THr EVENING PAPA. The Chica-

follows:
THE power and influence Of pa
per does not depend on its size alone;
nor upon its profuseness; nor upon
its excellence alone nor upon the
number Of ITS readers. It does depend
upon It's character, and on the man.
Dcr 10 which It is read The morn

Of q natural law of physiology it's

Any violation Of law is dissipation. =
The tone Of the paper catches, must
catch. much Of this dissipation. What
II has it must give out.
The morning paper reaches nine
teen twentieths Of its readers and the
people generally at tim. when they
cannot read it. The work Of the day
is upon them. They mouth over the
paper hastily and throw it aside
Nothing 10 read, only gulped down.
This Is dissipation. It is as unhealth-
ful to stuff the mind with unmasticat-
I'd food as 10 the body.
THE evening paper is prepared at
a time when men ought to work, the
time set aside by nature for work.
All les facts are scrutinized in the
clear light Of day, not by the murky
blare Of the saloon lamp. 1t comes
10 It's readers when the work of tho
day Is done. It is carried to the
home and read 10 the family CIRCLE
Its contents are conned carefully and

auence Of home. It becomes part
OF the household economy to take
part in the reading Of the paper
Each member OF the home circle takes
m interest in 1t. The home is the
