it may be harder work to print one's own
paper than to hire it printed, but in the course of a few months
one gets used to the work, and it is easy to get out an edition.
You save the money you would have had to pay the printer if you
hired it done. But of course there are many difficulties where one
prints his own paper.
I find that I am much hampered for type. Although there is plenty
of body type, I do not have enough _varieties_ to print
advertisements, small hand-bills, etc., very well. Many a time I
have spilled, or "pied" the printers say, something after I have
had it all set up. But nowadays this does not happen as often as
it used to. These are samples of our difficulties, but I have said
nothing about the pleasures and fun which far outnumber the
difficulties. So I am not sorry for having tried to become an
editor in a small way. I would be glad to exchange _Our Young
People_ with other amateur papers, and to send a sample copy to
any one who wants it.

Sir Clement wants to belong to the New England Amateur Press

particulars?
Childish Wisdom.
A boy of three was in the garden. Going up to a rose-bush he exclaimed,
"Oh, grandma, these flowers have teeth!"

If you use this Good Will Mite, simply pin it to your letter, in order
that it may be detached for filing. If the amount is given by more than
one contributor, add blanks for their names, but attach the added sheet
firmly to the Mite, that it may not become detached and lost. Include a
given name in each case, and write plainly, to avoid errors on the Honor
Roll.
More About Von Buelow.
Von Buelow had a continual headache, and that was sufficient excuse for
his irritability. After his death, in accordance with his wishes, an
autopsy was made, and it was found that a displaced bone pressed against
his brain, and this was the cause of his trouble.
