It seems singular that many per-
sons entertain tbs idea that ne rs
papers are printed entirely for phi
lanturopic motives and that their
columns should be devoted 20 their
e. cial beLefit.
aeie is a class who think that
advertising is inserted more to fiji
p spar and they consider that the
publisher OF local paper should pa
grateful for the church notices they
contribute.

They er yer q newspaper Office and

grace as thought they were tender

The up-to-date local paper en-
ploys q staff of men to collect news
which will be of interest to ell clas-
ses. These men are hustlers, know
their business thoroughly, and pre-
sent the news wasconcise and con-
densed form possible.
Instead Of the publisher being de-
pendent on personal or communica-
ted matter to I'LL his columns, he is
frequently at his wits end as to how
he shall contrive TO find space for
legitimate local news. He is oblig-
ed 70 Gull material furnished by his
news-gatherers and present 10 the
public what will be for the greatest
interest OF all.
But it is not the news which sup
ports the newspaper, and the &C
tual returns from sales are but
poor remuneration for the time and
patience devoted to il. Therefore,
the revenue received which sustains
the plant is derived through its ad-
vertising patronage.
The publisher sells the space in
his paper just as a merchant would
dispose of his wares, and reading
notices are received at higher rate
than displayed advertising, there
being no bargain days in a news
paper Office.
We know of no profession where
there is so much liberality shown
as in the newspaper business, and
so little appreciated by those who
receive gratutious favors through

Passing Of the Turkey.
Your follows rho insist on eating
turkey will have 70 take steps 70
procure some kind Of meat befors
many more moons. 4" said Wasting
ton market dealer 10 one of his Gus
.orner=, who said he never got enogh
tn. key meat. ''If the deman5 Of the
last few years keeps on increasing,
there won't be enough turkeys in
this country in twenty Eve years TO
count.
You have heard that old story
about the vanishing buffaioT Well,
sir, the next story will he about the
vanishing gobbler and his mate.
Its all on account Of too much
civilization. The progenitor Of the
turkeys you have been eating all
your life was the wild turkey.
When the Pilgrims hit the Massa-
chusetts pike the turkeys were as
untamed as the Indian.
They had their wings and as the
palefaces began to spread out tur-
keys took to their wings and travel
ed West. They know how to live.
Theyididn't have to be penned up
and pampered as they now are In
Rhode Island.
THE turkeys tastes best when it
raises itself on the range. You 90
not need any statistics toprove that
the ranges in this country are de-
creasing. The country is filing up
with people. Civilization is the
cause OF that.
Turkeys raising is improbable
on small farms. Whenever a small
farm comes into existence the tiller
of the soil ascertains that there is
more money in other things besides
turkeys. A turkey requires as
much range as a Texas steer.
And that is why we get more
turkeys now from Texas than we do
from New England and the middle
states of the West. There is plenty
OF range in Texas for the bird, and
that is why Texas turkey is better
in every way than the turkey that is
raised in the East. ltwont be many
years before the President of the
United States viii. get his Christmas
bird from the state OF Joe Bailey.
You people who think nothing
but tupkey will do you for Thanks.

Of the prosperity grabbers of New
York have already given the turkey

pheasants.
at tell you as an old tradesmar
that the turkey is doomed. don't
know what will take its place, bu: il
IS vanishing.
Let me tell you another thing
that you may not have noticed. The
turkey OF today Is not as toothsome
rs it was. 1t is dege1eratipg.
Just hunt up some old granddad'
dy who has tasted wild turkey and
he will tell you that there is no com
parison between the strutter of the
forest and the pampered bird OF the
ben. The wild bird. had a Rauiey

lection. So it will be in the United
States within the next ten years.

Col. A. q. Chandler Toastmaster.

The New York Sun gives the following
account OF dinner given at the Hotel
Astor last Thursday evening by the Mag
netie club, whose guest of honor was
Thomas A. Edison;-
mo amount OF persuasion could induce
Mr.. Edison to make speech, but he en-
ioyed himself hugely.
ssThe Magnetic club is made up of the
officers and employees OF the telegraph,
telephone. electric light and electric man
ufacturing companies OF the city. MI
Edison's presence nearly swamped the
dinner. Covers we're laid originally Tor
200. but when people found that the
Wizard was to be there everybody wanted
to have a place at table. Considerably
more than 800 were present.
"Col. A. b. Chandler, formerly president

master. His speech was punctuated curl

The Library and the School.

The advantages afforded by the Kimball
Public library TO the general literary life
OF our town is doubtless appreciated, but
its influence upon our young people and
the great work it is doing in stimulating
them in their search for knowledge and in
cultivatiug their taste for literature can
hardly be over estimated.
From the teachers view point its value
is high. The Librarian tells us that pupils
from all grades, as well as from the high
school, are constantly referring to the
books in connection with their school
work and the teachers know that the dull
est subject can often be made to TEEN with
life and interest il the pupils have preyi-
ously been directed TO seek for grains of
Information from the storehouse across
the way.
This Is considered a delightful task by
the pupils and. by the way, it has been
discovered that often knotty problem in
discipline may be solved To the satisfac-
ton of ali concerned by this simple device.
Recently, the pupils in one grade were
each asked to pass in list OF ten favorite
books. These lists were in several cases
pleasant surprises. Suffice it to say, how
ever, that every book of the two hundred
given would without doubt be approved
by the most careful parent, and many of
them were of prime educational value.
Moreover, In an informal talk almost
every pupil proved intelligently CONVEX
SAINT with these books and their authors.
Our librarian has done much toward
bringing about this happy state OF affairs.
A spirit Of welcome meets each and all al
the very entrance. Everyone has expert
enced the charm OF her ready sympathy
and helpfulness, and with the young peo-
pie this surely is most fortunate, and goes
far toward making the reading room the
delightful rendezvous 1t has become.
This, then, is what the library is doing
for the schools, and parents and teachers
cannot be too grateful for this means Of
supplementing ard enlarging their own
efforts toward right living and high
thinking among our young people.

TERRY HOPES TO FIGHT

There is n good chance that Terry Nc
Govern and Battling Nelson will yet meet
In six-round bout in Philadelphia. The
date. however, will not be the one origi-
nally selected. Jan. 26, but probably some
time in February.
McGovern and his manager, Joe Hum
phries. arrived yesterday and will remain
here during the week Humphries prompt
ly showed that the McGovern party was
anxious TO settle all details OF the match
by producing the money necessary to
bind the articles OF agreement.
Humphries posted $1,000 forfeit money
with I. @. Murphy of Hotel Scott. $1,000
10 guarantee Terry's appearance. and $1,000
To guarantee that he would weigh in at
1873 pounds at o'clock on the evening OF
the bout
Murphy at once wired Billy Nolan. the
manager OF Nelson, at Albany. OF Hum
phries action. and efforts will at once be
made 10 have the rival managers sign
new articles OF agreement.
Humphries received letter from Nolan,
In which the latter explains why he took
down the $1,000 posted as a forfeit last
Thursday with Mr.. Murphy. Nolan 9
reason was that IL was necessary for
him to at once make arrangements for
booking Nelson. and upon being notified
that McGovern's money was not up he
signed Battling for a longer period in
vaudeville. Nolan says In his letter that
he Is sorry the match between Nelson and
McSlovern is off "for the present" The
latter clause is taken TO mean that he is
still willing to match his man TO meet
Mc(.OVern here.
