PITY THE EDITOR
Hard Lot of Newspaper Scribe Is Defined by
Small Row

Hard Lot of Newspaper Scribe Is Defined by
Small Boy
Here is an original essay in which
the hard lot of the editor is compared
with the luxurious life of the doctor.
The essay was written, 1t is said, by q
small boy in an adjoining county, but
anyway, it tells mournfully true
story. Itruns this way:
"Don't know how some newspapers
came to be in the world l don't think
God knows for He amt got nothin' to
say about them or an editor in the
Bible. l think the editor is one of
them missing links you read about and
stayed in the flood and came out and
wrote the thing and has been here ever
since. l don't think he ever died.
IL never saw dead one or heard of
one being licked. Our paper is q
mighty good one, but the editor goes
all winter and doesn't wear any socks
and paw amt paid his subscription
since the paper started. l asked paw
il that is why the editor had to suck
the juice out of snow balls in winter
and go to bed when he had his shirt
washed in summer And then paw led
me out to the shed and thrashed me
awfully hard.
'lf the editor makes q mistake the
people say he ought to be hung, but if
the doctor makes any mistakes he
buries them and the people dassent say
nothing because the doctor can read
and write Latin. When the editor
makes one there is q law suit and
swearing and big fuss; but il q doc
tor makes one there is a funeral cut
| flowers and perfect silence.
"a doctor can use a word ward long
without him or anyone else knowing
what it means; but il the editor uses
one he has to spell it. If the doctor
goes to see another mans wife, he
charges for visit, but it the editor
goes he gets q nice little charge of
buckshot.
"When the doctor gets drunk it is q
case of being overcome by heat and II
he dies it is from heart trouble; when
an editor gets drunk it's case Of too
much booze, and if he dies, it's the
jim jams. Any college can make q
doctor, an editor has to be born"
