A Simple Tale,
Texas Sifting*.
Once upon a time a real editor, by some
strange chance, found himself along with
one of those editorial excursion* that you
frequently read about. There were a
couple of hundred in the party, but he
was the only real editor among them, and
he felt very lonesome. Not only that, but
he was looked upon by suspicion and mis
trust by the other fellows, who wondered
what business he had there anyhow One
veteran traveler on a dead-head pass
that he wasn't entitled to, said that he had
been on scores of editorial excursions,
and that was the first time that an editor,
that is to say, a real, bona fide editor, had
ever shown up. If this thing was encour
aged, be felt that the editorial excursion
was doomed. Its epitaph might as well
be written. So with one accord they all
sat down on the solitary editor, and made
it so uncomfortable for him that be got
off the train at the first stopping place
and returned home.
