EXCITED HIS CURIOSITY.
' IT beats me,’ he said as he laid down his newspaper, thoughtfully. ‘ I dunno’s I ever thought of it afore, but now thet it does come ter my mind, it certainly beats me.’
‘ Whut air ye talkin’ about ?’ asked his wife anxiously. ‘ Literatoor, ’ he answered. ‘Course we’ve seen it showed up in the newspapers time an’ agin how all an editor does is ter set down weth a pot o’ paste an’ a pair o’ scissors an’ cut out things ter put inter ’is paper.’' ' Certainly. I don’t see nothin’ so beatin’ about that.’ ‘ But this is the question. Some feller hez ter git them pieces up in the fust place. It never struck me afore ; but I’m blest ef I wouldn’t like ter know who the feller is thet starts in an’ gets up them there things fur theeditors ter cut out.’
