THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

In every city in the land the news
paper man Is an nutcast, says GeralC
Stanley Lee in February Atlantic
He knows more people to be a stranger
to than any other being in the world
.TTe has no holidays. His Christmas is
the record Of other mems joys. His
Thanksgiving is 4 restaurant. Even
the Fourth Of July and Sunday, ser
wants of the commoneSt men, refuse
him their cheer. The Fourth of July
is the day he must be in every Place at
once, because everything Is happen
ing; and Sunday is the day he must
make things up. because nothing is
happening. His labors are our pleas
ures. He gets his vacation by doing
another mans work, and earns his
living by watching other people live
The very days and nights turn their
natural backs upon him. The lamp is
his sun by night and the curtain his
night by day, and he eats his supper
in the morning. His business is the
reflection Of life. He Is the spirit be-
hind the mirror. What Is left to US
Is right to him, and right is left
sometimes right side up is upside
down. The world is awry to the
newspaper man. 1t whirls across the
hours in columns, now in one edition
and now in another, but it heeds him
never in return. He Is a spectator.
The show passes before his face-a
shut-Out, unsllarlng face. He lives as
the years go on, a notebook under the
stars, and when the notebook Is s:rib.
bled out. Men who might be i'm
moral, morning after morning, week
after week, year after year, fighting
to be allowed to live in the current of
a day to hold to, only to go under like
the rest--a few bubbles-a two inch
obituary at the bottom OF column,
by the man who is going under next,
and the story Is told. The man who
can furnish quantity and quality at
once, who can thrive on the lmpos.
sible, who can swim in the whirlpool
ins tead OF heing carried with 1t, Is the
man who sums up In himself not only
the definition of what the problem is
In literature, to-day, but the answer
to the problem.

IRISH WIT.

A lady had in her employ an excel
lent girl who had one fault. Her face
was always in a smudge. Mrs. =
tried to tell her to wash her face with.
out offending, and at last resorted tC
strategy.
"Do you know, Bridget" she re.
marked In a confidential manner, at
is said that il you wash the face every
day in hot soapy water it will make
you beautiful?"
"Will it?" said Bridget. "Sure it's
Il wonder ye never tried it, MAMA"
The above will do to 20 with an

Investigation Of the causes, effects,
and means OF prevention OF forest fires
In the West, will he carried on this
summer in Washington, Oregon, CALI
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah,
Colorado. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,
South Dakota. Besides fleld study,
designed chiefly to discover means OF
preventing the evil, the DivisiO is
making historic record OF all inn
portant fires which have occurred Id
the United States since 1854. AL.
though yet incomplete, this indicates
that the annual recorded loss by forest
burnings In the United States is, at
the very lowest, s2O,OOO,OO0. 1t will
probably run far above this sum, as
the disastrous fires have been obtain
ed In seventeen States already ex-
amined. Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin have suffered the most Sc.
verely. These records are taken chiefly
from newspapers, and where 1t has
been possible tn compare them with
the figures OF practical lumbermen, it
has been found that the tendency OF
the press is to underestimate the
damage.

THE TRUE MIN.
by CHARLES MACKAY.l


"A mans man." says Robert Burns,
"For a. that and a. that"
But though the song be clear and strong,
1t lacks note for a. that.
The lout who'd shirk his daily work,
Yet claim his pay and a. that,
Or beg when he might earn his bread,
Is not man for a. that.
If all who dine on homely fare
Were true and brave, and a. that,
And none whose garb is "hodden gray
Was fool and knave and a. that,
The vice and crime that shame our time
Would fade and fall and A. that,
And ploughmen be as good as kings,
And churls as earls for a. that.
You see yon brawnv, clustering sot,
Who swaggers, swears, and a. that,
And thinks because his strong right arm
Might fell an OK and a. that,
That he's as noble, man for man,
AS duke or lord and a. that;
He's but brute beyond dispute,
And not a man for a. that.
A man may own large estate,
Have palace, park and a. that,
And not for birth, but honest worth,
Be thrice man for a. that;
And Donald herding on the muir,
Who beats his wife and a. that,
Be nothing but rascal-boor,
Nor half a man for a. that.
1t comes to this, dear Robert Burns
The truth Is old and a. that
"The rank is but the guinea's stamp:
The mans the gold for a. that"
And though you'd put the minted mar
On copper, brass and a. that,
The lie is gross, the cheat is plain,
And will not pass for a. that.
For a. that and a. that,
IT'S soul and heart and a. that.
That makes the king gentleman,
And not his crown and a that;
And man with man, if rich or poor,
The best is he for a. that
Who stands erect, in self-respect,
And acts the man for a. that.

LET THE MAN REFORM BE

"a girl should never marry a man

himself worthy by turning from evil
and setting his face steadfastly and
perseveringly to good before he ask
girl to surrender herself and her life
To him. Nor should q girl be too I'm

PUZZLING BOAT NAMES,

Detroit Free Press
1t used to he the custom among
small boatmen plying the Detroit and
st. Clair rivers and the intervening
lake to name their vessels in the i'm
perative mood. Thus it came to pass
that there was whole flOtilla OF
scOws named You Go, You Stop, You
Fly, You Swim, You Sink, You Fish
You Drink, and the like. As may be
imagined, this peculiar style Of nom.
enclature was frequently very puzzling
to those unfamiliar with the state OF
affairs.
Out In the Detroit river one dark
night skipper of Il big propella that
was picking its way carefully upstream
called out to one OF the small vessels
that was bothering him by its prox-
unity:
"Ahoy there! What boat is that'"
"Yop Tell" was the lacOnic answer
"Who are you, l sayP" repeated the
angry skipper
you Tell" was the same answer
that came back across the dark water
"C0nfound you, how in thunder can
l tell? Where do you hail from?"
"DetrOit."
Sand what do you call yourself?"
"Y0u Tell. you old fool"
The captain gave 1t up in anger and
despair. Shortly afterward lie ran
across another river boat. "Ah0y
there! Who are you?" he sang out.
"You Guess?" he sang out.
"Yuu Guess"
"None Of your nonsense. Tell me
who you are or I'll run you down"
"You Guess, l told you. What ship
are you?
"YOu 20 to -" was the angry
retort, as the propeller forged ahead
into the darkness with the fumes of
sulphur and birthstone no sering about
her wheelhOuSe.

Sunday, never failing to contribute
something to the service to the half

be seen at all hours Of the day Or
night, prowling the streets or over.
