* know a Germau editor,” sald a
sewspaper wan, “who found himself
ane night when the paper was about
to go to press without any editorials.
What was he to do? It was too late
to write any himself, too late to have
any written. Like a flash an inspira-
tion came to him, and, dipping his pen,
he wrote hurriedly:
wepfter carefully reading the edl-
torials written for the morning's issue
by four of the ablest and most bril-
liant members of our staff we have
come to the conclusion that they might
be misinterpreted by the authorities
and regarded as an attack on the gov-
ernment. We ourselves consider them
perfectly innocent, but as we bave no
desire to see our newspaper confiscated
we have very unwillingly, though, as
we think, prudently, resolved to with-
hold the articles In question. This
must serve as an apology to our read-
ers for a blank editorial page.’
“Imagine this editor's shock when his
secretary telephoned him the next
morning that the paper had been con-
fiscated.
« ‘But—but on what ground? the ed-
itor gasped.
« «For malicious ridicule of the gov-
ernmental authorities by the omission
of the editorials.’ "—Los Angeles Times.
Pet Poisoning a Trade.
“Every town has its pet polsoner if
you know where to find him,” said a
druggist. “These men keep my stock
of alkaloids on the move. There is a
demand for the pet poisoner. Suppose
your favorite dog breaks his back.
What a relief, then, to summon the pet
poisoner and have the animal slain
without pain. Cats and birds, dogs
and even fish come within the prov-
ince of the pet poisoner. He charges
usually a dollar a case, but if you are
rich he won't object to charging you $5
or $10. Some folks in their wills leave
directions that their pet dogs or cats be
poisoned, fearing that the animals
would find life too harsh and sad after
their loving owners’ decease. Some
folks, too, if they are going away for a
long time—making a tour of the world,
say—have their pets poisoned rather
than trust them to servants possibly
careless. Mistaken kindness I call such
doings, and that, I bet, 1s what the pets
call it too.”—Cincinnati Enquirer,
“Either” and “Neither.”
There are two or three things about
these two words that one should re-
member. In the first place, they should
never be used in connection with more
than two things—as: “It was elther
Tuesday or Wednesday,” not “either
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday;” “it
was neither Tuesday nor Wednesday,”
not “neither Tuesday, Wednesday nor
Thursday.” Then, either should not be
used in the sense of each, as “they
walked on. one on either side of the
rond.” It should be one on ‘*‘each”
side of the road. The third caution is
about the pronunciation. Some per-
sons insist that they should be pro-
nounced “i-ther” and “ni-ther,” with
the “I” long. But this is more an af-
fectation perhaps than anything else.
The best authorities agree that the
right pronunciation is “e-ther” and
“ne-ther.”—New York World.
“Pinched.”
The humor of school and college ex-
aminations is perennial. One speci-
men was contributed by one of the
high schools where a girl in the de-
partment of history was required to
write a brief sketch of Queen Eliza-
beth. Her paper when turned in was
found to contain the following sen-
tence: “Elizabeth was so dishonest that
she stole her soldiers’ food.” The
teacher who conducted these examina-
tions was puzzled to know just whence
this particular information had perco-
lated into the girl's mind. So, calling
her up, she asked the question.
Why,” was the ready answer, “that's
just what it says in the history.”
The book was sent for and the pas-
sage examined. It was found to read,
“Elizabeth was so parsimonious that
she pinched her soldiers’ ration.”—
Bookman.
A Curious Rescue.
Two officers hunting wolves on the
Dry mountain, in central Servia, lost
their way in a fog. After wandering
for tourteen hours one of them lay
down in the snow and speedily became
unconscious. His comrade bound him
with cords, placed him in a sitting po-
sition and then rolled him down the
mountain. He glided down the slope at
terrific speed and reached the bottom
safely, being found an hour later in an
exhausted condition by a peasant.
Man and Plants.
M. Camille Saint-Saens says: “I do
not pretend to adduce irrefragable evi-
dence in support of my theory that
man began his earthly career as a
plant. I do maintain, however, that an
impartial examination of my theory
must allow that my assumption and
hypotheses are sufficiently plausible to
be considered justifiable.”
Keeps Him High Strung.
“The manager always keeps back a
portion of the villain's salary.”
“Why does he do that—afraid he'd
skip?”
“No, but he always acts his part bet-
ter when he's mad.”"—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
The Losers.
“To what do you attribute your suec-
cess in acquiring money?”
“Partly to the success of other men
in letting go of It.” replied the great
financier.—Philadelphia Ledger.

A Well Kept Murder Secret.
That the identity of the man who
killed Campbell of Glenure on May 14,
1752, should still be handed down from
father to son a solemn trust among a
few members of the Stewart clan is
one of the curiosities of history:
The mute trees know who fired that shot,
But the secret well they're keeping.
The highlunders refused it to Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson. Andrew Lang
says that, like Willlam of Deloraine,
“he knows, but may not tell” Mr.
Mackay, the author of this most com-
plete and interesting account of the
crime and trial, ieaves us a little doubt-
ful whether he is among the initiated.
“1 should be the last,” he writes, “to
make public a secret that has been sc
well kept. [Its antiquity makes it sa-
cred.”—London Spectator.

would you do if you should find in

“Nothing at all. I should live on the
income.”—London Tit-Bits.
Unselfish.
“Why don't you go to work?"
“Work? rejoined Meandering Mike.
“Look at de thousands of poor fellows

essary to me, an’ | ain't goin’ to butr

The Foes of the Trees.
There is a group of men at Washington
who seem to be bending every agency to
handicap the efforts of the President and
of Gifford Pinchot, Chief Forester, and of
the good Americans who are backing them
up, to make farther additions to the pa-
tional forests. Last winter what is known
as the Appalachian Forest Bill was passed
successfully until it reached Speaker Can-
non, of the Honse, who killed it. Why
be did so he has not been able satisfac-
torily to explain; but, at all events, in so
doing he lost the respect of those who
hitherto had believed in his loyalty to
American farm interests.
This winter the Appalachian Bill is com-
ing ap again, and, if the farm interests of
this country are to be served, every one of
those interested must get huey, and get
busy at once. Now, this bill provides for
making a national forest of an area which
not only includes seventy-five million acres
of hardwood, but also includes the wooded
distriots on the head waters of streams
which supply several of the most valuable
agrionltural regions within the Appalachian
State group I bave already pamed. Last
season, just after Speaker Cannon had kill-
ed the first bill, a disastrous flood visited
the cut-over region of this section, almost
as if Providence bad thought to visit upon
us a swift, practical lesson, while the sub.
ject was on every tongue, of the barm
which comes to regions that are dependent
on their farming interests and have not bad
sense enough to keep their forests.

crops. —*Fair-Play.”’
