said a paper edited by a man with
such sentiments couldn't come into
his house.
:. :. "
One time a man came into the
office and inquired if we wanted to
publish an item about woman
going over the country dressed in
mems clothing. He was told that
was the very thing we were looking
for. He seemed much tickled. We
began to write down the alleged
facts as he gave them out, and
when he had finished the paper
was read over and pronounced by
him to be perfect in that it gave
the facts exactly correct But
when the paper was passed over to
him for his signature he wilted like
leaf. The man declared ne
wouldn't sign his name to the
facts" because he didn't want to
have anything to do with it." To
tell the truth, we had not the slight
est idea of printing this mans
story in any event, and we knew,
too, that he wouldn't sign his name
to that paper. The point is, there
are people who are perfectly willing
to get the newspaper man into
trouble if they can stay out them
selves
:: {" :.
Not so very long ago we received
a letter through the mail which
purported to be news letter. 1t
only contained two very short, un-
important news items, then a
whole page of paper was taken up
with a description, etc, of some
stock which had Strayed from the
author of the letter. Of course the
man was only trying to work" us
for some free advertising, and the
effort was so plain that the letter
was thrown into the stove. In a
week or two we got another letter
from the same party containing the
suggestion that this paper would
see the time when it would be glad
to get hold of the news" We are
in truth always glad to get hold Of
the news, but ideas differ about
what is news. {
1t has been our experience that
almost every man who writes q
letter for publication in the news
paper will Get all puffed up and
stop his subscription If his letter is
not published. In December a cit
izen Of this county sent us a letter
containing twelve badly written
pages on subject Of absolutely no
interest to the people Of this coun-
ty. In that letter he called the
Record q valuable" and interest
Ing" paper, The letter didn't ap-
pear in print and another one
came. Stop my paper"-we knew
it before the letter was fairly open
Not long since citizen Of Okla
homa, who formerly lived In this
town, wrote us a long letter, In
which he praised Oklahoma to the
skies, and asked that we print 1t,
We didn't do 1t because we believed
he had stretched the blanket" and
misstated facts all In favor Of Ok
lahoma. II came; another letter.
so cold II made the chills run up
our back, We knew 1t was stop
my paper" as soon as we saw the
letter, This paper wants truthful,
sensible letters on matters of inter
est to our readers, We do not Oct
as many of this kind of letters from
the people as we would like to
have But we will not inflict our
columns or our readers with lot
of disconnected jareon, uninterest-
ing and meaningless, 50 long as 1t
costs only subscription not to do

In Memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance of oul
dear little son, Charles Owen Boswell, who
died February %. 1912, aged year,
months and II days.
We had little treasure once,
He was our joy and pride.
We loved him, oh perhaps too well,
For soon he slept and died.
Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with Him who gave,
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst His shining band.
And so He bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.
Those little lips so sweet to kiss
Are closed forever now,
Those sparkling eyes that shone so bright
Beneath that pearly brow.
That little heart that beat so high,
Free from all care and gloom,
Is hidden now from those he loved
Beneath the silent tomb.
In the band of fadeless beauty
He is now shining star,
Dwelling in the Holy City
With the golden gates ajar
By his loving parents,
James and Cecilia Boswell.

A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
Sufferer in Rockville.
No woman can be healthy and well if
the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass
off in the urine when the kidneys are well
are retained in the body when the kid
neys are sick. This is the true cause of
many bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, etc. Uric poisoning also causes
headaches, dizzy spells, langour, nervous
ness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney
Pills. You will get better as the kidneys
get better, and health will return when the
kidneys are well. Let fellow sufferer tell
you about Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. William Abrecht, 800 W. Patrick
street, Frederick, Md, says: II suffered a
great deal from backache and my kidneys
were disordered. Often was so bad that
had to place my hands on my hips in
