Encourage the Editor.

AS a rule, an editor gets about
1000 kicks to one caress. Once n a
while he gets a kind word, and it
warns and cheers his weather beaten,
storm racked heart to the innermost
core. Most people are afraid to tell
an editor when he writes an article
that particularly pleases them, for
fear OF making him proud, We suppose,
but if they End anything that does
they viii neglect their business to
hunt him up and tellhim Of it.. Pshawl
dear friends, don't think you will
spoil the editor by giving him an &C.
casional word of cheer, any more than
you will spoil your child by compli-
menting it upon a piece of patchwork
it has finished. OF course you could
beat the ~jobyourself, but that doesn't
deter you from heaping words of
encouragement on the child. 1t has
done its best. So you could doubtless
beat the average editor at running a
paper? OF course, you can. The
man does not live who can't beat all
editor at running a. paper. The edi-
tor is willing to acknowledge that you
can. He only runs it because you
have not time to; but this fact need
not deter you from giving HIM q word
OF encouragement occasionally

In a Lumber Slash.

A doctor of divinity, who writes to
tie Forest and Stream of his angling
adventures, tells OF being stuck in q
"slash:" Presently we came to q
"lumber slash" This signifies a Sec
ton OF forest where hemlock trees
have been felled in the winter, their
trunks peeled off the marketable bark,
and then left to decay. The stumps
here were about six feet high. indi-
eating the depth OF snow on the
ground at the time the woodman did
his work; the branches remained on
the prone trees, making an almost
impenetrable barricade. 1t is easier
getting a comb through q tramp's
hair than a ny-rod through such a
labyrinth of dry brush. Alas! for me
that l was in haste. Alas again that
it is my fate to wear eyeglasses.
Alas! once more that Johnny had
fallen headlong and sadly scratched
his face and torn his jacket. own I
felt embarrassed. When 1 gathered
up my senses for q calm survey. this
/ found to be the condition of things
My haste had served to wind my line
and rod around at least three dozen
twi IS; my eyeglasses had gone, cord
and all; l was corraled by fallen trees.
Go ahead I could not; to 60 back
seemed almost impossible. With
Johnny's help, however, l recovered
my eyeglasses; he discovered them
hanging on a limb; I deliberately pro-
ceeded to untwist and unsnarl my
line and to carefully encase my rod.
Johnny, meanwhile, had been calling
for our guide.

when their mamma caught them at it.
She took the machine away from

day when lie reported at the Office the
superintendent told him that he was
just 1896 fares short. 1t paralyzed
him for a while. and then he asked
how it was, and they showed him the
record. You see the ICON all carry a
book in addition to the punch. and
every time they collect a fare they
mark it on the book as we'll as pulling
the punch. When you leave the office
the number indicated by your bell

the number of fares and must agree

sure way to be cured of anything

wonderful panacea. The singer and
the fidler gathered the crowd for him.
and held it by songs and, playing
whenever his oratory lost its grip on
their attention. The actress was not

played difficult and essential role.
In the guise of q rheumatic old

The Rights of Inventors

When an inventor brings out some.
thing that accomplishes a useful pur.
pose not before accomplished, or
does this better or more economically
than it has been done, it is reasonably
certain he has invented something in
the value Of which he has an interest.
And this point is the one that is over.
looked by those who declaim against
the rights of inventors in favor of
some one who tried to do something
similar twenty years before. The
very fact that the party who tried
first did not succeed is fairly good
evidence that he did not make the in.
vention. All recent construction of
patent law is in favor of sustaining
the inventor who accomplishes some
thing, as against the nan who tried
and failed, even though the means
used are very similar. And this is
justice and common sense. The pat
ent la VS. are presumably in the inter-
est of the public, and the public is
interested in the inventor to exactly
the extent that 1T is benefited by him.

heETt seed.

A little seed lay in the carriers path;
A little shoot bowed in the strong winds

A little shrub grew. by it's roots held fast;
Then a stout tree braved all the winters

A little cough started-'twas only light;
A little chill shivered the hours OF night; :
A little pain came and began to grow,
Then consumption laid all his brave

ere the little ailment becomes the strong,
