spirit of little Graydon Bradley Stevens
went to dwell with kindred spirits in
the Heavenly Home. Hecame to bright

John c., and Eva M. Stevens, June 25,
1908. A treasure he was OF sunshine
and intense activity the short while he
stayed. Many friends lovingly sympa-
thize with the stricken hearts OF these
sorro wing parents. A short sickness OF
pneumonia coupled with typhoid fever
proved too much for even his strong,
healthy body, and all that could be
brought to aid it. So now he is with
the angels. ,.

People think it easy to "run"a
newspaper. One weeks experience
would change the opinion of most
people on this subject. Did you
ever count the words in a column
of ordinary newspaper print? Well
there is about a thousand words in
a column. Suppose you sit down
and write a thousand words on some
subject, and then another and an
other, until you have written eight
or ten thousand. Try it, and see
if it is easy. Keep that up for a
month, a year, and see if it is easy.
Then chase a single local item all
over town, and after you have got
ten the facts Alright, condense them
in a few lines-an hours work can
be read in a few seconds. Do this
for a dozen items that seem insig-
nifcant after they are printed, but
which you know are important,
then have the items criticised and
inaccuracies pointed out when it is
too late to correct them. Oh, yes,
it's easy to run a newspaper.--Ex.

The county papers in North Da-
kota are authority for the report
that a new graft is being worked on
the farmers of this state. An agent
comes to the farmers home and
offers to sell a photograph and 20
records for the small sum of 81.
The purchaser signs an order to
this effect and he soon finds out
that his local bank holds his note
for 81, and also for 20 records at SO
each. The agent is said to be a
smooth party and it will be we'll to
scrutinize any orders that you may
place for monographs or anything
for that matter, that you purchase
from a travelling agent.-Exchange.
