A Reliable Newspaper.

The editor of a Houston daily paper,
who, by the way, did not understand the
business, engaged the services of Pete
Bingham as local editor. He was to re-
ceive the princely stipend of $11 a week.
The first week, as luck would have it,
was a dull one. The editor. n.chief was
somewhat discouraged, and was disposed
to regard Pete as a failure. He said:
"Mr. Bingham, there Is very little
local news in Tie paper"

There are fewer daily papers In London
now than there were a generation ago,
aud 1t is the same process of the extinc,
ton Of the weakest that seems to be 60
ing on in New York. But the great
London dailies have made themselves
strong, not by cheap prices, but by good
work. The mistake that has been made
in this country, in the active competition
among the too numerous newspapers, Is
in trying to give the newspapers away
