but that she may not waste her precious time looking over worthless
articles, her secretaries are instructed to read the papers first every
morning, and see what is worthy the Queen's reading.

From long habit they know the subjects that are of interest to Her
Majesty, and these they carefully outline with a blue pencil.

It has always been the custom for one of the Princesses, the Queen's
daughters, to read these items to her.

No clippings are sent to the Queen; the papers are marked and sent to her
as they are.

Her Majesty really has a Great Round World made for herself every day, for
the secretaries are like your Editor--they do their best to call the
Sovereign's attention only to such matters as are really important and
true.

EDITOR.




_To Ernest K., Lakewood, N.J._


DEAR ERNEST:--We were very pleased to receive your letter, but we
will not publish it, because we think you could write us a much better
one, that would be well worth putting in our paper.
