THE COUNTRY PRESS.

1t is estimated that three-iourths Of
the people of the United States live in
the country and the country towns.
To this fact is due the strong hold tn e
country press retains on the American
public. The weekly country paper is
more eagerly sought than the daily
paper from the city, because it comes
home more closely to the people it
serves. 1t tells them more thorough
ly than the city paper can hope to do
of the affairs and the happenings Of
their environment.
Nor is the influence OF the rural
weekly confined to the country. Much
the larger part Of the city population
comes from the farm. The city mer-
chant, banker and professional man
cling to the old home paper. Many
years after the old ties are broken, you
will find it upon their desks. 1t is
the remaining tie that binds them to
their boyhood home and boyhood COM
panious. Week after week it comes
from the old place, with its burden OF
news and sentiment. 1t has story
OF never-ceasing interest, And no
matter what measure OF fame or for
tune the game OF life may bring to
the country bred boy, the time never
comes when he loses all interest in its
chronicles. When the days duties
are ended, and the household has
grown quiet in the still watches OF the
night, he loves to sit by the Preside,
and reading the columns of the old
home paper, live over in fancy, the
happy, needless days OF his youth. 1t
tells him a hundred things-of his old
sweetheart, the success of this compan-
ian, the failure of that; the rise oil
poor boys, the downfall Of one whose
youth was showered with the golden
sunshine OF opportunity. 10 stranger
eyes, the little weekly from some dis
tant state seems dreary and common.

Some people assume, as they think
wisely. that the only successful people
are those who get rich. The great
men Of the world have been noted for
wisdom, not wealth. The successful
lives have been those who have done
something grand and noble for the
,race-not for themselves. We do not
count that man great who lives a
miser--and yet devoting ones cner-
gies to accumulation, climbing UP on
the backs OF ones fellows, is the
mlserly character. The selfish miser-
ly wealthy man has made failure of
life. II the race had no altruism in
it, society would end in chaos in a
month. That it has not enough is
the cause of all the social and indus
trial troubles that effect the nation
today.
