Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 June 1900 — War His Preference. [ARTICLE]

War His Preference.

When Charles Dudley Warner was editor of the Hartford Press, back In the ’6os, arousing the patriotism of the States by his energetic appeals, one of the typesetters came in from the com-posing-room one day, and, facing Mr. Warner, said: “Mr. Warner, I’ve de elded to enlist In the army." With mingled emotions of pride and responsibility Mr. Warner replied that It pleased him that the man felt the call to duty. “Oh, it isn't that," said the truthful compositor, “but I’d rather be shot than set your copy.”—Hartford Courant.
