THE POOR EDITOR
In this country the press is free —
very free.
A child is born unto the wife of
the town’s leading merchant. The
physician gets SSO and another cus
tomer. The editor writes a story
about the birth and risks his soul
unto damnation by bragging a
pound or two extra on the kid’s
weight. And he is lucky if he gets
anything more than a cheap cigar.
Let’s watch the kid. She grows up,
gets the measles, chickenpox, mumps,
scarlet fever, housemaid’s knee, the
itch and breaketh a few bones. The
doctor on each occasion gets his fee.
The editor laments so that all the
neighbors send flowers and bring
jelly. Finally the kid graduates. She
gets a swell notice regarding her
beauty, wisdom, charm and accom
plishments. She shines among the
girls as Venus among the stars, and
her gown—Worth had nothing on the
local dressmaker who gets 30 cart
wheels for making it. The editor gets
an invitation to the graduation which
sets him back four bucks. And the
invite was printed in a neighboring
job office.
The young lady goes off to college
and the “girls” give her a farewell
party. The editor runs a cut of the
maiden which cost him three buck s
and gives the party a solid column
hoping he will get an extra ten-inch
ad. The girl’s mother calls for ten
copies of the paper to send to her
folks back east and looks surprised
wjien she is charged 50 cents and
tells her husband not to give the edi
tor the extra ten-nich ad on account
of it.
While she is away to college she
falls in love with a lemon who has
looked her dad up in Bradstreet. She
brings him home and puts him on ex
hibition. The editor, however, is the
cr.e who sells the young lemon to the
town by calling him a rising young
business man. So, the neighbors con
sent to letting the girl marry hkn and

so of flesh each time. The doctor
gets his fifty bucks—if the father-in

eternal pasture. The editor prints a
beautiful obituary, a piece of poetry
and a card of thanks and loses the
merchant’s advertising forever be

editor does more for his town and
gets Jess thanks for it than any hun
dred men in the community. So,
w r hen you meet one of them on the
street today, greet him pleasantly.
He may have to write your obituary
some day.”—Muncy (Pa.) Luminary.
