revel in the peace of the great city and
to take their dejeuners outside the

If some day the newspaper man
should print the contents of his waste
basket there would probably be a riot.
There would certainly be trouble in
many homes, arrests in some direc-
tions, shotguns in others, trouble all
around. But the patron never sees
the waste basket. He only glances at
the printed pages, complains if one
letter in fifty is upside down, growls
his disappointment if one name in
five hundred has happened to go
wrong, kicks because his communica-
tion, signed Taxpayer" has been
condensed into respectable English,
frowns because the editor didn't take
his advice about publicly warning
his neighbor against throwing thrash
and slop in the alley, and is generally
disgruntled. He knows his share of
the waste basket, but if he could have
one look at the contributions made to
that receptacle by his neighbors and
friends, he would be thankful for the
existence of man with sufficient in
tenigence and courage not TO print
all he knows, and to temper even that
which he does print.-Mound Valley
