Those unacquainted with the rou- tine of a newspaper office have little idea of the létters and telephone calls which come to an editor's desk with requests for all sorts of information. The most frequent purpose of these inquiries is the deciding of bets, and the harassed journalist is expected to stand and deliver authoritative and accurate, information on every con- ceivable subject, ranging from the age of Jobn L. Sullivan or the date of the Birchall murder to the pro- ceedings of the Diet of Worms or the tranglation of a Sanscrit word. As a close second to the man who backs his opinion with his money comes the ingenuous youth of either sex who has been deputed to uphold one side of a debate, and the editor is asked to furnish a full list of authorities on the chosen subject, or even to draft & line of argument which will floor the opposing side. The follow- ing letter, received in the office of a Montreal newspaper, is a sample of the quaint and unconseious effrontery of these seekers after knowledge. "To the Editor,--As .a reader, pme a description of 'The Deserted Village' and also the description of a 'Dingy' Ceartroom.' In doing so you will be. doing me a great favor, as 1 am very much interested in this matter, which is helping me along in my school studied.
