caster, Dec. Ia, 1904, age Al years
and 20 days. Deceased was a faith
full member of the German Lutheran

the age of sixteen. She was married
May II, 1881 to Henry Leise of the

plored.
She leaves besides her husband
and daughter, three sisters and two
brothers.
Weep not that her tolls are over.
Weep not that her race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly,
When our work, like hers is done.
Til then we Weld with gladneSS,
Our mother to Him to keep.
And rejoice in the sweet assurance,
He giveth His loved one Sleep

period will bring dangerous biz
yards out of the northwest, attend
ed by rising barometer and extreme
cold wave. Let nothing divert
your attention from the possibilities
of this period, and the very great
cold to follow. This is one of the
times when severe cold will pene-
trate far into the south and east.
From the 25th cloudy, stormy, biz
zardous condition will prevail;
about the 2Sth and 29th, the general
cold WIFI relax, the barometer fall
and renewed storms of rain and
snow return to most parts. The
month promises to go out with high
barometer and clearing, cold wealth
er prevailing in most parts.
Those who have studied conditions
know that the worst sleet storms,
bl1zzards and cold waves, as a rule
come at the elimination of the
Mercury equinoxes in winter.
Hence, be prepared for at least one
such general visitation during the
Mercury period-17th to goth. Take
no hazardous risks for yourself or
your livestock. Consult your ba-
rometer and other indications, but
first make reasonable preparation
for the worst. Such forethought
and effort will not be wasted at this
time. The precipitation will be
heavy in central, western and south
ern sections, taking the form Of
rains southwark, and much snow
and sleet northward.

ADVERTISING ABUSE.
Ingenuity and Persistence in Efforts
. to Beat the Printer.

The demand for free advertising
is in extent, persistence and ingenu-
ity beyond the belief of any but
those who have had experience in
the business. A man who would
never think of going into grocery
store and requesting the proprietor
to demand a barrel of -four or into
shoe store and telling the owner
that if he has no objection he thinks
he'll help himself to a pair Of shoes
will walk confidently into newspa-
par Office and prefer his request for
dollars worth of free advertising
and feel nightly offended if refused.
The solicitor Of free advertising
is always sure that the proprietor
would be ''glad Of something to
help Gil up the paper" He is just
as glad as the groceryman is glad
of some one to help carry off his
stock without payment. Time and
again under guise of news items
matter is presented which is plain
advertising and if used at all should
be paid for as such.
The newspaper proprietor expects
to furnish certain amount of free
advertising to religious, charitable
and public enterprises. 1t he didn't
he would be looked on as a heather,
hard hearted, mercenary, lacking in
public spirit. His contribution is
accepted as matter of course, and
rarely is he accorded a word of
thanks. Sometimes he refuses to
donate as much space as the pro-
moter of some enterprise desires,
and then he is looked upon as UNI
reasonable and disobliging. The
proprietor also expects aud is will
ing to give little free advertising
to those who run paid advertise
ments in his paper.
This is a matter of business cOur-
tesy which is rarely abused. But
with the horde of solicitors for free
advertising which constant be-
siege the newspaper offices, with nc
possible claim upon his courtesies
save the hope Of getting somethi1 g
for nothing, the proprietor has no
sympathy whatever.
The duties that the newspaper
proprietor and editor owe to the
public are numerous, diverse and
exacting. It is high time that the
public should understand that these
duties do not include the sacrifice
of a considerable amount of valuable
space for the, benefit of individuals
or enterprises which give nothing
in return.

January Weather.

The indications are that storm
period reaching into January from
December, 1904, will cause unsettled
weather up to the 4th and 9Th. By
the 4th changes to warmer will be
the order in western parts, a CORES
ponding fall of the barometer will
attend the rising temperatures, and
rain and snow will visit wide ex-
tremes, reaching north and south,
as the general storm conditions adj
vance eastwardly to the Atlantic
about the 4th to 9Th. A prompt
change to rising barometer, north
westerly winds and much colder
will set in behind the storm areas
to the west and north and push the
west side of storms to the Atlantic.
From the 9th to the 18th there
will be decided change to warmer,
winds shifting to southerly and
falling barometer, will appear to
the westward about the 10th. Dur
ing the 18th, 18th and 18th rains
will visit southern and central
states, turning to snow in the north
and as storms reach sections east
of the, Mississippi river. On the
18th, winter lightning and thunder
are likely toward the south. Biz
zardous conditions and very cold
will appear with the rising baro-
meter out OF the northwest progress
lively behind these storms. Ii ba-
rometer is low In the south at this
time, severe cold will be induced
possibly to the gulf.
During the 10th, 18th and 18th,
there will be spell OF threatening,
stormy weather that will run into
the storm period following, from
the 18th to the 25th. This storm is
central from the Goth to the 25th.
In all reasonable probability this
period will bring the worst storms
and weather of the month. 1t will
come in with rising temperature,

general cloudiness and rains. The
barometer will fall phenomenally
low, generally, the rains will turn
to destructive sleet over vast re-

The Local Press.

The local paper is not regarded
with the degree of Importance to
which it is entitled. The live local
paper has a great influence in the
community in which it is published.
1t may be safely assumed that the
editor is not only honest and in
dustriOus, but he must have ability
or he could not successfully con-
duct a newspaper. Too often in
arran ging for picnics or open meet
ings the value of the local paper is
overlooked. The committee on ar
rangements many times will cheer
fully pay the regular price for fam
ing posters but neglect to buy space
in the 'colums OF the local paper.
Quite frequently the committee
will send to some large city for the
posters, then expect the editor OF
the local newspaper to donate space
in his paper for the good of the
cause" This is poor policy. The
wise committee, when the camp is
to have public meeting, will call
first on the editor of the local paper
and buy some space. If S. II $40 is
handed to the editor with request
that he gives the coming event
good send off, he can be trusted to
do the gener ous thing and it will be
known that the meeting is to be
held. Then, too, if there is to be
banquet see to it that the editor
and the EDITORS wife have tickets
and insist that they use them;
usually if the tickets are sent around
in time, they will arrange to be
present. The result, a good write
up afterwards. If you are not to
have meeting yet would like to
''stand IN" with the local paper,
have your camp card inserted. This
will only cost S. or $40 year, but
it will be money we'll expended.
We know whereof we speak. Coun-
try editors are only human and the
members of the wise camp keep in
close touch with them. Buy camp
stationery of them and pay for
some space in the columns of their
papers. The Modern Woodman.
The probabilities are that if an
editor here was handed S. or $40 in
the manner indicated he would fall
dead and then the order would be
in for an assessment. Don't try it;
it is dangerous. What, run card
In the local paper? My stars, what
is the editor of the Modern Wood
man thinking about? He has certain
ly gone daft. There are a half
dozen merchants or more in this
city who haven't expended $40 for
advertising in ten years and are
still alive; or at least they think
they are, and ask camp to spend
S. or $40 to advertise their meet
ings, etc. Well, well, wonders will
never cease as long as people have
these spells Of mild lunacy. But
the editor says I'VE know whereof
we speak" May be he does but my
optimistic friend you should buy a
automobile and take trip into the
country and have a talk with some
of the village magnates and get
some ideas of how to run a country
newspaper entirely for the good of
the town and not mercenary sheet
