No Fun Being President.

» R is not an *njoyabl* traat nomottmon to be *• editor « a paper, and mould public opinion at so much per mould, and get complimentary tickets to the sleight-of-hand performances, but with its care and worry, its heartaches and apprehensions, it is more comforting on the whole than being President ’ When we were a boy, and sat in the front row among the pale-haired boys with checked gingham skirts at the Sun-dny-school, and the teacher told us to live uprightly and learn a hundred verses of the Scriptures each week so that we could .be President, we thought that unniffl> d, calm, and universal approbation waited upon the man who successfully rose to be the executive of a great Nation. With years, and accumulated wisdom, however, we have changed our mind. Now we sit at our desk and write burning words for the press that will live and keep warm long after we are turned to dust and ash<s. We write heavj editorials on the pork outlook, amFsadly compose exhaustive treatises on the chinch-bug, while men in other walks of life go out into the health-promoting mountains, and catch trout and woodticks. Our lot is not, perhaps, a joyous one. We swelter through the long July days with our suspenders hanging in limp fggtoons down over our chair, while we wMB the death-dealing pen, but we do not want to be President. Our salary is smaller, it is true, but when we get through our work in the, middle of the night, and put on our plug hat and steal home through the allpervading darkness, we thank our stars, as we split the kindling and.bed down the family mule, that on the morrow, although we may be licked by the man we wrote up to-day, our official record can not be attacked. There is a nameless joy that settles down upon us as we retire to our simple couch on the floor, and pull thfe cellar door over us to keep us warm, which the world can neither give nor take away. We plod along, trom day to day, slicing great wads of mental pabulum from our bulging intellect, never murmuring nor complaining when lawyers and physicians put on their broad brim chip hats and go out to the breezy canyons and the shady glens to regain their health. We just plug along from day to day, eating a hard boiled egg from one hand while we write a scathing criticism on the qfic transit gloria cucumber with the other. No, we do not crave the proud position of President, nor do we hanker to climb to an altitude where forty or fifty millions of civilized people can distinctly see whether we eat custard pie with a knife or not. Once in a while, however, in the still ■ ness of the night, we kick the covers off, and moan in our dreams as we imagine that we are President, and we wake with the cold, damp sweat (or perspiration, at* the case may be) standing out of every pore, only to find that we are not President after all, by an overwhelming ma jority, and we get up and steal aw av t< the rainwater barrel and take a drink and go back to a dreamless, suorele.sleep, —Laramie Boomerang.

The Pot-Luck Club.

At a meeting of the Pot-Luok Club <*ch male member, according io premia*, contributed a specimen of the handiwork >u the culinary art, and the result was quite novel. “Here,” said the artist, sketching the ■ wentieth letter al the alphabet, “is a tracing of “ T.” His contribution was lighly esteemed. “And here,” said the printer, producng a handful of type, “is some ‘pi’ of ay own making. ” He said this in a one. “And I‘ve brought a hot goose,” said 'he tailor, dropping his iron on the table. He was greeted with hisses. “And I,” said the poet, with a Milesian ccent, proffering a manuscript “have iere some tender-loins.” His offering ..as voted very beellting. “And I hope,” said a sad and timid, ooking member, presenting his wife, • you will relish this ‘rib.’ ” And then e added in a stage of whisper: “ I an spare her, therefore she is a spare h ib.” The carpenter now stepped forward nd said he had prepared “a little lane board," —placing the board on the ■ ible as he spoke. The shoemaker said he thought some f the members needed a little brain food, herefore he had brought a “ sole.” also “tongue.” The former was pretty scaly.” “And here,” said a smart young man, ith a goneness in his voice, introducing « best girl, “ is a little drunk.” He was renounced “too fresh,” and his girl gave im the cold shoulder all the rest of the vening. Then a newspaper humorist east his ves over the assemblage, called it a rare meet,” poured somed gritty sub--1 ance out of a cone-shaped piece of aper, and made Joe Miller turn over in l is grave by remarking : “ The beet I . in do in the culinary line is the sand hichishere.” The club immediately adjourned out ■ f respect for bis gray-liaired pun, saytg that they didn’t want any “taffy” i > their dessert.— The Judge. Ebof. Stillman has excavated at ‘ laosso, in Crete, the remains of what 1 e supposes to be the historical laby* inth famous from the story of Thekous ;.ad the Minotaur. “I GO AGAINST my Will,” murmured ' sweetly, as she fondly leaned on i' illiam s arm, as they meandered to the meatre.
