Editorial Gossip

Don't be afraid to do your duty. A
man who has opinions of his ewn and
courage TO advocate them, will be sure
to have opposition in this world, be-
cause he runs across or contrary to
other peoples opinions, but just keep
straight ahead if your cause is right
and your conscience clear. Don't both
er yourself about what people say; life
10 too short short for that. Some will
abuse yOu through envy, others through
want Of sense, others still for want of
principle and s0n1e beRuse they honest
~ differ from you; but if you keep right
on Opanly, manfully, intelligently, and
with proper dignity, charity, honesty
purpose and self-respect, those who
honestly differ from you will respect
you and your opinions. Thomas Trib-

WOman's Opinion Of the Woman
N Business.

Business success for the woman does
not mean domestic or individual happi-
ness, and, on the whole, business life
makes for restlsssness, selfishness and
discomfort. You cann0t measure the
influence Of business on the woman by
figures or statistics. You cannot count
wrecked lives among women wage
earn0rs as you can tally off divorce
cases On court calendars, and trace
then to certain causes, such as incom-
patibiity, desertion, cruelty, etc. You
cannot say that q woman in business is
q failure according to the salary she
draws. You cannot expect the trim,
self-contained girl at your elbow to adj
nit that her perfectly appointed little
apartment, her perfectly trained maid,
her perfectly ordered life of dinners,
clubs, theatres and opera parties spells
failure. She says she is success. In
her heart she knows that when the last
guest haa gone, and the trim little maid
has been dismissed, the exquisitely ap-
pointed little apartment becomes
whited sepulcher in which the starved
soul of the woman sits alone weeping.

Home Companion.

Follow I the Plan. Of the Farner.

A merchant who advertises when
business is brisk and discontinues his eff
forts to get business during the sO-called
dull season Is like a farmer who would
literally feFtilize his fields when his
crops were best, and when the soil fail
ed to produce satisfactory returns
would eliminate all efforts to stimulate
his fields to renewed activity and pro-
ductiveness. The successful farmer
never does business that way. When
the soil, from it's own natural resources,
is bringing forth ample crops, the slim
ulating effect of fertilizers is not con-
sidered so necessary. It is only when
the crop returns indicate a wanting of
the soils productive elements that the
watchful agriculturalist applies artificial
aids to keep the crop returns up to a
standard which will show him a fair
profit on his investment and satisfac-
tory recompense for his labor. A mer-
chant is usually considered much more
of a business man than is the average
farmer. His opportunities for business
training have been much greater than
those Of the man who follows rural pur-
suits. The innumerable details of a
merchants business require more exact
accounting and a closer attention to
petty incidentals, hence man in COM
mercial life is rated as shrewder man
of affairs than the man who tiIls the
soil. notwithstanding all this the mer-
chant who advertises his business only
when it is booming shows less CONNER
cial acumen than the average farmer,
for the latter doubles his efforts to pro-
duce results when he sees that the out
put is falling off. The merchant who
stops advertising as soon as the rush
season is over should learn a lesson
from the farmer. Stimulate business
during the dull days by literally adver-
tising clearing sales. 1t is better to
cut off part of the profit and turn the
goods into cash than to carry them over
a season, but it is useless to cut prices
unless the purchasing public learns
where the goods can be advantageously
purchased. Great Bend Democrat.

After a newspaper has yelled itself
hoarse in an effort to persuade people
to patronize home merchants, says the
Atica Independent, and accidentally
stumbles on the fact that some of these
selfsame business men he is endeavor-
ing to protect are sending away for
their job-printing or using rubber
stamp for their stationery, it rather
shakes his faith in mankind and makes
reciprocity look like lead dime with

Stationery Gives satisfaction.

The stationery printed in this office
is giving the hest of satisfaction. Last
week we printed 900 statements for
man and by their aid he collected
small fortune. Two months ago man
bought of US some note paper and en-
velopes to use when writing to his sweet
heart, and now he is married. Another
young man stole some of our paper to
make cigaretts-he is dead. A young
lady got some of our paper to curl her
hair on and now she has a beau. We
have only few packages of this kind
in stock. By using our stationery a
person can collect old accounts, tell for
tunes, make rain, change the color of
the hair, extract teeth without pain, if
you are married keep tab on your hus-
band and find out if he is really detained
from home on business, if you are I'M
married, find the name of your future

Gypsies.
From the New York Mail.


1t is a good time Of the year to be
on the trail. and in recognition of the
fact the gypsies are back in these parts.
There are gypsies in the Ramapo hills,
gypsies in the Bronx. gypsies on the
north shore of Long Island, gypsies in
New Jersey near the Kills, gypsies on
Staten Island. Wherever there are rum
ming water and good camping site near
rural highway, there you may hope
10 tird a caravan.
There are gypsy queens at Coney
Island who will read the future for
you. ard in score or more of restau-
rants of the city there are gypsy must
clans. All classes of the Romany tribe
-wayfarers. soothsayers. artists-"the
brethren of the dark blood and the
tents" as Leland called them, are within
hail. repeating in their own way the
fable of the country mouse and the town
mouse.
A harmless folk and a simple are the
gypsies. despite their coZening and light
fingered arts. They little affect the life
of the city and are little affected by it,
Yet they are worth while on the roads
because they bring the life of the wild
right up to the gates OF the city; and
worth while in the restaurants. where
their formlsss but haunting music voices
an unrest as native to the pavement as to
the long brown road.
