LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 19.-Last week
John Page. secretary of the Baudana club,
democratic organization of the Twelfth

land letter concerning the action of the
club, with reference to this distinguished
gentleman, and this morning received the
following graceful acknowledgements:
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-John III. Page.
E>q, secretary: My dear sir-l am very
much flattered by the note which | have
just received from you, conveying report
OF the Bandana club of Louisville. and l
accept with thanks the honor conferred
by my election as an honorary member of
that organization. The best compensation
for the discharge of public duty is the ap-
prevail of good people.
If have gained that, and in addition, !
have succeeded in giving to the principles
of Democracy increased life and activity, l
am content.
| hope that ] shall not appear unappre-
ciative ifsI remind the club that the work
now in hand consists in still further pre-
sentng to the people the wisdom and bene-
ficence of the principles rather than the
advancement of the claims of an iudi-
vidual.
am glad, however. to see that the clab
has such warm appreciation Of the gallant
hight made in Ohio by our. governor-eiect
and of his services TO the cause of democ-
racy. Yours very truly,

A New Thing in journalism.

There is new thing on the taps in jour
nalism. Hear about it? 1t is proposed to get
the history of every man in town-that is,
every man whose record won't bear the test
of too much daylight. Then the first issue
of the paper appears. 1t is full of vague
rumors. Hints about men and things Hav-
ing foated the first issue the reportorial corps
is started out, each being furnished with a
map of his territory. He sees his man and
says: Here, we've got you down. Here's
the story. It'll cost you a tenner to have the
cap put on the camera. Sea- Does she got"
You see how it differs from the ordinary
journalism of the earthly today. A reporter
for one Of the morning papers goes out for
news and he's got to get it. The new papers
reporters make most for the paper when they
don't get anything but the tenner. If they
don't get the tenner the paper has to come
out. That means that the article must be
written, put in type, and the paper printed.
That's why some pcpers never make any
money. In the new scheme, if the reporters
are UP to snuff, some weeks there won't be
any paper at all. So much clear. have
been offered the managing editorship.-Wil

In Self Protection.

A correspondent of The Canton [Me) Tele-

and ingratitude which is not often witnessed
and yet is seen too often. He describes it as
dream, but evidently he didn't observe it in
dreamland He says: II saw in a vision a
man, good man, deacon withal He had
labored long in his Masters vineyard He
had given Of his substance, his time and his
prayers for the good Of the church and the
saving Of souls The time came with him az
with all men. when the relentless hand was
upon him. On dying bed, although sur
rounded BY kind friends, he sighed for some
fraternal cheer, that some co-worker in years
agone would come and with him review the
past, talk of the present and consider the fu-
ture, but they came not; they were joined to
their idols II would be well il we should

Secrets and Girls.

Secrets are things many girls delight in.
Experience has shown that the fewer secrets
and mysteries girls have the safer and more
comfortable they feel. No girl should agree
to keep a secret that she will have to with
hold from her mother. If il is important and
necessary that it should not be communicated
to third party, then she had better refuse to
hear it at all. A great deal of unhappiness
and misery has been done through small Sc
crets, leading one from one wrong to another,
until a web of deceit has been woven so COM
plete and intricate that it is nearly impossi-
BILE to get disentangled from it. Your moth

dantes you can have Their love, you may be
sure, will guide and counsel you Alright, and
although you make many mistakes and blum
ders, you can never go; far astray if you tell

thought is that mother mustn't know OF this,
is standing on very unsafe ground. Hide

one else to tell them. and thus shake their con
