RECTOR, Of Larimore, an old cod
ger who is always handing out
something original in the joke
line and is very pleasing to meet.

it that, as most advertisements
are conveyed in periodical publi-
cations, the active verb to turn

zeal. In word that the publish
er must be active in his part Of
the task Of turning the mind or
attention to the particular thing
advertised. | am convinced that
there is nothing so much with the
advertising business Of today as
that too many publishers are pas
sive as to their part in the trans

interests of the advertiser and
almost none to the attitude of
the people sought to be reached
by the advertisement. When we

flcatins Of advertising but for our
purpose it is sufficient to discuss
Home and Foreign advertising.
These classifcations may not be
defined. The difference is obvi-
Gus and the division familiar to
newspaper men generally.
II believe that the country week
ly must necessarily favor the
home advertiser, not in rates, but
in loyalty to interests, because in
the small towns we are, or should
be, peculiarly bound to each 9TH
er by a sort Of commercial pa
triotism, ties of mutually Of in
terest, civic pride and neighbor-
illness. But in making this state
ment I am assuming that there
is. reciprocal feeling towards
the newspaper publisher and his
interests, as there should be in

At six o'clock a banquet was
held at the Armory where the
visitors and many local people

it. If, in many communities, the
whole newspaper business is re-
garded with something akin to
contempt, the fault lies chiefly
with newspaper men themselves,
who, partly in earnest, and partly
from a perverted sense of humor,
have encouraged the conception
of the newspaper man as a being
akin to the court fool of olden
days, adorned with cap and bells,
uttering words of nimble wit and
occasional wihdom for the enter
tainment Of the community, con-
tributing nothing of real value to
those whom he amuses, neither

Making Use Of Penquins.

The most southern industry in the
world is believed to be the strange
business established on Macquarie
island. barren nesting place for sea
birds, which lies about $50 miles
southeast of Tasmania, the large
island situated little south of Austria
liza which is noted for it's fine apples,
many sheep and valuable timber, and
as being the birthplace of Mrs. Hum
phry Ward. the English novelist, Mac
querie island is the home of vast num-
bers Of penguins. the population of
these big birds being estimated at
8O,000,000, on an area of $4,000 acres.
The penguins are boiled in "digesters"
holding about 800 birds at time. and
when the steam is turned of and wa
ter pumped into the bottoms of the
digesters the oil rises to the top and
is drawn off into barrels. 1t is used
by manufacturers of binder twine in
Australia and New Zealand.

Strange, but Not Incredible,

Montenegro has law ordaining that
any found valuable shall be placed
where the loser can find it. The fact
suggests an anecdote told of Grimal-
dis grandfather in Dickens life of the
famous clown. On one of his visits to
Leadenhall market with nearly $4,000
in gold and silver upon him "he found
that his shoe had become unbuckled.
and, taking from his pocket the bag.
he placed 1t upon neighboring post.
and then proceeded to adjust the
buckle" Having afterward to pay for
a purchase, he missed his bag of gold.
and hurried back to the post where he
had buckled his shoe. although more
than three-quarters of an hour had
elapsed there 1t remained safe
and untouched on the top of a post In
the open street," That was in eight
eenth-century London.

SAYS NEY WAS A GERMAN
English Writer Makes Interesting A.
sertlon About Most Prominent
French Marshal.

A recent English book about Mar
shal Ney. Napoleon's herioc lieuten-
ant, ''the bravest OF the brave" brings
out some interesting facts.
This Frenchman was really Ger
man. He was born at Saariouis, now
in Prussia. and then and always Ger;
man. He spoke only German as q
child. He was red-haired, with q
wide face. and round blue eyes. Five
feet eight inches in height, he had
q short body and long legs. His COM
rades called him ''le rougeot." which
was equivalent to carrots or brick
top" He was forty-six years old at
Waterloo. So was Napoleon. So was
Wellington.
Michel Ney was a man who was
trained up to the hardships Of work
mans life. His father was cooper.
and in his boyhood work in his IA
theirs business he was accustomed to
toll and exposure. This enabled him
to sleep placidly in the snow on the
return from Moscow, wrapped in his
cloak. with the starved. ragged sol
diers Of the grand army keeping
guard. and the Cossacks prowling
around In the darkness"

COURT CALLED IT CRUELTY
Method Of Negro Lion Tanner Met
With the Decided DIsapproval
Of English Judge.

Lady Helmsley was q witness in an
interesting case heard at York. in
which a negro lion tanner named AL
bert Maccomo was sumoned for cru
ely terrifying a lioness. and Albert
Manders. menagerie proprietor. Of Old
ham, was summoned for permitting
the animal to be terrified, says the
London Pail Mall Gazette.
Manders was at the York Martin
mas fair, in November, and Lady
Helmsley was told by one Of the at
tendants that the lioness had already
caused the death OF one man and at
tackled two others. and that Maccomo
would at the period of his life enter
the cage.
Lady Helmsley described how the
animal was frightened by noises and
by the insertion into the cage OF red.
hot bars. She was so disgusted with
the performance that she left and re-
ported the matter to the police
Further evidence was called to show
that the man entered the cage for a
few moments. firing blank cartridges
while he was inside.
Manders was fined 20 shillings and
casts. and Maccomo 10 shillings and
costs.

PREDICTS A TooTHLess AGE
British Doctor Gives Out Opinion.
That Soft Foods Are Working
Havoc With the Race.

