cured in a nearby city and the full story must go in this edition!" And the night editor, with remarkable knowledge of all the work so far ac- complished, shows the makeup men just what matter to save from the condemned pages, while the less i'm portant items, already in type, are cast into the melting pot.
 The newspaper men have been working hard indeed before this lat est news horroor arrived, but now they slave. Collars, ties and shirts are fairly ripped from their perspir- ing bodies as they begin work on the new copy which is rushed to the linotype operators. piece by piece The matrices fall into place like rain of a heavy storm.
 In the big photo engraving room similar scene is being enacted. Half tone plates of the principal buildings in the stricken city must be made in the course of an hour or so. The great cameras are set in position; picture after picture fo- cused, snapped and plates developed. Almost before the type is ready for the makeup in the forms the illus rrations arrive in the shape of plates from the blocking room.
 Even under this strenuous excite ment the newspaper workers have men under perfect discipline, and like well trained soldiers rush through their various duties. Every man knows his place in newspaper plant and so quickly are the forms put to- gether that to an outsider it would seem as though the type simply leaped into place.
 The splendid order is what accom- plishes the wonderful results in such q brief time. Specially selected men have been arranging the headlines as the typeline slugs are being cast up- on the linotypes; other workers place the columns into proper posi- ton with type taken from the proof reader and corrected galleys.

presses. There is something hypno- tizing in the great speed of a news paper press, and the double octuble newspaper press, which prints 95,000 complete papers an hour is without doubt one of the modern seven won ders of the world.
 In the early hours of morning when the stars shine brightly and when only the rumbling of few bread and milk vehicles disturb the stiffness of the clear air, the news paper men of the night come out in little groups from the big newspaper plants. The all-night cafes, restaur- ants and saloons are the goal Of many of these tireless reporters, Journalists. admen and printers. and many and bright are the stories told when these good fellows get to- gether' They have put out the news for the still slumbering pub lie, and before going home for few hours sleep newspaper men must have an hot--. recreation in their own bohemian way.

session of the fact, When a terrible conflagration is wiping out a great portion of a city during the early hours of morning, and when the pub lie is sound in slumber. the news paper men are preparing copy and putting the full details of the horror in type.
 As the average person approaches the breakfast table each morning and leisurely glances over his favorite morning paper, scarcely thought is given to the wondrous work which has been necessary to produce that cleanly, neatly-folded sheet of printed paper. To make possible the produc- ton of the average morning paper, foreign newspaper correspondents have braved the dangers of the jungle for a brief news item; war journal ists have approached the very firing line of conflicting armies for para graph of war intelligence; regular

few of these disciples of Gutenberg attend services at the various churches. In New York and Phila- delphia certain Catholic churches have arranged 2:3O a. m. services for the newspaper men, and to their credit be it said that these printers masses" as the services are termed. are very well attended.
 It is human, of course, for the general reader of the daily newspa- pers to become vexed when suddenly meeting with the "pi line" in an in tcresting news paragraph, and ire quently when a wrong line is remoV- ed in a correction an item reads very strangely indeed. But the "pi line'' and wrong correction will slip in at time during the strenuous rush in form closing hour in great news paper. Yes, the newspaper men are to be pardoned if they commit a slight error or two in their tedious work, and the wonder is that there are not more glaring mistakes made in the average morning paper where the work is accomplished under the most trying conditions by the News paper Men of the Night.
 Robert F. Salade, in The Typo graphical Journal.

In every large city of the old and new world there are branches of a peculiar society of specially trained workers who labor through the long, dark hours of night that the people Of the world may know.
 These workers enjoy but little of the ordinary pleasures of life and seldom take an active part in the everyday social affairs of the big cities, and yet the members of this universal society are always several hours ahead of the other folks of the world in their general knowledge of current as we'll as international events.
 Several hours before the public reads in the morning papers the in telligence of some great sea disaster. such as the ill-fated Titanic, these active worllers-the newspaper men Of the night-through the miracle of the wireless have been in full pos

