A Chinese editor, in rejecting
a MS, thus wrote to the author:
I'VE have read your MS. with
infinite delight. By the sacred
ashes of our ancestors we swear
that we'have never read such a
splendid piece of writing. But
if we printed it his majesty the
emperor, our most high and most
mighty ruler, would order us to
take this as a model, and never
print anything inferior. AS this
would not be possible in less than
1000 years, we. with great re-
gret, return thy divine MS. and
ask 1000 pardons."
Editing a newspaper IS a nice
thing. If we publish jokes peo-
pie say we are rattle Drained. If
we don't we are fossils. If we
publish original matter they say
we don't give them enough Sc
lections. If we give them selec-
tions they say we are too lazy to
write. If we don't go to church
we are heathens. If we do go
we are hypocrites. five remain
at the office we ought to be out
looking for news items. If we
go out then we are not attending
to business. If we wear old
clothes they laugh at us. If we
wear good clothes they say We
have a pull. Now, what are we
to do? Just as likely as not some
one will say that we stole this
from an exchange. So we did.
It is more fun to see a man
read a puff on himself in a news
paper than to see fat man slip
on banana peel. The narrow
minded man reads it over seven
or eight times, and then goes a.
round to appropriate what copies
he can. The kind hearted man
goes around to the office and pays
what he owes The successful
bul mess man who advertises reg
ularly and makes money by it,

Clerks in the employ of the United States
Life Insurance Company, OF No. 273 Broad
way. are q versatile lot Yesterday was
ironing day for the insurance company
and for the time being the Offices were
converted into a hand laundry.
When the days work was done 300 bonds,
representing 10000. had been ironed out
and tho folds creased as neatly as any
housewife ever "did up napkin or hand
kerchief.
The securities had been in the vaults OF
the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company at
the time the Equitable building burned,
and when the four strong boxes Of the
United states company were removed from
the vaults they were flled with water, and
the bonds were soaked. Several attempts
were made TO dry the securities by press
ing them between sheets Of blctttns paper,
but these failed.
J. p. Mum, president of the company,
was seized with an inspiration yesterday,
and after ordering lines TO be strung around
the offices had the bonds pinned to them.
Electric fans were turned on them, and
when they were dry enough group OF
clerks, with electric irons. were set TO work
| ironing out the creases.
