CHARLTON COUNTY HERALID VOL. Xl.--NO. 10. PAPER. Wes'ey A. Stang r, editor of the Office Qutfitter, Chicago recently made an adress before 2 body re tailers in which he called attention to the value of the local newspaper. He said in paat: ** 'he local news paper is the greatest thing the re tailer has if he will use it right, but a lage proportion are too prone to believe that the editor will take care of t.cir interests whether they l()uH after bis or not. T'his is wrong. If“ merchants as a class would ouly{ take acvantage of the opportunities that the local newspaperseafford thew they would reap rewards far beyond their -~ fondest dreams. ““While self preservation, is the first law of nature, editors of local papers‘ have a habit of letting self interest! gt the limit when it comes to ai question of serving the community. For this they are entitled to recog uibon, which they rarely receive. “‘No doubt the reta lers have encour aged them as far assentiment goes. They have undoubtedly said that they approved of the editors methods and called him ‘good boy, butin how many cases have they fallen short in«he real encouragement that counts? How often have they ne. glected to use his colums, thinking that they were clever in it? In fail *lng to patronize him they have too oftzn killed the goose that laid the golden egg. “You must get behind your local editor and push for all you are worth, He gives you $2 back for every dollar you invest assets you possess, the medium through which to let the people know what you have to sell. Within recent years the mail order proposition has been somewhat ‘bothersome. The editors of the country papers have done more _than all other influences combined ?‘)tn{win business back into normal chanuels and to reconvert the far -mer to the logical - belief «in shome trading. “The country editor refuses ‘to take profits from your enemy ~when the enemy wiil pay him more than you will. He refuses to accept business from the mail order store 1n the aistant city and even goes further by telling how superior the iocal store is to the distant one and detailing the advantages of buving at home. *‘Do not let it be said in your community that you have let your editor’s work go unapreciated. Use his paper. Make him prosperous aud yourself rich doing It. If you have foohsh ideas about the nonpro. ductiveness of newspaper advertising throw ther off ond try it out. One try will prove nothing. If it is successful so much the better, but the constant use of the paper inan inteliizent manner will produce the results. “[he best friend any buse iness man in the world has, next to his wife, is the local newspaper, ard if he dusen’t get full value for this friendship it 1s his fault, not the editor’s. The editor of the average s 0 called country paper has done more to upbuild his town and the retailers in it than all ther la fluences combined, and it also fol lows that as an almost: unhroken rule he is the least appreciated per son in his community.” In con clusion Mr. Stanger said that the = coumr); newspaper main does noti ask for charitv, but stands ready to I repay the merchant §OO per cent on | every dollar properly speut in adv ‘ ertising. ‘ i , 3 Delays Are Dangerous. : “This milk is sour, and I won’t t‘hy it declared the lady. ! “That's your own fault. mn'am,” re-| torted the dealer. *I offered It to you day before yesterday swhen it was fresh, and you wouldn't take lt-"—l Qlaveland Leader. i, el e o HOW I GOT THE DON’T WORRY HARET, (BY J. A, EDGEWORTH.) . hive learned since I lived with the soul of things that people do not need to be unhappy unless they de sire to be. All this is good if right ly seen and- rightly placed. God is actually running things and running them right There is'satisfaction jn a thought like that. I used to oe distmibed about the way the world is being managed. [ thought God was off the job every now and then, that things were going wrong and the politicians had to make them rizht. Now [ have come to the conclusion that a competent engineer 1s in charge and [ am not | so much worried. Understand me, I believe that (God works tnrovgh people “and that we must stand true to him, true to soul impulses, true to righteousness, to liberty and to humanity. But there is no need of losing sleep .a bout the universe going to the dem nition of the bowwaws. ~i It is like this: I used to watch a gang of men doing some gigantic work—building some railroad or erecting a building—and every now and then I became disturbed with the thought that they were not doing {i-t right. Then I reasoned with my sclf in this wise: The man in charge }of that job knows more about it than l[do.' . He is experienced and takes every part of the work into consider ation. He is not making a mistake and there is no occasion for me to worry myself over it, It was a comforting conclusion, : I am a part of the soccial machine and so that extent my respounsibility goes; and no further. In public There I owe my duty to my country and my stats. [ also owe my duty to the supreme—that I keep my heart open uand receptive o his will, But T owe it to nobody to worry. I owe it to nobody to interfere with bis private business or to be con cerned about it. This is a construct ive world and 1s going right, My greatest concern 1s to be construct- | ive myseif and to keep step with | God and humanity. = - That is one of the lessons I have learned from my little farm. | THE OBJECT OF | | LIFE. (BY J. A. EDGEWORTH.) What is the object of ife? *“Hap piness,” says one. ‘‘Love,” sighs another. “To do good bheams a third. *‘To gain wealth,” pants a « fdurth, “To achieve fame, ”’shouts a fifth. ““To find heaven,” breathes a last. Each of ihese is good when rightly undeistood, and each has its place. But there is one thing more. It is to grow, to expand, to climb, to overcome—lin a word, evolution. God sows his image in each of us, and we grow and evoive until this comes to flower and fruit in the individual character. Tlis is the object of life. It runs through all nature. Itanimates the universe, It is the divine law. That which does not progress dies. There is no hap piness greater that of ccnscious im provement and unfoldment, than that of becoming stronger, wiser and better, This is the lesson that is taught us by the growing and blossoming world, Cas rto All Parts of the City, ‘ TELBPHONE 930.

