At court in Parsons last week with
Judge Holt on the bench one lawyer
threw an ink well at another. The
missile missed its mark, however, but
scattered red ink over the lawyers
and disfgured the walls of the build
ing. The incident was closed by the
participants making an apology.
The same day respected citizen of
the town went to sleep in the court
room and snored. He was sent to
Jail by the Judge.
Wheat has picked up considerably
and the prospects are for a better
yield than was expected, though the
crop will be short. 1t has grown rap
! idly for the last few weeks and is now
coming out in head. Grass is also
growing rapidly and it is likely the
hay crop will be large, but as it has
taken new start since the rainy
weather of the past few weeks, it will
not be ready for cutting quite so soon
as it usually is. Corn is also looking
we'll and all kinds of vegetation are
growing rapidly.
A newspaper man has to do a great
many things in his calling that are
personally disagreeable to him. To
do his paper and his readers justice
he at times sacrifices friendships that
are almost priceless. He is forced to
forget himself as an individual and
reorganize himself as a part of a ma
chine. He goes after stuff that
does not interest him personally bit,
but he does it as duty. Sometimes
he is met by naughty grandee who
wants to know what business it is if
he does so and so and the editor is
given the insult direct. But he don't
pay any attention to insults. If he
did he wouldn't last day. But in a
little country town these little insults
are borne as q matter of business
policy but not forgotten and some
sweet day the editor will even up the
old scores and heal up old sores. As
things now stands he only whistles,
"There'll Come a Time Some Day."

Criticism, unkind comment, cruel
gossip, and unjust condemnation are
too frequently INDUCED in. The
grim bones" of some unfortunate
occasion or circumstance often come
home to individuals who are ever rea-
dy and willing to push scandal
and hearsay babble into the highest
recesses of society and church. 1t
matters little to them whose "heart
is pierced" during their happiest
hours of serenity: it matters not whose
character they besmear with their
tongues, leaving stain that the tears
of a lifetime cannot remove. but the
| day has never been born that the
night has not rocked to sleep, and
when the "heart piercing dagger of
error strikes home and the hour of
