Horan got angry, slammed on his hat and announced that he would get i one himself.

The e:;y editor sent his men out to get a : picture of Mr. Windom. By aud by Mr. Horan appeared, bearing an enor mous framed picture under one arm. "I got it." he announced cheerfully. "When I go after a picture I get it." The city editor leaped for him. soil ed the picture and then threw it down noisily. "That." said he tersely, "is not a pic ture of the secretary of the treasury." ■■What do you care about the secre tary of the treasury?" replied Horan defiantly. "That's a picture of the next champion of the world I”—Chica go News. A Shakespearean Abysm.
