An Essay on Editors

A country school boy was told to
write an essay on editors, says an
exchange, and this is the result:
Don't know how newspapers came
to be in the world. ! don't think the
good Lord does, for he amt got moth
ing to say about an editor in the
Bible J think the editor is one of
the missing links YOU read about and
stayed in the bushes until after the
flood and then came out aud wrote
the thing up and has been here ever
since. l don't think he ever died. l
never saw n dead one ard never
heard of one getting licked. II a
doctor makes a mistake he buries II
and the people dassent say nothing.
When the editor makes a mistake
there Is big swearing and a big fuss,
but II the doctor makes a mistake
there is a funeral, cut flowers and
perfect silence. A doctor can use
a word a yard long without anybody
knowing what II is. but II an editor
uses one he has to spell II. II a
doctor goes I o see another mans
wife he charges for IL. but IL the ed
itor goes he gets a charge OF buck
shot. Any old college can make a
doctor. but an editor has to be born.

Good Reading for Sunday
Somewhere a Woman

Somewhere a Woman
Soewhere a woman, thrusting fear
away,
Faces the future bravely for your
sake,
Tolls on from dawn till dark, from
day to day
Fights back her tears, nor heeds
the bitter ache;
She loves you, trusts you. breathes
in prayer your m
Soil not her faith in you by sin or
shame.
Somewhere a wpman-mother, sweet
heart, wife
Waits betwixt hopes and fears for
your return;
Her kiss. her words will cheer you
in strife
When death itself confronts you,
grim and stern.
But let her image all your reverence
claim,
When base temptations scorch you
with their flame.
Somewhere a woman watches, thrill
ed with pride
Shrined In her heart, you share
a place with none;
She tolls, she waits, she prays, till
side by side
You stand together when the fight
is done.
o keep for her dear sake a stainless
name,
Bring back to her a manhood free
from shame
