SunflOWer
Philosophy

(Atchison (Kan.) Globe.)
Man forgets the favors others do him
but remembers those he has shown
others.
When a man has done wrong, one of
the greatest horrors of his life is the
friend who has a perfect memory.
1t is the young men who think a
great deal of themselves; a man never
thinks much of himself after he be-
comes thoroughly acquainted.
The man who doesn't care if he los
es an hour himself is very much put
out to find that his watch has lost half
a minute.
If you must loaf, get out of the sight
of your Industrious friends. 1t does a
man no good to loaf where he IS
known
There is a good deal of talk of for
giving and forgetting, but do men and
women ever forget or forgive a wrong
Sometimes they pretend to, but we
doubt their sincerity.

PREMATURE OBITUARIES.

One of the traditions of the office of
the New York Herald has to do with
an editor who was great uphOlder of
the infallibility Of his paper. 1t sim
ply couldn't make a mistake.
A tiustered citizen once burst into
his office and hustled up to the editor
ial desk. See here" he demanded
This obituary notice. It's all wrong"
whats wrong about it, asked the
editor in calm confidence.
Why it's about me- In not dead
IF the Herald says you're dead, -
sternly replied the editor. you're
dead. But" he added magnanimously,
If you don't like being dead we'll
print your birth notice"
His attitude was rather different
from that of another editor, who, on
being shown by the man most inter
ested that the death of the complain
ant was falsely reported, apologized
profusely and offered to make it all
right.
Well print a correction at once, "
he said
Well said the man who wasn't
dead, perhaps it would be better to
let it stand I'll show it to my friends
when they want to borrow money"

Mark Twain Tells How
1t Pays To Be Honest

New York, Feb. MARK Twain
blossomed out with new dogs tale
at the weekly banquet of the Pleiades
club at the Lafayette Brevoort. The
theme OF the humorist was How 1t
Pays to be Honest-When it Doesn't
Hurt Yourself" He said he was starry
ing with chap named Davis in Wash
ington in the latter sixties. and Davis
told Twain TO go out and rummage for
So for Scotch whiskey, While he'd stay
home and pray.
Twain said he came into hotel and
came on the prettiest dog he had ever
seen in the lobby.

county treasurer were aired, resem-
bled nothing SO much as a star cham
Der session. There was nothing about
this case that should not have been in
vestigated, so that the public could
have been fully informed as to what
took place. The charges preferred
by Mr.. Jenkinson were made public in
the newspapers. 1t would have been
no more than right that the newspa-
pcrs should have been permitted TO
have had d representative present at
the hearing at the court house. But
reporters were excluded. Now why
this secrecy: What was there that
the county central committee could
not have carried on before the repre-
sentatives of the newspapers? No
proceedings of the circuit court are
kept from the newspapers. Why,
then. should the county central COM
mittee pursue such policy of secrecy =:
1t would be well, possibly, to revert
to the old days when the meetings
of the county central committee were
public. when it had no secrets and,
consequently no need of star chamber
sessions.

THE TURKEY.

The turkey is a noble bird.
Its praise upon all tongues is heard;
A slice of dark a slice of white,
Would please a Roman sybarite,
And when it comes to us as soup.
It's flavor scarcely seems to drOOp;
Although it grows a trifle old,
If handed TO us picked and cold;
And all its virtues scarce atones
When it gets down to shining bones.

DIVORCE CURE,

Ii men would hand their honeys
Throughout the livelong year

Would come home in the evening
And by the fireside sit,
For want of paying business
Divorce court might all quit.
