The Maker* of Newspapers, Nowhere in the world, perhaps ̂in any field of endeavor, do men labor under such tremendous pressure and maintain such a terrific pace as the newspaper workers. It is a pace that makes men old at 40--an age when in other profes­ sions they might be first firmly estab­ lishing themselves. The making of a metropolitan daily is the fiercest, bitterest, most exhausting struggle in the world. 34 Every man in the office is constantly the on jump. Minds are trained to work at railroad speed, to make instant decis­ ions, and the wear and tear is frightful. The heaviest burden naturally falls upon those in authority. They do not long stand the strain. I have seen three men whom I numbered among my friends go insane while in executive positions. During the Spanish-American war, when the souls of newspaper men were tried as never before, I saw one of the ablest journalist that New York has produced in the last decade leave the composing room, where he was "making up," and rush through the editorial rooms, a rav­ ing maniac, still clutching proofs in his hands. He died a few weeks later, with­ out recovering his reason. His associates were shocked and grieved, but it never occurred to them to be frightened. The third victim died a few weeks ago, rav­ ing like the others. With two or three exceptions, the managing editors of metropolitan dailies are less than 40 years old. Truly it is the pace that kills. While the workers themselves have no real appreciation of the pressure at which they work, the proprietors have--which explains why three or four men are so trained that they can take charge of the different editions at a moment's notice Horace Greelv once said that the way to make a journalist was to make him sleep on newspapers and to feed hint on printer's ink.--frank Munse ̂ v, .

Drs. Baker & Hanly have been "exceed­ ingly successful in their work in this city and it is with regret that their friends see the partnership broken and witness the departure of Dr. H, H. Han­ ly from the city. Dr. Hanly is a prac­ titioner of whom all speak well, both as to his character as a man and his ability in bis chosen profession.

The Record joins with many friends in wish­ ing for Dr. Hanly the success lw de­ serves. --Oriwein (la.) Record. Vtlllilag an Ancestor.' A self made man with a taste for art, thinking he would like to have about his house some marble present­ ments of his ancestors, ordered of a fifth rate sculptor a bust of his grand­ father. In due time It was sent home, and after a few days, his admiration being exhausted, the wealthy man sent for his plumber. "I don't mind confessing to you," said the former, "that I don't appreci­ ate the fine arts unless they are turned to some useful purpose. Now, I have something to suggest to you." And he proceeded to give some In* structions to the tradesman. A week later, on the anniversary of his birthday, the millionaire pointed out with pride to his guests in the mid­ dle of bis conservatory the bust of his grandfather, from the top of whose head rose gracefully a jet of limpid water, falling Into a marble basin in which some fine gold and silver fish disported themselves.--Christian En­ deavor World.

Mr. Wayne then stepped forward and in a neat speech of perhaps five minutes duration presented the flag. Dyspepsia cannot be long lived be­ cause to live requires nourishment.
