NEWSPAPER BoRRowERs. DO you ever
think, ~ week after week you borrow your
neighbours newspaper how the man who
publishes the paper would live If everybody
did as you do! Just imagine yourself in the
publishers place. and see how you would
like some fellow to come to your home every
Sunday regularly week after week from one
years end to that Of the next, and borrow .
loaf Of bread, and take it away and cat it
without making you any return. True you
don't eat the newspaper you borrow, but
you do-cvery mothers son Of you-rob the
printer by borrowing your neighbours news
paper and reading it, because you deprive
the printer Of the opportunity Of selling 3
paper. You say this is a small matter; you
are right, it is q small matter in your case,
but suppose everybody WAS a. mean AS you
are, who would take the papers then, and
where would you find one to borrowI Does
it ever occur to you that your neighbor who
with long suffering charity and forbesrance
continues to supply you with literary food
through summers heat and winters cold for
many weary year, thinks you are the
meanest and most despicable wretch on the
face of the earth, and wishes you were trans
ported to the North Pole or sunk to the
bottom Of the deep, deep sea.

Big Pool is body of water nearly two
