No News.

There is no news in the paper
any more,' says paterfamilias, with
sigh, as he lays it down. Yes,
we take the paper. but there isn't
much in it," says materfamillas to
her neighbors over the fence. And
in a measure both are right. All
that happens finds place soon or
late in its columns, but very little
happens.
Some one said long time ago:
Happy women have no history"
1t is true Of families, cities and ma
tions. In this latter part Of August,
when the dust lies an inch deep in
the streets, when the sun rises on a
gray-sreen world and looks down on
a city full of people quietly going
about their daily tasks when every
ones health is pretty fair" and all
mankind is at peace, there is not
much to tell.
We are going up and down the
streets and seldom notice how the
houses look when all is we'll. But
we remember how odd and strange
one house looked the day the blinds
we're closed the long streamers of
black hung on the mutfied bell, and
now we mark the Doth of June in
our calendar with black mark.
We trod softly past the house where
one lay asleep" and all that day
we were thankful for health and
strength to meet the days tasks and
worries, and we didn't complain of
the lack of news.
Why should we to-day? There
are one or two moro mounds in
Gods acre that will soon be level
plots of grass or drifts of snow, but
the dead are Gods. We must take
up the " burden of life" and go on,
some rs bread winners, some as
bread makers. There is not much
news, but the fathers are busy at the
office or shop all day, and mothers
are busy getting the children ready
for school. So many dresses to
make for Mary, who is fifteen and in
hor second year ut high school; so
many waists to be made for Charley
who is just five years old, ana about
to begin the ascent Of the Hill of
knowledge; SO much jelly to be
made that John and the children
may have something nice for lunch
this Winter, sit is SO hard to put up
a luncheon" With all this a wo.
mans hands are full.
There is not much to tell about
that family. And OF such busy,
happy families towns are made, and
days 60 on with the town much as
they do with the family. When q
large family is destroyed we make
note of it. That is ne,cs. When a
train is ditched, or goes through an
open draw, and several persons are
killed, it is ne,cs, and there is
something in the paper that day.
But the day when ners is plenty
are not the happiest days. When
everything seems as if it would last
forever; when the sameness of life,
when there is nothing in the pa
per- then is the time to be thankful
for "no news is good news"
