The Newspaper Han.
rj lie newspaper man is an ani
mal that is quite common in the
South-west, where he is used by
the citizens as beasts of burden.
Ho bass two eyes (unless one
has at some time or another been
knocked sky west and crooked
by some irate citizen whom he
roasted), two ears, generally one
nose, one mouth and one wife.
Il;s 'ogs, which are two, are
very useful to him when danger
ihreatens. They are fastened to
th« lower end of his body, and in
most cases extend all the way
down to the ground, where they
that ten out like two gigantic corn !
dodgers.
iS noetimes a newspaper man
Iw i eul hair on his head and well
idgh human ears are often hung
on m a li fe-like manner. This has
n > v and then caused somebody
to mistake him for a real human
being, buthappily this mistake
is rare, seldom occuring to ea.
newspaper man (more than on
during a life time.
The newspaper man is always
conceded to be the mostdocile o!
all domestic animals. Now and
then one finds a hooker in ihf
herd but when taken young anci
properly managed, they can
nearly all be tamed. After he is
tamed, he will do anything t<
please., hisl master. Lie works
day and night. He gets into th<
habit of working all the time. Ht
tries to boom the town. The
people don’t appreciate it, but he
doesn’t expect them to.
All he wants to get out of life,
all he expects to get,?isj his* vict
uals and health.
He gets into the newspaper
habit, and this habit, when once
formed, is hard to overcome.
We. have known a great many
newspaper men who took up tin
habit early and followed it un:
they —starved.

Day after day and night after
night,'uhe newspaper •,».n goes
on with his habit of work; while
his neighbors are resting from
the noon heat, ht^lis at work;
while the town loafer sits on the'
portck.and spins his yarn, he is
at work, and when the townffis
wrapped in slumber, the lightcan
be seen burning away through
his window, and you know he is
at work.
He lives for others. When you
are troubled, it is the newspaper
man.who is ready to offer you a
word of encouragement.
He sympathizes with humanity.
When you laugh, he laughs when
you cry, he is sorry; when your
wife presents you with a bounc
ing baby boy,ihejjjjoyfully n.-r it
in print; when the blushing bride
goes from the parental roof to
a home of henowu. jhe records
the date of her happy marriage
and speaks a •• w< rd that will
be cherished by her children in
after years; and when death en
ters your home and lays low one
of the fairest flowers, he
stands by the open grave with
heavy heart and tearful eyes
feeling your anguish from the
great depth of his soul.—Ex.
