COUNTRY newspaper publishers are very much like people who hustle for a subsistence in any other way. If you do them a fa- vor, they return it, if you are kind to them they appreciate it, and they are friendly to their friends for why should they not be-? They resemble their fellow crea- lures in another way. They will not expend money, time and brains in explaining to the pub- lie what a fine enterprising fellow Jones is, when Jones will not spend a few cents in support ing the paper. If Brown wants a job, they do not feel like paying postage and worrying their friends and their patrons to pro- cure him position when Brown who thinks nothing of smoking and drinking a dollar or two in one evening-is not a subscriber to the paper. In fact, they are like the rest of the human family, they stick to those who stick to them; they support those who support them.

THE state pension board has practically concluded arduous la- bors of nearly month, says the Arkansas Democrat. About A. 800 claims have been passed upon and very few disallowed, as it was found that the county boards did their work well and thorough ly. The claims aggregate S261,- 645, and as there are only S49, ,00O available, it follows not more than 19 per cent of the amounts allow ed can be paid. So S100 pen sion will get only S19, a $50 pen sion S950, and a S25 pension S4.75. The additional levy pro- vided by the last legislature is not available until next year.

"The Best is the Cheapest.O

Not how cheap, but how good, is the question.
 The TWICE-A-WEEK RE- PUBLIC is not as cheap as are some so-called newspapers. But 1t is as cheap as it is possi- : ble to make a first class newspa- per. It prints all the news that is worth printing, if you read it all the yearround, you are posted on all the important and interest ing affairs of the world. Itis the best and most reliable newspaper that money and brains can pro- duce-and those should be the distinguishing traits of a newspa- per, that is designed to be read by all members of the family.

IT is mistaken notion, says a practical housekeeper, that a room can be kept cooler by leav- ing the windows open than clos ing them during the entire day. All windows and doors should be open the first thing in the morn ing, to let the air and sunlight sweep through the house. As soon as the morning work is fin ished all the windows on the sun- ny side of the house should be closed and the blinds drawn, to exclude the hot air. When the sun is well in the west open them, and the room will be found to be delightfully."- cool.

SPEND your money in distant city and all you will receive are the goods you buy. Spend it right here at home and it will surely come back to you, not only in the goods you purchase but in better streets, better schools, and in fact, better everything. Did you ever stop to think about this matter? When you help your town you are helping yourself di- rectIy or indirectly.

A LAWYER in a court room may call a man a liar, scoundrel, vii l. Han or thief, and no one will make a complaint when court adjourns, says the Marshall Wave. If a newspaper prints such reflections on a mans char acter, there is libel suit or a dead editor. This is owing to the fact that the people believe what the editor says. What the lawyer says cuts no figure.

THE printing press has made presidents, killed poets, punished genius, and critics; it has cur tailed the power of kings, and graced the pantry shelves; it has converted paupers into bankers and made lawyers out of bank presidents; it has educated the homeless and robbed the philoso- pher of his reason; it smiles and cries and dies but it cannot be run to suit erybody and a man Is a fool who tries 1t.

EX- -Gov.

The new postal rule restricting
the second class rates to periodicals
honestly entitled to them went into
effect on Oct. l. This rule will
exclude from the mails a vast
amount of matter, in the way Of
books published as serial publicas
tions, periodicals which depend for
their subscription list upon the
offer of premiums, and unsOld
copies of periodicals, whiah have
heretofore been returned by news
agents to publishers at pound rates.
1t is calculated then an immense
saving in the postal expenditures
will result from the new rule, which
will Justify the continued extension
CT the rural free delivery and other
improvements in the service.

on Eighth avenue one morning re-
Gently. A poorly dressed old man
climbed aboard and tried to crowd
into place alongside another old
man, whose finely woven Panama
hat told of his wealth, says the New

Here, what are you trying to do,'
growled the man with the expensive
hat, glancing up from his paper.
There's no room here"

the poor man.. in tone of apology.
He turned toward the rich man,
and in so doing showed him a cop
per button on the lapel of his coat.
The rich man stared for a moment,
then held out his hand

for you" he said, as he crowded
over. "I didn't know you were a
grand army man."
The poor man in turn saw the cop
per badge in the other mans coat.
Where were your" he asked.
"Gettysburg," answered the rich
man. And your"

At Twenty-third street they got
off the car, the old soldier who was
poor and the one who was rich, and
arm in arm they headed for the near
est drinking place to finish talking it
over. The button of copper and the
memories it called up had removed
the differences which existed between
their stations in life.
