SHOULD az KICKED OUT.

+ HERE is in Deposit, New York, a
L young man who ought 10 be kicked
out of the newspaper business. This
young man is a reporter on a paper in
Deposit. He was also the correspond
ent there Of he Associated Press. The
news gathering organization depended
upon him to furnish it, and through
it ali of the great newspapers Of The
country, a report OF the speech deliv-
cred recently by David y. Hill at De-
post. And The young man did fur
nish a report
He sent to the Associated Press q re-
port of the speech and the Associated
Press sent that report from one end Ct
the nation 10 the other. 1t was taken
for granted that the report was accu-
rate. It was not. 1t did not even APP
proximate accuracy. Tie truth is that
the young man never went to hear Mr..
Hills speech at all. Instead Of going
to hear it ne busted himself in some
other way and when the time to send
out his report came he wrote a speech
for Mr.. Hill.
Now we think very highly Of the
ability of the average newspaper re-
porter. The reporters lave written
speeches and interviews without num-
Der for politiciang. Many a political
reputation has been builded on
speeches and interviews written for
the owners of those regulations by
newspaper men. Through the kindly
consideration Of reporters many of our
public men have been saved from the
modification that follows when ridic-
ulous assertions are made. But no
newspaper man has any business writ
ing for politician a speech unless The
politician himself requests it.
The Deposit young man probably
wrote the Hill speech in order to save
his job. Instead of saving it ne has
almost surely lost It. 1t would have
been far better for that young man
If he had frankly confessed his neglect
Of duty to the Associated Press. Ger
tainly he will never again be employed
in any capacity by that organization.
Nor viii he be able to secure en-
ployment in any reputable newspaper
Office where this bit Of his history is
known.
The great aim Of modern newspapers
and news gathering organizations Is
accuracy. They would rather print no
story at all than an inaccurate story,
and when inaccuracies do creep into
print, as, it must be confessed, they
often do, it is not through lack of ef-
fort on the part of the newspaper 10
get the truth. The man who is adj
dicted TO the taking habit is a news
paper Pariah today, and properly so.
The day of the fake" and the ''fal5erp
has long since passed.

PRlSED.
Remarkable Result of Business Enter
prise and Foresight.

Remarkable Result of Business Enter
prise and Foresight.
When Milford r. Burt, the enter
prising druggist, rather than await the
ordinary methods of introduction, urged
the DR.. Howard Co. to secure sale
quickly in Middebury for their cele-
brated specific for the cure of constipa-
ton and dyspepsia, by offering the
regular 80 cent bottle, containing 60
doses, at half price, he did not antici-
pate the phenomenal success that has
resulted
The wonderful sale for the specific as
a result of his plan was as much of a
surprise to Mr.. Burt as to anyone. He
has not only sale for DR., Towards
specific here in Middlebury that is far
larger than many of the old standard
remedies, but he is almost daily in re-
ceipt of mail orders for the specific.
So much favorable talk has been
caused by this offer, and so many new
friends have been made for the specific,
that the DIR. Howard Co. have author
lied Druggist Burt to continue this
special half price sale little longer.
In addition to selling the regular so
cent bottle of DIR. Towards specific for
% cents, Mr.. Burt has so much faith in
the remedy, from seeing what it has
done for his customers, that he will
refund the money to any one whom it
does not cure.
One great advantage of the specific is
its small dose and convenient form.
There are sixty doses, months treat
ment, in a vial that can be carried in
the vest pocket or purse. And every
dose has more medicinal effect and
curative power than a big pill or tablet
or tumbler of mineral water.

remarkable results follow its use, that |
am always glad to give a written guar
antee with every box of Mona l sell to
refund the money if it does not increase
the weight, regulate digestion and
restore health.
"Quite a good many people order
Mona from me by mail and the same
guarantee is given when sold in that
way. 1t costs SOC. for large-sized box,
and in almost every case it does what is
claimed for it-regulates digestion,
increases weight and restores health.
If it does not do this, the cost is nothing,
and l am ready to refund the money
when the empty box comes back.
Every one who is thin and weak
and in poor health ought to accept an
offer like this" says Druggist Sheldon.
The Register agrees with him in con-
sidering it good chance for people to
get well without the possibility of spend
ing their money uselessly.

