"A singular story is told of Chief Jus.

found himself without money at a
country inn. While in doubt how 10

sick in the room = sEtia efas2 s1i =
Learning that it had the aeue, and

wrote some words at random ON a
piece OF parchment. and told the mo

and thus cure the ague.
The woman obeyed. and the delight
ed parents asked Holt to ACCEPT his
board in payment for his medical ser
vices.
Years after, when Holt had become
lord chief justice. woman was tried
before him for witchcraft.
Part of the evidence against her
was the possession of the very amulet
which the judge many years previous
" had himself prepared as Joke.
The woman turned out To be Holt,s
hostess, and the judge told her from
the bench how she had been deceived.
For years she had used the charm

Every newspaper reporter In New
4orktis my personal friend. / have
been betrayed by about every class of
men in the world, but never by a
newspaper man, and believe there is
a spirit of fairness abroad in the news
papers that Is hardly TO be found any
where else. There is no man, however
poor, if he has been done an injustice,
that cannot get himself set right by
the newspaper. We find n great deal
OF fault with the newspapers. Per-
haps by our own indistinctness we are
reported as saying just what we did
not say, and there is a regular riot of
commas and semicolons and periods.
and we get used TO talking about the
'blundering printing press Or some-
times we take up paper full of social
scandals and divorce cases. and we
talk about that filthy, scurrilous press,
but cou ID preach a whole sermon on
the everlasting blessings of good
newspaper. A good newspaper is the
glnndest temporal blessing that God
has given the people of this century.
IN the first place all the people
read the newspapers, and the news
papers furnish the greater proportion
OF the reading to the people. They
don't read books Tie old people look
Tor the deaths, the young look for the
marriages, the business men read, the
business and financial columns, and
those who are unemployed read the
want ads Great libraries make few
intelligent men and women, but news
papers lift the nations into sunlight
Ny idea of a good newspaper is a
mirror of life ITSELF Some people
complain because theevil of the world
is reported as well as the good. Tho
evil must be reported as well as The
good, or how Will we know what to
guard against, or what to reforms /
There Is chance for discrimination
as TO how much space shall be given
to reports of such things as prize
lights, but the newspaper that merely
presents the fair and the beautiful side
OF life is a Misrepresentation. That
family is best qualified for the duties
OF life who have told to them not only
what good there is in the world, but
what evil there is in the world, and Is
told TO select the good and reject the
evil Minneapolis Tribune.
