THE EDITOR'S TROUBLES
It Bomotimes aconis to mo that
moro untownrd circumstances, to
ubo a rathor high-sounding term for
trouble, gloom, grief, errors, and
other unpleasant Incidents, happen
In a country print shop than any
othor placo of cqunl floor area on
God's gay and green footstool.
The Times offlco has hcon tho
sceno of soveral tho past week. Tho
troublo otarted a week ago when
tho foreman mot with an accldont
which Incapacitated him. This dur
Inc tho busy holiday rush put an
extra burden on all in tho odlco.
In tho ruBh moro than tho usual
quota of orrors cropt Into tho papor,
but tho climax pub on an extra
cap last night whou a sorlos of ty
pographical orrors roTolcd and
rioted In tho columns. First, my
frlond, "Bob Stanley" had a poom
on "Christmas Troubles," hut tho
man with Christmas troubles would
think thorn trifles light as air com-
and found It bungled and butchorad
becauso a half lino had been drop
ped In tho first part of tho pootn
which rendered tho romalndor
senseless. Ho was mado to wrlto
of "mlmmercd brass" and put up
"frones," whatever they may bo,
"Misfortunes novor como singly,"
and according to our old friend
Llndley Murray, or whoovor It was
that Invented grammar, It Is not
strange, becauso "misfortunes" be
ing plural cannot bo singular. Any
way, a llttlo later tho editor found
tho inonu of tho refreshments
sorved at the Arago Hotel ball nt
Empire was turned upsldo down
and twisted out of Bhapo, begin
ning with "nuts," and ending- with
"soup." Thoro woro others, but
those two wcro BUfllclont for a ban
quet of brickbats. TIicbo two nr
tides aro roprlntcd herowlth in a
moro nearly correct form to pro
servo a hotter record of things

Christmas Troubles
ny
HOD STANLEY.
I'm waiting for tho holldnys, and trying to devise somo waya nnd
moans by which I won't offend somo ono who calls himself my frlond,
by some cheap present I must Bond. This follow always Bonds to mo
somo presont costly as can bo and makes mo feel I must return a
mastorploco In painting, urn or hamraorod brass bodockod with forn,
or somothlng olso that costs a mint. That's why I always have to
Btlnt and etarvo, and wear old clothes, and. savo, and posb up nil things
that I crave, and yot, put up a front that's bravo, whon Christmas timo
1b drawing noar. Ho makes mo worry half n year about tho things I
havo to buy to sond nlong with ray roply in which I thank him with
a sign. When ho Ib Bonding mo somo prizo in Jowolry that hurts my
eyes, ho doesn't know Bomotlmos I soak his presont with somo Hobrow
bloko, so I can mako roturns, whon broko.
I do not wish to bo a "Spug," a hold-up man, or thlof, or thug,
but I will Buroly fall from graco unloss this friend of mine will
chaso his costly presents past my placo.
Tho troublo with this Christmas gamo lies in tho fact wo do
not namo a limit when wo start to play. Our frlonds got wild- and run
away, and wo must borrow It wo stay. I always llko to havo a
frlond send something to mo that will spend him Just about what I
can stand. I don't want anything that's grand, so cut tho price to
beat tho band.
