You mock them when their hearts ache
And their wounds you scorn to heal,
And you re lacking in compassion
For the pangs you never feel.
Alas, I'm growing solemn,
And you're much too sweet to scold
Who could blame q pretty blossom
That it is not sad and old?
Like the roses and the lilies,
You were born the earth to grace,
And the men, like silly mothlings,

Scarcely a week passes that some
stingy cuss don't come in and ask
us if we know of anybody that
wants to buy this or that. We tell
him no, pretty emphatically, and he
goes out murmuring that we might
mention in our paper that he had it
for sale. Ofcourse we do-not. If
a man is too Internally stingy to adj
vertise his stuff we are too contem-
ptibly mean to say anything about
it. Our space is worth so much a
line, and if you cannot afford to pay
it, we cannot afford to give them to
you. When we get anything from
business men or farmers we expect
to pay for it, and when they use our
columns for their own benefit we
expect them to pay a reasonable
compensation therefor. Newspaper
space is to a publisher what wheat,
corn or potatoes are to 4 farmer, or
what -four, coffee and sugar are to a
