Holyol1e Philips County. Colo Friday Feb. 8, 1907

with view of advancing prices, the
press of this country presents that JUS
tification at this time.
The white paper alone on which many
papers are printed, costs more than is
paid by the purchaser for the printed
edition. The cost of white paper has
been advancing for years. Printing ink
never cost more than at the present
time and wages were never higher; yet
the price of the output has been re-
tained. The newspapers of the country
in their columns seem to point out ev-
erything in the news line pertaining to
the formation of trust, in oil, sugar,
paper, coal, steel and almost very COM
modify in general use, but they entirely
overlook the fact that they could and
should point with great interest to the
fact that newspapers are supplying the
public with the news of the world un-
der greater expense of production
than at any time previous while the
comparative cost of advertising has not
been greatly increased.
The newspapers have been in the
front rank in the development of Amer
ican civilization and today they give
more to the purchaser for the invest
ment than it is possible to receive in
any other channel of expenditure. Any
thoughtful person, who will carefully
consider the increased publication cost
of newspapers and the vast amount of
information and pleasure the people de-
rive from them at old-time prices, will
agree with us that the post
age on them, as well as on letters should
be reduced. -Ex.

 RUDE TO HER.

They were on their honeymoon. He had bought a catboat, says a writer in the New York Evening Post, and had taken her ou. to saeW her how we'll he could handle it. He had put her to tend the sheet puff of wind came.
 '.Let go that sheet," he shouted, in no uncertain tones.
 There was no response.
 'Let go that sheet, quick" he re- peated.
 Still there was no movement A few minutes later, when both were clinging to the bottom of the over- turned boat, he said:
 "Why didn't you let go that sheet when I told you to, dear?'

JUST A TRIPLE MIXED.

Edwin Markham, at dinner, said of mixed metaphors, accord ing to the New Orleans Picaqune:
 When I was teaching in Los Angeles I used to read every week little country paper whose edi- tors metaphors were an unfailing joy to me.
 Once, I remember, this editor wrote of contemporary:
 Thus the black lie, issuing from his base throat, becomes a boomerang in his hand, and, hoist ing him by his own petard, leaves him marked man for life.'
 He said in an article on home life:

NOT FOR PUBLICATION.

The engagement between wealthy Baltimore belle and an impecunious clubman of that city was at one time last winter perilously near the "break- ing off" point, and all by reason of the unfortunate mistake of a florists as- sistant of whom the young man had ordered flowers for his beloved.
 It appears that the young fellow had hastily dispatched to the florists establishment two cards, one bearing an order for the roses to be sent to the young lady's address, and the other intended to be attached to the flowers.
 What was the astonishment and in- dignation of the beloved one when, on taking the roses from their boxes, she found affixed the card bearing the legend:

GRADUATED ETIQUETTE.

Prince Michael Cantacuzene, who is endeared to America through his happy marriage to Julia Dent Grant, said on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, on the way to New York:
 sI sink my title in America. An observance of titles is n republic rather ridiculous. After all, simple republican manners are the best. I have never been one to approve If Talleyrand's politeness.

lands secretary of the interior, told the following story on Josiah.
 A laborer in the department or the interior was drowned one day while bathing in the Potomac river. A congressman happened to be strolling along the river bank at the time and saw the body hauled out. Upon learning that the de- ceased was an employe of the in- terior department he rushed down and applied to have one of his con stituents put in the vacancy. Sec retary Smith assured him that the position had been filled.
 Filled be d-d,' cried the congressman; "the man hasn't been dead an hour.''
 "I know," replied Secretary Smith, but Josiah Quincy heard some one say the man was going in swimming and made application for the position by telephone'

 "Tallyerand once gave dinner par ty, and in serving the beef he grad uated his manners to guests rank in this way:
 To prince of the royal blood 1: May l have the honor of offering your royal highness a little beef?
 To duke: sMonsiegneur, permit me to offer you some beef?"
 To marquis: Marquis, may I cut you a little beef?'
 "To a viscount: sWscount have some beef
 ITO baron: Baron, some beef?'
 ITO an untitled gentleman: Some beef?'
 ITO his secretary: .Beef?'
 There was present a person even inferior to the secretary, and to him Talleyrand did not say so much as one word. He simply looked at the man, and pointed the carving-knife at the beef interrogatively.'

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

He was an impecunious, seedy, out at-the-elbows person, and the doctor, when he prescribed for him, knew better than to expect a fee.
 "For the inflamed eyes, said the
 benevolent physician, dissolve as much boracic acid as you can put on ten-cent piece in half a glass of water
 Thank you, doctor,' murmured the patient, turning away. A moment later, however, the office door was opened and the patient sidled in

On the occasion of the last foot ball match between Yale and Har- yard, which took place at New Haven, the crowd that came to wit ness the match, estimated at over 3O,OO0, so filled the streets of the Elm City that there were large groups of people everywhere.
