   There are always those who will kick. For instance, if you publish jokes with whiskers on them some will say that you ought to be in a lunatic joint. If you don't print something to smile at, they say you are a pessimistic fossil. If you spread yourself and write a good, original article, they will say it is stolen. If you reprint an article, they say you can't write. If you say a deserving word for a man, you are partial; if you compliment the women, the men are jealous, and if you don't the verdict of the women is to the effect that your paper is not fit to use in the construction of a bustle. If you stay in your office, you are afraid to remain on the streets; if you do, you are lazy. If you look seedy, you are squandering your money ; if you wear good. clothes, you are a dude, and don't pay for them. If you play a social game of any kind and get stuck, you are a fish ; if you win, you are a tin horn, and so it goes through one continual round of pleasant complications.   -----Roslyn (Mich.)
