Once upon a midnight dreary, as
pondered weak and weary, in state
of sleepy stupor on the quiet Senate
floor; while nodded, slumber seek

speaking on the Senate floor. ut is
only Cockrell,' thought |, speaking
on the Senate foor-only that and
nothing more
"Cockrell," said l, quite emphatic,
"populst" or democratic, whether
fate or some worse evil sent thee to
this Senate floor, can not you but
onceb be quiet from this everlasting
diet, from this weary, wanton riot OF
just talk and talk so poor ? Is there, is
there any respite? Tell me, tell me-
implore!" Quoth the Cockrell'
'Nevermore."
But the times are dull and dreary,
all the land is tired and weary, and
depression rules in every factory
mill and retail store. While you
stand there talking, talking, danger
through the land is stalking. Cause
this weary endless baking, taking

And lanes with grapes are fragrant;
When gentians roll their fringes tight,

Without q sound of warning;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining

Are leaves of WOO dbine twining;
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are sowing,
And In the fields, still green and fair
Late aftermaths are growing;
When springs run low, and on the brooks
An Idle golden freighting,
Fright leaves slit noiselessly in the hush
OF woods, for winter waiting
When comrades seek sweet country haunt
Bytwos and twos together,
And count like misers, hour by hour,

nent that he has no present
intention of resigning. But
there are other things which
point to the probability OF
his doing 40. The Secretary
of War has less patronage
than any other member of
the cabinet, butSecretary La
mont has not availed himself
even of the little at his dispo-
sal. and may believe that 1t
is because he wishes his sue

which has bean commented

paper--well, you don't pay
for it at all. There is anoth-
er man tn lnsntion. He has
taken his county paper for
say, ten years. 1t has been
a source Of pleasure to him
and his family for q decade.
It has given him puff after
puff. When the baby died it
contained a hall column obit
uary which was dear to him.
but commonplace to all the
other resders. When his.
daughter married it had al
most acolumn OF uffabout
tho handsome bride and the
intelligent groom, when the
truth about tho matter was,
the bride was Ugly as home
made sin, and the groom did
not have sense enough to-
come in when it rained. 1t
had contained all these q n d
much more oflike nature, but
one day the editor wrote him
that he would like to h ave
pay for sending him his pa
per ten years. AM this man
gets mad and tells the editor
to stop his paper, for it ain't
worth a d-n anyway. Such
a man may be a good father
and a kind husband, but I
doubt it.
But the worst man of all ID
he who takes bis county pa
per for years, and without
making any Zoology or pay
Ing 4 red cent, has the post
master to notify the editor
that he doesn't want his pa
per any longer. If soch q man
won't steal, it is because he
had 4 good mother.
The local paper builds up
yonr county, develops it's re-
sources aghtsforother people
ana gets kicked and abused
because it dses not do more.
In to-day's mail you m a "
have received the New York
Void, and Harpers Weekly
but I'll het anything in the
world that you read the Jour
nal first. Still the county pa
pers are not worth q cent.
Queer, isn't it? | tell you,
kind reader, this is a queer
world ami the people living
in it are the queerest oi all.--

The Country Paper.


The most abused, the least
appreciated and, at the same
time, the most potential fac
tor in the community is the
local paper. You don't think
SO; | know you don't, butts
the truth. The local paper
does more for itscounty than
all the blanket" daily or
weekly paperscombined. Not
an issue passes but W h a t
some enterprise or individu-
al receives a free advertise
ment; not a worthy cause but
what it champions and es-
pouse. But still the woods
are full of men who embrace
every opportunity to curse
theircounty paper, and swear
it isn't worth picking mp in
the road. Of course it may
not always have as much
news and be as bright and at
tracsive as it ought to be,
but that Ia because you have
not paid your subscription
for two years, and the editor
is forced to maui rails occa-
sionally fora living. The next
time you think your paper is
dull, send the editoryoursub
scription and see if the next
issue isn't better.
You forget that it costs
something to make a paper,
and the editor must pay his
expenses and make q living
besides. Then you meet an
other class of people who are
eternally asking why the edi
tor puts 80 many advertise
ments in paper? Why, bless
your soul, man, that Ia the
editor's only source Of reve-
nue.. II he were to print no
advertisements and depend
npon such subscribers you
he would bein the po0r-house
in lees than a month.
Another class Of men can't
understand why they canget
a city weekly for hall what
t heir comfy paper costs.
These same people can't nm.
de-stand why water doesn't
run up hill, either. The city
weekly is printed from dead
matter that has been used on
daily sditionsand hencecosts
nothing for composition. But
the matter in a county pa
per IS set upand used forone
edition only Then you pay
for the ity weekly in advance
