MISSION OF THE NEWSPAPER.

Many people seem to mistake the
mission of the newspaper. It's a bus
mess that men engage in for a living,
and as such to be treated. This be-
ing the case, there is no excuse for
it's being used as a vehicle for private
spleen, for riding a hobby by some
one, for promulgating the opinions
of any one but the editor, for dissem-
mating the views of politicians, for
selling their virtue before the public
or for making public items of news
that are intended to boost the trade
of individuals. No one else is called
on for so much as the newspaper
man. He is expected to give public
ity to everything, whether of interest
to the public or not; he is expected
to build up an interest in the schools,
the churches, the road improvements,
the making of better crops, to make
popular the views of politicians,
boosting them because they ask it;
advertise their meetings as "pieces
of news" give a half column to aid
societies-things good in themselves
but the editor has to make a living
and it costs him on an average a
round silver dollar to get a column
of type in the newspaper with a mat
ter that cannot possibly bring him
an toto in cold cash.
Why should the newspaper man
make this sacrifice any more than
the merchant, the farmer, the black
smith, the mechanic, or any n else?
We readily give place to almost
all notices, but must draw the line
on matter that has no news value.

ENCOURAGEMENT

If you would step into some great
seat of Power and Plenty, some day,
just get into the Habit of Patting
people on the back-with a real Pat
of encouragement.
Give away your own Success.
There lis nothing in all the world SO
stimulating as to feel the thrill OF
Hope coloring the cheek of som fell
low to whom you have just given
the Grip of Grit.
Give away yclr own Success.
Even a Race Horse goes better
after a pat on the Nose. The Boot
Black gives you a better Polish if
you remember to Smile while he
shines. Half the wrecks of life are
strewn along the Gutter of Failure
for no other reason than this-starv-
ed for want of Encouragement.
Give away your own Success.
There are no Favored of Destiny
successes. The only Winners are the
Favored of announcement. The
Smile, the hearty Hand Clasp, the
Sterling Cheer-the cup of Crystal
Water-these are the things that
make Men, mould Commerce and
start to humming Cities and Nations.
If you like to Whistle, teach the art
to somebody else who doesn't know
how.
Give away your own Success.
And, by the way, it is the great
est Fun in all the world! The next
fellow to you right now, whoever you
are and wherever you are is just as
Human as you are. Turn your peck
cts of Encouragement inside out
Keep them empty by giving their
contents away-for they will always
be full.
Give away your own Success.

He is even pretty. Poets write about him.
but that may be no recommendation, for poets do
many strange things.
With all his good qualities, however, a sheep
remains sheep.
He lives plain sheep life going sheep-like as
he seems to think he was born to 90.
No sheep has ever tried TO become something
greater, higher, better than sheep He never
tries to take the place of a collie dog, or horse, or
COW, or camel, or steam engine, or man.
He is born, and he grows up (maybeD to

he dies BEFORE HIS TIME for others to EAT.
So while We may say that he is kable sort
