snake.KiIIlnq Birds.

In South Africa is to be found the
champion snake killer Of the bird fam.
lly. 1t is known as the secretary
bird.
The name seems an odd one, but
the bird received its name from a
crest or tuft of plumage rising from
the back of its head, which reminds
one Of a secretary or bookkeeper with
bunch Of quills stuck behind his
car.

menung on the compensations OF the
newspaper business says:
The man who edits the average
country newspaper can not well avoid
treading on somebody's toes often for
unintentlonal failures must expect
hard work and little thanks must ex-
pect to be called a coward because he
doe not pitch into" everything that
somebody thinks is wrong, and fool II
he speaks too plainly on public evils;
he must-expect to grind other peoples
axes-and turn the grindstone him
self. Still we think 1t is one Of the
noblest professions on earth; the one
in which the earnest man can do the
most good to his tellow-man, and in
which an honorable man can WELD
much power for good.
There are eompensations in the
newspaper business. 1t isn't all thank
less, unremitting and unremunerative
toll. There are ups and downs, lights
and shadows. pains and pleasures con-
sequent to sponsoring a newspaper.
But the sweet outweighs the bitter.
The work is hard, but it isn't dull and
laborious like pounding flints with a
sedge. It is not very profitable, but
1t beats running a hand laundry. News
paper men seldom leave estates large
enough for lawyers to quarrel over.
but they live while they do live-they
dun vivimus while they are dunn
yiyamusing And as for that, even
within the limited acquaintanceship of
state press there are quite several ed
itors and proprietors who fare better
every day than old Dives Jared on Sun
days and holidays"

The Daily Chieftain prints and cir.
culates an average of 5000 copies per
week and nine out of ten of these pa
pers go into the homes of people who
trade in Vinita. The Weekly Chieftain
has larger circulation but prints
once a week and is scattered over a
wider territory and hence it worth less
to the local advertiser. With the net
work of rural routes that win soon
carry mail every day to the very door
of every home in the United States
the time is coming when there will be
few weekly newspapers.
