Show just after w we e finished running off the paper last week a cheerful party remarked well the paper is out you can take it easy for a a few days cant you yep nothing at all to do ab so LOOT ly nothing once the paper is printed all any editor has to do is to sit around and watch the little bills coming due and gently shake his money mone Y bush until enough dollars drop off to pay those these or them bills when the editor is not running off the paper his favorite pastime is to recline on a divan and smoke a fine full flavored clora de lima cigar and watch the subscribers struggle with each other baber to get on his list and pay the in advance if he becomes annoyed he puts out his cigar slips it in his pocket and saunters non down the boulevard de main just to hear the merchants its cl clamoring for additional spa space ce as with tears in their eyes they dog his footsteps and the way the news hunts the editor is pleasant to contemplate when the paper f is s out the editor goes to his desk leans back in his chair looks wise and waits till the day before the next press pres s day when the people line up in front of the office and then file past his desk and tell him all the news of the week lie ile writes 1 ii iii fifteen or 3 and hangs it on the hook the compositors shake the copy over the cases say a few mystic words and the type nies flies into place and after a few basses by the foreman the forms are rea ly for the press again and e editor goes down and deposits the money in the bank its the greatest snap in the catalogue now if the editor could do away with press day his joys would be complete |
