same sort.

One of the rather curious features of the newspaper business is that those who know how to conduct newspapers as they ought to be conducted are presumably never engaged in the business, and those who know just what genuine journalism is never indulge in newspaper work. Sometimes one wonders just why | this is, and the only illumination one I gets is when some one who knows j just how newspaper work ought to; be done tries his hand at the uplift Then it becomes evident that newspaper field is no place for a man j who really knows what a newspaper, ought to be. Through some perver-, sity of fate newspaper work must of; necessity be left to the bungling illiterates who grate on the nerves of the Browning interpreters and the Ibsen

experts.

Perhaps the perverted taste of the people may have something to do with it. It is of course below the comprehension of those who enjoy the occupation of figuring out just w hat Spencer and Chaucer were driv-

PUNS ANOTHER BUILDING

Andrew Black Buys Fu»Ier Property \t Corner of Indiana and Walnut Streets ami May Erecet a Business Block—Has Not Fully Decided What He Will l>o Vet.

THE DEAL WAS CLOSED MONDAY

Andrew Black has purchased the Fussier property at the corner of Indiana and Walnut Streets. The deal was closed Monday. Mr. Black, on Saturday, had sold his interest in the tii ! Bryan & Hamrick livery barn property to A. B. Hanna and S. C. Prevo. The latter will build a modern business block on the livery barn site. Mr. Black went to New Albany Monday and closed the deal for the Fussier property. The lot is 102 by j S5 feet. It has 102 feet frontage

on Indiana Street.

Mr. Black said that morning that he had not fully decided what he would do with the property. He said that it is possible that he will build a business block on his newly acquired land but he would not say what

of the fact that Mary has gone to Jimsburg. But, after all, Mary McAllister is a personage of quite as

much consequence to the people who know her and are interested in her as Ward McAllister was to the social circles of Newport and New York, and there is quite as much rhyme and reason in the local newspaper's notation of her trip to Jimsburg as there is in the columns upon columns of matter printed in the metropolitan newspapers about the doings of the so called society people whose names are more widely, though not always more favorably known. The disaster to John Jones’ brindle cow is not a thing to set the world agape, but to those who know John Jones and to whom his cow is a familiar spectacle there is just as much human Interest in knowing what this local landmark did to the automobile or what the automobide did to it as in discovering through the more pretentious press that the Emperor of Germany has been skylarking around in an airship. And perhaps the adventures of Mary McAllister and of the cow which is the property of John Jones—we are trying hard to be rhetorical—create about as much disturbance among the gods on
