Ledger, the only semi-weekly of
the three old papers, and for the
same price, $3.50 a year. Mer-
chants who have been advertis-
ing in the three papers will now,
through medium of the new
paper, reach the combined cir
culation of those old papers at
very little, if any, more than
one-third the cost of patronizing
the three papers.
1t is the intention of the man.
ager1ent of The News to make
it a siX-column, eight-page pa
per, but for the present it will
be issued in 5-column size, owing
to the fact that the old Enter
prise press, upon which The
News will be printed until other
arrangements can be made, has
a capacity only of five columns.
The office occupied by the En-
terprise will also be used by
The News until larger and bet
ter quarters can be secured.
A word as to the policy of the
new paper. The News feels that
its especial mission is to labor
for the upbuilding of the town
of Lanca ster and of the county
of Lancaster. A community in
which there are nearly a dozen
churches, white and colored,
splendid schools, two prosperous
banks, a million-dollar cotton
mill, two railroads, and dozens
of f1ourishing mercantile estab-
lishments, and a county with a
citizenship unsurpassed by any
in the state for intelligence,
sobriety, honesty, industry and
patriotism eminently deserve a
newspaper second to none in the
Piedmont region. And it shall
be our aim, therefore, to make
The News a credit to both the
town and county as well as to
the profession Of journalism.
Every movement having for
its object the advancement of
the welfare of our people, wheth-
er spiritual, educational, ma
terial, Industrial or otherwise
will find a strong supporter and
advocate in The Lancaster
News. 1t is going to get close
to the peopleand stand by them
in all that makes for their hap
piness and prosperity. 1t is
going to give to them in attrac-
tive form the news of the day,
both local and general.

DOGS ARE ALWAYS HONEST
Ample Testimony to the
Fact

There is one peculiar thing about
dogs" remarked a well known local
fancier and huntSman, says the Hous-
ton Post, land that is you never saw
one pant and wag his tail at the same
time A dog is not capable Of double
emotion. He can't growl and wag his
tail at the same time, for 1t Is impos-
sible for him to be mad At one end and
glad at the other.
IF dog Is glad to see his master he
will bark and wag his tail, Ii he wants
10 get into the house he will paw at the
door, whine and wag his tail, but they
are all symptoms of one and the same
emotion. But il his master opens the
door he will cease to show anxiety i'm
mediately by whining. and will show
pleasure only by the wagging OF his
tail,
In order to get mans temper one
must watch. his eyes, but for a dogs
you have to watch his tail. The dog is
interchangeable of deceit, and hence
he is nothing of a politician. He da-
ceives no one, not even his master. Ii
he is overjoyed, every emotion is indi-
cative of that fact. and. his whole make
up gives ample testimony to It, Ii he
is displeased or angered,. 1t Is the Same
way"

PLANT OF. COLLEGE GIRL.

You may be thankful" said the VAS

to college. My family has made my
life miserable ever since was, gradn-
ated.
No matter what l do or how clever

course Even when L have an article
or poem published they all say: oh,
yes, of course, Frances is very bright;
but then she has college education
"If | don't do anything worth while
they all want to know what good my
college education has been to me.
Now, whatever you do even though
it may be an ordinary achievement,
they all say: Just look at Miss So-and-
so; her stories are in every magazine
and yet she never had any special ad-
vantages; she never went to college.

DRAG BONES FROM THE SEA
Remnants of Antediluvian Animals
Caught by Fishermen Of
Dogger Bank.

In the days when Great Britain and
Ireland were one geologically, not po-
liticaliy-and were part of the CONT
nent OF Europe; when the Irish sea,
the Bristol channel, the English chan
mel, and even the North sea were mere
ly fertile valleys, various prehistoric
beasts had a vast field on which to
roam.
Edward Martin, in an article in
knowledge, describes how these lands
became submerged, and how, when the
great North sea plain sank beneath the
waves, the Dogger island, as ii may
be called, was the last to go.
Here the wild animals would uatur-
ally congregate as they were driven
little by little from their old haunts by
the eyer-adyancing sea, and here they
were all finally entombed when their
last resting place disappeared
And now it is common thing for
she trawlers on the famous fishing
ground, which is all that remains of
the island, to catch among the fish a
bone or two which originally formed
part of an antediluyian animal.
Indeed, the skeletons are said to be
so numerous on the Dogger bank that
scarcely a trawl is brought up which
does not contain a bone or a tooth OF
one of the ancient inhabitants of the
submerged island.

Bridling the Tongue.

Talleyrands remark that speech was
given to man to conceal his thoughts"
If we are to live in peace and harmony
with our fellows we must conceal many
thoughts, unless we are endowed with
mind in which no unkind or I'M
pleasant thought can find Judgment.
We may think that Neighbor X is more
agreeable than Neighbor Y, and that
Mrs. AS daughter is more beautiful
than Mrs. BIS, and that Dr. Pill is a
better physician than DR.. Pellet: but

HER MANNER MAY CHANCE
When q Woman Is Displeased Shs u
Not Forgetful of Society
Manners.

She was plainly rritated about some
thing and sat pouting as she ate in a
downtown restaurant, and not saying
word to the man with herr evidently
her husband, relates the Chicago Trib-
une. Before the luncheon was finished
another man came in. The husband
knew him and called him over to their
table and introduced him. The woman
was then all smirks and smiles Her
anger disappeared completely. and she
even included her husband in her sum
ny views of life.
That's society manners all right, "
said a girl at another table, "but did
you ever see anything so foolish. It's
a good guess she wants hat or money
to buy something of the sort from her
husband and is going to pout till she
gets it, but what a contrast her manner
is to the man she's never seen before
and isn't likely to see againi 1t must
look as absurd to the husband as il
does to us. If ever | have a husband
I'll not set about it that way when l
want to get something out of him.
