THE STORY OF A CAMEL.
When Animal Found That Plan Of
Revenge Had Miscarried It
Tried TO Kill Itself.

A valuable and high-bred camel
working in an oil we'll In Africa was
severely beaten by its driver. The
man noticed that the animal was sulky
for some days after, so he kept a sharp
eye upon him. feeling sure that the
beating would not 80 unayenged. The
camel, In his turn. knew his master
was watching him, so he playing pos
sum, as 10 were. was quiet and ODE
dent. and the driver soon forgot all
about H. AT night the man slept on a
raised platform in the mill. while the
camel was stabbed in a corner. and
after several weeks had elapsed the
driver woke up suddenly one night.
and by the bright moonlight was able
to see quite clearly everything IN the
mill. He saw the camel get up. look
cautiously around. and steal softly to
a bundle Of old clothes that we're
thrown carelessly on the ground. and
looked exactly like a sleeping figure
The animal suddenly threw itself yio-
lently upon the clothes, rolled upon
them with all It's weight. and began TO
tear and bite them with its strong
teeth. Thinking itself avenged at last.
the camel was quietly returning to the
corner, when its master sat up and
spoke to him. At the sound Of his
voice. and instantly perceiving the
mistake, the animal was so mortified
at his failure. and the discovery OF his
scheme, that It made a Wild effort TO
dash its brains out against the wall.
and would have done so had II not
been for the interference Of the
drlyer.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

of the room for their support it be-
comes the part of wisdom for other
individuals to seek another bed rather
than try to crowd in with a compan-
ion of that character.
Again times have changed wonde
fully in the newspaper business. In
the last few years the expense of gath
ering the news from all over the world
for publication on the same day it oc-
ours has become so enormous that none
but the large papers can survive.
Consultations have been forced in al
most every field. Seven years ago the
T.-R. was considered a great newspap-
err when 1t published only sixteen to
twenty columns of news per issue. To-
day it averages forty columns. The
expense is so great that 1t cost the
T.-R. last year for labor and supplies
bought in Marshalltown alone $4,000
more than all the Marshalltown adver-
Using and subscription receipts brought
in. On the other hand subscription
rates have been steadily declining I'M
til the cheap dailies published primar-
vertising can be had for 81 per year.
Advertising rates have not changed
materially, all of which means that
newspaper today. which will pay the
expense. of getting the news. setting it
into type and printing the first 1000
copies, must extend its circulation into
many thousand copies in order to dis
tribute this cost among SO many sub
scribers and so many advertisers that
it is spread out so thin as not to be a
burden on anyone.
For these reasons the loud talk and
valiant promises of few individuals
who have a grievance against one
newspaper are never sufficient sub
stance on which to found another.
Sore-heads may put up few hundred
of dollars but they cannot be depended
upon for the thousands necessary in
publishing daily newspaper nova
days. 1t is matter of regret among
Marshalltown acquaintance that the
men who made this experiment should
lose anything, for they were worthy,
hard working and wall-meaning men.
Their losses will not cripple them,
however, and they are not going to cry
about it. They attempted the impos-
sible, and as soon as they saw what
they had attempted, they had sense
enough to quit. 1t was good business
Judgment to do so.
