HOW EDITORS GET RICH.
Here Is The Secret of Their Suc
cess. Afier a great deal of worry and
study we have ai last figured out
how so many country editors get
rich. Here is the 'secret of their
success. There is a child born the
in the neighborhood. The attend
ing physician gets $ 1 0. The editor
gives the loud-lunged youngster a
great send-off and get $00. It is
christened and the minister gets $5
and the editor gets $00. It grows
and marries. The editor publishes
another long winded flowery arti
cle and tclis a dozen different lies
about "the beautiful and accom
plished bride." The minister gets
$10 and a piece of cake. The ed
itor gets $000 and a request to
carry the groom's subscription ac
count another year. In the course
of time she dies.
The doctor gets from $5 to $ 1 00
and the minister gets from $5 to
$100, the editor publishes a notice
of death and an obituary two col
umns long, lodge resolutions, a lot
of poetry and a card of thanks and
gets $0,000. No wonder so many
country editors get rich. Ex.
NO BENEFITS.
SENATOR KEY PITTMAN
"FORCIVE AND FORGET."
O, forgive and forget, for this life is too fleeting
To waste it in brooding o'er wrongs we have met
It is better, far better, to smother our anger,
To teach the proud heart to forgive and forget.
O forgive and forget, O forgive and forget;
O teach your proud heart to forgive and forget.
In the path we must tread, leading down to the valley,
Are crosses and trials to lift and to bear;
And the chalice of life, from which we are now drinking,
Oft bears to our lips drops of sorrow and care.
O forgive and forget, O forgive and forget;
O teach your proud heart to forgive and forget.
But this life is so short, be it sunshine or shadow,
That we cannot afford to brood o'er a wrong;
Let us lift up our burdens and bear them on bravely;
We'll lay them. down shortly, it cannot be long.
O forgive and forget, O forgive and forget;
O teach your proud heart to forgive and forget.
Then forgive and forget, if the friends we loved fondly
Prove themselves to be false and unworthy of trust;
O! deal with them kindly, for they are but mortals,
And erring like us, for we, too, are but dust.
O forgive and forget, O fdrgive and forget;
O teach your proud heart to forgive and forget.

An old citizen in a country

fence of the graveyard, declined
saying:

NOT A QUADRUPED.
"You can't go out like that,
my dear, I can see right through

"Why, what do you see?"
"Two legs."
"Well, that's all I've got !"-Life.
ALL THE VAY.
When you come to a wearisome bit in the road,
Where the stones are thick and the path is steep.
And the back is bowed with the heft of the load,
As the narrowing way is hard to keep,
Don't stop just then for a wasteful sigh,
But challenge the worst with a steadfast cheer;
If nowhere else, there is help on high
God's angel will hasten your pioneer.
When you reach a lonesome bit of the road,
Curtained about with mist and murk,
And hear faint sounds from the dead above,
Where shivering grim hobgoblings lurk,
Just laugh to scorn their doleful cries
This is the place to whistle and sing;
Brush the fog from your fearless eyes,
And close to the faith of your fathers cling.
When you stand at a sorrowful bit of the road
And a hand you love has loosed its clasp
When streams are dry that in sweetness flowed,
And flowers drop from your listless grasp
E'en now take heart, for farther on
There is hope and joy and the dawn of day;
You shall find again what you thought was gone,
'Tis the merry heart goes all the way.
