but what is to become of me on sun day doctor juniper ventured to in- quire j miss mahala didnt know she had her j soul to look after that was very certain and she couldnt reconcile his sunday i

nanny for doctor juniper had profited from his experience the future newspaper in a recent address of the ohio press assocation whitelaw head of the new york trilunf said 1 do not believe that the daily newspaper ofltf will give many more pages than that of 10 bookmak ing is uot journalism even magazine- making is not journalism the business of a daily newspaper is to print the news of the day in such compass that the aver age reader may fairly expect to master it daring the day without interfering with his regular business when it passes be yond these limits it ceases to be a news paper aud it ceases to command the wide support which is essential to its sriccess a feeling of annoyance arises in the mind of a reader who has put into his hands in the morning more matter than he can find time to read during the day he does not want to skip any of it because he feels that if he does so he may be muuing he ought to get he can not possibly read it and at least in a feeling of irritation be abandons the paper bays a smaller one in its stead skims that and assumes that if it was properly edited he has missed nothing of real importance he does not wish great masses of undigested mfwi thrust upon him in balk that he may take oat what he wants he insists that mb editor shall do this for him shall select the sal ient points and present them with reason able compass it would make no difference if you offered him the undigested mass at the same price with the compact summary he will pay just as moch for half the matter if put in manageable shape the great revolution of the future in news papers is not therefore to be in doubling their size in doubling the quantity of matter they give or in doubling the mul titude of bubjecte they already treat pleasantries a

necktie mr emery storrs the chicago lawyer tells a storrof a man who bought a bill of goods for 1 500 thefirm being suspici ous of their customer put 1300 on the usual prices the customer could only raise 1200 which was the regular rate the rest being in excess he said he would give hisnote for the remainder and they took it then he said he was in the habit of recovering a present on making so large a bill they gave him a necktie he bitter ly objected to such a mean little present the proprietors concluded to present him with his note for the s300 i think i will prefer the necktie ii its

trusty rifle failed him again he loaded and fired bat the game didnt even wink taft was surprised be cause the mark was perfect and the rifle was usually reliable he fired again with the former result well said taft still eyeing the woodchuck that beats me not willing to give up he tried onoe more bat failed then losing confidence in his rifle he started to run down the woodchuck bat as he approached it he recognized the locality and realized that he had f alien into the trap set for the other fellow did not ask baby is very exacting at table her mother has in consequence been obliged
