HARD LINES
Are Those Which the Newspa
per Man Finds in His Post.
Did you ever consider what a bard
task it was to grind out a certain
amount of matter daily or weekly
and repeat the dose day in and 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 mnehin
cry is well greased with apt words
to fit them. lh< »bor ,
even with most fertile brains, and
the best equipped vocabularies, there
conies a time when the ebb of thought
is low and the old machine refuses
to go.
These are the times that try the
newspaper man's soul. He knows
that he must write; he sees the empty
“copy hook” glaring at him, and also
the printer’s “devil,” who lias con e
down to remark that all thc.com
positors art 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. Then the
newspaper man squares himself to
lur desk; he resharpens his pencil

iniscenc.

no such difficulty in the business 1
am now engaged in. It is no trouble
at all to sit down und talk with the
many readers of Tin: Post about the
great bargains at the <*ALAIS
ROYAL. There is no want of ma
turial here, and a paucity of ideas is
an impossibility. Why, bless your
soul, we have to use a stiff bit to
curb the flow of our eloouenee when
we approach the business.
But in honor bright, if you -xppre
ciatela good thing when it is set before
you anti 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? dump 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
burs, you still need them, and will
for some time to come. You can get

Public Opinion Very Much Divided-
Two days ago Tur. Post published
several interviews with some of the
most prominent physicians in the
city.
They were read with great interest
I and have cause-i much common*.
On every side Post reporters have
heard much said on the subject,
I both pro and eon.
Dr. J. A. Butts, ojie of the must
prominent physicians in the city,
is bitterly opposed to the electrocu
tion as criminals. A Post reporter
exiled on him this morning and
i asked for his views. lie said: “Yes
I am bitterly opposed tQ the plan,
1 thinx it the must era i death a
I man could die. “Suppose you [dace
the tip of your finger against a coal
office, immediat. ly you fed the
: Hjost exevutiating paiti. If you take
an electrical shock job liftVC til?
same experience. Now increase the
current twenty timee and you fed u
burning or stinging sensation twen
ty times more powe’ful than fire.
; I But it is said that a person dies
i more quickly. Tliiw ! grant, but
‘ 1 Kennn’er was alive forty so unds
iafter the first shock. What terrible
agonies lie must have suffered. 1
I picture it like forty hours of roasting
I on a gridiron.
i The pain is felt just in proportions
