To run a newspaper successfully a man has merely to be able to write poems, discuss the tariff and money questions umpire a baseball game, report a wedding, saw wood, describe a fire sothat the readers will shed their wraps, make $1 do the work of $10, shine at a dance, measure calico, abuse the liquor habit, test whiskey, subscribe to charity, go without meals attack free silver, wear diamonds, invent advertisements, sneer at snob- bery, overlook scandal, appraise bab- ‘ies, delight pumpkin raisers, adminis- ter to’ the afflicted,, lead the dis- gruntled, fight toa finish, set type, mold opinions, sweep out the office, speak at the prayer meeting, and stand in with everybody. And in ad- dition to the above essentials the poor editor has to print a paper once a week.—Publishers Auxiliary. _ The “Co, H.” basket ball team of fe
