After a good deal of study and worry We have it at last “figured” out why so many ed¬ itors get rich. Here is the se¬ cret of their success: A child is born in the neighborhood; the attending physician gets $L0, the editor gives the loud lunged young¬ ster and the “happy parents” a send off and gets $ 0 It is , christened, and the minister gets $5 and the editor gets $ 00 , It grows up and marries; the editor publishes another long winded, flowery article and tells a dozen lies about the “beautiful and accomplished bride.” The minister gets $10 and a piece of cake and the editor gets $000, In the course of time it dies; the doctor gets from $5 to $ 100 , the minister perhaps gets another $ 5 , the undertaker gets from $25 to $ 50 , the editor publishes a no tice of the death, an obitnary two columns long, lodge and society resolutions, a lot of po¬ etry and a free card of thanks, and gets $0000, jto. wonder so many country editors get rich.—Argus.
