HOW I BECAME AN IwE EDITOR. We have two paperm at Vorville, wail the Terriflier and the Avenger. Th low, Terrifier is a red-hot, lire-eatin dect Denmocrqtic sheet, and the Aveidg re pulls of its coat and spits on its they hands for the Reptlublicant side of the fildi ticket. The destinies of the Terrn- Whil fier are presided over by Triomnpson t6 I -a Dm)ncrat of the most approved ruin I style; one who had, according to his hin i editorals, left a limb on every ibattle- swo field of the civil war, and one, as he thi 5 emphatically asseerted, who was still nis' en a ed in business at the old stand tIrn i an always ready to dispose of a few tine more limnb for the sake of his bleed- five s ink country. 1Phil Watterson, the and - editor of the Avenger, was an Ohio -tl oman and a Republican of the deepest freq Sdye. Hle also occasionally favored evei his readers with a little oflils person. tow fal record dluring the "late unpleas- tion It antness.' Ile afrirned frequently sonl that he had swanm in blood uip to his had neck on every battle-tfield of the war, 'till ' and had twioi wadded across the At- indi - lantic ocean in search of aid for his hari mf etricken country. Both editors were, exp e of course, bitter personal enemies, rice o and the way they - poured chained '; lightning into each other's ranks I' would have mnade a volcano tremble, grow pale and take down his sign. , d Last summer the editor of the Terri tlier went North to be gone three wiil b, weeks, and justbefore hlie left lie came t to me and requested that I assume goer control of the Terrifier during his ab. se sence. I told him that I was inex- ot It n periencd and would make a failure ea 4, of the thing, but he laid hlie knew I , i wouldn't, and begged so hard that I ll 0 finally accepted the position-feeling wel as blue and sick about it as a dog, on g though, all the time. cou n 'Now, Vox,' said he, 'I want you the 1- while I'm absent to give old Watter- Sm e son of the Avenger and his white- ( m- livered crew the best in the shop- the 1- just literally rip 'em to pieces in fie d every issue-don't leave 'em ait hair to on their heads, and I'll write red hot a io letters occasionally ijust to lot e'm l 0 know that I'm still kicking. Good-B I' bye, old fellow, and don t fall to l r, knock old Watterson sky-high.' I lik is shuddered and felt cold all over for de II Watterson was a powerfully built i in man and the equal of Yankee Sulli- any van any day. He left, and summon- aft e inlg up all the courage I could coma- dIn l. iand, I went down to the otffice the Snext morning and began work. I sh if hasrily clipped a lot of miscellaney Is for the outside, dashed off a few id locals, and then sat down to sling off do' 1e something 'red-hot' for Watterson rs and his crowd. I sat for an hour anild ' º' couldn't get up the ghost of an idea Bt le until at last I was reminded of a lit Os tle story I once heard abount Watter Al son. Humor said that he had mar ried ait widow up in Kentucky for her e ione)y, and then had poisoned her ;, and shot his miotlher-in-lawn to pro i vent her telling, and then had tied to -t. Mississippi with his ill-gotton Pains. cli This I worked up in all its horrid de ec, tails; described the brutality of the 11- villain-the beauty anid accomiipl1ish Irs iients of his innocent victimns-indl finally wound up by denouncing Wat- ii terson in terms that would make the o rs- Okolona States or the Lemars Senti- Io no nel burst wide open with envy. In a my closing sentence I struglingly ad a cl vised the citizens of Voxvilie to hang A1 Is, WaVtterson ilimmiiediately-4poke of the uix danger of having such a ianii turined i." loose on good society, etc., etc., or tli gA, not (aid confess here, confidentially c a- that I added a few sensational para- ca tly graphs, miierely for effect)-I wanted a somnethiiii to make the Avenger al- stand on its head, and that article tid filled the bill exactly. When it was im finished I called in the foreman, read t (S- it to him arid iisked hiis opinioni. thi I." 'Oh, excellent!' said he, 'hut I tell A, tee you, Mr. Vex, you'd better look out tli mo for your scalp mufter this thing sees , lat the light-Watterson is a regular old In as grizzly, and he'll make things dev- th a lish v warm for yell.' ti iig, I tremibled arid was inclined to de- 1i no stroy the article, but that would nev- II Ily er do now aiiice I had shown it to the fe 13d foreman. So I gave it to him and Is of told him to "set it up." Then I went am oor downi town and purchiased three re- of ds, Ivolvers. Trho next day the article tl the came out in pointed sLnaig-two col ing unurs and a half, arnd comitairiod cm w o enough exclamation points to stock a er- circus troupe. After the paperI had a been delivered, I could see groups of tl excited men all down the street read aid ing the article and genticulating a ouli wildly in the direction of my office. I' are aid I'll tell you honestly niy blood 1, I', ran cold. I endeavored to compose a (ut mnyself, however, for I knew I'd have tj mini to fight Watterson that very day. I , nto got my pistols ready, sent tie' oflice p an boy dowin town to get ne three or d fl3 four Bowie knives, aud tIhen sat down r n a to puruse the Herald.
