Greatest of All the educators.

Erman j. Rldgway, of New York,
editor of Everybody's Magazine, said
In an address at the Chautauqua IN.
Y.) Assembly:
Newspapers are one OF the best
influences in America. They do not
cause social unrest They reflect 1t,
voice 1t, spread it. and focus the ques.
ton for us, and, giving us all the
facts, help us to decide our future
course. To the immigrant and the
untaught the press must for long
time continue to be a blackboard
where the lesson is written large for
the sake OF their small ability. To
the educated and thoughtful the press
must continue to be the great reser-
voir that collects the streams OF facts
from the rain Of events and pours
them down the irrigatlng bitches to
our thirsty brains.
Editorials, signed essays, special
features, cartoons--all these Jumped
have a very small part In making the
Influence of newspaper, compared
with prompt, accurate, brilliant hand
ling Of news. Ask man who has
Just finished his paper what is In IL.
and he Will have TO stop and think.
But ask him for an opinion about the
big question at issue and he will sur
prise you with his broad information
and clear-cut opinions. The Aineri-
can who reads the newspapers knows
what's going ON in the world. The
remarkably high average intelligence
OF Americans on all conceivable sub
jects is due to the newspaper report
er. Think of him sometimes when
counting your blessings"

SOME BIG BITES.

the Crocodile.

They Show the Power of the Jaws of
the Crocodile.
The power of the jaws of the crOcO-
ollie is terrific, says Sir Samuel Baker
in his book on wild beasts.
Once, he continues, he had the metal
of a large hook the thickness of Ordina-
ry telegraph wire completely bent to-
gether, the barbed point being pressed
tightly against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap of the jaws when seizing
a live duck which he had used as a
bait the hook being fastened beneath
one wing. On one occasion he found a
fish weighing seventy pounds bitten
clean through as if divided by a knife.
This, again, was the work of the snap
Of the jaws of a crocodile.
A Frenchman, NJ. Paul Bert, once
made experiments on the strength of a
crocodile's jaws by means of a dyna
mometer. He found that a crocodile
weighing 100 pounds exerted a force OF
30S pounds in closing his jaws. The
lion has an enormous jaw power. Or

A speeimen Of IsaIian HumOr.

The following story is typical Of one
kind of Italian humor: FasOlacci was
a young idler He had been spending
money right and left, and one day
found himself unable to pay his hotel
bill. His father being very close with
his money, he appealed to his uncle in
this wise:
Dear Uncle-If you could see my shame
while I write. you would :" y me. Do you
know why? Because i have to write for
100 francs and know not how to express
my humble gratitude.
No. it is impossible to tell you; l prefer
to die
1 send you this by a messenger who
awaits an answer.
Believe me, dear uncle, to be your most
Obedient and affectionate nephew.
FASOLACCI.
p S.-Overcome with shame for what
have written, 1 have been running afteI
the messenger in order to take the letter
but l could not catch up. Heaven gram
that something may happen to stop hin
or that this letter may get lost!
Touched by this appeal, the uncle re
piled:
My Beloved Nephew-Console yoursel
and blush no longer. Providence hear
your prayer. The messenger lost you
letter.
Goodby. Your affectionate uncle,

A Touch Cure.

Faith will do wonders. A woman in
DevOnshire, England. recently said to
chemist:
''I've got a cruel, bad cough, surely
I've heerd that bronchial trOches are

The assistant pointed to small box
on the table and said:
Eyes; there they are"
"HOw much is it?" was the inquiry.
The price was paid, and the old wo-
man took her departure. At night the
assistant missed a box Of glycerin
soap (three cakes.
A couple of days afterward she re
turned to the shop and said:

Cured Hay Fever and summer Cold.

A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana,
writes: Last year I suffered for three
months with summer cold so distress
ing that it interfered with my business
I had many of the symptoms of hay
fever, and a doctors prescription did
not reach my case, and took several
medicines which seemed only to agra
vate my case. Fortunately I insisted
upon Foley's Honey and Tar in the yel-
low package, and it quickly cured me.
My wife has since used Foley's Honey
and Tar with the same success. Sold by
