Guessing matches, coupons, special pre-
miums, lotteries and such like have about had
their day. Let US be thankful. Fake journal
ism is fraud. A newspaper, like everything
else, must win upon its merits 1t cannot, like
the mountebank, stand upon the street cor
ners, with monkey and hand-organ, trying to
hoodwink the public. Whenever a newspaper
takes on an outside accessory to catch patron
age it that far depreciates its own value-con-
fesses that it is not worth what it asks for
itself. Then it must keep it up year after year.
for when 1t quits it will lose more than it has
ever made. Big booms large cireulations Sc
cured by these methods are so much sham and
humbug, and the country is full of wrecks as a
result, Never try it, or, If you have, never do
so again.

horse in early days was hanged for it, as his
value to civilization was above price.

touching on the horse was told me by an old
minister who went out on the plains of Ne
braska to establish few missions among the
Indians and settlers. 1t appears that after he
had been in the State few weeks he was
waited upon by long, gaunt fellow who
wanted to know if the gospel leader wanted to
join the Brownsville Horsethief Club. He
