Not Pure Reading Matter.

The advertiser was angry. He said he did not care so much for the fact that two names.in the reading notice were misspelled as he did for the position given the advertisement. “I thought I told you I wanted It printed next to pure reading matter," he said. “Certainly, sir,” replied the advertising clerk, “and I myself looked after it. There isn’t another advertisement on that page.” “What of that?” “What of that! Why, isn’t it between the two biggest pieces of news in the paper? What did you want?” “What I said, sir—a position next to pure reading matter. Now, it has a society scandal on one side of it and a divorce case on the other, and I won’t stand it, sir; I won’t stand it.”—Jury.
