A Nice Little Story With Nice Lirtic
Moral.

Nice Little Story With q Nice Itrtic
Moral.
The editor of the Grass Valley Herald
has tired of appealing By mournful edi-
tcrials to his delinquent subscribers. He
is on new tack now. Here is his latest:
1t was the evening of the last day of the
world. The heavens had been rolled to-
gether like q scroll. the seals had been
opened, the last trump had been heard.
The righteous people of the earth had been
gathered to the fold and the unrighteous
had been sent down into the bottomless pit,
divided into day shifts and night shifts, and
set to work digging sulphur for the old SER
pent, who was chained fer q thousand
years. There was darkness upon the earth;
the sun, covered with sackcloth and ashes,
had sunk from sight, and the moon. q
blood-red ball. was hanging low above the
horizon. There was an awful silence. The
earth had been turning slower and slower
upon its axis, and there was reason to ex-
pect that 1t would soon stop altogether.
Alone in that vast solitude, with his
hsggard features dimly lighted by the GRIM
son rays of the blood-red moon. with
frozen tears upon his cheeks, and a wild,
hungry look in his eyes, sat one man upon
stone. The last man. The only man on
all the deserted earth, waiting for the final
throe when the world would become q de-
funct body, dead sphere.
Suddenly there was a soft whirring OF
wings, and an angel sped down through
the vast space of the infinite realm, and
alighted by the side of the forsaken man.
why are you here?" asked the angel.
why did you not follow the procession
when it left for the peaIly gates of
heaven?'
ALAS - said the man.
Why said the angel, "did you linger
here? Was it because you loved the
earth ?''
NO" said the man.
WAS it." continued the spirit, because
you were ashamed, or proud, or undeserv-
ing ?"
"Nol mol" cried the unfortunate man.
Then" said the angel, what was it?"
ALAS grosned the man. I'm coun-
try editor, and was starved to death BY
my delinquent subscribers. / could not
follow the procession. l was too weak.
l.
But the angel stopped him. Tenderly he
took the editor up under his arm and
swiftly he foated through space, up and
up, until be had reached the pearly gates.
a whispered word to St. Peter and the
gates flew open. There was a burst of
celestial melody, and ray of celestial
light shot forth and shone forever through
the awful voids of space. At the same
time there came up from the bottomless
pit wall of most horrible agony. The
old serpent was hogging the delinquent
subscribers with his tail.

will be importuned to take hand IN

rank as public grievance. Some Of the
published lists of the entertainments
given at the watering places are curious

In one dispatch from Narragansett,
for instance, on Sunday the details Of q
delightful impromptu picnic" were
given. A list Of the guests was append

twenty-seven young women. At an ''in-
formal" dance in Newport on the same
day it was said that for the first time in
the history Of that famous watering
place girls danced with one another since
there were not enough men to go around.
Such condition Of things as this at
Newport is absolutely unprecedented. It
is not difficult to find out where the
young men are by the way. They arc

About Printers Ink.

This is the day of printers ink, and
the prizes are for those who use it.
Your traditions and prejudices may be
to the contrary, but the world doesn't
care fig for them. The man who
sits and waits for his trade in these
days gets left. Don't advertise, don t
quote your price lists, don't see that
your city or Your business is represent
ed in your patronizing territory, and
don't stand up manfully alongside
those who are fighting for their rights
and interests, and there can be but
one result-shriveling up. Good sales
men, first-class articles, gilt-edged
credit are not enough. They are ex-
cellent, necessary-but not enough.
Printers ink beats them in long run.
Uncle Sam's mails 60 every day, car
rying their freight of special offers,
new crops, long credits. cash discounts,
job lots and lovers tales from every
where. And in the end your trade is
reduced. It's the world old story of
the honeyed tongue and the open ear.
In the fierce competition of these days
old habits and associations simply can
not stand the pressure. The trade is
for the man who uses Printers Ink

adoption of free trade-commercial
reciprocity with all nations. The
East, as We have stated, has grown
dangerously rich by means of protec-
tive tariff; now let the West assert it..
self and use the means at its command
to change its economic policy to one
more conducive to sectional welfare.
The question is broader than party
lines. 1t is more vital than mere for
NAL political organizations, and more
essential than the dominance of any
particular set of politicians, for it
touches our life and is indissolubly in
terwoven with our existence.
Protection continued go years longer
and tine West, with its vast agricultu-
raj, possibilities, would be a pauper
bound hand and foot. Let us who
live here in the West be fools no longer
but let US exercise our common sense
and protect our own interests by OBJ
tanning, just as quick as possible, the
freest trade with all its attendant bene-

The Beautiful Hymn Written by the

The following is the beautiful hymn
which has made the late Cardinal New

Cucumbers as Food.

Many people are under the impression
that cucumber is very indigesible, and
when they cat it they do so under pro-
test and with apprehensions Of possibly
dire consequences. How this delusion
can have arisen it is difficult to say, un-
less it be that cucumber is often eaten
with salmon and other indigestible ta-
Bile friends. It is not the cucumber,
however, but the salmon that sits so
heavy upon our stomach's throne. Gu
cumber, in fact, is very digestible when
eaten properly. It cannot, indeed, be
otherwise when it is remembered that it
consists mainly of water, and that those
parts which are not water are almost ex-
clusively cells Of very rapid growth.
In eating cucumber 1t is we'll to cut it
into thin slices and to masticate them
thoroughly. Even the vinegar and the
pepper that are 80 often added to it are
Of service to digestion if not taken In ex-
cess. The cucumber. as every one
knows, belongs to the melon tribe; but
in our somewhat cold country it does
not grow to any very large size, and
therefore it is frmer and looks less di-
eestible than its congener, the melon
