Would Wait.
Editor of country paper (to publisher) —“I wish the mail would hurry up and come. If I don’t get some exchanges pretty soon I’ll have to hold back the paper, or fill up with original matter.” Publisher (who well knows the editor’s original matter)—“Hold back the paper. ” “How long?” “How long is the mail likely to be delayed?” “Two days, perhaps.” “Well, wait for it.” “I can fill up with original matter.” “Yes, and that’s the reason I want you to -wait.”—Arkansaw Traveler,
