been for his partuer, Barney Loug, who

How to Do It.
A lady asks whether etiquette requires
one to knock at the door of an editor's
sanctum before entering. We hasten to
reply. If you are coming to pay your
subscription or bring in a nice item of
news, don’t stop to knock, but just walk
right in as if you owned the place. If,
on the other hand, you are ou a collect-
ing tour, yon should make the faut
known through the window, and then
kuock at the door until the editor opens
it. You may sink down from fatigue be-
fore he does so, but you will be adhering
to the printing office etiquette that fs
