Greed.

Country newspapers have a ':hard
road to travel and along its whole
line ''hard rows to hoe," with very
small potatoes at the end of the har-
vest. This is especially so within few
hundred miles of the large cities, and
the cause of it is ''greed." The city
papers are greedy for large circula-
tons and to obtain them they obtain
large cash capitals by forming Joint
stock companies, which enables them
to sink thousands of dollars to obtain
these large calculations and put the
price of their paper far below actual
cost of production, the loss being
made up and an enormous profit real
lied by the excessive charges for adj
Eertising, which their immense circu-
lation ensures them. Their weekly
editions are placed at a subscription
price which the country press cannot
reach, and as most country people
treat their home papers as the ancients
treated their own prophets and philos-
ophers, fifty cents and the disreputa-
BILE sensational matter in the city pa
pers turns the scale in their favor.
Even among church members the can
vasser for the local paper will meet
this reason as the preference for the
city papers; hence, except in COM
munity where parents are more
thoughtful for their children, the local
paper, especially if it assumes a high
moral tone, has rough sea in which
to navigate, and it needs bulldog
courage and a determined persever-
ence to keep off encouragement and
command success.
There is another source of difficult
ty in progress which the local paper
has to meet at every step. In hoeing
we often come in contact with
roots and boulders, which not only
delays progress, but often obliges us
to procure another hoe. So in COM
munity there are those hidden infu-
ences created by jealousy or ill will
that retard the progress of paper,
no matter how much it strives to be
power for good, and obliges it some
times to repair damages but they
cannot suppress it, if it does not, in
order to concilliate this element in the
community, make sommersault that
will break its neck.
Does the hopeful printer think that
his job work patronage will make up
for the deficiencies resulting from the
above causes? He must not be too
sanguine. He will find many obsta-
Giles. He will find neighboring city
printers willing to bleed themselves in
order to cut his throat, and he will
find city merchants supplying their
village customers with business cards,
note heads, bill heads and circulars
gratis as an inducement to continue
trade. Greed for trade in both these
cases is the reason for selfish disre-
gard of the rights of others. Then,
again, in this department, he will
meet the same jealousy and ill-will
among his own people to drive them
to other places for their printing, even
when obliged to pay an extra price
for their spleen.
Greed is mighty incentive to sell
fishness and throws many obstacles
in the way of the country printer and
makes his road a mighty hard one
% travel.

Uncomfortable People.

Among the disagreeable things that
increase the friction of life, none are
more trying than the uncomfortable
people one has to encounter. Some
people seem to think that the only
way to get along in this world is to
make themselves as uncom Portable to
others as possible. The idea that it
is. the duty of men and women to
make themselves as agreeable as pos
sible never enters their minds, GroYl-
ing, fault-finding, impugning motives,
raising suspicious, catching up every
criticism and rolling it as sweet NOR
sel-these are some Of the methods
which they are constantly employing
to depreciate or disturb their neigh
bors, partly because they find pleas
ure in the thought that they are thus
making others as uncomfortable as
they are, and partly because they think
that the only way they can build up
themselves is by pulling others down.
Blessed is the man who has a sun
ny, comfortable temperament, which
leads him to look on the best side Of
others, to ascribe good motives to
others acts when it is as easy and
reasonable to do so as to ascribe evil
motives, TO speak words of encourage
meut and cheer, instead of uncomfort-
able words-who, in short, adopts the
sound principle that the world is large
enough to win success, and at the
same time speak charitably and kind
ly. of his neighbor.
The men who think they must pull
down others whom they imagine to be
in their way in business, social or po-
litical life, cannot in the long run sue
coed. If some men who spend their
time in criticising, slurring and stab
bling their neighbors whom they sup
pose to be rivals in their way, would
give as much time to making them
selves and their business worthy of
support, they would find themselves
immensely more successful.
