sILENcING NEWSPAPERS.

It was discovered long ago that the best way to keep any political devel- opment secret from reporters lay along the lines of confidential state ment; indeed. this method has often been practiced with unfairness toward some reporter. who would otherwise have almost certainly found out the facts for himself. Without regard to political or other alignments report CTS handle public men with great consideration. suppressing no little which might be legitimately used. When an issue of veracity arises be- tween any newspaper man and any public man it is not often that the judicious are in doubt whom to be- lieve. Yellow journalism constantly colors and occasionally fakes, but even yellow journalism has its code. The newspaper man who does not keep his word inviolatc is almost like the priest who reveals the se- crets of the confessional-and we un- derstand that no authentic record of any such priest exists.-Charlotte Ob- server

A conductor and a brakeman on Montana railroad differ as to the proper pronunciation of the name Flu relia. Passengers are often startled upon arrival at this station to hear the conductor yell:

CLENDENNIN AND FAME.

Perhaps you never heard before of
the town of Clendennin. Perhaps
you have lived your life in ignorance
that the map was marked with such
a spot. Awake, for Clendenin has
risen suddenly and nightly to fame.
The town council of Clendenin has
passed an ordinance making it a mis-
demeanor for women to ride astride
horseback through the streets. Other
towns and other communities may
permit this. Such riding has even
been seen on the streets of Wheel
ingS but the cause of-well, what
ever cause it is-will not be allowed
to die so long as the town council of
Clendennin hold Office.
Women of other communities may
take to themselves this privilege of
giving up the side saddle for the po-
sition astride with divided skirts,
but not tina women of Cledennin.
The members Of the fair sex may ar
que that no more of the feminine
form is exposed by this posture than
by the older one, that a position
aStride is more secure and more COM
Portable, but her arguments avail
nothing with the members of the
town council of Clendennin.
As stated, CIendenin may have
rested in oblivion before and the
members of her council have been
unknown to the world at large. 1t
will be different now. This move
will undoubtedly result in their
names being posted in the hall of
fame as preservers of the public
morals.-Wheeling News.

ALTTTLE ROMANTIC
THINKS HIS SISTER MIGHT Be IN POINT
PLEASANT.

Parkersburg, W. Va, July 81
A young man by the name of Pfalz-
graf appeared at police headquarters
about midnight last night and asked
aid in search for his sister, aged l6,
who disappeared from home. He told
the officers that he thinks she is in
either Charleston, Huntington or
Point Pleasant, he don know which.
He also gave out the information that
his sister had met man by the name
of Charles Harris, a member of the
National Guard while the Second
Regiment was in camp here couple
of weeks ago and he believes that she
had eloped with him.
His sister was employed at the
home of Mrs. Smoot, on Fifth street.
Today efforts will be made to locate
the girl. The young man was very
much wrought up over the affair.
He considered it possible that she
had gone to the home of relatives to
visit, though he quite naturally
thought it strange that she would
not let the family know of her going.

says: The first is also the center
of a probable seismic period, ex-

ports verify this prediction. On the
Soth of July Mexico had a death
dealing earthquake, shaking the City
of Mexico in frightful way as well
as other cities in that country, in
Guiding thousands of miles of country

DEFINING THE KN0CEER.

Richard earle, who has way of
mixing considerable philosophy with
his nonsense, says: "a boost travels
by slow freight, but knock scorns
anything but the lightning express. "
This is true and it is great pity
that it is true. Loud above the hum
of this life's activities reverberate
the discordant notes of the anvil
chorus. Some have tack hammers
and Others have sledges and all these
are generally busy.
There is good deal of sense of
course in honest and outspoken
criticism, for it spurs men on to bet
ter things, and although the crit
cism may be a better pill at the time
it is given, there is no doubt as to
its value later on. That is not a
knock, but boost. The knock of
latter day parlance is not defined by
Webster but it is understood to be
a mean, undermined blow struck in
the dark, generally by one who is
supposed to be a friend. There are
men and women who are artists in
this profession and who have grown
proficient from long training. tap
pears to be their mission in the
world, for they are seldom good for
anything else.
Fortunately they are not in the
majority and their work is often so
vicious that it doesn't do any harm.
The people who are slammed,
knocked and ibeled, seem to get
along first rate and that is the happy
side of the situation. There are a
great many persons in the world
who would rather be lied about than
to be ignored altogether, and it may
be to satisfy this particular class that
the knocker is put on earth.
