Two newspaper men met, spoke their minds freely, and told tho truth, one to another. " Well," said Smith, " I hear that old Jones, editor of tho ' Trumpet,' was found dead' in his office last night." "Yes, so I hear," answered Brown. " Foul play is suspected, of course," he added;"" that's the police theory. But why should anybody kill him? Had his paper been making any enemies?" " None at all, as I can hear. You know ho had sto —- 1 all sensationalism, _ and was printing a pure, mod'est, highly moral family paper." "Aha! That explains "Who could have killed him?" "He wasn't murdered, man. He starved to death."
