If there is one place above anoth-
er where truthful, prudent man is,
and of right should be, appreciated
and where the fakir and sensation
monger is detested, it is on the cor
respondence or reportorial staff of a
reputable newspaper. That there
are newspapers that encourage ''fake"
news is a lamentable fact, and a blot
upon the honorable profession. One
of the worst examples in recent years
of the fakir's work through the press
was the story, started no one knows
where, or by whom, but which new
ertheless gained a wide circulation,
to the effect that the innocence of
Theodore Durant, the young man
executed in San Francisco a few
years ago, for the murder of two
young girls in San Francisco church,
had at last been established, through
the confession of the pastor of the
church where the crime was commit
ted. The story was very nicely con-
cocted, stating that the minister, on
his death-bed, had made full con-
fession of the crime. and that Dur
ant, who was convicted on purely
circumstantial evidence, had been
fully indicated. 1t now turns out
that the story is fake from begin
ming to end. The minister made no
death-bed or any other sort of con-
fession. and there is not now and
never has been any evidence to dis
credit the findings of the court in the
conviction of Durant. -"Pointers.

No, my son, neither the Repub-
lican nor the Democratic party
contains all the patriotism, and
when you hear some old fellow tell
ing how patriotic his party is, and
in fact his party contains all, you
can put it down that there are some
loose screws in that fellows ''upper
story, which, if not frightened very
soon, will land him in the state in
stitution prepared for that class of
people.

If the business man sees fit to daub
his note heads and envelopes with a
rubber stamp and thus lead outsid-
ers to think there is no printer in
his town he ought to be salted. Such
man as that when he comes to die
ought to have his obituary and US
ual resolutions of his lodge printed
on board fence with a rubber
stamp. And when he has a baby at
his house, or party, or son or
daughter gets married, full account
of the important event might be
printed with a rubber stamp on a
sheet of wrapping paper and tackled
on his front door. And when he is
candidate for Office he might rub
Der stamp himself label to the
effect that he wants to be road over
seer or constable or justice of the
peace, as the case might be, and
pin it on the bosom of his pants.
And when the opposition jumps on
to him he might just stamp another
label saying it's blamed lie and
pin it on too. Come to think of it,
there is no end of use a rubber
stamp might be put to in the hands
of an enterprising and economical

A dispatch from Topeka to the

Charles Hodgman, a druggist, who

A Washington dispatch to a Bos-
ton paper runs as follows: "Society
here is surprised over a story of an
expected visit of the stork to the
Dewey home. Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey have returned to Beauvoir,
their country home, near the capital
and gossip is busy with the reasons
for the abandonment of Narragan-
sett, where it was supposed they
were to spend the season. Before
the Deweys went to Narragansett,
Mrs. Dewey was reported to be in
bad health, which prevented her
from participating in various social
incidents. 1t was reported that she
had improved while in Narragansett
and the home coming was a sur
prise. The story came out in the
usual way-a visit to Mrs. Dewey
and the finding of her busily engag-
ed examining fine bits of lace, little
garments and doll clothes. The
friends smiled, and asked if Mrs.
Dewey was fond of dolls, whereupon,
the story goes, the secret was out"

ficially informed the carnival associa-
ton nat he felt satisfied that his line
and others had agreed to offer the so
rate. This is regarded as valuab BILE
concession and will be sure to bring
the people from the bleak regions of
north and east Texas who desire to
bask in FL Paso's sunshine in January
The size of the crowd to take ad-
vantage of this low rate can not be
estimated for il will doubtless be i'm
