AN IRISHMAN'S WIT
By Henry L. Doherty

SEVERAL years ago, while managing the
gas and electric property at Madison
Wisconsin, came in daily contact with an
Irishman by the name of Malaney who was
then superintendent. He had a keen ap-
probation of humor and wit and was never
so happy as when he could make you wonder
whether he was extremely foolish or ex-
tremely witty. His bulls were often, and
perhaps always, premeditated. l liked to
joke with him, although l generally got the
worst of it.
He had persistent habit of working on
Sunday, and it seemed to me that he always
picked out job of trenching in front of
some church or equally conspicuous place.
While in spirit he was one of the most loyal
and obedent employees ever had, in reality
he did not know how to mind.
Whenever l spoke to him about his Sum-
day work, he would always say, when the
OK falls into the pit he shall be taken out"
The whole difference was between his opin-
ion and mine as to what really constituted an
OK in a pit. Finally had to give him orders
that he was never to work on Sunday with
out my consent.
For several weeks there was no cause for
complaint.
1 was absent from the city for two or
three weeks and returned unexpectedly on a
Sunday. While out for drive l saw ditch
open in side street and guessed in a mo-
ment that Malaney was at work there with
some of his men. drove down to the ditch,
and found him on his knees trying to blow
up a fire in lead kettle. He would not have
seen me at all if had not spoken to him:
but. coming up Immediately behind him,
said, "Mr. Malaney. have not told you re-
peatedly that you must not work on Sun
day?"
He almost collided with my last words by
his ready response, which was, aye did, we
did; but I forgot to ask you whether you
were Jew or Gentle"

THE MISSION Or ADVERTISING.

FfE MISSION Or ADNEHT tSING.
IN an address at Oklahoma City, p.
ST. Elmo Lewis. an advertising expert
Of national fame, gave the following
pointers;
Advertising has created wealth be-
cause it has brought new wants into
life.
It has made business because it has
carried commercial security and profit
and poetry and art into the frontiers
Of the world.
II has educated people in business
morals, for it has brought home the
far-hung organizations the law chat
he who serves best shall profit most. 2
It has educated the people in liberty
for It has awakened desire in hope
less hearts and armored the weak with
the power Of the printed word
II has carried civilization to the ends
Of the earth, where neither selfsacri-
flee Of holy life, nor the bravery Of
fearless hearts could make an impress
sion on self interest
IN It's practice it is jealous mis-
tress that calls for the best that any
man yet gave to business.
Advertising has done more to make
war Improbable than all the dread
naughts afloat on the seven seas.
While kings and generals have cried
for war their merchants have made
treaties Of peace, for where millions
have been spent making a market, gold
Will not be spent making a war.

WATTERsoN's IDEA or JOURNAL
IsM-AND OURS.

Ii an address before the Canadian
Press association at Toronto, Can,
Henry Watterson concluded with the
following paragraph: 4 do not believe
the newspaper should consider itself
as a public prosecutor; rather the per-
sonal representative, friend and neigh
Dor OF good men and good women,
pouring III upon the community the
sunshine Of heaven. not kindling and
stirring the fires Of hell; It's aim and
end, first, last and all the time, to en-
tighten and to brighten, to radiate and
to warm. not to embitter, to browbe It
and to dazzle
We know Col. Watterson will be
highly gratified to learn that our
ideas on this great subject coincide
precisely with his views. 1t is quite
d compliment to him to have his ideas
approved BY such eminent authority
and nobody will blame him if he swells
up bit over it.
Ideas as to the mission and manage
ment Of a newspaper vary widely and
everyone is entitled to his own say
we don't insist on anybody else taking
our view. Col. Watterson has express
ed our sentiments good deal better
than we could express them.
Every day we are besought by some
body to assume the role of public
prosecutor and If we listened to all
the advise that is given us, our Whole
paper would be filled every day with
browbeating. We don't contend that
there are not times when 1t becomes
the duty Of the press to do some prose
cutting, but we believe the paper when
follows the general policy indi ,a'ed by
Col. Watterson serves the public bet
ter than the swapping, snarling. cyni-
cal, hell.raising publication.

HONOR.

A king lay dead and many people
grieved,
And busy poets offered threnodies;
AL birth princes rights he had re-
ceiyed.
Before him mighty men had crooked
their knees.
His duties he performed without com
plant,
He ever acted well his kingly part,
He never learned the ache Of wants
restraint,
The blows Of hardship never bruised
his heart
A man who had been worthy in his
place,
Whose duties had been done with
honest care,
Lay with the blanch Of death upon his
face,
But people did not pause in dumb
despair.
The few that heard his name, forget
ting, passed,
What If he had been strong and
good and brave?
We must reserve our praise for kings
at last,
When they go down with honor to
the grave. IS. e. Riser,

When Geo. Theo. Smith, our fire
chief, goes abroad, it is advisable
for people to keep their fingers
crossed, for, as a fire "hoodoo," he
has no equal. The rule of three"
said to govern the occasions of fires,
does not concern him; he goes it
one better. After making certain
that the Forsyth fire here last Fri
day afternoon, was entirely extin-
guished, he had barely time to catch
the train for Ulen, Mimi, where he
had business appointment. Hav-
ing secured his rooms at the hotel
in Ulen, he went in search of the
gentleman with whom he was to
transact his business. While talk
ing together an alarm of fire was
sent in and on investigation Mr..
Smith discovered that the hotel at
which he was stopping was the
scene of the conAagration. He
rushed over and from force of habit
directed the operation of putting
out the blaze which was shortly un-
der control. Returning home Sun
day his train pulled into the station
at Manitoba Junction, and the de-
pot was ablaze to greet him. To
cap the climax and spoil the three"
rule, while the brakeman was light
ing the lamps in the coaches, por-
ton of the lighted head of match
flew onto his neck at the base of the
collar, causing an ugly scar. Mr..
Smith does not carry any fire insur-
ance on his anatomy, but places
down on his line of march ought to
hold their fire brigade in readiness
for his coming among them.
