WHEN THE PARSON EDITS

An editor out west recently went on vacation and left a minister in charge of his paper. A day or two later letter from "a way back" subscriber came, which read:
 "You know dam well I paid my subscription the last time 1 was in your town. If I get any more such letters I will come down and maui hell out of you" The minister answered.: "I have been trying to maui that thing out of the editor for years, and if you come down and maui it out of him, then, my dear, I have twenty mem- bers of my church you can operate on."
 The man who keeps his eyes con- tinually on the clock will always be one of the hands. Abou Ben Adhem made his rep by | loving his fellow men. The flap who tries it nowadays is called a vamp | No man is beat till he quits No man is through till he stops; | No matter how hard failure hits | No matter how often he drops | A fellows not down till he lies In the dust and refuses to rise.
 Fate may slam him and bang him around
 And batter his frame till he's sore,
 But she can never say that he's 1 downed
 While he bobs up serenely for more A fellows not dead till he dies
 Nor beat till no longer he tries.

ton dealing with India and the British
secret service in that country.
The story was written especially for
Earle Williams by Clyde Westover Lot

that Downing Street, England, has come
into the limelight through the Irish
question and the conferences held by
Lloyd George in Downing Street. The
