A Lucky Editou. Fred. Iludeon
for many years managing editor of
tho New York Herald, was surely
born undor a lucky star. Bennett re
cently gave bira two years' leave of

recently tbo Herald Club gavo him a
gold watch and chain and a bcnutifuK
ly- bound book containing an addresR,
with all tho autographs of the Club.
Editors would not object to seo this
