FAULT FINDING.

The easiest thing to start and the
hardest thing to stop is fault-tinding;
and the poorest business a human
being ever engaged in is the starting
of d rumor or a criticism likely to
hurt somebody else. The truth is,
no man can be a correct judge of his
fellow-man's motives and conduct.
In all seriousness, no man has the
right to judge another adversely IN
less he has known him at least three
hundred years. In order to give a
correct opinion about anOthers con-
duct one must have known that
others whole life, it's environments,
trials, and temptations then he
must have been acquainted with at
least d dozen generations before him,
else he cannot make due allowance
for inherent weaknesses and evil
tendencies. Only God has the right
to express an adverse opinion about
an immortal man, because God alone
can be a perfectly just judge.-Cum-
berland Presbyterian.

LIGHTING A CIGAR WITH ICE.

The Albany Journal tells how a
patent lawyer, who is naturally an
ingenious man, supplied the place Of
a match in an unusual and unex-
pected manner.
He vas consulting with a brother
lawyer, and in the course of the
talk the second man took a cigar
from his pocket. Then he looked
for a match, but none was forth
coming.
"Never mind, " said the first man.
GA piece of ice will doequally we'll"
Lawyer Number Two laughed, but
Number One lifted the cover from
the w~ater-cooler, took out a piece of
clear ice about an inch thick,
whitfield it into the shape of a disk,
and with the palms of his hands
melted melted it's two sides convex,
thus giving the form of a double
convex lens or burning glass. With
it he focused the suns rays on the
end of the cigar, and set it on fire.

Elk Cry, Or, March 20, 1900.
TO the Editor: 1 read an article
III the last issue of your paper from
w. ]. Reidy III regard to the pro-
posed ferry to be put on the va
quina river at the mouth of Mill
creek for the accommodation of
people who may desire to cross the
river at that place. The citizens of
Elk City have no objections what
ever to ferry being put in there if
the people will keep it up and oper-
ate it themselves. Mr.. Reidy, be-
ing a public-spirited man, might
run the ferry himself and charge
toll for his trouble. We never saw
the petition for the ferry and had
no means of knowing just what
was wanted, but understand the
county was asked to put the ferry
in, keep it in repair and hire man
to run it-in short, to maintain
tree ferry. We thought this would
be an expensive business, and too
much for the county to do at the
expense of the taxpayers. This
was all the objection made, and if
nothing of that kind is contem-
plated in the petition, then, of
course, the people of Elk City have
nothidg more to say. In regard to
the bridge to be built on the Big
Elk river, of which Mr.. Reidy
makes great deal OF complaint, l
would say that bridge is badly
needed, and the people all through
that country, including Drift creek,
asked the court by petition that the
bridge be built. l think Mr.. Reidv
himselfsigned the petition. X.
