Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1911 — EDITOR WAS ASLEEP [ARTICLE]

EDITOR WAS ASLEEP

And Got Carried By His Station About a Hundred Miles —So HE Says. Editor McCullough of Remington was in the city a few hours Wednesday on his way home from Hammond. He attended the auto races—not at Hammond, but the Indianapolis races. He took a sleeper home on the Monon Tuesday night and intended to get off at Monticello. But the porter was unable to raise the tired newspaper man at the White county capital, and when he was finally released from the arms of Morpheus the train had reached the Hammond yards. He returned to Rensselaer on the next train and ’phoned over to Remington for an auto to come over and transport him home. Of course if a republican editor had such a mishap we would know what the trouble was, but John is a democrat and never dfinks anything stronger than ginger ale—-not ginger ale highballs, we don't mean, but the plain stuff without the highball ingredient—but if his; wife had been with him we’ll bet it wouldn’t have happened.
