Did you ever think of it? Suppose
every busiuess man took interest in
the upbuilding o* his town as the
newspaper man He works for a
hundred and oi-e thiugs for the gen
eral good. Ho urges, pleads, scolds,
badgers, and cavorts around gener
ally until he rets whatever he lays
out for. Imagine a newspaper man'
feelings when some lame, spring
halt kind of a fellow, and every
town has them—reproaches him be
cause he don't boom things enough.
Nine times out of ten the same fel
low has never paid one cent toward
eupportiug the paper, and the paper
he reads with marked regularity, is
either borrowed from his neighbor
or picked up frcm the counter in th
store at which he trades.
A town, unlike a city, is no place
to foster jealo»siee and nourish con4
tentions. All should learn to know
that whatever will conduco to the
welfare of a town cannot injure Iter
citizens. I The disposition made
manifest by her citizens point to her
downfall or her rise. The character
of the people make the town, not
her structures, towering houses,
domes and monuments, and when
people lose interest in the promo
tion of their town they need not
hope to thrive. Harmony among
the people of a community is indic
ative of its progress. Farmers can
not be at variance with one an
other and prosper; merchants can
not. nor cau any similar organizatio
or community. —Ex.
It is a matter of courtesy to your
guests to give their names to the
newspapers wUsu they are visiting
you. The only exception to this is
waen you have unwelcome visitors
and are glad to get rid of them. In
that case of course, you are expect
ed to hand the Item in for publica
tion .
Its been a long time comin but
they've finally put a Y In Ellen.
Nobody ever elopes but once.
Mrs. Tilford Moots is so stingy
she peels pertaters with a safety
razor. Too many woman's cluba
spoil the broth.
In mentioning the lightning mail
service between Seattle and Skag
|way, we note that the last boats
brought.mail from Cleveland, Ohio,
post marked OCTOBER TWENTY
SECOND, while the latest post mark
of mail originating in Seattle is that
of OCTOBER TWENTY-FOUR. Are
we to assume '.hat it takes but two
days for mail to travel from Cleve
land, to Seatlte or are we to assumo
that mail posted in Seattle lays ov
er in that town for a few days.

"Ah! Is she a practical cook?"
"Practical? Well, I guess! She could
cook in a hotel if she chose. Why, she
knows twenty-four distinct names for

Her Hint to Mothor.
"Mamma, I love you awful much,"
fcaid little Amy, as she put her arms
around her mother's neck.
"And I love you, too, Amy, when you
are good," replied her mother.
"But, mamma," continued the little
mtss, not to be outdone, "I love you
Just the same, even when you ain't
no good."—Chicago News.
