We hope he had enough to clothe the entire family, otherwise he might decide to pay a second nocturnal visit. Speaking of stealing, gentle read er, permit us to say a few words. Such acts are entirely too common, notwithstanding the commandment has never been repealed.

And wheth er you call the perpetrator a thief, robber, burglar, highwayman, pur-loiner, appropriator, defaulter, embezzler or kleptomaniac, his" acts are just plain stealing. For some forms of stealing the law provides a punishment, while others are passed unnoticed by the code and are punished only by remorse or social ostracism. Those familiar with the ethics of journalism know tha.t an editor who will publish clippings from his exchanges without giving due credit, is not considered worthy the respect of the fraternity; and among people of literary tendencies a liter ry thief is, and of right ought to be, considered depravity incar- uate. Now we have a right to pro ject our pedal extremity. Somebody has been stealing our thunder and we rise to a question ot personal privilege.

We are not going to men tion any names, or offer any evidence, at present, but unless some good cigars are found on our desk in the near future we will call the pub lic's attention to certain things that have appeared in this column, and elsewhere in our writings, that have recently been presented to the pub lic as original compositions in work that we never saw until it was submitted to the public, and had nothing to do with whatever.
