complain about buying plenty of ink,
paper~pencils and postage stamps for
boys and girls.

Lawyers stand up in court houses
before jurors, in the presence of large
audiences, and denounce men as liars,
Scoundrels, thieves and perjured vii
lians, and when court adiounS the
men appear to harbor no i'll will
against them. But let u newspaper
family intimate that n mans charac-
ter is blemished, and he has to con
front horse pistol, stand a libel suit
or suffer what the people think TO bo
the greatest of all notifications lose
a subscriber,
a sad-faced editor, with fringcs ON
the bottom of his trousers, and the
wind signing mournfully through his
whiskers, sat in his sauctum thinking
thinking. Presently a shadow fell
across the room and Il shrill voice de-
manded to know if he was the editor.
Eyes sir, said he with look of alarm.
The owner of the voice moppcd the
floor with the editor and went his
way. Thank heaven. exclaimed the
editor after he had gathered together
the wreck Of his former self and had
Strengthened up the furniture, life is
still worth living; expected he would
tell me to stop his paper. Elk,

Mr.. Wencle Trochil Of Gibson made
a call at the PILOT Office Tuesday
When we speak Of the brides veil
and the marriage ring everybody UNI
derstands, but to talk Of the wedding
knife seems harsh and barbarous. But
it was not 50 with our ancestors, for I'M
England and all over the rest Of Eur
ope, as late as the Seventeenth cen
fury, the wedding knife was to the
bride rs essential and appropriate as
her blush or veil. Shakespeare pre-
sents Juliet in the friar's cell and in
the act Of taking the sleeping potion
as wearing her wedding knives As il
then figured the knife symbolizcd do
nestle use and good housewifcry, With
allusion perhaps to the possible sever
ance Of the marriage knot, though this
latter would seem to be out OF place
and inharmonious. 1t is more than
probable that the worldwide ,uper,ti-
ton that gift Of friendship must new
or be anything that will cut is rcspon-
siblo for the falling away Of the GUS
tom. Many people today would assoon
have a shroud or a tombsto tone for a
wedding gift as the finest Sheffield
blade ever made.
