A Good Reason for Stopping a Newspaper.
I happened to be in the office of the Mercantile Review and Live Stock Journal recently in time to hear one of the best reasons ever given for stopping a newspaper.
A German boy entered, removed his hat, and asked:
"Is Mr. Vepsider in?"
"He is," replied Charles H. Webster, looking up from a mass of tissue live stock reports which he was winnowing.
"Vell, Mister Bitters don't want to take dot paber no more. He vos dedt last nide alretty."
The name of the late Mr. Bitters, a cattle dealer, was duly erased from the delivery sheet.