LETTER 81. A. SKlFF.
MIDDLEBURY. VERMONT.

Dear Sir: The cheapest thing in the
way of sending anything over the world
is a postage stamp; and the cheapest
way to shed water is paint.
Not whitewash; paint: Do you hap
pen to know-it don't belong to your
business to know about paint, you know
do you happen to know that most of
the makers of paint stuff it out with
lime and clay and sand and water and
air?
They do stuff it out in the can; but
not on the house. They make more
gallons to sell or to buy; more money to
pay for putting it on; good deal more
money to pay for putting it on; but no
more beauty; more rust; decay; disap-
pointment; loss.
Devoe is your paint, because it's all
paint, no sham, and full-measure.
Yours truly

will be of interest here:
George w. d. Blazo, brother of R. j..

Cal, Sunday morning, May /, at the
age of 81 years. He was a veteran of
the Civil War. The brothers came to
Topeka in 1858 and two years later
George removed to Stockton, Cal, where
he has resided until one year ago, when
he located near Carriers. His death

Blazo of Topeka received word merely
that his brother had died, the cause of
his death not being stated.

TRADE AT HOME.

This is the time of year when
people in the rural districts begin
to hunt up the catalogs of the big
department stores in the large
cities to see what will be nice to
buy for the holidays. If you
should call on the postmaster and
express agent and inquire you
would be dumbfounded to learn
the amount of money that is sent
out of the community in this way.
In all communities the home mer
chant carries a stock of goods OF
as great variety and value as he
can possibly afford. Did it ever
strike you that you might find
Just what you wanted in the store
of the home merchant at trifie
more than it might cost you in
San Francisco, Sacramento or Chi
cago? Did it ever strike you that
it is a sort of duty you owe your
community to patronize your home
merchant? Did you ever stop to
consider that your home merchant
is the one who gives you credit
when your cash is short and car
ries your account, maybe for some
months when your crop is poor or
the market SO low that you do not
like to sell? Would any of the
outside concerns do this for you?
Is it not a fact that your home
merchant pays taxes to keep up
the county and town government,
contributes to your churches and
schools and is your neighbor the
year round? Do the outside con-
Germs take any interest in your
community other than to get your
money, and do you not have to
send them the cash before you get
their goods? Think these things
over and see if you would not feel
better to know that you are pat
ronizing a friend and neighbor by
dealing with your home merchant,
although your goods may cost you
a trifle more.

Not Yet Demonstrated.

Military theorists have b"sied themselves
during the past decade in demonstrating on
paper the destrnctiyeness Of an army armed
with modern rapid fire rifles and cannon;
they had proven to their own satisfaction
that increased range and precision and the
wondrous rapidity Of fire would destroy ar
mics so quickly and so certainly that wars
in the future would be exceptionally bloody
and as exceptionally brief.
No one doubts the courage of the Russians
and the utter disregard Of life by the Japa-
nese, and there have been several quite seri
uus collisions between them. but until they
kill men very much faster than they have as
yet, the theory referred to will remain dis
proved. There we're three battles of our
great Civil War; Pi,tsburg Landing, Antiet-
am aud Gettysburg where there were more
men killed and injured than they will kill In
an entire campaign over in Korea and Man
churia at the rate thus far reported.
Kuroki at the Yalu and Burnside at Fred
ericksburg; read the description of the two
river crossings, and you will get an idea of
IL difference in the character of the fight
ing in the two wars. 1t may come later, but
to date the battles of the Asiatic war have
not been of a character to class with even
the second class battles of our great war and
the theorists are wide Of the mark as to the
deadlness of the modern equipment as eyi.
derced by any engagement of the present
war.
