HARD LINES
Are Those Which the Newspa
per Man Finds in His Post.
Did you ever consider what a hard
task it was to grind out a certain
amount of matter daily or weekly
and repeat the dose day in uud day
out? If you have never brought
your mind to the contemplation of
this task, you have never fully ap
preciated the hard lines which a
poor devil of a newspaper man has,
in the absorbing drama of life. Os
course, when the mind is teeming
with ideas and the mental innchin
ery is well greased with apt words
to fit them, the labor is trivial; but
even with most fertile brains, and
the best equipped vocabularies, theie
comes a time when the ebb of thought
is low and the old machine refuses
to go.
These arc the times that try the
newspaper man's soul. He knows
that be must write; he sees the empty
“copy hook” glaring at him, and also
the printer’s “devil,” who has con e
down to remark that all the com
positors arc out and the paper will
have to go to press with a column or
so of “dead matter ’ unless some
thing is done at once. 1 hen the
newspaper man squares himself to
his desk; lie resharpens his pencil
for the nine hundredth time, and
drums his nose sore for an idea; he
runs his hand busily through his
hail' and finally rakes up some rem
iniscence about .John Smith, and
gets licked after the paper comes out
for his pains.

P' curb the flow of our eloouence when
,u< we approach the business.
But in honor bright, if you appre
ciated good thing when it is set before
you and know a bargain when you
see it, you must not fail to visit our
place this week.
The fall trade is coming on, and as
we intend putting in one of the larg
est stocks ever brought to the city,
we must make room.
But what shall we do with our
present stock? dutnp it in the street?
Not quite; but we'll do the nest
thing—just slash the price below the
middle and let it go.
Oh! our place will be a slaughter
pen for the next week or two, and
bargains will be standing around
with tears in their eyes begging for
quarter.
We have spoken about mosquito
bars, you still need them, and will
for some time to come. You can get
a long one selling heretofore for
$1.75 for $1.25.

prices which we are afraid to men
tion —it would chagrin the goods.

we will let go at 25 cents. Think
of it
Then, ih children’s aprons we have

WHAT IS IN IT? !
A Mysterious Trunk Found ya
Negro
In the Swamps of Turtle River—The
Stench Is Dredful—A Searching
Party Sent Out by The
Post.
*
Two negroes, Arnold Smith and
Sam Demar, arrived ai the city Inst
! night bringing the news of what may
1 prove a lively sensation. The stoiy
told a Post reporter by Smith and
Dunn is as follows;
“We were coming to the city last
night to purchase some goods. The
tide was going Out, and we were row-1
ing lesurely down the river admiring!
the landscape and scenes of Bruns
wick by night. When near the
island called ‘Buzzard’s Roost’
| close to the edge of the swamp we
were very much surprised to see a
number of buzzards and carrion
crows fly up from the ground.
; Through idle curiosity we steered
i the boat toward that, spot. When
near the bank we saw a large box or
trunk with one end embedded in the
mud and from which a very offensive
odor arose. We made several unsuc
cessful efforts to reach the trunk.
The vultures were all the while cir
cling urouud us in great numbers.
By this time the stench was so great
we came to the conclusion that the
remains of some person were encased
in die trunk and we hurriedly left
the place.”
Smith in his own grim way ex-1
pressed his opinion thus: • l*c!ar lb
Gared, boss, 1 blebs dat sumbody is
ded in lat ar trunk sho.”
At half pasften o’clock to-day a
Post reporter was dispatched to the
scene v. ith Smith and Dunn to in
vestigate the mistery which promi
ses extraordinary and startling de
, vclopments. To to the hour of going
'to press the searchers had not re
turned.
Tin: Post, as usual “gets there
with the latest news and will in this
case sustain its reputation by giving
its readers the latest developments
in this strange mystery.

How “Idlewild” Wm Named.
Idlewild, the home of N. P. Willis,
■ on the Hudson, is almost as celebrated I
as Mount Vernon, where Washington
lived so long. The way it eame to re
ceive its rather odd name is interesting.
Mr. Willis loved the Hudson river and
its beautiful and picturesque environs,
and be spent much time searching for
the : pot be finally selected. It was a j
rough old farmer who sold him his
property. The man tried to impress
Mr. Willis with the value <if tbo land for
farming purposes, told l.im what it
could be made to yi ’.l in a year and
how much stone l:e I:.. ’ taken from it
and underbrush bo bed burned, think
ing this the most valuable information
Is- could give him. But Mr. Willis was 1
not at all interested in these matt 1-3.
What he wanted was a fine view of the
river and nature in all its loveliness.
The cultivation <-f the land was pre
cisely what lie did not care about.
He wandered about the place with
! the farmer, undetermined whether to
buy it or not, when they camo to c
splendid gorge, whose magnificent beau
ty satisfi .-J all the longings of the poet
and dreamer, lie stopped and gave
vent to a burst of enthusiasm and asked
tlie farmer what he would take forthat
portion of his property. The man stared
in amazement and evidently thought
his customer was a madman; but eager i
to dispose Os this uncultivated waste ol I
land, as he thought it, he said: “That bit
of idlewild! That is not good for much;
you may have it for such a price,” on-.t
he named a low figure. Mr. Willis
bought the property on the spot, an 4
decided at once that it should be called
“Idlewild.’’—New York Press.
