The Thrifty Editor. Not long ago an Eastern Senator received a request from a country editor edi-tor In a mountainous section for a big package of seeds. Ho desired a goodly good-ly numbor of packages, which woro forthwith sent to him, as It was supposed, sup-posed, for frco distribution among tho farmers of his vicinity. The Senator had been In tho habit of sending out big packages of the seeds furnished by the Agricultural Department, to prominent men In different localities, who disposed of them wliero they would do good. ThuB tho Senator acquired knowledge knowl-edge of a new uso for tho generous gratuity of tho Government. It wasn't long thereafter that a letter came from a rival editor In the same town, complaining com-plaining that tho flrst-namod knight of tho quill was using the seeds to boom the circulation of his paper, by offering packages of seeds to tlioso who subscribed with him.
