Newspapers Furnish the Proper Ad-
yerliSlng Medium.

AT the risk of being charged with
advocating measure Of direct benefit
10 the press, we nevertheless believe
the time has come when the newspa-
per should be the proper medium for
giving public notices of sheriff's sales,
and the foreclosure Of mortgages.
The posting of notices in a few places
in town does not begin 10 notify the
public OF these matters AS an item IN
the home paper would do. The posted
notice will be observed by few who
happen TO pass the bulletin board: but
the newspaper notice viii be carried
right into the home Of practically
every family in the town; and as the
intent Of the notice is and shonld be to
let everybody know about the matter,
il can be readily seen that the latter
method is of the greater value and SER
vice.
A bill to establish the newspaper as
the public notice medium" will no
doubt be introduced in the legislature
this term, aud we believe il deserves n
place on our statutes. Londonderry
Sitter.

RATE BILL HURTS TRAINMEN.
They Will Have to Pay $4,000 Year
In Fares, Says Stone.

Grand Chief w. s. Stone, OF the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
referring to the various effects of the
railroad rate bill, said:
Under the provisions Of the law,
officers Of railroad labor organizations
are deprived of free transportation
which they have heretofore enjoyed.
There are five railroad labor organiza.
tions, namely. the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen, the Rail.

Conductors, and the Order of Rail.

"A conservative estimate of the
amount Of fare which our officers will
have to pay after January 1, 1907,
when the law goes into operation, is
$4,000 for each organization, making
a total Of $4,000 a year which the
railroads will get from railroad labor
organizations when their officers are

me so much trouble, began to eat
Grape-Nuts with little cream and

Suffered for "Whjte Lie"

Is white lie ever justified? That
at least some people believe It has
no excuse is proved by the following
tale: An ancient rabbi came to city
where all the people were truthful,
married one of the inhabitants, had
two children and prospered. One day
a neighbor called when the rabbits
wife was washing her head, and the
rabbi, going to the door. was seized
by false modesty and said that she
had gone out. Thereupon both of his
children died, and, as no one died in
that city before reaching old age, the
neighbors made inquiries, the rabbi
confessed what he had done, and was
ordered to leave the city Immediately
