COOK NOT THE ONLY ONE.
AFTER all that DR.. Cook owes to the
newspapers for having brought him
publicity, after all that he owes to
them Tor having stood by him in his
dispute, DR.. Cook has announced that
the newspapers have used him very
padly, and he speaks with great Bit
terness or the fact that the newspa-
pers which sustained him have given
1t up as bad job
There are q good many DR.. Cooks
running around at liberty in every
city, and every newspaper man knows
them.
A man may have columns and col
umns OF good things printed about
MN; his acts may be lauded far
above what they really deserve; his
nave oeen able to get the very best
treatment at all times from the news
paper. But If there comes a time
Wnen Tor some reason the paper is
onLged to print some unpleasant
truth about him, If at any time through
accident, some trivial misstatement
creeps In about him, If he thinks that
the paper Is giving him less attention
than he deserves. these DR.. Cooks
tnat we always have with us in the
all about everything that the news
paper has done for them. and remem-
Der only the one instance where the
newspaper displeased.
AND then the man runs around on
the streets and abuses the editor, and
ridicules the reporters, and SCOTS at
the whole outfit
Or he may go to the terrible ex-
IRENE of stopping his paper.
rev people can realize what a
oloW II Is to paper when some irate
subscriber stops his paper.
Generally story which is of suf-
nclent importance to make a SUBJ
scrlber ouit in wrath will appeal to
several others as such a good thing
that the paper will gain by having
printed the offending story.
AS soon as a newspaper spots one
OF these DR.. Cooks the day of com
plime ntary notices and free puffs is
over Tor him. There is nothing quite
so disgusting as one who forgets past
favors.-Salina Journal.
EXPERIENCE.
Half of the young men who aren't
gettlng anywhere in the world are held
eack because they think they could run
the business better than the boss. In
the smoking room while the stays are
smoking out" few dances the strip

chance." elevates his patent feathers
TO the stove and between limitations
on his cigarette tells how a successful
business ought to be conducted. 1.-THE
old man is a queer duck" is the usual
prefix to the explanation. HE does this
ana tnat Wnen he ought to do so and
so. It's none of my business, of course,
but I'd just like to be in his shoes
awhile" THE man who knows more
than the boss" is DISCONTINUED man.
He has convinced himself he isn't paid
what nfs services are worth and all
because the boss knows so little about
his own business that he doesn't know
good man when he sees one. He only
half does the work assigned him be-
cause he knows it ought to be done
some other way-his way. The IMAM
who knows more than the boss'' Is US
ually a kicker and a grumbler and
holds $12-a-week job as long as the
spell is on him. Fortunately young
men have almost monopoly on this
undesirable state. When a man has
bumped along the rough old path of
business few years it begins to perco-
late into his head that the boss is do
ing a pretty good job of landing on
his feet every time, and he begins to
take notice of how he does it. It be-
gins to wear in on him that the boss
has some brains after all, and that
his queer way gets there in the
long run. He begins to study the boss
some instead of watching himself all
the time, and the first thing he knows
