HER BORE ExPELLER


Miss Isabella Gundernan was an all
right. allaround kind OF girl. She
didn't have to prove this, for she ad-
mitted H. SO also did the maic- por-
ton OF the masculine persuasion of
Monroe Corners.
Miss Gunderman had a good many
ideas of her own She had strong con-
yictions on Just the Kind OF man
that she preferred In Miss Isabella
Gunderman's house, In the parlor,
there was large. old-fashioned hair
sofa Every night when she was at
home she occupied one corner OF It,
and II by nine o'clock at night the par
ticular caller who might be present did
not also occupy some portion of that
sofa he was not the kind of man that
Miss Isabella Gunderman was looking
for.
One OF the most interesting young
men In Monroe Corners-according to
his own standard of taste-was Mr..
William RoIlpiller. Mr.. Rollplller was

pet theories was that he and Miss Isa-
bella Gunderman were literally made
for each other. Upon the evening in
question he called upon Miss Isabella
Gunderman. That Miss Gunderman
held views Of q somewhat different ma
ture was evidenced by the fact that at
nine o'clock--and, in fact, during the
entire evening-she was alone upon
the sofa. Mr. Rollpiller sat upon a
patent rocking chair and talked to the
musical accompaniment thereof. He
was not fluent talker, but he consid-
ered that everything he said carried
much weight with IT. Miss Isabella
felt the weight dragging down her eye
lids and she yawned conspicuously sew
eral times. and as consplcuously made
an effort to conceal that fact At ten
o'clock Mr.. Rollpiller was still talking
He was holding forth upon his own
abilities and the grandeur of his ideas.
II was at this iuncture that a peculiar
sound was heard. Mr. Rollpiller
stopped and looked upward toward the

of the harm they may do it is not wise
and it is most unkind to make remarks
that may be repeated and easily ex-
aggerated to the injury of others.
Even if they have faults, it does no
good to spread the fact abroad.
How often it happens that someone
who is offended will 90 about making
damaging and ill-natured statements,
accusing the person against whom ne
holds ill-feehng of many things that
are not true. To an offended person
imagination will clothe another in all
sorts of mean garments. And thought
less persons who hear and there
are thoughtless people everywhere :
will carry the story to others, chang
ing and adding until the offense is a
tremendous thing and all the neighbor-
hood is talking.
We should weigh our words when
we speak of others. We should not
say of them what we would not say to
them. And we should remember to
speak well Of all when possible. For
speaking is worth far more than con-
demning. Milwaukee Journal.

Walking down one of our streets
this week, an incident thrust itself
upon me that forces me to write
upon the subject of Christmas Civ
ing.
You may well guess what the in
cident was-the gaze of poor lit
tie Mexican "Chappo" into a store
Window little fellow whose
Christmas isn't going to be much
unless some of u public spirited,
generous-hearted citizens make it
so. And of course, this one child
will not be alone in his disappoint-
ment on the day when every child
should be happy.
/ wonder how many who read this
article could be induced to spread
a little Christmas cheer outside of
their home this year. There are
those in our city who need help,
out whose admirable pride will
prevent them asking for it. It is
these people we should help to
make happy. Why not let us con-
slider them a moment? If you will
reflect for that brief period of
time you will think of some little
boy or girl, or perhaps an older
person whose Christmas Day would
be dreary to you at best, but who
can be made happy in their own
unfortunate condition if we will
send them some gift.
It may be that the pride of some
of these people, or our own timidity
will make personal presentation of
gifts undesirable. In that event,
use the mails. Wrap your present
securely and mark it From a
Friend"
There is plenty of room for
Good Fellows" here at home. Let's
be such.

Discovered The Reason

To the Western Liberal:
The writer having been a peace
officer in the early COS and saw
much crime and many depredations
in the several years that l was an
officer, l have had quite a little ex-
perience running down criminals
and l have been figuring the cause
for so many fires during the past
few days, and believe that l have
solved the problem.
l have been told that at the last
three fires a lady has tainted and
fortunately for these ladies, our eff
icient editor-in-chief was there to
catch them and prevent accidents,
very much to the delight of Mr..
Bush.

THE EDITORS CHRISTMAS

Fifty-two weeks in the year the
editor of a newspaper is a machine,
grinding out news for his readers.
He has no regular working hours.
News is news and his standard
is that the news belongs to his pa
irons. He works when there is work
to be done, which means that he
works all the time. His mission in
life is to boost along his fellow man
and business in general of his home
and nearby towns. This he does
conscientiously and to the best of
his ability, sticking to it from
morning until night every day in
the week and ffty-two weeks in
the year.
The great majority of the edit
or's subscriptions, too, expire about
this time of the year, either in De-
cember or the first of January. He
looks forward to this seaso as his
harvest-the time when he will be
rewarded for his years labor.
If you, dear readers, are one
whose subscription has expired or
is about to expire, send us your re-
newal, now. /. is due us; we have
earned it, and you will feel all the
better for starting out on a new
year with your paper paid ahead.
