THE COUNTRY
NEWSPAPER

Ernest c. Foster, who has played the
newspaper game in all its phases-from
devil In country shop to responsible
positions on large city papers, and who
now is editor for newspaper syndicate
to which The Charlevoix County Herald
belongs, has given usa couple Of
special articles on country and metro
politan papers. Following is his article
on the Country Paper"
All that is required to run country
newspaper is some kind of printing
press, little type, and lot of credit.
With this equipment, II is almost as
easy 10 run country paper as it is to
carry away song book that belongs to
the church. When anyone thinks he
has the ability to extract living from
one these obstinate promises all he
needs to do is open an office and the
citizens with whom he has cast his lot
will gladly tell how best to conduct his
business. If he listens, apparently in
terested, to all of them, heeds none,
eats little and wears less, he may sue
ceed.
A country newspaper develops a
wonderfully discerning mind for its
publisher He soon learns to tell just
what his callers want the minute they
step into his office. A station agent
may merely stick his head into coun-
try newspaper office, say hello and the
the publisher knows he has shipment
of paper at the depot and bill of lad
ing at the bank. If minister calls, the
country publisher knows preaching
services are to be held as usual next
Sunday, and that it will be alright for
him to mention them in his paper. A
woman visitor to the countay news
paper office means a social is to be
given soon, and that the publisher is to
have the honor of making the first do
nation in the form of an advertisement
in the paper and two dollars worth of
hand-bils. Bankers, too, take up a
great deal of the country publishers
time in explaining sight drafts in which
the publisher is not at all interested.
Two things the country publisher has
never been able to figure out is, just
what other people do with all the
money he pays them and if the devil is
going to be capable of taking care of all
the people headed his way.
The country paper is made the target
for great deal of raillery from its
readers, but the publisher always
knows that the fellow who ridicules it
most is the farthest in arrears with his
subscription and who creates the great
est furore If he misses copy. Some
times country publisher determines
he will make his paper interesting,
even though it may be uncongenial.
But such change of policy nearly al
ways deprives the town of a paper.
The widow is forced to sell the office to
pay her husbands funeral expenses
and the new proprietor seeks more
civilized community,

SEEN IN A CEMETERY

Take walk through the cemetery
alone and you will pass the resting
place of man who looked into the
muzzle of gun to see if it was loaded.
A little farther down the slope Is a
crank who tried to show how close he
stand to moving train while it passed
In strolling about you will see the mon
ument of the hired girl who tried to
light the fire with kerosene, and a
grass-covered knoll that covers the boy
who tickled the mules tail. That tall
shaft over a man who blew out the gas
casts shadow over the boy who tried
to get on moving train. Side by side
the pretty creature who always had
her corset laced on the last hole, and
the intelligent idiot who rode bicycle
nine miles in ten minutes, sleep un-
molested. At repose is doctor who
took a dose Of his own medicine.
There with the top of shoe box driv-
en- over his head is rich old man who
married young wife. Away over
there repoSes boy who went fishing
on Sunday, and the woman who kept
strychnine powders in the cupboard.
The man who stood in front of the
moving machine to oil the sickle is
quiet now and rests beside the careles
brakeman who fed himsel to the 70-ton
engine, and nearby may be seen the
grave of the man who tried to whip the
editor.

In the Sweet Bye and Bye.

In about 1885, when we shall have
made our stake and can print a paper
just as we please, our items will be
more interesting. For instance:
Our readers will be sorry TO hear that
Mrs. Cab is improving in health.
Dan Labernot will now probably be-
come county charge, his wife having
died last week.
No, we haven't bought our auto, yet.
When we own a car we want to be able
to pass anyone we choose without him
feeling that he has an interest in it.
Mrs. Thrift informs us that one of
her chickens is disappearing every
week, and that she cannot account for
it. AL Idle told us yesterday that he
had eaten fried chicken every Sunday
for month.
Patched pants and soleless shoes con-
tinue to look better to Ike Lofer than a
days work. Ike says the world owes
him living, and he apparently thinks
his wife has great deal to do with the
obligation.
Bill Kredit says he doesn't blame any
one for not going to church and sitting
for an hour and half in hard pew.
Bills sense of feeling in that part of his
anatomy must be keen to distinguish
the church seats from his favorite loaf
ing spot uptown.

HOW TO BE DIFFERENT
Miss Pearson Gives Advice to
Girls Who Seek Individuality.

Miss Margery Pearson who plays the
eccentric role of Nine. Gimbelette in Tine
Midnight Girl" at the Forty-fourth street
Theatre, has some unique ideas, and she
has written the following advice, adj
dressed Ito the girl who wants to be Diff
ferent":
THE keynote is simplicity. In wearing
anything eccentric or different do not
change your personality to suit the new
dress. but make the dress suit your own
individuality. There is no need Of excess
sive make-up-in wearing the colored wig,
for example. Purple powders are good for
salesman who sells purple powders, but
| am selling natures goods. The woman
of to-day tries too hard. She makes too
much of an effort to be beautiful and
original. Be natural and you will be diff
ferent. If you are pale suit your style to
the pale woman. Wear greens, lavenders,
yellows, but nothing heavy or startling.
Carry out your own personality in neu-
trail tints. The girl with the vivid color
ing should follow the opposite part Of her
pale sister.
ITO go back to my green hair which I
wear in The Midnight Girl Contrasts
are not good. Wear a green frock with a
green couture, and red frock with a
red coiffure, blue with blue, etc, and If
YOU want to make up just wee little bit
don't try TO cover yol bad points, but
bring them out, ard VI 1 Will not only be
different, but beautiful

to agree that the ideal thing would be a
job in q clothing house in Cleveland SO
Barney went to Cleveland and became a
salesman in a clothing house.
He was such a good salesman he got
SIS a week every week. He sold a lot of
stuff, most Of it at a profit. He was per-
mitted to stay in that job for three years.
That is, he permitted it. At the end Of
three years he went into a barber shop
to nestle close to a shave The barber,
breaking a long silence. asked Barney
what occasioned the remarkable perform

"T'm going to New York to join Fred
Twins burlesque show" said Barney.
So as he had given his word that he
was going TO New York, ne had TO go.
He got a leave of absence from the cloth

He applied for job at the booking Of
