We have had the privilege of looking
over a number Of papers which A. f.
Harris brought with him from China,
and we are about convinced that China
Is the place for publishing newspaper.
Subscription rates on some of the
cheaper daily papers are $50 per year,
but the rate on most of them is SO per
month. A twelve-page paper has nine
pages Of ads and three pages of reading
matter, some oft tripple-leaded BREWER.
40 wonder china IL. forgins to the
front The people there certainly
know how to support their newspapers.
As compared with the daily papers of
the United States they are not in the
same class at all. The news service is
bum and the ads are bungle some
mass of out-of-date type. The weather
service Is about the only commendable
feature. Instead of giving the fore
cagts n day ahead they give hindcasts
q day behind; that is the morning
papers give the conditions of the
weather from 6 a. m. yesterday 10 6 n.
III. the morning they are published.
This system has tendency to lessen
mistakes.

Regarding School Election.

Cortez, Colo, April 10Th, 1908.
To the School Directors of Montezuma
county.
Following is copy of G letter from
the State Superintendent of Public
INSTRUCTION which is self-explanatory.
~ beg to advise you that all school
DISTRICTS of the second and third classes
organized since April 4th, 1887, should
elect at the annual school election this
year, one president for three years,
Notwithstanding the fact that q presi-
dent may have been elected last year
or the year before for three years, since
by operation of law his term would
expire this year, and this proves true
in regard to secretaries and treasurers.
II would further advise that you
send notice to the school boards of
directors stating that at the annual
school election of 1903 a president
should be elected for three years,
secretary for two years, and treasurer
for one year. This would correct any
irregularity in the election of the
school boards in your county"
If this letter needs Interpretation
address the State Superintendent,
Katherine l.. Craig, direct at Denver.
Yours truly,
]. w. DENNRY,
County Supt. of Schools.

CLEVER SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Old Salesman's Advice Left Firm
Worse Off Than Before.

Henry Clews is telling a new story
which he says he got straight from
the Canal street district, says the
New York Times. A young jobbing
firm, the tale tells, overbought for
the fall trade. Their heaviest mistake
had been in the line of overcoats,
which it looked they would have to
carry over a season. Efforts to get
cash for the stock were fruitless, ex-
cept at ruinous rates. At last the firm
went to an old-timer in the trade for
advice. We'll" said the man of ex-
%perience, you've got a pretty good
list of customers. Just divide the
coats up into lots of thirteen each.
Send a batch apiece to some of your
sharpest customers, but make out
the bills for twelve. They'll be so
tickled to get one coat for nothing
that they'll take EN- all" The scheme
had been tried before the men met
again. The old-timer waited for his
praise. We'll. didn't they keep the
coats?" he asked. Yes" returned
the jobber, sadly. "One each. The one
that wasn't billed"

Will Clean Copper Thoroughly.

Some copper articles are difficult
to clean with powders on account of
their ornamental surface. This diff.
ficulty is obviated, say the Scientific
American, by means of acids, which
restore the luster. Should the object
be greasy, it should be cleaned by dip,
ping in a hot solution of soda, then
rinsed in clear water. A bath for i'm
parting brilliancy is prepared as fol
lows: Nitric acid, two parts; sal am
moniac, one part; or, %sulphuric acid
II part; nitric acid, n part; water,
one part. The sal ammoniac must
be dissolved in water to saturation.
The articles should not be immersed
more than two or three seconds. They
are rinsed first in cold water, then
in a soapy hot water and dried IN
warm sawdust.

REBUKED THE GREAT WRITER.
American Was Not Awed by Grouchy
Poet Laureate.

A writer in Harper's Weekly brings
to light an interesting anecdote of
Tennyson which well illustrates the
singular habits of the great laureate
in his intercourse with his friends.
The poet was not only brusque and
rough, but he was domineering and
eXacting, and most other men were
afraid of him. But an American
schoolmaster who for many years
maintained a great intimacy with him
had no fear in his heart, and sat and
smoked on an equality with the sover-
eign singer by Farringford Preside.
"One evening"" says the writer,
when the two were thus together,
Tennyson said that he would depart
from his custom and narrate a per-
sonal experience; but he had suffered
a good deal from repetitions of his
tales by those to whom he had told
them, and he would be obliged to ask
his friend never to repeat what he
vas about to hear. The American
smoked on for a few seconds while
Tennyson waited for the promise, and
then he said: My lord, in my coun-
try a gentleman would never make
that request of another gentleman
'H-h-m!' said the poet, and looked
out Of eyes that wondered If the
quiet smoker opposite knew how much
he'd said. Then he told the story"
