He Knew How.

"How," asked the young man who had Jußt bought the village paper and desired to win prominence as an editor, “can I get the public to become interested in my Journal? I know the principal thing is to make a good paper, but if nobody takes it how will anyone find out that It is good? Something must be done to attract attentlon —to cause the people to understand that we are on earth.’ “That’ll be easy,” said the traveling printer, who had stopped oyer to assist In putting the patient on its feet. “Just print an item saying that a certain preacher in this town will get into trouble If be doesn’t cease paying attentions to a certain married member of his flock and cease quick. I’ll bet the paper containing that item won’t be off the press 40 minutes before there’s a copy of it in every house in this town.” —Chicago Record Herald.
