The Measure of a Man.

It's no place to measure the soul of a
 man Out here in the markets of Malice
 and Greed, Where men live the slogan Survive
 if you can" And hear not the cries of the
 weaker-or heed; It's no place to measure the soul of Il
 man Where Etrifc lives to stifle each
 l<indlier deed. It's no time to measure the heart of
 man When drums beat to arms and he
 answers the call, And goes forth to battle to slay if he can, And gloat Der the sorrows of oth-
 CTS, who fall! It's no time to measure the heart of
 a man With duty and valor 'ershadowing all. It's no time to measure to faith of a When darkness abounds and the terrors prevail- w c mOrtaIS are happy tO pcllCNS IL
 we can, But Doubt is giant and humans are frail; It's no time to measure the faith of a man When doubt ees high and the strongest will quail. Be just to your brother and measure
 him we'll Not out In markets of Greed and
 of Woe, But there in the home, in the twi- lighted spell, With children and wife, meath the lamps mellow glow, Where all of his virtues and quail ties tell Where if he's a man. all his man hood will show. John D. Wells In the Buffalo News

No Poker for China.
(Waterbury Democrat )

An edict against poker has been promulgated in China. The great American game is banned on the ground that it is likely to upset the morals of the ChincSe.' This will seem 10 many American citizens q bitter blow, coming from the "hcath- en Chncc" who is. of all mon living, the most natural and invcterate e gambler. and who has never been re-
 garded in America as exemplifying 9
 particularly high standard of morals anyhow. TO find that China still per
 mits her native fan tan, while barring
 what New York judge recently do
 fended, as "a gentlemans game of chance''--it is too much. No doubt,
 though, the Chinese government is serious about it. And in the matter of moral reform it has some really notable achievements to it's credit. ample. Our own state and national governments are now trying to re strict and regulate the use of opium and it's products in this country, with a view to it's abOlition except for strictly medical purposes. China beat
 us to that reform by many years. And as if to rub ii in. ShC has been com pIaining that as she eliminates opium we are undoing her hcneficent work by deluging China with American cigarettes What can you do with country that takes it's reforms so ser iously as that?

 This is a bull. The bull is a male ruminant specifically, a he COW. The bull is historical animal He has been worshipped in Egypt, thrown in the cattle country, fought in Mexico and Spain and canned in Chicago The Egyptians called him Apis and built temples to him, but bull wor- ship was not profitable business, as all the Egyptians who followed the bull are either dust or mummies and have been so for centuries On the other hand, canning the bull has made a flock of millionares so the live ones everywhere have adopted the Western idea and pretty generally can the bull.

SOME SHOP TALK.

We stated some time ago that our
force was small, and if the advertisers
would give US the copy for the ads
in advance of the day of publication
we could handle them with greater
ease and more efficiently. Some of
them have done so, but we know it is
difficult to get out of the old habits,
and generally the copy for ads comes
in the day of publication. We do the
best with it We can but it generally
makes us late in going to press and
difficult at times to make the mails.
Especially is that true now since our
mailing list has been so materially in
creased. And then we never know
Just how to arrange the forms so as
to care properly for the copy that
should go, and at the same time take
care of the ads With the large in
crease in the circulation we have to
go to press with the first side so much
sooner in order to get it off the press
for the last side. it being necessary
with our press to print one side at
the time. We like to accommodate
our patrons and we like to please them
and we want to handle all the ads we
can because we need them to make eX-
penses.
We mention this in this connection
to explain the holding over frequently
of matter that should appear in the
paper and frequently the leaving out
of ads that should run. For the last
issue for instance we had a good deal
of real live news matter in type that
We should have printed and would
have but for the ads and if some OF
these ads had come in sooner we coulo
have arranged the first side so as 10
have carried more live matter. When
we came to the Office on Thursday
morning it looked that We were not
going to have a page of ads but by
the time we went to press we had
more than we could handle and near
" two columns were crowded out. We
don't like to do this, but We are due
the subscriber a certain amount OF
news matter.
And then it entails more or less OF
rush to handle the matter and that
means more or less of mistakes. For
instance we had an ad Of "Coopers $
original spring needle underwear"
which was meant to have the name
of J. H. Summer and Company under
if as the dealers in Newberry but
no name appeared. But for the rush
we could have handled this In the
proper manner and we take this meth
cd of saying that this underwear IS
sold in Newberry by ]. H. Summer and
Company and if you are interested we
invite YOU to visit their big clothing
store on the corner where you VIII
receive the best and most courteous
attention. This ad was furnished IN
ample time.
The bank statements had to be nHH'
died and we had to run two of them
as we'll as a land sale on the first
page and had to do it by taking out
live news matter.
AS stated we are only talking this
shop here to assure our patrons
that we appreciate their business and
will do the best we can with it and
that a little cooperation on their part
would be of great assistance to US
