A little village boy was given the stunt by his father to write an essay on editors and here is the result, says an exchange: “Don’t know how newspapers came to be in the world. I don’t think God does for He hain’t got nothing to say about them and editors in the Bible.

Our paper is a mighty good one, but the editor goes without un derclothes all winter and don’t wear any socks (poor editor) and paw ain’t paid his subscription since the paper started. I ast paw if that was why the editor had to suck the juice out of snow balls in winter and go to bed when he had his shirt washt in summer. And then paw took me out to the woodshed and licked me awful hard. If the editor makes a mistake folks say he ought to be hung, but if a doctor makes any mistakes he buries them and the people dassent say nothing, because the doctor can read and write Latin. “When the editor makes a mis take there is a lawsuit and swear ing and a big fuss; but if a doc tor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and perfect silence. A doctor can use a word a yard long without him or anybody knowing what it means; but if the editor uses one he has to spell it.
