THE EDITOR’S HEAVEN
The editor sat in his office
whence all but him had fled, and
he wished that every deadbeat
was in his grave stone dead,
he wondered when he should
die and his royal editorial soul
go scooting to the sky, when he
would roam the fields of para
dise and sail o’er jasper seas
and all things glorious would
combine his every sense to please.
He thought how then he’d
look across the great gulf dark
and drear that’ll yawn between
his happy soul and those who
swindled here, and when for wa
ter they would call and in agony
they’d caper, he’d shout to them
’’Just quench your thirst with
the due that’s on your paper.”

ESAU BUCK AND
THE BUCK SAW
An old farther of Arkansas,
whose sons had all grown up
and left him, hired a yong man
by the name of Esau Buck to
help him on his farm. On the
evening of the first day they
hauled up a small load of poles,
for wood, and unloaded them.
The next morning the old man
said to the hired man:
‘‘Esau, I’m going to town to
day and while I am gone you
saw wood and keep the old ram
out of the garden.”
When the old man had gone
Esau went out to saw the wood,
but when he saw the saw he
wouldn’t saw. When Esau saw
the saw he saw he couldn’t saw
with that saw. Esau looked
around for another saw, but
that was the only saw he saw so
he didn’t saw. When the old
man came home he said to
Esau:
“Esau,did you saw the wood?”
Esau said: “I saw the wood,
but I wouldn’t saw it.”
The old man went out to see
the saw, and when he saw the
saw he saw that Esau couldn’t
saw with the saw. When Esau
saw that the old man saw that
he couldn’t saw with the saw,
Esau picked up the ax and
chopped the wood and made a
seesaw.
The next day the old man
went to town and bought a
new buck-saw for Esau Buck,
and when he came home he
hung the buck saw for Esau
Buck on the saw-buck by the
see-saw.
When the old buck saw Esau
Buck looking at the new buck
saw on the saw-buck by the see
saw, he made a dive for Esau
and hit the see saw, knocked the
seesaw against Esau Buck', who
fell on the buck saw on the saw
buck by the seesaw.
When the old man saw the
old buck dive at Esau Buck and
miss Esau ad hit the seesaw
and knocked the seesaw against
Esau, and Esau Buck fall on
the buck saw on the saw buck
by the seesaw, he picked up an
ax to kill the old buck. But the
buck saw him coming, dodged
the blow and cauntered on the
old man’s stomach, knocked
the old man over the seesaw on
to Esau Buck who was getting
the seesaw, crippled Esau Buck,
broke the buck saw and the
saw buck and the seesaw.—Ex.
