Getting Acquainted.

Success in business is largely a
matter of getting acquainted
learning the needs and tastes of
your customers and making them
familiar with yourself, your estaD-
lishment, your methods and your
wares. You cannot get acquainted
with the purchasing public in a
day, or even a month; 1t takes
time to make yourself "solid," but
it is worth while. By cultiyating
the acquaintance of possible buyers
day after day through the adver-
Using columns of the newspapers
you establish basis of confidence
that yields constantly increasing
returns, and that will in the long
run be worth more as an asset than
money in the bank Philadelphia
Record.
If business men would be going
all the while and adding largely TO
their trade they must talk through
the local papers. Should they do
this wisely there would be no time
for talking city or town dead.

Mr.. Wyatt says;
with unspeakable pride we doff
our hat and make our best bow TO
the five hundred and odd petition
ers of old Fleming, and enter the
fight for the office of Representa-
tive-an office that bears with it no
dividend on the investment, if the
holder carries with him the title to
which his people elevate him.
We promise to conduct the cam
paign on a high plane.
We have no personal aspirations,
nor have we any political debts to
pay, but enter the race at the be-
hests of over FIVE hundred petition
ers, numerous letters from over the
county and personal assurance of
loyal support"

Who is Your PilOi2

One of thoughtful mind could
not set forth upon voyage across
the ocean without experiencing
some solemn thoughts concerning
the seriousness of the undertaking.
All may be gaiety as the great ship
moves away from the harbor.
There may have been joyful and
merry songs of good-by; neverthe-
less, the voyager knows that the
issues of the journey are at best
uncertain. He has trusted him
self to an element which may bring
him to the fulfillment of his desire,
or may furnish him with his final
resting place. Truly, it would be
a vain person who could be alto
gether oblivious to these things.
With the spiritual man, all of this
is true, and more, too. Every man
in a large measure has the ordering
>pf his own life. While he does not
know the scenes into which the
passing days or weeks may lead
him, it is his to choose his pilot,
his to choose whether his course
shall BE towara the City Of Peace,
or away from it. The question
comes to us with much seriousness
at this hour: "Who is to be our
pilotY Is it to be your desire for
wealth, for pleasure, for honorS
God forbid that any of these
should be your governing motive.
God forbid that there should be
any desire in your heart but that
of doing the bidding of Him who
sends you forth.

There was a time when tallow
candles cost ten cents each and
gave less than one-twentieth of the
illumination for dollar that gas
gives.
There was a time, and very
recently, when gas, per unit of il
Elimination (candle power), cost
the public double what 1t now

There was a time (still more
recently when there was no cleo

and pay six to ten cents for what

NUMBER 81
Queer Ruling in Kentucky.

A Kentucky court has in its wis
dom seen fit to convict Richard W.
Knott, editor of the Louisville Eve
ming Post, of criminal libel and to
fine him $500. The arguments of
the prosecution, which the court
sustained, show a remarkable con-
ceptiOn of newspapers rights and
duties.
Mr.. Knott was accused of de-
flaming one, Sharkey, keeper of an
all-night saloon, by saying that his
place was a resort of gamblers and
crooks, and was protected by the
police who knew its character.
On the stand Sharkey admitted
that he allowed gambling in the sa-
loon. The prosecution attempted
no defense of Sharkey, but gravely
cOntended that newspaper must
not publish any facts it may have
concerning an evil resort. 1t must
submit them to the authorities.
To this Mr.. Knott replied that
the police were in collision with
Sharkey, and an appeal to them
would have been a mere farce.
Then, said the sapient prosecutor,
the remedy lies in an appeal to the
electorate to choose honest public
servants. How much an appeal
can be made effective without a re-
cital of facts showing official cor
ruption, the learned gentleman did
not say.
If the finding of the court be
good law every dive-keeper and
gambler and every grating office
holder in Kentucky ought to re-
joice. But every fearless honest
editor In the State will regard with
wrath and establishment a decision
that smacks more of Turkish than
of American ideas.-The Fourth
Estate. IN. "

Serious.

The observing editor of the Lam
caster Record remarks: 1t is stat
ed that 90 per cent of the telephone
girls marry every year. AS mat
ter of course. Did you ever hear
of a girl qualifying herself to make
living that some beast of a man
didn't want to marry her? With
all due respect to the male contin-
gent of the human race, we must
say that there are more men look
ing for wives who can support them
than there are women on the look
out for husbands"
