A Weekly Joy.
The average daily newspaper ,
with its chronicles of crime , its
solemn editorial comment , and its
market quotations , is a very dull
affair. Very few daily papers
help to make life cheerier or easier
bear * But the weekly paper is
weekly joy. It is not spread all
over with tales of crime or defaced
with silly pictures. There is some
thing in it for everybody. Chi

It was one nipht ; one chilly night ,
The stars many in number ,
Looked down ubon this world of ours ,
LL Wrapped peacefully in slumber ;
Looked down on cities sound asleep.
; On meadow , brook and rill ,
And as they looked a cloud of smoke ,
One larj/e hotel did fill.
Tne inmates sleeping peacefully.
Knew no cause for atTii bi ,
Until the fire bell's wild alarm
Rang out on the stilly night.
Ah then , there was hurrying to and fro
Some cried aloud for aid ,
Some rushed to find the fire escape ,
Others knelt down and prayed.
But in that crowd were wicked ones
_ In many wicked ways ,
Whom had never thanked their Maker
For the blessings of their days ,
And when they found that they must
die ;
That there was no other way ;
They gathered around a holy priest
Imploring him to pray.
Crying , oh , dear father pray for us ,
Pray for us father do ,
We would not be afraid to die
Were we as good as 3Tou ,
But the holy priest trembling with
fear ,
Each frightened victim eyed ,
And looked around on the trembling
group ,
As if quite stupefied. |
Why don't you pray one wildly cried ,
Ah , is it really so ,
You've forgotten what you did in
church ,
Such a short time ago ?
The words touching some hidden
spring ,
In his dimmed recollection ,
He calmly proceeded !
To take up a collection ,

Scissorcttes frcm the
ern I'abliwhei * .
A man in a neighboring town ,
who took a city paper in prefer-
ence to ti country paper because he
got more paper for the money ,
was attracted by the advertisement
of a fire escape which would be
forwarded on receipt of $2. lie
sent the cash and in a few days re
ceived a copy of the New Testa
ment.
An editor desiring the news ,
asked a man to write it from his
neighborhood and got this reply :
"AVe have two school marms , the
hog cholera and about fifty bushels
|
of potatoes , and a tarnal fool who
married a cross-eyed girl because
she had a mule and forty acres of
land , and the same is your humble
correspondent. " /
A printer recently tried his hand I
at farming , but couldn't make
things work right and is now back
at the case. He had a "wrong font' '
team a horse and a mule and
this would not "justify. " ' lie said
the farmer fired him after he had
"pied" three or four "columns"
of potatoes , lie showed his limit
ed experience in farming by asking
the farmers wife if she wanted the
hens set "leaded or solid. "
An exchange digs out the follow
ing questions , which will keep
most people guessing : "You can
any day sec a white horse , but did
you ever see a white colt ? How
many different kinds of trees grow
in your neighborhood and what are

A Mi.ouri editor who went on a
vacation left a minister in charge
of his paper. A day or two later
a letter from "a way back"sub
scriber came , which read : ' 'You
know d well I paid my subscrip
tion the last time I was in your
town. If I get any more such let
ters 1 will come down and mauj

answered : " 'I have been trying
to maul that thing out of the editor
for years , and if you really come
down and maul it out-of him , then ,

An exchange answers the ques
tion ' 'Do Hogs Pay ? " in the follow
ing manner : "Our experience is
that they do not. They usually
sponge the paper from ome
neighbor or sneak around to some
store and read it and then kick be
cause the editor did not waste a
lot of good white space in telling
an anxious public what a prom
inent citizen lie is. This same
kind of a hog has been known to
advertise in a paper and refu.se to
pay hi.s bills , or take the paper for
several years and then chuck it
back into the po.stofiice marked
"refused' ' and imagine that he
paid the bill. The same class of
hogs often belong to church and
let the poor widow pay the preach
er more on salary than he does. "
