The newspaper of a town, says
an exchange, is its looking glass.
It is here that you see yourself as
others see yon. You smile on them
and they smile back at you; you
frown on them, and you are repaid
in kind. They are the reflex of a
town. If the town is doing busi
ness the newspaper will show it in
its advertising columns. If the
merchants are spiritless, shiftless
follows, whoso stores are jumbles
of junk and jam, the newspapers
will show it by the lack of space
they take. If you want the world
to know that you have a live town
you can only let it be known
through its newspaper.

Woes of One Country Editor,
The following is so true and as
we are suffering, we think it wor
thy of quoting:
A country editor, as a rule, is
not the man to put on the baby
lace and yell for sympathy, but in
these piping times of peace, when
not even a dog fight breaks the dull
monotony of weary days, and he
writes industriously against space
to make five or six columns of
brevier, when there is really noth
ing to write about and news is
scarcer than snow balls in July, he
is really deserving of pity. If the
people of the town would assist
him a little in the matter by furn
ishing him with items of news, he
would be able to give them a much
better paper, and his job would be
a happier one. —Columbus Grove
Clipper.
Tell the Editor.
The way some people have of
being so bashful about telling us
the news is all foolishness.
If your country cousin comes to
see you and you are not ashamed
of him, tell us about it.
If your wife gets her hand in
your collar and gives you a decent
licking, tell the editor and he’ll
help you out in giving the matter
publicity.
If a new youngster should step
up in the way of a surprise at your
bouse, come arcund and tell us
about it and we’ll assist you in
making him a good American citi
zen.
If your daughter jumps over the
garden wall and changes her name
tell us about it and we’ll help you
make it sensational.
If your wife gets more chickens
and eggs than she knows what to
do with, call around and tell us
about it and we will see if our
force can’t get them a hiding place.
Wo just throw out these few sug
gestions so our good readers will
know when, where and how to do
in the future.

Six weeks ago I suffered with a
very severe cold ; was almost un
able to speak. My friends all ad
vised me to consult a physician.
Noticing Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy advertised in the St. Paul
Volks Zeitung I procured a bottle,
and after taking it a short while
was entirely well. I now most
heartily recommend this remedy
to anyone suffering with a cold.

1 There is no appeal for relief from
1 the great law which dooms us to
dust. We llourish and fade as the
leaves of the forest, and Howers
‘ that bloom, wither and fade in a
day, have no frailer hold on life
than the mightiest monarch that
over shook the earth with his
footsteps. Generations of men
will appearand disappear as grass
■ and.the multitudes that throng
the world today will disappear as
footsteps on the shore. Men sel
dom think of the great event of
death until the shadow falls across
their own pathway, hiding frem
their eyes the faces of loved ones
whose living smile was the sunlight
of their existence. Death is the
antagonist of life and the thought
of the toipb is the skeleton of a'l
feasts. We do not want to go
through the dark valley, although
the dark passage may lead to par
adise, wo do not want to go down
into damp graves, even with princes
for bed fellows. In the beautiful
diama of lon’ the hope of immor
tality, so eloquently uttered by the
death devoted Greek, finds deep
repose in every thoughtful soul.
When about to yield-his life a sac
rifice to fate, his Clemantho asks
if they should meet again, to which
he responds: I have asked that
dreadful question of the hills that
look eternal—of the clear streams
that flow forever—of the stars
among whose fields of azure my
raised spirits have walked in glory.
All are dumb. But as I gaze upon
thy living face, 1 feel that there is
something in the love that mantles
through its beauty that cannot
wholly perish. We shall meet
again, Clemantho/'
A lady, grievously tormented

her husband before retiring at

at the foot of the bed. Ho had
never heard of a firefly in that lo

seeing such a terrible looking ob

found one of his slippers, he raised
it high in the air and brought it
