"AND yet"-think OF the thousands of thrills
that thousands of non-existent fourth estaters
missed. Imagine the lurid headlines they
might have made-sequels to-press wire flashes
such as Greeks capture Troy" Caesar as
sassinated," Rome wiped out by fire" and SO
on ad iniinitum. Think Of the potential North
cliffes and Hearsts who lived and died without
writing single editorial! Dahgunit Sir
Owen, let US come over and weep with you.

THE TWENTY.THIRD PSALM.
Paraphrased by Eugene Field
My Shepherd is the Lord my God,
There Is no want / know;
His flock He leads in verdant meads,
Where tranquil waters flow.
He doth restore my fainting soul
With His divine caress,
And, whenI stray, He points the way
To paths of Righteousness.
Yea, though walk the vale Of death.
What evil shall fear?
Thy stan and rod are mine, o God,
And Thou, my Shepherd near!
Mine enemies behold the feast
Which my dear Lord hath spread
And 10! my cup He illeth up,
With oil anoints my head!
Goodness and mercy shall be mine
Until my dying day;
Then will bide at his dear eide
Forever and for aye
