The Constant Reader.
He had just entered the editorial sanctum way down from Pokumville. He wanted to be polite and complimentary, but the great editorial presence embarrassed him. He timidly sidled up to the editor, and tried to speak the little piece he had composed : " Mister Editor, I—l am a constant value of your readable paper."—" Eh?''—" Sister Medittor, I am—l—l am a readable constant of your valued paper."—"Eh?'—"l am a papered value of your readable constant."—"Eh?"—"l am a valuable reader of your constant paper, begosh !" —" There must be some mistake, Mr Smith, somewhere. You are three years behind in your subscription. Nothing very valuable in our constant paper in that "—' Arkansaw Traveller.'
