publisher realizes thut his publication is criticised and none has yet been heard of that has proven satisfactory to all its readers Try as the publisher may there will be some to find fault with one thing or an other nnd they sometimes take great pains to let the responsible person know what the fault is in their estimation If fortunately a reader iB pleased he is not nearly so anxious to let the publisher know it and no one realizes that he is satisfied perhaps not even himself A Btory is going the rounds of a reporter who dreamed that the publication on which he was employed got out nn ibsuo with contents above criticism The publisher decided to make an effort to please everybody aud every article or item brought in was carried around to the different houses and submitted to subscribers and non subscribers for strange a it may seom it is often the uon subscriber who criticises the most Well the matter was submitted und if there was an objection raised on any point it was killed The
