Pity John D. Rockefeller even though
he is Millionaire. But he's got no
stomach, absolutely none. He's got
on hair. His heads as bald as the palm
of your hand. He's got no blood. He's
got no nerves, or he's all nerves, if you
want to put it in that way. He's got a
throat that makes him pray for hypo-
dermic food every time he swallows.
He's got nothing except money, that
anyone else would wish to have and he's
in hard luck. Mr.. Rockefeller has Just
offered 81, ,000, 900 for new stomach,
and there's no string in the offer,
neither New York World.
Did you ever stop to think what an
untiring and steady letterwriter good
local paper is? Week after week,
reaching into years, it goes on telling
of marriages, births, deaths, the com
ing and going of the people, the sue.
cesses aud failures, the accidents, crops,
improvements, parties, revival meet
ings, socialism fact, events of all kinds.
All is grist that comes to the hopper of
a good local newspaper. Why, if you
were to undertake to write letter
each week to an absent friend and tell
half the news your local paper gives,
you would soon give up in despair
The supposed pleasure would soon be-
come tiresome bore.
1t is poor occupation to be contin-
ually seeking Sights. Some men are
forever fishing for compliment or figur-
ing out Sights. They are thin -skined,
weak museled things who need careful
handling and delicate tasks. They
haven't enough gumption to finish
a job without an admiring audi
ence shouting words encouragement;
or if perchance they do carry a task TO
completion and the plaudits of the
multitude do not follow, they must
need feel hurt. The only person man
needs to please is himself And this
does not mean that he must be selfish
No man is ever satisfied with his work
if he is man and not simply ego
but he can be satisfied that he has done
his best. No man can do better; and
what does it matter what people thinkP
The hearing of J. NJ. White charged
with enticing little girl into his room
in local hotel for criminal purposes,
was announced yesterday to be held at
2 o'clock this afternoon, but late in the
day it was changed to 10 o'clock this
morning. At 10 o'clock a number of
witnesses for the prosecution we're on
hand. Attorney Cunningham for the
defendant asked that the hearing be
postponed as the defendant had not
been able to prepare his case or had he
any witnesses present, but Attorney
Stone, representing the Mexican County
Humane society, the complainants in
the case, wanted the hearing to be held
then and there as the only witnesses
the eprisoner could obtain to day were al.
ready present. The alderman seemed
to favor hearing Immediately and the
defendant then waived hearing. The
bail was placed at $500. White is an
old man and claims that he was a SOL
dier in the civil war and that he fought
on the Monitor in the famous sea on
gagement with the confederate Merri.
