THE LOCAL PAPER.

In newspaper work as well as else
where distance lends enchantment to
the view" Many people imagine that
the paper published far away is for that
very reason better than the home paper.
But this is often not the case.
Every one should be deeply interested
in the home paper-support it heartily.
The newspaper is the greatest means
for spreading knowledge in existence.
It is the one means. the only one. that
reaches all the people with knowledge,
and hence is at once school, professor
and textbook combined.
The newspaper, more and more, is
catering to the tastes of all classes. Its
editorial policy may be for one party or
denomination, but in its pages will be
found a vast variety Of opinions on all
kinds of subjects. The secret Of the sue
cess of the great dailies is this-that
they have opened their columns to all
kinds of ideas. I am sure that this is
the method and purpose of all local pa
pers who know the trend of things and
appreciate the situation.
The editor who would admit nothing
into his pages but that which agreed
with his own views would certainly be
out of place and not succeed.
As the forum where opinions and
theories meet and clash, lose and win,
the local paper is great institution.
and is destined to have a still greater
future.
Along the two or three lines limited
above-viz, % greater variety, (2) more
literary finish, 90 greater accuracy in
statement, whether in argument, de-
scriptions or reports-the newspaper of
the future will develop, and editors ev-
erywhere are planning and working in
these directions. Now, the reader is not
always aware of the great difficulties
and large expenditures necessary for
snch improvements. Hence his Cor her)
warm cooperation is of great value.
Too many people, for example, do not
appreciate the fact that q notice, an
nouncement, report or article written
for the local paper should be well writ
ten. We dash of q paragraph Of news
and hand it to the editor with not much
care as to its accuracy or its graceful
ness of diction. In writing the most
commonplace of announcements we
should be as careful as in preparing an
essay that is to be perused by critic.
Again. there ara hundreds Of good
thoughts cherished in every community
that never get into print. II these sim
cere and capable people would write Ont
their dearest opinions. putting them in
tcrisp, clear. terse and smooth sentences.
editors would be glad to publish them.
These arc only few Of the many
ways that we. dear reader, can helDtho

''It will be impossible to establish

this voice to employees and giving it

It is impossible to dispose of these
difficult matters in town meetings.
Nevertheless, the town meeting must
be at the base of any successful plan OF

to bring the employer-whoi in this case

ANEcooTe OF FIELD.

The 4oee II Recalled BY Means Of Aneo-
0oee In Many Newspaper Omces.
Many anecdotes illustrating Eugene
Field's character are told IN the news
paper Offices Of st. Louis, where he did
his first newspaper work. The paper
with which he was connected was never
prosperous, and strikes among the re-
porters were as numerous as among
the compositors on account of failure
to get their pay.
One day big story occurred in
Field was ordered to go sfter it, and
given two dollars for expenses. He
spent about half Of it for meal, and
then went to the depot to get his train.
While waiting for it woman from
Kansas, with several children with her,
trying to get east to some point in In
diana, came into the depot stranded.
Field heard the story. and, placing his
remaining dollar in a hat, took up q
collection for her, raising the money
necessary to send her to Indiana.
In the meantime, the train for the
scene OF the story pulled away and his
paper was beaten on it the next morn
ing. The poets explanation of it to
an frate editor was: "What is story
like that to a woman with q starving
family who wants to get back homer"
One day the business manager. after
having vainly tried to raise the money
for salaries, stood OF the staff with
promises based on the expected sue
cess Of the paper after the election was
over.
He then went to talk to Mr.. Field in
similar strain, but prefaced it by
saying: IF you owned this paper
what would you do with it in this cam
paign?"
'The way I'm feeling now" replied
the humorist, "I'd trade it for por-
terhouse steak and some hash brown
potatoes"
At another time in appreciation of
some big news beat Mr.. Field had en-
gineered a. city editor, the business
manager said: s4Gene, I'm going to
raise your salary"
If you'll just raise part Of it, old
man, I'll be satisfied. If you raise It
all, III lend you half Of It, /" replied the

SAVED LiNcoLN's LIFE.


