WHY THE EDITOR SWORE.
Witli a terrible cold in his head, And eyelids heavy and sore, Au editor sat in his broken chair And bitterly, earnestly swore. A youth had dropped in with a poem, A mau was there with a dun, And a chap had entered to tell him How the morning ' Gazette ' should be run, Au irate subscriber had told him, His sheet wasn't fit to be read, While another had carefully promised He would punch the editor's head. The foreman was yelling for copy, And the wind whistled in at the door, And this, with a few other reasons, Is why tho editor swore. But the angel that took it to heaven, Recorded this verdict there : " The jury tiuds in the present case— 'lwas a justifiable swear."
