WHAT'S AN EDITOR. ANYHOW
Real Thing Is Missing Link, De-
cIares Precious Essayist

A little village boy was given the
stunt by his father to write an essay
on editors and here is the result:
Don't know how newspapers came
to be in the world. ! don't think God
does for he haint got nothing to say
about them and editors in the Bible |
think the editor is one of the missing
links you read of, and stays in the
brushes until after the food, and then
came out and wrote things up, and
has been here ever since. don't
think he ever died.
II never saw a dead one and never
heard of one getting licked. Our pa
per is a mighty good one: but the edi-
tor goes without underclothes all win
ter and don't wear any socks and
paw amt paid his subscription since
the paper started. | asst paw II that
was why the editor had to suck the
Juice out OF snowballs in winter and
20 to bed when he had his shirt
wasn't in summer. And then paw
took me out to the woodshed and lick
ed me awful hard. II the editor
makes mistake folks say he ought
to be hung, but if a doctor makes any
mistakes he buries them and the peo-
pie dassent say nothing, because the
doctor can read and write Latin.
when the editor makes a mistake
there is a lawsuit and swearing and
big fuss: but if a doctor makes one
there is a funeral, cut flowers and per
feet silence. A doctor can use a
word a yard long without him or any
body knowing what IL means; but II
the editor uses one he has to spell 1t.
II the doctor goes to see another
mans wife he charges for the visit;
but II the editor goes he gets a
charge OF buckshot.
when the doctor gets drunk 1t is
a case of being overdone by the neat
and IL he dies il is from heart trou-
BILE: when the editor gets drunk It's
case of too much booze, and II he
dies its the Jim jams. Any old col
ege can make a doctor; an editor ha:

Train Brings Refugees.
A train which reached here this
morning brought many British. Ger

FIVE Americans. None OF them came
direct from Mexico City. Some Oh
them had been prisoners Of the Fed
erals at Cordoba, others ct Soledad, the
Headquarters Of General Mas. The
latter had been released by him as
result OF the urgent representations Of
Consul Canada, and were permitted TO
Join the foreign refugee train which
left the capital on Sunday morning.
Another train is expected 10 arrive
here tonight. and 1t is understood
that many Americans are aboard.
Among the refugees aboard the
chartered Ward Line steamer Mexico
are ten Oklahoma Indian women, who
were released from prison by General
Gustavo Mas on the demand of Con-
sui Canada just before the landing
Of the American marines here.
They are the wives and the children
OF American Indians who were ranch
ing in Southern Mexico, and who, on
being accused of sedition. fed to the
hills. The women were arrested by
Mexican soldiers and brought TO Vera
Cruz and were on the point OF being
taken to Quintana Roo. the Mexican
Siberia.
Despite the fact that Consul Canada
was unable to prove the American Cit

has been learned as to the fate Of THEN
