A Few of His Difficulties.
An Indian Territory editor has this to
say of his work :
"Editing a newspaper is a pleasant
business if yon can stand it.
"If it contains many advertlsments a
subscriber complains that they take up
too much space. If there is lack of ad
vertising it is unpopular and the people
won't have it.
"If we attend church regular they say
we go for effect. If we stay away from
church they say we are monstrously
heathenish.
"If wo accept an invitation to a wed
ding they say wo are only invited to
'write it up. '
"If wo go to the opera house they say
we go on free tickets. If wo are seen
upon the streets too often they say wo
neglect our business. If wo avoid going
on the street they say wo don't hustle
around after the news.
"If wo publish a man who has
bi ought disgrace upon his family , the
friends of the family never forgive us
If wo , out of goodness of heart , decline
to say anything on the subject , the
mun's enemies are disappointed and we
are branded as whitellverod cowards.1

THE FAST TRAINS.
One Whole Day Saved Between Chicago
cage and San Francisco.
The average reader does not stop to
think what the saving of n whole day
between Chicago and San Francisco
means to the busy , bustling people of
America ; but it moans both tiino and
money , and it is proper to ask who is
there who would not do his best to win
out on both propositions. The follow
ing , however , needs no comment : Via
Omaha , the Union Pacific is 204 miles
shorter to Salt Lake City ; 278 miles
shorter to San Francisco ; 278 mllee
shorter to Los Angeles ; 858 miles
shorter to Portland ; 12 hours quicker to
Salt Lake City ; 10 hours quicker to
San Francisco ; 10 hours quicker to
Los Angeles ; 16 hours quicker to Port
land than any other line.
Pamphlets and maps giving full In
formation about the most comfortable
and direct route to the Pacific coast can
be obtained by calling on or addressing.

cays in part : "This shop is worth more
than I ask yon for it , I want to quit
