ey-heavens to Betsy and six hands
around-who ever needed money to run
newspaper? Kind words are the medium
OF exchange, that do the editor-kinc

When you see an editor with money
watch him. He'll pay his bills and dis.
grace his profession. Never give an edi.
tor money. Make him trade 1t out He

Then, when you die. after having stood
around for years and sneered at the edi.

have your wife send in for three extra
copies by one of your weeping children,
and when she reads the generous notice
about you, forewarn her not to neglect to
send Is cents to the editor. 1t would
overwhelm him
Money Is a cOrrupting thing.
The editor knows 1t; all he wants Is
your heart felt thanks.
Then he can thank the printers and
they can thank the grocers.
Take your job work to the job office
and then ask for half rate, the same as
as charged for church notices. Get your
lodge letter heads and stationery printed
out Of town and then flood the editor with
beautiful thoughts in resolutions and
cards Of thanks. They make such spicy
reading. and when you pick it up filled

But money-scOrn the filthy thing. Don't
let the pure, innocent editor know any

The editor gives his bounty away.
The Lord loves cheerful giver.
He'll take care of all the editors.
Don't worry the editor. He has char

you run for Office, and lie about your pig

blow about your big-footed sons when

LINCOLN'S ESTIMATOR TWO MEN

A delegation Of preachers from Chicago
waited upon Lincoln to urge the issuance
Of the emancipation proclamation. The
spokesman urged the claim with eclesias-
tical dignity by saying: "The Lord sends
this commission to you, President Lin
coin" perhaps So" he replied, "but
isn't it strange that He should send His
message by way of Chicago" TO anoth-
er delegation urging immediate action he
said: IF you call the tail of a. sheep a
leg, how many legs will the sheep have?"
Five" replied the spokesman. "No,"
said the bothered president. ''it would on
ly have four. Calling the tail a leg would
not make it," When stately Congress
man from New Jresey presented two Of
his constituents by saying: 1T gives me
pleasure, Mr. President, to present to you
two of the wealthicst men from the south
ern part of our state" he endured pa
tiently some pompous compliments, and
then, when they retired, said: 81 should
think that the end Of the state would tilt
up when they stepped off it."-Ex.

new plan is being tried in Ohio which
threatens the extinction Of district schools
In that state. In localities number of
small schools existed which could not be
properly graded, requiring manv teachers
and large school tax. The farmers stud
led this question thoroughly and then APP
piled to the legislature for releaf. Many
| outlying school districts were abandoned
with the agreement that the children
| should he sent to the school in the center
OF the township. Covered wagons for
stormy days were provided and arrange
ment made with certain farmers to bring
the children each morning, the wagons
holding from Is to 20 persons. In two dis
trlcts pupils were carried and miles;
the wagons both ways costing about 81 a
dav, for each wagon.
AS result the expense OF education is
reduced; the attendance is much better
than under the old plan; there is less sick
ness among the children, their feet and
| clothing being kept dry In stormy wealth
er: better teachers are employed which
means better schools. Larger buildings
better fitted for school purpose are being
built. and the hew arrangement would
not be exchanged for the old. even II the
cost was as much as the old district sys-

Now, II in this way. better schools are
! secured. and school tax reduced, educat-
ors and school patrons of Washington and
adjoining counties should give this mat

commodious school building could be
erected, and successful graded school
conducted whore all the children of this
and adjoining townships might secure n
more advanced and better cducaton and
the same arrangements made in other

who were deprived of the higher branch

SOME FACTS ABOUT PENSIONERS

There is good deal of valuable and
suggestive information to be gained from
the report of our pension department one
way and another.
1t is an interesting fact that the names
of seven veterans Of the war of 1912 are
still on the pension roll of the United
States, whild not less than $500 widows
Of veterans in that contest still figure on
the list No survivor Of the war of the
revolution finds place therein. but if
teen widows and daughters of men who
fought to make this country free are paid
from the nations treasury on the pension
account.
Ohio has the largest representation
among the states Of the Union on the
pension list, l03,47l. who drew sl5.522 .O79
during the last year of record. Pcnnsyl-
ranla is the cond state in the roll hay
ing lOo,s75 pensioners. who last year drew

AT last accounts old Gomez was still
cruising around and bucking against tro-

no knowledge Of the "cementing" work
I to which he should be devotng himself.
But there is dignity as well as pathos
In the view of the situation taken by SEN
or Capdel On, the new Minister of the In
terror:
THE new Cabinet entortains' no illu-
sions. 1t is aware that weakness and
poverty are opposed to strength and
wealth. But Spain is in the position of
a duelist bound to defend his honor
against the gross insults OF more pow
erful antagonist, who although he is con-
WINGED that the result Is almost certain
death, yet feels the force of the principle
of noblessc oblige. Spain prefers posi-
BILE defeat to certain disgrace"
According to our view, the disgrace
lies only in the national sin which made
the war necessary, not in the failure of
the soldiers and sailors who die vainly
for their country. But that Spanish
Minister dares to speak truth of Spain's
present condition is really victory which
carries with 1t promise for the future

THE WAR AND BUSINESS.

1t is very gratifying TO observe that the
gloomy prediction of the effect of this war
upon business have by no means been re-
allied. Bank clcarings last week were
more than 30 per cent larger than for the
corresponding week ist year and nearly
10 per cent larger than for the correspon-
ding week of 1892. which was year of
great business activity. The govern
ment's expenditures for war preparation
do not account for this great Increase.
The prices OF stocks and securities have
been very strong ever since the war be-
gan. and average now only about two
points lower than the high level they
reached just before the destruction of the
Maine. an event which 1t was at once be-
ilcved made war imminent

been steady decline in rates OF interest.
