Journalistic Secret.

“Here is my poetry back from the editor. He doesn’t want it,” said Snobberly, dismally, as the letter-carrier banded him a large package. “Perhaps he lias not got room for it in liis paper.” “That’s wliat he says, but if be had a friendly feeling for me lie would publish it anyhow. I wish I knew some way of getting into that editor’s good graces.” “I can tell you how to make yourself popular with him.” “How is that; tell me?” “Don’t send him any more of your poetry.” —Texas Siftings.
