Ii has been said that out of every five
newspapers started not more than one lives
to celebrate Its second anniversary. Of all
the short-liyed newspapers the evening
paper, published in small towns, is the
shortest lived. IL usually comes into the
world with a good deal of noise aud tri-
umphant blowing of horns, and leaves it
unwept and unsung-except by it's credi-
tors. During its brief career it passes

gish circulation and financial chills, and
not InfreQuently IL succumbs under the
Herculssn task of trying to keep the wolf
and the sheriff from the door.
The evening paper is invariably started
by four impecunIous printers, who know
as much shout running the business end of
a Newspaper as the pilot of canal boat
knows OF navigation. They rent lot Of
