A sentimental editor out in Kansa
asks : "Are there any sweeter word
in the English language than these , V
' " not but the
love you' ? Perhaps ;
words , l'IIere * that dollar I owe you on
subscription , " are not lacking in de
lightful enuciation to the ear of a news
paper man.
A minister in a nearby town on a re
cent Sunday surprised his audience , say *
the Atchison ( Kan. ) Globe , by reading
the following notice from the pulpit
"The regular session of the Donkey club
will be held as usual after the services
Members will line up just outside tie
door , make remarks and stare at the
ladies who pass , as i < * their custom. '
13ut they didn'd that Sunday. .
Shawnee County ( Kan ) News : An
editor works 30oi days per yeai to get
out fifty-two issues of his paperthat's
labor. Oncem a .vhile somebody pays
him a year's subscription that's capi
tal ; and once in a while some dead
beat takes the paper a year or two with
out paying for it that's anarchy. But
later on , justice will overtake the last
named creature , for there is a place
where he will get his just deserts
that's hell.
A north Missouri newspaper man was
missing for several days after the
Fourth and the following , which ap
peared in the first edition of his paper
following his celebration was lookec
upon as a clue to his whereabouts by
some : "He spent a dime for powder
and a querter for a gun. He spent an
hour loading it , tbo time was spent for
fun. He spent much breath in "saying
things" long ere the noise had fled.
His coin's now spent for salves and
oils ; ha spends his time in bed. ' '
The editor sat in his easy chair , light
ing his pipe on his jiuburn hair. A
halo shown over his faoe so fair , but his
knees were out and his feet were bare.
And he sang a song bo * * i sad and sweet ,
while the flies died all around his feet ,
for he had no grub in his shop to eat ,
and the ground was covered over with
sleet. Now , what in the world was tbe
cuss to do ? He had eaten the paste and
swallowed the glue ; he hadn't a drink ,
he hadn't a chaw , and while he stareel
his whiskers grew. And the band
played on.
The devil of a north Missouri paper
has an ambition to becom e a paragraph-
er. The other day he produced the
following which he submitted to the
ed'tor :
There are no hair on a frog.
Good apples grow high , also cherries.
The bumble bee looks pretty , but cut
him out.
The farmer what raises wheat kin git
full and raise other things.
The Lord made the earth , but Mor
gan and Carnegie owns it.
A corn is a wart on your toe Corns
and warts are just the same , only dif
ferent.
One day the turtle announced that
lie would walk on the water , and that
he would doit at a certain date and
place. The turtle was known as a gooJ
mixer , beinq equal at home in tludry
and in the wet. He also had a record
with the sporty boys on account of a
certain affair with the hare. \ herein he
had won out. So h - hail lots of friends
who weie anxious to see if h- culd cet
h
there. When the day came all the fiVh
assembled at the place , while all the
frogs sat on the bank an i rroakfi The
turtle stontl on tho shorn > iminiched
tho assembling of the multitude which
at last filled the stream. Then he ap-
proafhed the watei and calmly walked
across on the heads of the .suckers , sid- >
stepping occasionally to get his foot on
a lobster. Moral That is the way : n
politics.
