editor at running a paper. OF course
you can. The man does not live who
can't beat an editor at running paper
The editor is willing to acknowledge that
that you can. He only runs it because
you have not time to, but this fact need
not keep you from giving him a word of
encouragement occasionally He makes
mistakes. OF course he does, but the
fact that when ne does make one so
many people come to tell him of it makes
him think that he doesn't make them
very often, so you should be careful not
to overdo it. If you see anything wrong
in the paper just think to yourself that
no matter how quick you go to tell him
of it about 200 of your neighbors and
friends will have been there before you.
Ii you live next door, or just across the
road from the newspaper office, you can
slide over ana get paper while the dew
(and probably the due is on it yet, and
hastily glance through it. II there is an
error OF any kind in it, you can't help
but see 1t, Tor you always read them, you
know, whether you do anything else or
not. Then you can rush to the Office and
rake down the editor, and still have all
the rest of the day to gloat over your good
luck to your friends, and enjoy their
chagrin at being forestalled by you. AS
soon as people learn this idea property
Will double II price as it nearS the print
ing office.
But, dear friends, while you are thus
spending your energies and wearing out
your lives TO find fault with the editor,
don't forget to mix just little sugar with
1t, or you viii get him case hardened, so
that he won't care q continental about
your opinion, and will go on and do just
as he pleases, regardless of your criti-
cisms. once in about seventy-five Years
1t is well enough to give him just the
slightest encouragement. Don't give
him more than homeopathic dose, or he
mightget proud, and however small the
chunk of iattery you administer you had
better put a cathartic pill OF criticism i'll

HERO OF A TRAGEDY.
How Dog Showed His Grief for the
Loss OF Good Friend.

Loss OF Good Friend.
1t is a confident person who under
takS to place limit to the understanding
OF animals. The wife of a Government
official in Quebec had a spaniel named
spot and kitten whose hower-lil1e face
gave her the name of PanSy. The two
were great frienos. Spot would take
PanSy's head III his mouth and gently
roll her to and fro. One Sunday morn
ing the two were at play. The dog was
in high spirits and too rough, for alas !
when he let go of the kitten she did not
scamper away as usual.
The dog capered about her, running
backward and forward TO entice her TO
| play, but the kitten did not move Then
he turned her over with his nose, leased
her with his paw; still she did not move.
Spot then showed signs OF great uneasi-
ness. He would pause, then begin again
and coax her to get up. At length he
seemed TO realize that Pansy would never
get up any more, and then he knew the
meaning OF death. The sense of loss and
Its practical results he proceed To show.
With every evidence OF distress he car
ried her 10 the side of the walk. Then he
dug hole, put the kitten in it, and care
fully covered it with earth and went
away.
When the family came home from
church they were surprised not to be met
as usual by the dog and cat. A mem Der
of the family called from the window,
where he had been watching the sad Incl
dent, Call Spot" The dog was called
and came creeping on all tours to his mas
ter's feet, where he lay a spectacle of
grief and quiet. ASK for Pansy,"
prompted the witness. The question was
asked and the dog looked up in mute ap-
peal. The group moved down the walk
to the newly made grave, but the dog re-
fused to follow, and crawled abjectly
away. A few moves of the cane revealed
the kittens body. Spot was again called.
de came dragging himself along and lay
groveling at his masters feet. No one
could doubt the dogs anguish. 1t was not
so much their duty to blame as to console
him in his grief.

THE SMITHS.

Ihere are white Smiths, and blacksmiths, and
Smiths of all degrees;
The Smiths abound in every State. there are
Smiths across the seas;
There are tinsmithS ana gunsmitbs and
Smiths in every trade;
There are Smiths of high distinction and
Smiths of lower grade
every page;
You'll find il in each hemisphere, in every
cline and age;
Where the battles have been fiercest the
Smiths have fought and died:
In orgies and carousas they have held their
own with pride.
There was Adam Smith, who wrote book
still used in every college;
1here is Doctor Smith, the Presbyter, of theo-
logic knowledge:
And James Smith, the younger, in spite OF
nomenclature,
Was elected to the Senate by the Jersey Legis-
lature.
There Is. Mott Smith, at Washington. OF
Sandwich Island fame,
Who came to represent the Queen we hesitate
to name;
But We search the wide world over, where the
English tongue sis spoke"

Christian name is Hol1e.

THE SAINT AND THE SINNER.

Heart-worn and weary the woman sat.
Her baby sleeping across her knee
Aud the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed pitiful task for such as she
Mendlng shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor
While the bells of the sabbath day rang sweet
And the neighbors passed by the open door
The children played, and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came
When 10, on the threshold stone there stept
a prfestly figure. and named her name:
w hat shritt Is this for the Sabbath day
W hen bells are calling, and far nd near
Inc people gather to praise and pray.
Woman, why are you toiling here?n
Like one in a dream she answered low.
Father, my days are work-days all;
know not sabbath dare not go
W here the beautiful bells ring out and call
For VINO would look to the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the place9
pray in silence and try to think
For Gods love can listen and give me grace ,,
The years passed on, and with fast and PRAYER
Inc good priest climbed to the gate of rest
And a tired woman stood waiting there,
her work-worn hands to her bosom pressed.
ION, saint, thrice blessed. mount thou on high y
He heard the welcoming angels say.
When lneekly, gently, she passed him by,
Who had mended shoes on the Sabbath day.

New and Novel Way to Boom Real

As rule the rural editor gets about a
thousand kicks to one caress. Once in a
while he gets kind word and it warm s
and cheers his weather beaten, storm
racked heart to the innermost core. Most
people are afraid to tell an editor when
he writes an article that particularly
pleases them, for fear of making him
proud, we suppose, but if they find any
thing that does not accord precisely with
their views they will neglect their busi-
ness to hunt him up and tell him of it.

''There are very good reasons" says
