treat the local newspaper, an exchange
patty says Take joD work To the job
Offices and then come and ask for
free church notices. Get your lodge
letter heads and stationery printed
elsewhere and then flood the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolutions
OF respect and cards of thanks. They
make such spicy reading aud when you
pick it up, filled with these glowing
and vivid mortuary articles, you are so
proud OF your local paper. The editor
gives his bounty away. The Lord loves
"A cheerful giver. He'll take care OF the
editor. Don't worry about him. He'll
get out the paper somehow, stand up
for the town, whoop it up for you
when you run for Office, and lie about
your pigeon-toed daughters wedding,
and blow about your big footed sous
when they get 81 week Job, and
weep over your shriveled soul when il is
released from your grasping body, and
smile at your giddy wifes second mar
riage. Don't worry about the editor,
he'll get on. The Lord knows how
but somehow"

Rev. James H. Rennie of Ouray,
Colo, may return to London, England,
where he was four years ago, on ac-
count of the sudden death, by heart
disease, of Gen. III. St. Clair Wilkins,
A. ID. G. @, of the Royal Engineers
General wilkins has for many years
been special attendant of the queen,
have had charge of her drawing rooms
on all royal occasions. Mrs wilkins,
the wife of General Wilkins, had a
brother in this country for many years,
Lieutenant Colin Campbell Mcintyre,
who resided at Paw Paw, Mich,
prior to his death, two years ago. At
that time Mrs. Wilkins appointed
Rev. James ii. Rennie, then pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Paw Paw,
as administrators of his estate, and so
efficiently and satisfactorily was the
trust executed, that now, having lost
her husband, he may go to England and
assist her there. In addition to the
property owned by her husband in
London, Mrs. Wilkins owns large es-
tate in the northeastern part of Eng
land, and also an estate near Aberdeen,
Scotland, the birthplace of both Mrs.
wilkins and Mr.. Rennie. The fact that
MIR. Rennie is connected with some en-
terprises in this city, in addition to his
labors as devoted minister of the
Presbyterian church, makes il question
able whether he can comply with the
request.-Denver Times
