She Was Prepared.

Coroner Gordon Norton, Of Freeport,
was talking to a New York reporter
about the Carman case.
Great skill has been displayed in this
case" the young coroner ended. I'm
canny skill, l might almost say. Skill
which reminds me of the young lady at
Coney.
"A young lady met a young gentle
man at Coney, and they took a bath,
and a long walk on the beach. and then
they sat down side by side on the white,
clean sand.
The spot was a lonely one, and the
young man began to talk of love. He
drew nearer and nearer to the young
lady. Finally he reached out his arm
to encircle her waist.
But she drew back sharply, and at
the same time she took pair of large
white cotton gloves from her handbag.

are tri-colors. and to English eyes all
tri-colors look more or less alike. In
fact, nearly every national flag in Eu-

NEWSPAPERS.

Strickland Gillian in the Chicago
Evening Post: Newspapers have much
to learn in the matter of accuracy,
So have the people who read them
perhaps out of ten newspaper reports
OF an affair, one will be exactly right,
But out of the several thousand people
who read the story perhaps five will
read it as 1t is printed.
Send twelve newspaper kickers TO see
the same event and have them tell you
about it. You will have as wide or a
wider variety of tales than you would
in thousand papers.
Superintendent of big enterprises
have far less trouble getting under Off
GERS who can send out competent and
intelligent orders than they have in
finding employees with sense enough
to understand a sentence of plain
English, either in print or by word Of
mouth.
A newspaper is merely great big
composite Individual 1t is stronger
than any one person. and is usually
mercjful and kind, as are all truly
strong people. When newspaper has
chance (and it has a thousand such
every day) to say truthfully and safely
a word that would blacken somebody's
career for the rest OF his life and
render useless his efforts to retrieve q
mistake. the newspaper does not do
so unless 1t comes squarely In Its line
Of duty to the public.
If people who blat around about the
"unscrupulousness" of newspapers
could get behind the scenes while and
see the barrels and tanks of mercy used
every day and every night in dealing
with the events and people Of COM
munity they would apologize instead Of
roasting.
Suppose the newspaper, instead OF
saying the kind and encouraging thing
about your vocaIly ambitions hut fear
fully squawky, daughter or son, We're
to tell the truth? In such cases you
would far rather the paper be truth
less than ruthless.
Newspapers will ever mark the trend
of the times, always walking a bit in
advance.

there are $50 expert motorcycles eager

that is generally done by lads OF 10

What of the faith and fire within us,
Men who march away.
Ere the barncocks say
Night is growing gray.
To hazards whence no tears can Win
us:
What of the faith and fire within us.
Men who march away?
Is it purblind prank, o think you,
Friend with the musing eye,
Who watch us stepping by
With doubts and dolorous sigh?
Can much pondering so hoodwink
you?
Is it purblind prank, I think you,
Friend with the musing eye?
Nay, we see we'll what we are doing,
Tho some may not see
Dalliers as they may be
England's need are We;
Her distress would set us rueing;
Nay, we see we'll what we are doing,
Tho some may not see.
In our heart Of hearts believing
Victory crowns the just,
And that braggarts must
Surely bite the dust,
March we to the field ungrieving;
In our heart of hearts believing
Victory crowns the just.
Hence the faith and fire within US,

Ere the barncOcks say

To hazards whence no tears can win
