We frequently hear people say,
"oh, I read only the city papers
there's nothing but gossip In
the home papers" II this were
really the truth and there were
no advertisements, announcements,
notices OF deaths, births, we'd
dings, sickness, accidents, etc, the
mission OF the country paper
would still be an suportant one.
There Is no greater instrument
for the solution of the social
problems than the country press.
without II the country would soon
become as the city-every man for
himself and the devil for them all.
While living in ST. Louis we oc-
cupiei a double house with a
family for years without ever learn
ing their name or a desire TO know
them, a very common occurrence
in the cities-d rule in fact.
Like the lodge or church, the
paper serves TO bring about a
closer acquaintance and sympathy
between the people OF its COM
munity. They get to know each
other better and are interested In
n dnother's welfare. They glad
ly neighbor ana assist each other
to their mutual benefit, making
life worth living. Were II not for
the interest OF the country people
In each other ana a standing to-
gether for the common good not
only would the charity problem
and suffering be a serious one,
but country life would be hard
ship for all. Nothing deserves
more credit for overcoming many
of the objections to country life
than the gossip OF the country
paper.

peace in the family was careful
20 give no offense to the opposi-

to indorse Col Roosevelt and the
Taft people realized their weak
ness ana the fact that it would
only expose their weakness to at
tempt to endorse Taft. Many of
the Taft boomers take the matter
seriously and may have some
"sore spots" after the President
Is turned down at Chicago, as
many have started some politi-
cal ambition, but ought to play
fair ana then they could support
the nominee gracefully. A few

Tripped.-A business man, poul'
terer. was in the habit Of making
claims on all bills. Sometimes these
claims were just, usually they were
unjust; at any rate by his generous
use of them he got discount on ev-
cry purchase Of 4 to per cent.
Well, one Thanksgiving season this
tricky business man received g. dozen
barrels of dressed turkeys from west
ern dealer. Heretofore he had bought
live turkeys from the dealer. Hence
now. he made the grievous error OF
writing and claiming for six birds that
had sickened in transit and had reach
ed the storehouse dead.
The western dealer replied to the
claim as follows:
Dear sir: We regret to say we find
It impossible to allow claim put for
ward in yours of oath inst. We have
established a rule that all customers
desiring live dressed turkeys must no
tify us Of same in advance, so that we
may ship same in cars specially steam
heated.
Turkeys without their feathers and
insides are liable to contract pneu-
monIa If shipped in ordinary way In
refrigerator cars. The mortality among
dressed turkeys was very pronounced
this year. Yours sadly."-Washing-

Spoke Too Hastily.-The wife of
leading minister in New Jersey town
was sitting on the porch Of the manse
when a man with a grip in his hand
started to come up the steps
Spotting him at once for a book
agent or a peddler, she said firmly:
Nothing today"
Have you one?" queried the stran-
ger.
Fearing that an affirmative answer
might lead to further conversation, In
which the salesman would try to dem
onstrate the improvements made in the
article since she had purchased hers,
the minister's wife answered shortly,
MOI"
Shaking his head, the man retreat
ed down the steps, repeating this SEN
tence several times: Hasn't got one;
doesn't want one"
The mans manner and tone of voice
awakened the woman's curiosity; so
very soon she went over. to a neigh
bor's house, where she had seen the
man stop and asked:
What was that man who was here
a few minutes ago selling"
To her astonishment and chagrin
the neighbor replied: BIBLES. Lip

The First Silk Stockins.-It appears

the marriage of his sister in 1859. first
gave the idea for silk hose and was
the first to wear silk-knitted stock
ings at that epoch-making event A
hundred years later one Hindres es-
tablished a factory for stockings in
the Bois de Roulogne.
This was the first factory in France
1t was a success at the start, and when
it received protection from the ther
ministers 1t was a kind of gold mine
In 1866 the venture was turned into
a company. From it arose the So
ciety of Stocking Makers. At this
time ribbed stockings were made in
England. but it was not until nearly
a century later that such wear was
introduced into France. The idea, to
use a vulgarism, caught on" and
factories were established in Paris and
at Lyons.-Mancheste Guardian.
