Malicious and Intentional Liar.

There are different classes Of liars.
Some people tell what are called white
lies; some people are malicious liars,
others lie purpOSely when the truth
would do better and are known as
intentional liars. The one we desire
to speak Of in this article is a com
binatiOn of all three. John T. Cooley.
one Of the editors and proprietOrS of
the new paper, is one of these liars
who combines all three classes. At the
last meeting of the common council
the matter Of ''otficial paper came up
IN which MF. Cooley gives his readers
the following account:
"Ihere was some interest developed
over the letting of the city printing.
The mayor called up the subject and
said that he presumed as there are
three papers in the city the citizens
would probably receive the greater
benefit and the publishers make just
as much or more, if all the papers
printed the proceedings and legal
notices and divide the legal rate
between them, and he asked Mr..
Drumb, editor of the Tribune, how
that would suit him. Mr.. Drumb
| responded that that arrangement
would suit him exactly. Mr.. FOntaine.
publisher Of the REPORTER. was called
upon for his views and he said in sub
| stance that he never divided very
much with anybody and was consti-
tutiOnally opposed to the idea, and
especially was he opposed to dividing
with paper that would presume tO
ask for city patronage when it had
been in existence only two months.
He insisted on being given the OppOr-
tunlty to take all or nothing, however
little that all might be. The repre-
sentative OF the Leader Of course
expressed willingness to divide. but
said any arrangement would suit the
Leader people"
OUR STATEMENT.
1--WE said that we were always
willing to divide where other things
were equal, but the REPORTER was
not willing to divide in this case with
paper that had been in existence
only two months. We would rather
that it be left to the lowest bidder"
John +. Cooley, sat only about six
feet away from US when we made the
above statement and heard every
word we said. We therefore charge
I him with purpOSely miSrepreSenting
our position, and maliciOusly and
Intentionally lying about US. He also
misQuOted Mr.. Drumb, as he said in
answer to Mayor Wheelan's inquiry.
THAT he was willing to divide with
the other papers. Mr. Cooley even
misQuotes himself: when called upon
for an opinion by the Mayor, he said:
Il am willing to divide or am willing
to bid, it makes no difference to me. "
Further to show how malicious he
was in this matter, through Mr..
Drumb we had offered to divide with
him, but not on an equal basis with
the Tribune and REPORTER and he
refused the offer. Therefore he knew
we were willing to divide but not just
to suit him.
AS we understand it the Leader
cannot act as the official paper
for the city because they cannot give
an official publication Of an ordinance
Or make any other legal publication.
To be able TO serve the city in this
respect they will have to be in
existence two years.

universally known and a remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medi-
cine ID the world since 1868. for the
cure and treatment of consumption
and throat and lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to BoSchee'S German

December's Names.

December. so called from being the
tenth month when the year began in
March, has probably had more names
conferred upon it than any other of the
twelve into which our year is now di-
vided. Among the early SaXons it was
called Winter MOnat, or winter month.
After their conversion to Christianity
they called it Ieligh Monat, or holy,
month, in honor Of the birth Of Christ
In later days in Germany it was called
Christ Monat for the same reason.
Fires used to be lighted for warmth in
this month, and the want Of chmneys
used to cause n too obvious inconven-
fence, which led to it's being called Flu
mosus, or smoky. 1t was also dubbed
Canus, or hoary, from the SHOWS or
hoarfrosts which then generally whit
ened the higher grounds.

Careful estimates Of the force of

A force fully equal to over 4OO, 10000

about fifteen times the power that can

Made with n Ratchet, a Club and a
Pot of Paint.


In the south seas dresses are made
with a Ratchet, club and q pot of
paint. Every housewife is her own
robe p~d habit maker. When she feels
tre need of new gown, she goes and
chops down tree. When her husband
needs a new suit, she chops down an
other tree. That is easy, for men and
women are clad exactly alike-a plain
fold Of cloth caught about the waist
and hanging loosely to the knee or
bhin. The races inhabiting the islands
Of the tropical Pacific are almost alone
in having no idea of the loom and the
various arts of the spinner and weaver
This lack is undoubtedly due to the
natural provision of material which
renders woven cloth unnecessary to
this primitive people. The only fabric
used in that part of the world is
crude, tough paper made of bast. The
tree from which the material is derived
is the paper mulberry, or Broussonetia
papyrifera, which is gpown in planta-
tons under the sole charge Of women
and Is also found wild in all parts of
the islands. In archipelagoes so high
ly advanced as Samoa and Tonga.
where women have none of the coarser
work to do, the entire care of the null
berry plantations rests with the wom-
en- of each village.
The trees are planted closely to IL.
sure spindling growth without lat
eral branches. The plant will grow
from seed. In such a climate there Is
no difficulty about getting things to
grow, but experience has shown that
better results follow the planting Of
twigs from the sturdier wild trees. In
about three years from planting the

and the trunk will have uniform di-
ameter of rather less than two inches.
About four feet of the trunk is waste