the forms are properly made up and are then ready for the stereotype room, where another great battle against time occurs.
 As the heavy forms are received for casting the stereotype men fly about the room, many of them shirt less, their muscular forms gleaming with precipitation and looking very much like fiends from ga scene in Dante's Inferno. The papier- machc molds are pounded into the dies; and, with a few finishing touches. the curved plates are ready for the big presses.
 The men in the pressroom have been taking things easy while their fellow workers in the rooms over head have been arranging the forms for press, but their work is now to begin. The wonderful machinery has been carefully wiped. cleaned and oiled; every screw, nut and bolt mi nutely examined and the great presses have been patiently awaiting ready to devour their gigantic meal At last the stereotype plates are received in the pressroom and are quickly screwed to the cylinders. An electric bell tinkles: the rollers re- VolVe, and after a lew touches to the nake-ready and ink-flow the giant presses start off with remark able speed, pouring forth the %com- pleted papers in countless numbers. As the edition rains from the ma chimes the first lots are taken to the mailing room and the delivery wagons lined up outside the building and few moments later are convey cd to the specal newspaper trains and street carriers, who in turn de- liver the papers.
 Few people there are indeed in these times who have not. on some belated homegoing trip in the wee hours of morning, paused for a few moments in front of some newspaper building basement to watch the fas- cinating operation of the big web

Hope for Peace Not. Bright

The United States will not recog-
nize the Mexican election which has
been set for October 26. With Huerta
clothed with dictatorial powers the
Washington administration knows
that it is futile to hope that fair and
free expression of the will of the Mex
ican people can be had.
Washington has informed Provis-
ional President Huerta that it ''looks
with abhorrence and amazement
upon his assumption of both the legis-
lative and executive powers of Mexico,
and that acts performed during his
dictatorship cannot be regarded as
constitutional. All that had been ac-
complished by Envoy John Lind has
been undone. What will be the next
step taken by the United States?
1t is suggested that the American
administration throw its support to
those now in arms against Huerta in
the northern part of Mexico. This
might go as far as removing the en-
barge upon munitions of war, which
would prove of great advantage to the
revolutionists.
There is one prediction that can be
made with practical certainty of its
fulfillment Huerta will not be long
allowed to continue in power. He has
forfeited any esteem in which he
might have been held. His overthrow
now will be regarded with satisfaction
by this country.

THE BRAND NEw BIBLE

From the Popular Magazine.
Samuel G.. Blythe is the author of .
story called "On the Water Wagon"
Two or three. months after the story ap-
peared in book form, man who had
been an habitual drunkard went to a
priest to take the temperance pledge.
After the pledge had been administered,
the holy father said:
Nov, I'm going to give you little
book to read. want you to read some
thing in it every day. It's not part of
the Bible, but it's fine book. I call it
the Drunkards Bible.''
He then handed the man who wanted to
reform copy Of Blythes book. explain
ing:
''This is fine piece of work. I give II
to good many people. 1t should hold
you steadfast in your purpose to reform .
Some weeks later friend met Blythe
on the street and told him about the
Drunkards Bible, thinking that the au.
thor would be greatly pleased.
'sWho was the man who wanted to re-
form?'' asked Blythe.
The friend told him.
"Oh, that rummy!" exclaimed Blythe
Hes been drunk for the last 10 days.

the shippers of the country. They have
claimed that the court has consistent
" acted in behalf of the railroads,
and that its reversals have gone far
toward preventing reforms ordered by
the interstate commerce commission.
Another thing which brought the
commerce court into disrepute was
the impeachment and conviction of
Judge Archibald. He was found guilty,
on trial before the Senate. of favoring
corporations in which he had a finan-
cial interest, and was removed from
office.
The judges of the commerce court
will be continued in office as addition
al circuit Judges of the United States.
This concession seemed necessary to
prevent some excellent men from be-
ing legislated out of office through no
fault of their own.

LIGHTING UP A HORSE

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A humane man in Minneapolis has
strapped an incandescent bulb on the
forehead Of his valued horse, and by this
means hopes to warn away reckless
drivers of automobiles who might other
wise run him down at night and do him
grievous harm. The battery, a small af-
fair, is attached beneath one of the thills
and the connection is made when the
horse is harnessed.
1t is understood that the first dark
night the new device was tried, the horse.
unaccustomed to the attachment, shook
his lighted head so vigorously that an In
ebriated automobilist got dazed and went
into the ditch.
At the same time. the humane express
man should remember the experience OF
Max Adeler's Erie canal mules and be
quite sure that the Insulation is perfect
Those mules had a current attached tc
them by a genial idiot of driver, in or
der to put little hustle into their tagging
footsteps, and when they got the seconc
shock they kicked the. driver into the
canal, dragged the boat into the bank
tipped over the lockkeeper's house ano
committed suicide by drowning
