putx of Charitable.

We give most worthily when we as- sume the worthy use of our gifts. The idle fiinging of @ coin to an un- deserving beggar is not true benevo- lence; it is 8 cheap and easy way of buying relief to our own feelings. So to give to any cause which does not wisely and economically expend its receipts is foolish charity. In word, 1t is as much part of a giver's duty to examine financial reports as it Is to read appeals for aid.

Some time later a conductor tipped the reporter off: See Alphie, he's when Motorman Lewis came to State street the news monger swung on the fore platform and asked. Who's dead, Alphie ?''
 "Nobody,. but old One Sixty-six is gone" said the motorman.
 But, who's One Sixty y-six ?'
 "Oh! She's my old car. She burned up at Thamesviile in the night Had just been rattaned and was to be painted before I got her back. Poor old gal; she was a good old car, too."

Alex C. Hull At Point of Death.

Harrison, Jan. 9.-FolloWlng an attack of cerebral congestion, from which he dropped sudden ly while saving wood shortly be- fore 12 o'clock today. Alex C. Hull, former secretary of state and editor of the North Arkan- sas Herald at Harrison, has been unconscious at his home all the afternoon and no hope is ex- pressed for his recovery by Dr. J. J. Johnson, his physician, or by his family.
 Mir. Hull has been in usual health and was busy at his desk before noon and walked to his home, three blocks from his of- flee. He has been accustomed to saw wood before dinner each day for exercise. His wife was in a room near where Mir. Hull worked and heard his fall. Neighbors and passersby were called in. Since the arrival of the doctor immediately after ward, efforts to revive the stricken man have been contin- ued until tonight. There seems to be no change in MT. Hulps condition and it is believed he will not live until morning.
 Alex c. Hull was elected secre- tary of state in 1896 from Harri- son, where he edited the Boone Banner. After the expiration of his term, he moved to Oklahoma, quitting political life. He re- turned to Harrison about two years ago and entered the insur- ance and loan business. He re- gently organized a company to publish a daily paper here and the Herald is the result.

Injustice of Rumors.

More than one innocent man and woman have been helplessly injured by rumors set afloat by careless tongues. Rumors are, as a rule, messengers of defama- tion. Such rumors gather as they roll, and whenever a rumor of this character is repeated something is usually added to it. "On rumor's tongues continual islanders ride"
 A person should be very care full how they talk. Sometimes a charge is heedlessly made. Mo- thing serious is intended, but someone overhears the remark, and, accepting it seriously, sets in circulation a report which car- ries with it ruin.
 There is always danger of do- ing serious injustice through idle gossip. Mems regulations are ruined and a woman's char acter is always in peril when the gossips of her neighborhood be- gin to talk.
 A pitiful case is attracting at- tention at present in Philadel- phia. A young girl of uni1n- peachable character incurred the i'll will of some one in her neigh borhood. From time to time letters were posted to various other neighbors insiduously al- leging certain immoral misdo- ings, and the tongue of rumor began to wag. One by one the young girls friends dropped away. Finally learning the rea- son why, in sheer desperation, the girl killed herself.
 Now that the truth is known the former friends are on the warpath looking for the mis- creant who circulated the rumor. It is too late to bring the unfor- tunate girl back to life and con- science, if such a thing is pos- sessed by the nameless writer, will work a relentless revenge.
 Men are too frequently charg- ed by rumors with offenses they have never committed. No guilty man should escape, and the community is always willing to mete out punishment to those who deserve it, but the in- nocent should not suffer because of groundless rumors. There are always some interruptions people who are willing to use the slightest incident to discredit personal and political enemies. Manifestly it is criminal to cir culate untruths about innocent men and women. A person inn puted by rumor to be involved in a scandal has no defense. He is
