COUNTRY EDITORS GRAFT
How to Make Good Money Advertis-
ing Tax Sales.

The editor of the country paper
has been looked upon by many'as a
sort Of bulwark Of journalistic NOR
atty. But here come Appleton s
Magazine for September with an
amazing story Of petty graft com
bined with opposition to the REDEEM
ption of wilderness; and 1t has Hour
ished for years among the rural edl-
tors of Michigan:
"A Detroit printer inadvertently
outlined the situation clearly enough
n wear or two ago. For years he had
been laborously bending over his
ease setting up heads in the com
posing room Of an afternoon news
paper. One day he told a fellow
workman that he was going to throw

paper in a hamlet fifty miles south
Of Mackinaw'
ellis friend gasped.
cup thereP he exclaimed, what
do you expect 20 find to print IN such
a Godforsaken country-there's no
news.
"'Tax sales said the printer,
with a grin.
''In the %laconic answer of the
printer to the inquiry Of his friend
lies the bulk Of the reason for the
states indifference toward ITS waste
lands. The state law requires that
whenever the state tax on any parcel
Of land shall become delinquent, the
land shall be advertised for sale IN
a newspaper printed in the county IN
which the land is located. For III
stance each land description thus
printed-whether the land be a build
ing lot 25xl0O feet, or a lO,oOO acre
tract-the state pays the published
of the newspaper in which the adver-
tisement appears either 30 or 40
cents, according to the newspapers
advertising rate.
"Therein lie the possibilities of an
'endless chain movement against
the state treasury for the benefit of
the country newspaper publishers
and the politicians who want to pay
political debts with elerkships-for
many clerks are required to keep tab
on 5000, 900 acres of land. As the
advertisement of a small tract brings
as much to the newspaper publisher
as the advertisement of a large one,
it is obvious that a lO,O0O-acre tract
cut into acre lots would bring IN
10000 times as much revenue to the
newspaper publisher in whose terri
tory it happened to be situated as
would the one 10,0O0-acre tract.

Proved Her Proposition.

Timothy Woodruff tells of fam
lily in Duchess county who recently
took into their employ rosy-cheeked
Irish maid of all work, whose blum
ders afford aumement to compensate
for any trouble she may entail.
One day the owner of the place
stated in the girls hearing that he
intended to have a woodhouse built
on piece of ground which at that
time inclosed a well.
"Shure, sor," said the inquiring
Margaret, will you be movin' the
well to more convenient spot whin
the woodhouse is builded?"
AS a smile crossed the face Of her
employer, Margaret at once perceived
she had made a mistake.
It's fool am, shure," she added,
hastily, bound to retrieve herself. "Of
coorse, whin the well was moved ivry
drop of wather would run out of it,"

What Father Does.

Mothers may talk, work, struggle to
make their sons models by which to
shape new heaven and new earth.
But the boys world is in the man who
is his father and the boy believes that,
whatever may be right on Sundays or
at prayer time, the things that are
really good, that really count in life
are what father does. Moreover, 1t is
what father does which defines the
means with which the boy shall work,
the sphere wherein his efforts shall be
shaped. In word, what father does
is the beginning as 1t is the end of the
boys achievements.-Harp Bazaar.

ANDREW JOHNSON,
Clerk of said Township
Watch Records.

"That mans watch holds the record
for this town." the country jeweler
said. 1T has run for 20 years without
stopping. Aside from little regulat-
ing, oiling and cleaning, 1t has never
needed repair.
II know lots Of men who try to es-
tablish records Tor their watches. I
know five men in this little town whose
watches have run day and night for
ten years. Give good watch to a
man, and he takes pride In 1t. He
never forgets to wind 1t. Soon he is
trying to make record for it.
THE record for continuous running
is held, l believe, by Swiss watch in
Geneva that has run for 2S years."

"A newspaper, published in England,
one day carried in it's columns SER

to Australia, and eventually was part
of bundle that was thrown under the
counter of a store to wrap up packages
with. In course of time 1t was reached
and inclosed some articles that were
sent to the house of a most ungodly
man. He unwrapped the goods, and

Matt Butovac, a miner employed
in the Red Jacket shaft OF the Calu-

A burglar alarm has been in
stalled in the Houghton postoffice.
1t is connected with the village fire
hall, as are the alarms in banks
and business houses.
One of the most interesting ex-
hibits at the Copper Country Fair
held in Houghton last week was a
number of fine specimens of peanut
plants which were grown in the up
per peninsula. They were the pro-
duct of Lama Mitchell, of Lake
Linden, and in three weeks more
the peanuts would have been in ma
turity.
Shortly before noon Wednesday
the body of G. S. Johnson, of De-
troit, who went to Houghton about
two weeks ago to assume the district
managership for the Michigan Tele-
phone Co., was found dead in his
room in the Douglass House by an
attendant. A coroner and other
officials were notified and an exami-
nation of the body held which
proved that Johnson had committed
suicide by taking carbolic acid.
