WOMAN EDITOR'S TRIALS.
WAS THOROUGHLY DISCOURAGED
t
WITH JOURNALISM WANT
ED TO STEP DOWN.
The beautiful young girl who
had graduated only a year before
with the highest honors uished
into the family sitting-room and
flung herself with a storm of
sobs upon the sofa.
"What is it, my dear?" asked
her father, soothing her gently.
"Has anything happened to diss
courage you?"
"Papa," said the maiden, raiss
ing her tear stained face, "1 a.n
done with journalism forevc.
When you allowed me to pur
chase that weekly paper I
thought that no occupatian on
earth could be so noble, so ele
vating and powerful to scatter
good and wisdom throughout the
world. When I began editing
the paper everything appeared
bright and rose-colored.
"My editorials were praised by
the entire Texas press, and I got
flattering words of encourage
ment from even the large dailies.
I was, oh, so proud of the fact
that, althoxigh a woman, I had
been admitted as an equal mem
ber of the greit brotherhood that
exercises such an influence upon
the mind and morals of the
people. Last week I wrote a
general criticism of an article
that appeared in a little weekly
in another county. This, papa
this is what I find in the next
issue of that hoi rid paper.
The lovely gijl handed her
father the paper and buried her
head upon the sofa pillows, while
he read the following.-
"We would say to the loathe
some, knock kneed, piebald
jabber wrack, that infests the ed
itorial dugout of the Weekly
Herald keep your shirt on!
The disgusting, idiotic drivel
that emulates from the clapper
pawed, squirrel-headed, slab
sided puddle duck that spoils
paper for that sewer pipe of
jurnalism should get a pair of
buckskin, kick-proof pants, or
else quit squirting such jobs of
back-handed putrified slime at
decent papers. If the hump
backed, putty-faced vermin re
ferred to doesn't like our re
marks we will call any day and
scatter a few locks of hair and
brass buttons around said office
or forfeit a year's subscription."
Papa," said the girl graduate,
in a small, but decided voice, "I
want you to buy me a cook book
and some long aprons; I'm going
to stay at home and help mother
about the house." Houston Post.
If you've ot bad blood in you take
Simmons Liver Regulator and get rid
of it. It's a wonderfully good medi
cine for Malaria and. Chills. ' "I have
taken Simmons Liver Regulator espe
cially in the Spring and Fall, and
found it the best remedy I know of
110 way to benefit people more than by
putting Simmons Liver Regulator into
their-hands. " N. N. Shepard, Coch
nu! ton, Pa.
Diversified Crops.
The Augusta (Oa.) Chronicle,
of a recent date, ii the following
paragraph, shows that the farm
ers of Georgia are diversifying
their crops to a greater extent
than ever be-'bre, and that they
are deriving great profit by so
doing:
"There can be no doubt that
the iarmers of Georgia are mark
eting more of their products
than ever before. " A diversified
;crop has enabled them, in a great
measure, to adopt the motto of
the model farmer: '.'No day
without a sale." Merchants of
Augusta say they do not remem
ber the time prior to two years
ago when the farmers oi Augusta
territory had offered oats, wheat
and corn for sale. Such, how
ever, is no uuusal transaction.
Corn is frequently offered to the
millers here by several large
fanners in carload lots, at a rate
as cheap as that of the West.
These farmers are not compelled
to part with their products, but
sell simply as a money crop,
leaving plenty at home for their
own use.
If those admiring Tennessee
ans who sent McKinley a stump
to speaks from had wanted to
present him with something
that will be really useful, they
should have sent him a hollow
log. He will need it to crawl
into after the election. Kansas

An exchauge came to us last
week with a blue mark around
an editorial booming a candi
date for office.
A printed slip pasted to the
piper kindly req ic-sted us if we
said anything about the caudi-.
date's candidacy to send him a
marked copy ol the piper.
We didn't do it.
We ain't going to do it.
We ain't sa ing a word.

Unless,
The cash is in sight.
And we can see the smiling of
the Goddess of liberty on one
side of the dollar of our dads and
count the tail feathers in the
great American eagle on the
other.
In times past we have given
away columns of paper and
reams of paper and great gobs of
ink in a political campaign.
And what did we get in re
turn for it?
Noshing but the privilege of
wading in the mud behind the
band wagon and spilling coal oil
on our only coat and getting
shot in the eye with a Roman
candle.
But times have changed and
our feelings have changed.
Everything has changed ex
cept our pockets.
There is no change there.
We are a Democrat but we
ain't no pack mule to carry can
didates into office and get the
cold shoulder.
And perhaps the cold mutton
after the election.
Our enthus.asm is gone.
It his leaked through the
holes in our elbows and escaped
through the appertures in our
pants.
Glory is a good thing but cold
cash is better.

reverberate throughout these
