No man is more u'treservi dly
culled a shameless liar than the
newspaper reporter, and no man
consideis the slanders against him
more lightly His conscience is
usually clear, Ins motives disinter

ture comprehensive, his sense of

his traducern complete.— Louisville

Here is a preacher w 10 appreciates
an editor. At a recent e'itorin
convention tie offered the following
toast. " I o save an edit >r from
I stai vation, take his newspaper and
! pay him for it promptly. To save
h 111 from bantr iptcy, advertise in
his paper liberally. l"o save him
fr*nil d« spair, semi him everv iiem
i of ic vs of which you can get hold.
To save him from profanity, write
j your correspondence plainly on one
side of ti e paper and send it in as
! early as possible. To save him from
mistakes, bury him; dead people are
the only oi.es that never make mis-
1 takes. Newspap 1 readers would do
well to remember that there are no
perfect people—editors or readers.'
