Candidate and Law.

The late Albert Pell, conservative
member of parliament, who devoted
his life to the betterment of agricul-
ture, the prevention Of cattle disease
and the administration Of the poor
law, was man of ready wit.
It is stated in a recently published
volume of "reminiscences Of Mr.. Pell
that during an election he was asked
if he was not the member who had
made the law which commanded poor
men to support their parents.
"No," he raped out; "that is an
older law. It was written by God Al
mighty on two tables of stone and
brought down by Moses from Mount
Sinai; and as far as [ can make out,
Thomas, it is the stone and not the
law that has got into your heart. -

Pretending to Know.

It is a curious fact that it is nearly
always the most ignoranr people who
are so afraid Of their ignorance being
discovered. If you commence talking
to these people on some subject about
which they know practically nothing,
they are not honest enough to at once
let this become apparent, 50 that one
may tactfully turn the conversation
into other channels, and thus find out,
probably, what they do know and can
easily talk about; but they nod tbeir
heads emphatically, acquiescing in
everything you say, just rs if that
were the conclusion that they also mad
come to after long and minute inves-
tigation of the subject. And it is on
ly the bewildered and harasseG look
which after a while creeps into their
eyes that lets you into tie secret
they have been playing at pretending
to understand all the time, and what
you have been saying t., in reality,
50 much Greek or "double Dutch -
to them.
Oh, the hollowness ard sham Of it.
all! Why not have openly avowed
their lack of knowledge and Snen. +
they still wished to hear something
more about what you Were <ayius,
they could have added, "But it is a
subject that has always had special
fascination for me,'' Or f;g:eat1y in
terests me-" and then frankly settle
themselves to listen, throwing out g
remark or asking a question aere and
there.
A good listener is bound to gather
together certain amount Of know
ledge, Or at least pick up 4 good deal
of useful information, whether Re Will
or not.
And as it is said that one good lis
tener is in more demand than two
takers, persons whose knowledge is
strictly limited should lay themselves
out to become the former. They Will
never find themselves in the way, for
the good conversationalist-and, be it
said, the empty-headed bore too-is
always on the lookout for the god
listener, be he ignorant or otherwise.
And thus everyone is pleased.

In every town there are persons
who. if they do not actually feel like
kicking the printcr-the newspaper
man-at any rate do a lot Of kicking
at the way he conducts his paper.
Please don't kick the printer; he IS
doing the best he can.
And what he does for the town and
community, despite his occasional
mistakes. may he a great dead more
than the kickers themselves are doing.
Did that ever occur to you?
We are all neighbors in this town.
What helps one helps the others.
What hurts one hurts others. Every
community is a mutual benefit asso-
citation, whether organized or just rum

paper-how would you like that? Do
you know what happens to towns that
don't support newspaper? Nothing
happens.
