People who are the principals in any
act constituting a Legitimate news item
exhibit very narrow Judgment in taking
Offense at 1t. The mission of news
paper is to give the news. 1t must
either do that or throw up the sponge
and say 1t is afraid to, lest it offend
somebody. Then it is worthy only Of
contempt. Legitimate news according
to Henry Waterson, is, anything that
the good Lord permits to happen"
News is meat and drink to newspaper.
1t is as much its business to give the
news as for doctor to attend to his
patients or lawyer to look after the
interests of his clients. 1t is sometimes
disagreeable task, and one that the
editor would avoid II he could. And
news items cannot be expected to be
infallible in all their details. When
there are conflicting reports, and both
sides are given as nearly correct as
possible, there is no room for reasonable
complaint. City newspapers make the
best of everything and nobody thinks of
kicking. But country newspaper

timid way, and deals gingerly with it.,

True courtesy strikes its roots far
below the surface, deep in the heart,
and blossoms out in all the little acts
of life. He whose pulse beats in time
with the great pulse of humanity, who
feels that ''every human heart is
human" bears about within him the
very elemental soil from which true
courtesy spontaneously springs. Among
the manifestations OF its presence are
perfectly simplicity of manner entire
absence Of all acting for effect, and
unconsciousness of self. We see these
in persons who have travelled extensively
in our owu and other countries, and who
have thus been thrown into sympathetic
relations with people Of various nation
alities and civilizations that their
citizenship is consciously cosmopolitan.
We see it in philanthropists who may
all their lives have lived in the narrow
precincts of single township, yet
whose benevolent activities have
brought them in direct personal contact
with the poor, the ignorant, the unfort-
unate, the erring, no less than with the
happy, the wealthy, the prosperous, the
intelligent. There is no need of cir
cumnavigating the earth to acquire the
largeness OF heart whence true courtesy
springs, since nearly every neighbor-
hood furnishes representatives of all
conditions Of the race. Those who
breathe the high atmosphere of univer-
sal sympathy, untainted by the narrow
prejudices that torment and gangrene
and meager souls, can afford a kind word
or glance to all they meet, giving the
faithful laborer due recognition on
account Of the manhood that is in him
and the good he renders society, Tighten

Discovered Their Loss from q Friend.


A small boy recently brought a ladies
gold watch into Lewiston jewelry
store and desired to have a broken crys-
tai replaced. The dealer had repaired
the watch few days before and he had
its number and at once recognized it.
The rightful owner of the watch, as it
happens, lives neighbor to the jeweler,
and when he went home to supper that
night he called and asked them If they
had sent the watch to the shop for re-
pairs. They said they had not. He
asked them If they had lent the watch
to any one and the answer was in the
negative.
They were quite sure the watch was
in the case where they had left it. AT
the request Of the jeweler they looked
and to their great surprise the watch
was not there. The jeweler then pro
duced the property and told of the boys
coming to the store to have the crystal
put in. That was the first intimation
the family had of being robbed.-Lewis.

KINDLY DONE.
A Pretty Story Of Clever French Critic
and His Two Friends.


and His Two Friends.
Many odd and amusing stories are
told of the clever French critic. Jules
Janin, and his friends. None is more
pleasing or more to their credit than
one in which Janin, Theodore Burette,
the historian, and Leon Satayes, the
composer, author and critic, figured.
One of Janin's best friends was an old
aunt, who sent him to school when he
was a boy, kept house for him and took
good care of him when he, young
man, was making his reputation, but
not much money, in literature.
II was perhaps in memory of her that
he made n protege Of poor old woman
whom he noticed one day in the street.
He placed her in home for aged per-
sons, and until her death years after
ward was her thoughtful and generous
friend. The good woman was very i'll

she said:

must see him once more before die"
One Of the women Of the institution
went with her. Janin was living then
in the top of house which commanded
beautiful view of the garden of the
Luxembourg. His "garret" was filed
with books and pictures, but like any
other garret it was reached by climbing
n great many stairs. Slowly and pain
fully the old woman toiled up the long
flights. She had to sit down often to
rest. II took her nearly two hours to
reach the top. Janin was breakfasting
with Theodore Burette.
He received her with great cordiality
and affection, and the three had happy
breakfast. The two men devoted them
selves TO entertaining her. They in
quired all about the home, the rules, the
diversions, the food, her recent illness,
and listened with genial interest to all
she had to say. She said goodby, and
they made ready to escort her down
stairs.
1--WE will return your visit soon, they
said, and placing themselves on either
side of her they began TO descend the
stairs. But the effort and excitement
had been too much for the feeble old
lady. Her limbs failed her and she
could not take a step.
Just then Satayes appeared on the
scene. 1--WE must carry her down. he
said. SO they placed her comfortably
in an armchair. Janin and Burette,
who were small men, took the back.
Satayes took the front, and they went
down flight after fight of the many
storied house breathless but cheerful.
"Well, my good woman" gasped Sa
tayes, ~ don't know Of any queen who
has carriage like yours"
The three literary workers were hardly
in training for their achievement, but
they placed her safe and sound on the
sidewalk, and saw her go away with be-
attendant, her old heart deeply touched
and pleased with the attentions she had
received.-Youth's Companion.

Rev.T. T.DeWitt Talmage, although not

AT the pace some people drive, Elijah,

three weeks to get into heaven. We
want swifter horses, and swifter men, and
swifter enterprises and the church of
God needs to get off its jog trot. Quick
tempest, quick lightnings, quick streams,
why not quick horses? In time of war
the cavalry service does the most
execution; and as the battles of the world
are probably not all past, our Christian
patriotism demands that we be inter-
ested in equinal velocity. We might
as well have poorer guns in our arsenals,
and clumsier ships in our navy-yards,
than other nations, ,as to have under our
cavalry saddles, and before our artillery,
slower horses"
