Some editors usa a pan to write with but some use- scissors. Lots of editors are Farisees. All editors lie. An editor is a man that likes gossip. All editors lie. An editor that can't lie ain't no good for an 3ditor. Women'd make good" editors, but editors have to keep se- crets. .A.n editor never makes any money. Once an editor got ten dollars and it made him crazy. An editor never wants any pay for his paper and , some people never think of paying an editor. When an editor gets a free ticket he has to give a dollar's worth of free advertising in advance. Most people know how to edit a paper better than the editors do. The only stumbling bJock is that they can't run them machines that set the type. If the editor asks for his pay for his paper, the fellow gets mad, so it is cheaper to borrow your neighbour's paper. Editors are not afraid of any man. I once knew a woman that frightened an editor and made him crawl under his desk. If you say nice things to an editor he will say nice things about you in his paper. This boy is said to have passed with honors. RESIDENCE FOR SALE Fine 9-Room Frame Dwetling GOOD LOCATION. HAS A GOOD CISTERN AND WELL. BARN AND STABLE. EXTRA LOT GOES WITH THIS PROPERTY.
