it.
So fine hat is simply lost
Without proper coat below it;
The coat, with all it's fixings, cost,
Say, ninety more-at least owe it,
That coat was scarcely warm enough
A stylish coat is rarely weighty-
But, after all, the stole and muff
Were hardly very dear at eighty.
And then a gown and shoes and
things
Here! Add the bills, We household
scholars!-
That little feather plumed the wings
OF pretty near three hundred dol.

The dimpled face beneath the
