Breaking It to Him Gently.

Editor—Mr. Plumduff, you may make a little change in your column to-morrow morning. It takes up too much space. Cut it down one-half. Mr. Plumduff—Yes, sir. “Then the other half won’t need any special heading. Remove the heading.” “Yes, sir.” “And it needn’t be leaded. Run it in solid.” “Yes, sir.” “That will make it take np about a third of a column. ” “Yes, sir.” “And then it can go in any part of the paper wherever there is room for it.” “Yes, sir.” “And if there isn’t room it can be left out.” ‘'Y r -yes, sir.” “And it hardly seems worth while to keep it going, does it ?” “N-no, sir.” “You are right, Mr. Plumduff. Your resignation is accepted.”