What our dentists have from time to
time been saying has been at last TAX
en- up by a London doctor, namely.
that our teeth are less solidly set in
the jaws than they should be for the
reason that civilization encourages us
to eat soft foods. "Biting is becoming
q lost art" says this British doctor.
"The surest way to save your teeth
from extinction is to bite hard sub
stances. Growing young people of to-
day should be given diet of hard bis
cults aud chop bones" He points out
that the jaws of today are narrower
than those of our ancestors-and this
applies to America as well as to Brit
ain-and that unless some changes are
made In our mode of life evolution will
breed a race that will be practically
toothless. He gives as the reason for
the narrowing of the jaws and that
they are less powerful that they are
not sufficiently exercised; that we do
not use our teeth to crunch hard foods
as did the early Britishers. He notes
that wisdom teeth. owing to the gen.
eral narrowness of the jaws, are cut
at all manner of times, and tells of
man of ffty-two who had just cut a
wisdom tooth owing to the removal Of
other molars which at last allowed 1t
to show itself above the gum.

Great Virtue.

There Is no greater everyday virtue
than cheerfulness. This quality in
woman is like sunshine to the day, or
gentle renewing moisture to parched
herbs. The light of a cheerful face
diffuses itself and communicates the
happy spirit that inspires it.
The sourest temper must sweeten
in the atmosphere of continuous good
humor. AS we'll might fog and cloud
and vapor hope to cling to sun-illum.
ined landscape as the blues" and
moroseness to combat jovial speech
and exhilarating laughter.
There Is no path but will be easier
Travelled. no load but will be lighter.
no shadow on heart or brain but will
lift sooner in the presence of a de
termined cheerfulness. It may at
times seem difficult for the happiest
tempered to keep the countenance OF
peace and content, but difficulty will
vanish when we truly consider that
sullen gloom and passionate despair
do nothing but multiply thorns and
thicken sorrows.

MODERN DINNER ALL RIGHT
Physician Declares That Appurtenan.
ces and Menu All Tend to Pro-
mote the Digestion.

Dinner as a social institution has
been so sedulously attacked by gas
tronomic experts In recent years that
the banquet has been held responsible
for many untimely deaths of public
men. One of the most conspicuous
statesmen in America was said to
have been killed by dining out The
consumption of course after course
upon a menu Is held by various au.
thorities to be inconsistent with long
life and even with continued health.
Now, all these notions. according to
DR.. r. s. Levenson, are based more
or less upon delusion. Discoveries
in the physiology of digestion during
the past dozen years do not discredit
the modern dinner, he says. They
vindicate 1t. Man has unconsciously
established a routine of courses in the
of the physiological principles upon
which digestion is founded. Take, for
instance, the elaborate gowns worn by
the women and the evening suits by
the men, the floral decorations and the
music. There is no doubt that each
of these items serves the purpose Of
composing a generally favorable stage
setting for digestion. 1t has been
shown in recent years that the moods
created by these details have d.
rectly favorable bearing upon the per-
formance of the digestive function

Harmony of CoIors.

The principle that the sensation OF
white results from the equal excite
ment Of sensations produced by the
three fundamental radiations is de-
duced naturally from an analysis OF
the rules of the harmony of colors.
Colored lights do not focus at the
same point; therefore the eye must
seize different distances at the same
time in order to see when different
colored surfaces touch. The differ
ence of refrangibility of the different
colored rays causes some colors to
stand out and others to stand back.
Red is the most flying" or ''tapering"
of the colors. red object always ap-
pearing to be farther away than blue
object. though 1t is seen on the same
plane and in the same light.-Har-

Matrimonial Market.

The Hitabadi and Basumati. native
Indian papers, publish between them
some curious instances bearing on
the state Of affairs that prevails In
the matrimonial market of the pres
ent day. Here Is one of them: An
elderly gentleman of Cooch Behar. a
widower of slender means having a
manageable daughter to dispose Of,
was on the lookout for suitable BRIDE
groow. But the prohibitive rates rul-
ing in the market was aginst him,
and he at last hoped that with the
dowry he would obtain from the mar
riage of his only son he would marry
away his daughter. But as Ill luck
would have it, the boy died, and the
gentleman, finding no other way open,
was forced to enter into wedlock him
self for a second time in order that
he might marry the girl to his new
brother-in-law!

The first pump ever invented was
the heart of a man or animal, and 1t
is today one of the most perfect
pumps in use. The heart as a pump
is decidedly up to date. and engineers
unanimously agree that its principles
OF construction for the highest eff

surpassed by any pump invented by
man. 1t is not only powerful force
pump of incredible efficiency. but 1t Is

cLAssED SALMON AS LUXURY
Doctors Explanation Of Graded Fees
Had to satisfy Rich but Parsl-
moulous Patient.

A wealthy man. we'll known for his
extreme stinginess. drove up hurriedly
In his carriage to the door Of a cele-
brated doctor. He was in a state Of
acute discomfort and fear, from the
simple fact that at the moment a
piece Of fish bone was sticking some
where in the region of his throat. The
doctor removed the dangerous obsta-
Gle, and the gentleman breathed
freely.
Thank you. doctori" he exclaimed,
much relieved. "rll never eat salmon
again-never! And with what ease
you removed 1t A mere minutes op-
Grafton, was 1t not? How much-a-
what Is your fee?"
Half guinea" replied the doctor.
Half a guinea!" exclaimed the man.
For half a minutes work? Impos-
sible!"
"But-consider for a moment" said
the doctor. Its a salmon .bone!"
What has that to do with it?"
"Oh, a great DEAL" replied the doc
tor. Had 1t been a halibut, or fresh
haddock, I should have charged less
perhaps 5 shillings. For Goldfish or
eels, 2-and-6 would have been ample
payment. Mackerel shililngs. While
a red herring bone l might even have
removed free of charge. But salmon!
Well, really. sir. one has to pay for
these luxuries"

the fee according to the pocket of

Gazette, is almost as old as history.
