THURSDAY, APRIL 3. 1902.

a MERCHANT sometimes stops
his advertisement to a paper
because he can't see nine dollars
coming in for every one he pays
out. He don't seem to think it
is of any benefit to him to live
in a town with a good, live news
paper. A good newspaper is a
benefit to a town and community
the same as a church or school
and does as much good.
1t advertises, enlivens and
builds up a town and keeps it from
being forgotten. There are only
two things a man is really COM
PEELED to have, and that is food
and clothing. He is not obliged
to support church or a school
or a newspaper; he can use his
own discretion in the matter but
it is just as much his duty to
support the one as the other.
In the heart Of darkest Africa
the people have none of these in
stitutions and yet they live some
way, some how. 1t is true they
sometimes eat each other and
indulge in other heathenish prac-
tices, but they do not have to
support Il newspaper or attend
church. AS matter of course
a town can drag out a dull, life
less existence without a paper or
church or school, but as the cycles
of years roll onward the natives
of that town will fall below those
of her sister towns who have
these institutions in morals,
wealth and spirituality. No
business man, no town, no city,
no country can possibly live and
thrive without patronage, and
the man who thinks every time
he pays ten cents for one inch
space in a newspaper he should
get fourteen customers has but
poor conception of the true
benefits derived from supporting
a good live paper in his town.

Tried Friends Best.
Our Influence.

No man liveth to himself and
no man dieth to himself" is an
other way of saying that every
man is in some sense his broth
er's keeper-ls In some degree
responsible for his moral and
spiritual growth and social happi-
ness. We are as dependent on
each other for our moral and spir-
itual growth and social stimulus
as we are for part Of that which
makes physical strength and
pleases the palate.
There is no such thing as alb
solute independence. Some people
are, however, more Independent
than others. Some assume great
er responsibilities than others,
but there comes a time to every
man and woman when they need
each other. Of a failure to rec
ognize this spirit of dependence
and responsibility was born that
truth uttered so many years ago
by the immortal Burns, "Man's
inhumanity to man makes count
less thousand thousands mourn"
When we give of the best of our
own natures to help another,
we not only contribute to that
one persons enjoyment but we
give that much toward making
the world a pleasanter place for
us to live in.
1t is the direct influence of
the sun upon the earth which
draws from the latter so many
beautiful offerings-tokens of
Gods love to man-and it is the
influence of love on human ma
ture that draws from it its rich
est treasures. Only a little while
longer and the kindly sun will
will have warmed away the win
ter wind. Only a few days have
passed since the Easter flowers
told far better than the tongues
of men, the story of Resurrection
morn. So may there come to all
men some gladdening influence
to charm away the winter of sor-
row and discomfort and arouse
the spirit to new life of hope
and ambition made active by
brotherly love.

WhY lie Didn't Jump.

Here is one that a young man
who knows a good story when he
hears it heard one railroad man
tell another in a depot up the
line the other day:
"We picked up a new Irish
man somewhere up county am
set him to work brakin' on a
construction train 3 cents a mile
for wages. One day when him
and me was one the train she
got away on one of them noun
tain grades, an the first thing
we knOwed she was flyin' down
the track at about ninety miles
an hour, with nothin, in sight
but the ditch an the happy hunt
in grounds, when we come to
the end. / twisted 'em down as
hard | could all along the tops,
then of a sudden | see Mike
crawlin' along toward the end
of one of the cars on all fours,
with his face the color of milk.
l thought he was gettin' ready
to jump an l see his finish if he
did.
Mike | says, for heavens
sake don't jump!'
"He clamps his fingers on the
runnin' board to give him a
chance to round an lookin' at
me contemptuous, answers:
Jump, is it? Do yez think
I'd be after jumpin' an me
maxim money as fast as am?"-

Her Nickel was Brass.

All is not woe and lamentation
and profanity on the transit COM
pany's street cars. Occasionally
there is a smile.
The other day a respectable
old lady boarded an Olive street
car at Leffingwell avenue, and
when the conductor came through
she handed him what she sup
posed was a nickel add sank
back into her seat. The conduc-
tor looked at it and then at her,
but he could not get her atten-
tion. After an instant of inde-
cion he said:
"Madam, am very sorry, but
this is not a nickel" " starting to
hand it back.
"Not a nickel" she exclaimed.
"What is it?"
cts beer check" said the
conductor.
There was a smile around, but
this story did not end as they
usually do in such cases. The
old lady brayely accepted the
situation-and the brass check
and kept her seat to the end of
her journey-St. Louis Post-Dis-
match.

1T is generally conceded among
men of best thought, that a
newspaper best serves the peo-
pie when it tells the happenings
of the world as they are and not
as they should be. The preach
ers and reformers are supposed
to cover the field of reform and
the newspaper through its edi-
torial column frequently touches
upon the same theme, but in the
news columns facts should be
stated just as they are without
comment.
This does not mean that the
columns of a newspaper should
be filed with improper language
or that things should be told
there which the young and guile
less should not know, nor does it
mean that the space should be
given over to sensationalIsm
after the manner of the yellow
journals. Hunting up and print
ing sensations merely for the
sake Of the sensation is abomin-
BILE and reprehensible and no
modern newspaper of standing
does it, but there is not a sue
cessful newspaper of today that
does not print the news from day
to day just as happens.
True some cases have to be
handled with great care but it
is folly to say that a newspaper
worthy the name does not print
the news. The people want to
know what is going on in the
world around them, that is the
chief reason they take the papers
and it is the province and the
duty of a good newspaper to sup
ply that want in a clean legiti-
mate manner.

METHuEN,s CAREER.

British General Who Has Many
Times Been Defeated by Beers.
Fighting the Beers IN South Africa Is
a species Of diversion not calculated to
commend itself to those on pleasure
bent, nor does it add glory to military
regulations. Among the British COM
manders who have operated in South
Africa none has suffered more loss of
prestige than Lieutenant General Lord
Methuen, whose late defeat and cap
ture by General Delarey have called at
tention to his previous misfortunes in
the war.
General Methuen was the commander
who led the British army sent to the
relief of Kimberley in 1890. His first
The bee., 1902-04-03

battle in this campaign was at Bel
mont. where he captured the Bocr po.
sition. but only after losing 233 men.
At Gras Pan he encountered General
Delarey and again suffered heavy loss
es.
Continuing his march. General Meth
uen engaged the Beers at Modder River,
where his losses aggregated 452 men
after Il ten hours fight. On Dec. IL the
battle OF Masersfontein was fought,
when the British loss was $50. Among
the slain were Major General Wau-
chope, one of the most distinguished
officers of the British army, and the
Marquis of Winchester, premier mar
quis of England. After this defeat
General Lord Roberts was sent to
South Africa and finally relieved KIM
berley.
Paul Sanford Methuen is the third
baron of Methuen. He succeeded to
the title in 1891. He is fifty-seven years
old and entered the army in 1864. He
served with distinction in the Ashanti
war and also in Egypt, where he fought
at Kassassin and Tel-el-Kebir. Later
he went to Bechuanaland, where he
commanded a troop Of horse and a
field force. In 1890 Lord Methuen was
made q major general.
After Magersfonteln there was much
comment in England on his being al
lowed to retain his command. but in
fiuence at home, it is stated, kept him
his position. Lord Methuen has been a
lieutenant general since 1899. He has
been frequently mentioned in dispatch
es for bravery.
