An Agricultural Editor. Kindness

The conversation drifted to publishers, and
he told me a pleasing little story, in which
Mr.. Moore, publisher of The Rural New
Yorker, was the benefactor A naturalist of
considerable note resided in Lancaster city at
the time He owned a little home, had a
profession, but was not rich in this worlds
goods Mr.. Moore used to .end TO him all
queries in connection with obnoxious insects,
etc The naturalist would make a drawing
of the insect, give its proper name, explain
its habits, pecuiiarities, etc, all Of which
would appear in The Rural New Yorker
One Christmas morning the naturalist said to
his daughter: My dear, there is turkey in
the stove, to he sure, but this twenty-five cent
piece Is all the moncy | have in the world
Not bright outlook, is it:'
Presently a needy neighbor dropped in to
solicit aims, and the naturalist promptly
handed her the quarter He was a big
hearted man, a devout Christian, and with
sublime faith in Providence. Daughter, the
money will come back to me fourfold," he
said Just then the postman handed in a letter
The naturalist opened it, and found in it a
check for $50. 1t was from Mr.. Moore, who
wrote in substance: You have been very
kind in preparing those articles for us from
time TO time You, no doubt, regarded it as
"A labor of love, but we must ask you TO ac-
Cept this check, not as complete compenSa-
ton, but as a slight expression of our appre-
citation Of the value of your work" There
Mary, what did tell you!" the old naturalist
cried. his eyes filling with tears. This is
true incident, and, should the Lancaster
dailies copy it, they will have no trouble in
supplying the naturalist's name.-Philadel-

(or immorsD courage TO nominate a candi-
date for every office there was to be filled
Whatever the odds against them they brought
out their men and voted for them, thereby
showing their faithfulness and pluck and
preserving their party organization. This
year. however. the old time leaders lower
their banner and trail it in the dust, leaving
their followers TO scatter and do as they
please, with the expectation that they will
vote for the peoples candidate. so-called
I. L. McMillin. But they are, as a matter
of course, under no obligation to do so, and
if no democrat is nominated, many of them
will vote for Kennedy, as a mali of legisla-
tive experience, who as a member of a
strong political party-likely to be dOmi-
nant in the next hOuSe-will be able to do
much more for his constituents than an
unknown man. with neither knowledge of.
or experience in, public affairs. The wiser
and drawer course for the democrats of the
district is 10 put up their best man and
make an honest square fight in his behalf.
The kind of campaign which certain dem
ocrats propose will, if persisted in, so
demOralize their party that it will not be
good for much in any future campaign.
The strength Of the party is in the strict
and rigid discipline 1t has maintained and
if its leaders relax their grip they can never
regain it. There is no practical sense in
foOling with McMllin. There is no posi-
bility of his election.

THE PUBLIC HONEST AT HEART.
Business Men Who Trust Their Welfare

to the Integrity of Their Patrons
when You think of the way fare registers,
change indicators bell punches checks, spot
tiers and other devices to prevent dishonesty
have increased of late" said a private detec-
tive the other day, you might come to the
conclusion that there is no faith in mans in
tegrity left anywhere. 1t looks as though
every man believed every other man to be an
arrant thief and was determined not 10 trust
anybody. There is a good deal of practical
faith in mans upriShtness left around i'll
spots. however, though everybody doesn't OBJ
serve it For instance, there is certain
lunch room in this city that is conducted ell
tirely on the idea that every man is sCrupu-
lousy honest.
The place is divided into little stalls. In
front of You on a kind of shelf are the viands,
which are few and simple, cup aud saucer
and a glass. You help yourself to coffee or
milk from urns that stand at convenient
places and eat whatever you like. There are
no walters. and no one keeps any account of
what you have. There is a price list on the
wall and stack of checks representing diff
ferent sums of money in a corner. When you
get through you figure up how much you
have had, take "a check for the amount from
the pile and pay at the door as You go out
You might think that a splendid place for a
man with nickle to eat dollars worth, but
the proprietor tells me that he has never lost
a cent by trusting 10 mis- customers honesty.
He thinks that one waiter would cause him
more loss by stealing or ignorance i'll a week
than dishonest patrons will in year.
But that isn't the only example of this
sort OF thing. l have often seen news stands
in the residence part of the city deserted for
hours by their proprietors, who trusted their
entire stock to the public The piles of papers
would he left outside, secured against the
wind by string, and there was a little slit in
the window through which the customers
slipped their money when they selected the
papers. Then again, you have often noticed
piles Of mail on the tops of the street letter
boxes, haven't you. They art too big to go
into the box and have to he left outside until
the carrier comes. Often they stay there all
night But it is very seldom that any Of
them are stolen, although the courts have de
cided that an article has not been placed in
the care of the government until it has been
put inside the box or reached the hands of
a carrier Coming Gown to little trivial
things in everyday life, look at the way
papers are thrown on dOOTStepS, milk cans
are left in front areas, and goods Of all kinds
are left lying around prOmiscuOusly at house
and store doors. The fact is, it's pretty safe
to bank on the practical honesty of all but a
very small portion of the public.-New York
