DO you know that there are more
people who sponge" on a newspaper
than there are people who sponge"
on their relatives? When a man
comes into the world he receives
free "ad' and when he dies and his
bad debts are overlooked by the char
liable editor. All during his life he
asks and receives fayors from the
newspapers. If they speak well OF
him the nattering notice is received
with silence. II his acts are criti-
cized, he talks OF damage suit He
desires favorable mention and desires
it often. In fact. some men have an
idea that a newspaper is run express
ly for the purpose of keeping them
before the public, and that, too,
without money and without price.

that the making OF such pledges
are more inimical to good govern
ment than the acceptance OF money
from interested persons and ! am

other person in America who agrees
with me-

LUCK


Good luck is a twin brother TO-
hard work.
Hard luck is almost a synonym Tor
laziness.
Luck walks while work rides in a
carriage.
Luck pictures dollar while work
earns It.
Luck dreams of a home while work
builds one.
To trust to luck is like fishing with
hookless line.
Luck is a disease for which hard
work is the only remedy.
Luck longs for dinner Wnlie
labor goes out and earns one.
Luck is weather vane with dis
tinguishing points broken OF.
Luck goes barefooted while WORK
never lacks for a pair of shoes.
The man who relies on luck u
lucky II he keeps out of the poor
house.
Luck takes a nap while brains an'
hard work are winning points.
