The Yale expositor., 1900-04-13
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

There is a slight difference between
genius and talent. Genius inveuts, and
talent takes the profits.
One brand new Webster's Interna-
tional Dictionary, indexed, for sale ut
the Expositor office cheap.
Our lady readers should remember
that their sweet peas should be planted
just as early as possible in order to Sc
cure the best results.
Mrs. Alice Moore writes us from Chi
cago that she will make her home ut
the Expositor's address changed, as
she cannot do without it.
Absent friends always appreciate o
letter from the old home, and they are
equally glad to get the home paper.
Therefore, would it not be wise act to
send absent ones a years subscription
to the Expositor? Think of the num-
Der of letters it would save writing.
We have not yet completed the
enumeration, but from progress made,
we are safe in saying that when you
find town with more men and boys
haying Bob, before their surnames,
you will have to travel somewhat. We
verify believe that in Yale there are
more Bobs than Bills.
Wood may wend its way upward in
price; but time will tumble it. That
Yankee Invention which is to hitch up
the wind and make it warm and light
our homes by electricity, will fetch the
coal and wood barons to their milk.
With no wood to split and no fires to
kindle, matrimonY will boom.
A great many newspapers that have
heretofore been published at one dol
lar per year, are now charging the
rate of one dollar and fifty cents on
account of the price of white paper
having advanced sixty per cent. The
Expositor may be forced to increase it's
subscription price, but we shall hold
to the one dollar rate as long as pos
sible. 1t would be wise for subscribers
to keep paid in advance at the one
dollar rate.
If the editor unknowingly, happens
to publish any item about man,
which item happens to be based on
false information, or leads to an un-
true inference, how hot the man some-
times gets. But, perhaps, about that
same party, the editor could publish
an item of known and provable
truth. If he should do so, what then :?
The man would be ten-fold hotter
How thankful some people ought to
be, but are not, for the truth-the edi-
tor don't publish?
An exchange says: News! News!
News It's enough to give a man the
blues-nobody married, nobody dead +,
nobody broken an arm or a head. No
one sent up for taking horn, nobody
buried and nobody born. OH for a
racket, riot, tear; somebody to give
somebody a scare. Somebody thump-
ed within an inch of his life; someone
run off with someone's wife; someone
to come in and pay up his dues; any,
thing, anything just so it's news.
How very leaky memories are! We
forget from year to year what the
weather was at such and such time
the previous year. AS life goes by we
almost forget how it used to be when
we were boys and girls. Elderly peo-
pie are quite apt to forget that they
cut about the same pranks that young
people cut now days. They remem-
Der not the parties, dances, the singings
and spellings and other amusements
that they went miles and miles TO at
tend; and reached home about the
same hour of night-or morning-as
young people now do. In those far
away days how musical the words "get
up" sounded from the bottom of the
stairs. Time has brought to these ell
derby people ripper judgment, wiser
conduct, and greater dignity of de-
meanor. Let us trust it will do as much
for the rising generation-and be as
patient as possible while so trusting.
