The keen-eyed cockroach secms to ba a nativo of the well-regulated newspaper otHce. If you have any business with -Mr. Roach and fail to fmcl him elsewhere go to a printing office and you will find him looking over the wedding reporter' s shoulder or helping the baseball editor to paste his copy together. I think the roach has a keener sense of humor than even the humorous editor. The roach knows what a joke is and sometimos the editor does not. These sleek blrda without a feather have converted my desk into a meeting place ar club house, and they transact most of their afluirá while I am busy, Thcy are quite fond of display, and, Ukepeople who mear diamonds, want to be seen, Bays a writer ia the Louisvillc Commercial. Almost every night when I begin to work a battalion of these roaches march out on the smooth surfaee of my desk and drill like soldiers. The generáis of the battalion piase the soldiers in comrnand oí the captains and theD sneak over to tb3 sido and eat rny paste while the battadon is practic-ing. ïhe other niglit an advance guard of one walked out on my writing paper, and to move him I flipped the end of the sheet and threw him a doublé somersault. In a moment he was back oa the paper again. I kept this up until I discovere1 that ilr. Roaeh was delighted -with the pastime. If Columbus liad had all the money that has been pent in celebratiug his memory, he would have bean too lazy to sail in anything but a pleasuro yaclit. Tliere is nothing quite so intercsting in this world as other poople's affairs.
