Rhine ore-" waa monkeying around a carpenter shop In Lenta. H. whit tied soma little blocks 'and actually made an alphabet. Then he rigged a sort of well, a machine that would look something like our let ter press of today. He arranged his blocks In order, put soma ink on ti-em. also a piece of paper, and then screwed his press down. That waa called printing. Old Gutenberg made a howUng success of tha racket, and his head became so swollen that he really snubbed the king one day. The king overlooked It, however, for be had an Idea what kind ot fellows printers would be. Well, finally they got the print ing system down pat. sod, as th centuries rolled by, began printing newspapers first person.

A newspaper Is a great deal like th. human body; If Its circulation Is good. It prospers: otherwise, otherwise.

II a fellow wants anything trouble, a wife, a house don't make any difference what tt Is h. can get It by means of a small ad. Included in the "wast" column are "For Sale," "For Rent," "Lost," "Found." "Stolen" and "Miscel laneous." Now, Just see what chumps some people are! Why, a man has been known to hunt over a city this city for days looking for a house in which to live.