Can you direct me to one?” The man whom he addressed was standing in front of a store trying to % a. grain of sand out of his eye Mth one hand and holding his hat on with the other, for it was a windy day, and at first he made no response. But presently he spoke. _ 4 “Go to the next block,” he said, “and turn to the right. Four doors dosn you will find a restaurant.” A The stranger thanked him and rode on, About an hour later they acel dentally met again. The stranger was on his way out of town. He stopped and spoke. . “My friend,” he said, “I followed your directions. 1 went to the restau rant you directed me to, and I got the worst meal I ever had in my life.” “lI thought you would,” answered the other. “If you had waited till I got that grain of sand out of my eye I should have sent you to a good res taurant, but you didn't.

Sud fdenly an eel-like neck, ahout six feet {long and of tho thickness of a man's | thigh, having a head shaped like that { of a turtle, appeared in front of theé fin, flashing up the water with a curious | wriggling movement.

When the English version was laid before him, together with quite a bill for the translator’s labor, what was the disgust of the writer to find that the article was nothing more or less than a German reproduction of an ar [ tiele of his own published the year be fore In an English journal.

Australian Cadets, All children in Australin are drilled, but the elder boys are attached to the Australian military forces by means of the cadet corps.

The gtrange spectacle of a lion play- Ing with a child is reported to have been witnessed at Vryheid. A Dutch farmer, accompanied by his wife and little boy, was out shooting gume. Suddenly the attention of the parents was drawn to the child, who had tod dled a short distance away to gather wild flowers. Crowing with delight, the little fellow was pulling the hair of a full grown llon, and the animal appeared to be enjoying the operation. Spellbound, the farmer and his wife stood gazing at the scene. The farmer, even If his gun had contained a shot, could not have fired because of the child. The lion skipped sportively round the boy until, startled by lond shouts from the parents, it wallod quietly away, followed by a lioness, which up to then had lain concealewl in the long grass.

It seems that there was once a Scotch gardener who had charge of a good sized Knglish estate and under whose direction the formusl garden at the rear had been laid out with abso lute symmetry, even the two summer houses, one on each side of the garden, being fdentieal In even the most minute detail. On one oceasion the Engltsh man became angry at his' son and lscked him up in one of the summer houses. As soon as the Scotch gardens er heard of this his sense of symmetry was so outraged that he Immediatelsy sent for his own son and lecked him up In-the other swmmer house to pre serve the balance. : “IHammg" neglect ed to mention whether both bors srere dressed exactly alike, but.it is 4o be.