The 8eoo0oe 1olls the Story With Ger.
rocslon.
However poor the Lincoln home may
have been, It affected the new child but
little. He was robust and active; and
life Il full Of interest to the child happy
enough to be born in the country. He
had several companions. There was
his sister Nancy, or Sarah-both names
are given her-two years his senior:
there was q cousin of his mother, ten
wears older, Dennis Hanks, an active
and ingenious leader in sports and mis-
chief; and there were the neighbors
boys. One Of the latter, Austin Cola
her, still tells with pleasure Of how he
hunted coons and ran the woods with
young Lincoln; and once even saved his
life.
Eyes" said Mr.. Gollaher, "the story
that once saved Abraham Lincoln's
life is true, but it is not correct as gen.
orally related.
abraham Lincoln and had been 60
ing to school together for year or
more, and had become greatly attached
to each other. Then school disbandcd
on account Of there being SO few schol-
ars, and we did not see each other much
for long while One Sunday my
mother visited the Lincolns, and was
taken along. Abe and I played around
oil day. Finally, we concluded to cross
the creek to hunt for some partridges
young Lincoln had seen the day before.
The creek was swollen by arecent rain,
and, in crossing on the narrow footlog.
Abe fell in. Neither Of us could swim.
I got a long pole and held it out to Abe,
who grabbed it. Then pulled him
ashere. He was almost dead, and
was badly scared. I rolled and pounded
him In good earnest. Then got him
by the arms and shook him, the water
meanwhile pouring out OF his mouth.
BY this timo succeeded in bringing
him to, and he was soon all right.
''Then a new difficulty confronted us.
If our mothers discovered our wet
clothes they would whip us. This we
dreaded from experience, and deter
mined to avoid. It was June, the sun
was very warm, and we soon dried our
clothing by spreading it on the rocks
about us. we promised never 10 tcll
the story. and never mentioned the
incident to anyone until after Lincoln's
tragic end.
abraham Lincoln had sister. Her
name was Sallie, and she was a very
pretty girl. She went to school when
she could, which was not often.
"Yes, il you must know, Sallie Lin
coin was my sweetheart. She was about
my age. loved her and claimed her as
boys do. suppose that was one reason
for my warm regard for Abe. When
the Lincoln family moved to Indiana,
l was prevented by circumstances from
bidding good-by to either OF the chill
dren. And never saw them again. "-.I

GRAY WITH TIME.

An Ancient Obelisk That Stands on the
Banka Of the Nile.
The oldest of all the obelisks is the
beautiful one OF rosy granite which
stands alone among the green fields
on the banks of the Nile not far from
Cairo. It is the gravestone of q great
city which has vanished and left only
this relic behind. That city was the
BethshemeshS of Scripture, the famous
On, which is memorable to all Bible
readers as the residence of the priest of
On, Poti-pherah, whose daughter Ase-
nath Joseph married. The Greeks call
it Heliopolis, the city of the sun, be-
cause there the worship of the sun had
shrine. It was the seat Of the most
ancient university in the world, to
which youthful students came from oil
parts of the world to learn the occult
wisdom which the priests of On alone
could teach.
Thales, Sodon, Eudoxus, rythagoras
and Plato all studied there; perhaps
Noses, too. It was also the birthplace
of the sacred literature Of Egypt, where
were written on papyrus leaves the
original chapters Of the Oldest book
in the world, generally known as 'The
Book of the Dead, = giving most strik-
ing account Of the conflicts and tri-
umphs of the life after death, a whole
copy Of fragments OF which every
Egyptian, rich or poor, wishes to have
buried with him in his coffin, and por-
tions Of which are found inscribed on
every mummy case and on the walls
of every tomb. In front Of one Of
the principal temples of the sun in this
magnificent city stood, along with .
companion, long since destroyed, the
solitary obelisk which we now behold
on the spot. It alone has survived the j

CITY AND COUNTRY CATS.
Many Curious Points OF Difference he.
tweon the Furry Animals.

Many Curious Points OF Difference BE-
tweon the Furry Animals.
An observer has noted that there ex-
ist many points of difference between
country and city cats. The country
cats, he declares, are larger and heavier
than those of the city, no reference be-
ing made in this comparison to such
civic cats as might come under the
head Of "pampered pets," but only to
plain cats-the cats of the hack yard
and the housetop. This superior weight
OF the country cat, the observer says,
is easily attributable to the diet of small
field animals and birds which it en-
joys. But there are other peculiarities
of difference. he proceeds, which are not
80 easily attributable to diet. For III
stance, the color of the country cat is
generally either gray or tortoise shell,
the commoner color being gray. On
the other hand, observes the cat expert,
the preponderating color among city
cats is black.
In the next place the color of the eyes
in city and country cats is found to be
very different, the latter leaning large
ly togray and green, while the city cats
eyes are mostly yellow and having far
more glittering in them than have their
country cousins. In the matter of
tails, too. there is difference, the city
cats tail being much longer ard car
ried more nearly on a level with the
back than that of the country cat. The
country cats paws are much flatter,
broader and softer than the towr cats,
the pads of the former being like vel
vet, and those of the latter like rubber.
Altogether, between the big tarreled
gray, light-eyed, velvet-footed country
cat, slipping noiselessly through the
young wheat stalks. and the SCI awny,
long-tailed, yellow-eyed city cat patter-
ing down IN alleyway like flying shaG-
ow, there are such differences as, will,
says the observer. result in time in the
formation of two distinct species--Felis
rusticus and Felis urbanis.-N. Y. Sun.
