DOES MANS BUSINESS AFFECT HIS
SYMPATHY

1t has ever been a mooted ques-
ton as to whether Il man 8 busl-
ness or professional life has ten
dency to develop or retard the
growthsof his sympathetic nature.
1t is argued by many that men In
a business or professional way
come in contact with so much
suffering that they become hard
ened, SO to speak, and cease to look
upon humanity with any degree OF
sympathy, it matters not how bad
ly needed is this solacing comfort.
The hungry must be fed, the fail
| ing tradesmen must be aided finan-
cially, the sick and suffering must
receive attention, and the dead car
ed for, and instead of the contact
with these destroying,
or even retarding the growth of
mans sympathetic nature, they
often lead to an abnormal develop
ment of it, and what would have
taken persuasion and tears, earlier
in life, to accomplish, can be later
accomplished by a simple request.
This point was we'll illustrated by
the action OF the school board last
Tuesday night, when by a simple
request The salary of the principal
was raised 33 Is per cent. The
Board is composed of some OF our
shrewdest and best business men,
and it was thought they would
lhave been the last ones to open
! the ear of sympathy, particularly
when the public was interested
The teachers were all elected IL
Nav and the salaries were fixed
and understood by the patrons and
taxpayers; but, Notwithstanding
this majority of the Board re
voked the action of the past. L
has not been learned what the
assistants will do, but it is thought
that, if they will make the reques
while the sympathetic feeling il
on, their salaries will be raised "a:
they should be) in the same pro
portion.

II is fitting that the pioneer of low-priced
journalism in the West should lead in placing the
American newspaper of to-day upon the basis of
the lowest unit of American coinage Twelve
years ago that unit was the nickel in Chicago and
throughout the Northwest. The founding of The
DAILY News at a lower price was regarded by the
journalistic profession inviting certain failure.
But they were wrong. To-day there is not a
nickel paper in Chicago, and the circulation of
IHE DAILY News averages, as shown by its pub
lished sworn statements, $4,000 copies day
with single exception the largest daily circula-
ton in America and greater than the circula-
tons of all OTHER Chicago datlies continued
THE DAILY News has prospered beyond the
most sanguine hopes of its founders For this it
has more than once made its grateful acknowledge
ments to an appreciative public 1t believes, how
ever, that the time has now come when acting
entirely within the limits of a wise commercial
progression, it can give its thanks more practical
expression. 1t proposes henceforth to divide
to its friends-and to multiply as to its circula-
ton. To-day it reduces its price to One Ceztt-
and expects to double its circulation.
And anticipating the questionings' of the
doubtful let it be briefly said that the thing can be
done. THE DAILY NEws-al that it has been in
the past well as all that is rightly expected of
It in the future as a leader in progressive Ameri-
can journalisul-can be produced and sold for
one cent a day, and this by reason of those COM
mon principles of trade which make possible
.ower prices just in proportion as the aggregate
volume of sales increases. THE DAILY News now
sells o0ey million papers zpeeh, as shown by its
published sworn statements of circulation, and it
afford to sell at smaller profit per paper than
other Chicago dailies, no one of which has as
much as one-third the average daily circulation

An Expression of Thanks.

And all adown the years to come
That weave the mystic wool oftime
Interviewer with Masters skill
Shall form O picture moot sublime
oftruest friends who came TO me
when darkness spread about my day
With tender hand and ,ireIcss feet
They lei me from my tangled way.
The strong right arm that shielded me
Lies helpless in the silent grave
That love so dear in life tome
Has now no strength to save,
Or he would break the strongest bonds
And surely come to me again;
He would not be imprisoned there
And know l had one pang of pain.
And by his side my father too
And silently above his breast
The hands that labored long for me,
Were kindly placed to sweetest rest
Yes side by side they sweetly sleep
My husband dear my father old
And is this true, or 10 dream
Deaths prison keys my treasures iiofd?
And for their sakes God bless the ones
Who battled in my hours of need,
Before the Throne the incense cup
Will hold the fragrance, of each deed
And when life's mondays golden sun
Sinks down to twilights, peaceful lea
May those true hearts and patient feet
Find rest beyond the Jasper sea.

ARE WESTERN FARMERS BANKRUPT?

