THE WRATH or The SUBSCRIBE
ER

1t Is doubtless true that subscribers
get angry at things they read in the
| papers every day, and not a few in
dulge in unbottling their wrath, which
is a most dangerous practice under
any and all circumstances. Every
newspaper publisher is accustomed to
that Grabbed order: You can stop
my paper!" And this really arouses
no surprise in printing offices nova
days. A Georgia editor. after a re-
cent experience Of this kind. sat down
and wrote a word of advice to such
subscribers, which is just as good
reading here in the north as it is at
the south, where it was first printed.
He said:
After you get angry and stop your
paper, just poke your finger into wa
ter, pull it out and look at the hole;
then you know how sadly you are
missed A man who thinks a paper
cannot thrive without his support
ought to go off and stay awhile. When
he comes back half his friends viii
not know he has been gone and the
other half will not care, while the
world at-large kept no account OF his
movements. You win find things you
cannot indorse in every paper. The
Book of Books is often very plain
and hits some hard raps, but II you
were to get mad and burn your Bible
the hundreds of presses would go on
printing it. SO, when you stop your
paper and call the editor names, the
paper viii still be published, and what
is more, you will read II on the sly"
This southern knight of the quill
understands human nature, and was
equipped TO give his irate customer
this good advice 1t is worthy the
thoughtful consideration Of all news
paper readers.

The only "out" about this experiment
| is the implication that 1t is original
and unique. This kind Of a life has
bee lived constantly in the world ever
since the pattern of it first appeared
In an Asiatic country nineteen centuries
ago. To be sure, 1t has never been a
very popular style of life; but enough
persons have lived it from year to year,
from century TO century, to preserve
the type. One could always find some
where in the world, perhaps In the
desert or the wilderness, quite as often
as in the stress and strain Of active
life, men and women whose traits to
some extent reminded one of Jesus
Christ, of his gentleness and unselfsh-
ness, Of his purity and courage, of his
compassion and helpfulness.
Moreover, this kind Of a life is 60
inc to be lived more generally in the
future than in the past. Creeds may
be shortened and some Of them put one
side altogether. Forms and ceremonies
M count for less than they did in
some periods OF the past. Pious phrases
and ecclesiastical usages may fall into
disrepute; but more and more people
are going to govern their behaviour by
the teachings of the spirit of the one
who, though he has been before the
judgment of the world for 50 long, and
criticised from every conceivable point
Of view, IS stiIl in the Judgment Of the
wisest and most discerning among US,
the perfect man.

Jane, why do you try to test the ex-
actness Of certain statements? Of
course, l cannot say Halley's comet is
not going sol miles a minute. 1 know
the astronomers do not mention fine
surplus mile, but they do say that this
old earth of ours in its orbital motion
is making 72O miles minute and beat
ing Halley's comet by over 2 00O
miles an hour. That is going some
Jane. but 1t is slow compared with the
speed Of light at $4,000 miles a sec
ond. We do not realize much about
speed. We call the two-minute horse
the thirty-knOt boat and the 1OO-mile
locomotive fast while several of the
plrds that fly over US in the night go
az the rate Of over 200 miles an hour.
We are told that everything is relative
Jane. but when we come to speed-
our relative speed-it is of a very slow
rate.

member that the bellies of the switch
board are no longer hello girls. &"
These patient, responsive, busy lasses
have been called operators and other
common titles, but New York gives
notice that the guardians of our tele-
phone messages are "phonistes." If
that had blown in from Boston we
should not have been surprised, but as
q bit Of refinement from New York it
is rather unexpected. It is explained
that the piano girl is a pianiste and
the stage girl an artistic, so Won seq
that this new title is in a euphoni1us

in one of the dormitories Of Harvard,

pair removes a garment for each point
lost by them. The first pair ready for
retiring is forced to go ANONYMOUSLY
to bed. Those who are weak in the
game find it to their advantage to be
strong on clothes, as their luck is

The NAN WHO ALAS

Theirs is nothing like activity, II it
Is only expressed in saving wood. He
who is most active gets most out of
life. Ten thousand steps mean five
miles Of exhilaration and the rein
forcement of health. The go in man.
be It mental or physical is what null
tiplies uses and benefits and gives
color to the pages of life. Activity is
the art of doing something-it is al
ways a check to stagnation. That
slang phrase, Get a move on you!"
means too much to perish. Stir and
be Stirred, is a good motto. Ice makes
soonest on still water-rust weakens
steel bars. The strong man is the man
who has kept everlastingly at it. The
learned man has not known many idle
moments; the well-to-do man has not
known much lost time. The young
man idling becomes an old man in
need. Activity is the very spirit Of
achievement

When you see an incorrigible boy or
girl. you see a child that has not been
properly dealt with. Neglect in tender
years is one of the worst things which
can befall a child. When it should be
acquiring useful habits, learning how
to find most happiness in making itself
useful. ii is left to shift for itself and
becomes as obstinate and shiftless as
lack of care and lack of knowledge
can make it. There is nothing more
valuable to the individual in this world
than to get started right-to know that
this is purposeful world and a great
deal better than its repute. These are
not bad children who fill public insti-
tutions. but perverts who are the vic
tins of circumstance. We grown ups
owe more to the little child than it ever
gets; it does better by us than we
really ought to expect.

Miss Ncttie Streetcr Is Married 10
Harry Pick by Rev. l.. w. Knatz
of the Reformed Church In Buoy
rus, Sunday Evening.

What appeared very much to be an
elopement was witnessed by a number
of Bucyrus people, Sunday, when a
Marion girl and young man from
Franklin, Pennsylvania, came to that
place Sunday evening in an automo-
bile and were united in marriage by
Rev. +. w. Knatz, of the Reformed
church The wedding party was COM
posed of Miss Nellie Streeter, of this
city, and Mr.. Harry Pick, who is em.
ployed temporarily here.
According to the statements of the
Bucyrus people, they were accompan-
led by man and two women in the
automobile and returned home inn
mediately following the wedding cere-
mony. They had come hurriedly into
the village and had asked the Rev. Mr..
Knatz to postpone his evening church
service somewhat In order that they
might be married. The minister. how
ever. was not In favor of delaying his
service and the young people were
compelled to walt. Immediately fol-
lowing the ceremony the young people
hastened to their automobile and start
ed toward this city. The license
bore no marks to show where IL had
been issued. The haste of the young
people took the minister by surprise
and he declares that It was one oi
the most peculiar ceremonies he has
ever performed.
Regarding the wedding ceremony
the Bucyrus Evening Telegraph il
its account of the wedding says;
REV. Mr.. Knatz was somewhat
disturbed by the conduct of the
couple, who manifested great dispo
sition to make fun over the affai
while the ceremony was in progress
The minister was forced TO subdu'
their overflowing spirits remind
ing them that this was very grav,
and important step they were takini
and that they should contemplate 1t il
a proper spirit Of reverence. The mil,
rebuke had its effect and the cere
mony proceeded uninterrupted"
Investigation into the matter her,
reveals little as to the intention c
the young people In their seeming
elopement. The young lady is quit,
well known here. The groom is EN-
ployed at construction work here.
