Her Sick Husband.

A man who had acquired the impress
ion that he was afflicted with several seri-
Gus diseases, was in the habit of dosing
himself with patent medicines and lying
in bed while his wife supported him and
the rest of the family by taking in wash
ing. Finally physician, who was onto
the situation, remarked to the wife:
MADAM, if you will announce to that
husband of yours that you have conclud-
ed to take a vacation from the tub, and
that he will have to either hustle for liv-
ing or starve, you will see his health i'm
prove faster than any mans you ever saw" )"
There are plenty of people who imagine
they are sick, when, as matter of fact, it
is selishness and laziness that ails them.

The Newspaper.

There seems to be feeling among q
certain class 81 business men that news
paper has no right TO make money. Why
not? It is the most exacting business In
the world, the most trying in every way.
It means long hours and the greatest care
in its conduct. The newspaper has ths
entire public to dealwith. It is criticised
on every hand. Ithas to deal with all
cranks in a community, and to do this
successfully requires judgment and pa.
thence. It has power, and that power, to
the credit of journalism is nearly always
welded for the public good. No ques-
tion of vital concern to the people fails
to find strong support from the paper,
and this too without remuneration. The
publisher spends his money to further
these projects and the community never
gives thought to the matter of cost to
him. It is not paid out of the public
pocket. The newspaper wants every
concern to prosper. Why should not
this good will be mutual? To make
profit newspaper must have living
rates for both paper and advertising
space.
