THE POOR WORM
TT RMS AT l. A S
Found-A Country Publisher With the
Courage to Tell Nothing But
the Truth.

Here is one country editor who
refuses to publish a laudatory obitu-
airy of man whom he says took his
paper for years, worked the old gag of
saying he never subscribed for it and
declined to pay.
The scribe with the courage of his
convictions is Roe Chase, the able pub
Usher of the Anoka (Minn.) Herald.
Following is the obituary as he pub
lished it:
Possibly no one in Anoka will recall
William J. Whittery. Maybe some
will recall that he lived in Anoka
county sixteen years ago.
We we'll remember the first time
that we met him. We had just under
taken the task of editing this paper.
The old fellow came into the sanctum
and subscribed for the paper-said he
wanted to encourage US. We put his
name on the list and waited patiently
for the dollar which he agreed to send
in 'the next day."
That fall he moved to Minneapolis.
We sent the paper there and it follow
ed him later to Iowa and then to North
Dakota.
Occasionally we sent him bill. He
sending him the reprehensible sheet
for seven years, we quit.
| We wrote him and asked that he
pay up. Some weeks later there came
a letter in which he claimed that he
had never subscribed for it, didn't
want it and wouldn't pay cent for
it.
The bill was too small to bother
about sueing the old crook SO we
charged it up to profit and loss.
He had swindled us for seven years.
Now comes letter from some of
his sorrowing relatives asking that
we give space to his obituary and tell
Of his good points.
So the old chap is dead!
And the paper which he swindled
during his life time is asked to say
the last nice things about him.
Funny situation, isn't it?
What can we say?
He wasn't murderer, for he did
not succeed in starving us to death.
He wasn't guilty of grand larceny,
for the sum which he beat us out of
was too dinkey to come under that
head.
But the worthy William j. was a
dead beat and crook and this is all
that he will ever get in the way Of an
obituary from us.
If the old skinfint had any good
points he successfully concealed them
from US.
There are fifteen or twenty other
old reprobates that have swindled us
in much the same manner as this fell
