A man stopped us on the street the
other day and said we did not publish
all the things that happened. We
should say we don't In the first
place, there's somebody else depend
ing on us for a living. If we publish
ed all that happened we would soon be
with the angels. In order to please
the people we must print only the nice
things said about them and leave the
rest to gossip. Yes, it's a fact, we
don't print all the news. If we did
wouldn't it make spicy reading? But
it would be for one issue ' only. The
next would contain our obituary, and
there would be a new face In heaven.
"All the news" is all right when it's
about the other fellow.
A boy who was required to write an
essay on hens produced the following:
"Hens are curius animals; they don't
have no noses nor no teeth nor no ears,
they swallow their whittles whole and
chew It up in their crops inside of 'em.
The outside of hens is generaly put in
to pillers'and into feather duster. The
inside of a hen is sometime filled with
, marbles and shirt buttons and sich. . A
hen is very much smaller than a good
many other animals, but they'll dig up
more tomato plants than anything that
ain't a hen. Hens is very useful to
lay eggs for plum puddings. Hens
have got wings and carl fly when they
get frightened. I cut off a hen's head
with a hatchet and It frightened her to
death."
You often see mother trying to
"make" something out of hjr daugh
ter, by giving her music lessons, and
even sometimes the mother will take
an interest In her son, with a view of
"making" something out of him. But
' did you ever see a woman trying to
""make" anything out of her husband?
' With a little assistance, many a man
: might do a lot of clever things, to the
: glory of his wife and family.' But a
vwoman never thinks of trying to assist
iher husband. She thinks of him as a
Ihopeless brute and decides that if her
lamily ever amounts to anything, it
must come as a result of her daugh
ters wonderful piano playing.