English papers and British free
trade theorists have been assert
ing that western farmers are being
eaten up by mortgages, given to
eastern capitalists. The editori-
ais of the English press, and ex-
tracts from the free trade litera-
ture circulated in this country by
the British free trade theorists,
have been copied by nearly every
Democratic paper in the country.
These things have been published,
not because they were true, but be-
cause such reading was well calcu-
lated to further the ideas of free
trade. To show how groundless
are these reports, we publish the
following statistics taken from
Bradstreet's of Nov. 18th, 1887.
These statistics were obtained from
ten of the eastern loan companies
and were compiled to show the
condition of western farmers.
Read them carefully.
Number of Mortgages 100000
Total amount loaned S1S0,000,O0C
Average per mortgage 5000
Already paid 11s,0OO mortgages
Amount outstanding S75,OOO,0OC
Number of mortgages outstanding
$4,000.
Now it will be seen from the
above, and these statistics are per
fectiy reliable, that nearly three
fifths Of the western mortgages
have been paid. The report furth
er shows that the mortgage bust
ness has nearly ceased in Ohio
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. WI

of The DAILY News. The large addition to its
present million-a-week circulation, which will
surely come with its reduction to one cent a day,
will fully compensate for the reduced profit at
which each paper is sold. All this concerns the
reader only as assuring him that THE DAILY News
can reduce its price and at the same time maintain
its high character the foremost newspaper Of the
Northwest--that a mllion-a-week circulation
makes the otherwise impossible entirely possible.
The present is peculiarly the time to naugu-
rate this popular departure in American jour
nalism. The approaching Presidential election
widens immeasurably the field and opportunity
for The DAILY News as an independent, impartial,
fearless newspaper-one free from all the entangle
ments of mere partisan allegiance. The demand
is more and more for a newspaper which shall
give all the political news free from partisan color
ing, and which shall tell the absolute, unvarnished
truth about things, regardless ofits effect upon the
fortunes of this or that political party candidate
This demand The DAILY News aims to meet, and
at its reduced price it combines all the elements
which should make it literally everybodys paper.
To the thousands of new readers whose atten-
ton is for the first time directed to The DAILY
News it is proper to say that they will find IT
complete in all the essentials of the best Arleri
can journalism of to-day. Its quality as nszcs-
paper proper is best indicated in the fact that it is
the only low-priced paper in Chicago orsthe
Northwest, which is member of the "Asso-
ciated Press" The other Associated Press
papers in Chicago, the Tribune, the TImes-and
Inter- Ocean all cost three cents. a THE CHICAGO
DAILY NEWS prints all tie neaus and sells'it for
One cent a day. Sold by all news dealers Mailed
postage paid. at $500 per year. or 25c. per month

The Habit of Studying Faces.

A face is not q mere establishment or a
family device; It IL a cipher m which are
condensed ones history and character So
large and clear are these written that it is
wonder people can err 80 blindly in their
estimates of each other, and are so surprised
at being decei~ed. In the FIRST meeting there
is an exquisite, electric impression Of the real
self Of the person before one, and, good or
bad, it is well to keep this mental negative
for reference The habit Of studying faces
brings ont one convincing fact, that it is i'll
disposition or neglect which prevents most
women from being attractive. The features
will be equally good in two faces, but tho
play Of expression and signs of feeling will
decide one to be charming and the other to
be the reverse.
One must discriminate between III nature
and i'll huInor, the latter being matter Of
nerves and health, the former CT moral de-
feet A woman of sunny, truthful, unselfish
disposition, by her very sensitiveness to mean
doing and wrong, may have capacity for
honest autagonisn and seorn which limited
natures very foolishly condemn as wicked.
Or she may have overtaxsd nerves which
save themselves by flashes of i'll hunor,
which are no more than neuralgia twinges in
changing weather, and spring from the same
physical reasons These things are far dif.
ferent from the ingram peevfshness, narrow.
ness. hardness and petty nalignity which
write out their harsh characters unmistah-
ably on the faces Of women. In these wide
social exchanges, the railway stations, where
every grade Of society comes in review. the
sensation Is one OF regret and surprise; it
would take 80 little to make most of those
women at least charming. if they would only
be tidy, good narured and kindly.-Shirley
