Printed Letter Heads.

When 1 get letter from a farmer
written in ink on a printed letter
head, assume at once that here
is a reading man and an intelligent
farmer, and much the contrary is the
impression when I get letter scraw<
led in pale pencil on dark poor paper
which makes it hard for old eyes to
read. Then another advantage in
the printed letter head. especially
when the letter is from business
man, Is that many Of these business
men make their signature in the most
complex manner. and but for the
printed name at tn top l could hardly
know to whom to send the reply
One can guess at good deal in any
ones letter. but cannot guess at a
signature. that is unreadable.-W. F.

GIVE RENTERS AND TENANTS
FRIENDLY WELCOME

December is a month that brings
into ~Ine average southern nelghpor-
hood a number of new families
ters who have moved into the COM
munity from elsewhere. 1t is in be-
half of these renters and their faml-
lies-strangers within your gates
that We wish to speak a word. In
Gods name do something to give
them a welcome 1t is indeed unchiv-
alrous and unaChristian to hold aloof
from them One OF the first com
mands the Almighty gave His people
after bringing them out Of Egypt was
to this effect: But the stranger that
dwelletn with You shall be as one
born among you, and thou shalt love
him as thyself." And again: Love
We therefore the stranger; for ye were
strangers in the land of Egypt" More
over, in the parable of the Last Juds-
ment Christ Himself declares that
ministering to the stranger will be
one of the requirements for the souls
rentranoe into Paradise. It is indeed
not much credit to you that you are
bospitable to well-to-do people or peo-
pie OF your class. 1t is hospitality to
the friendless, or to the poor who
cannot repay you, that really en-
riches the soul.-The Progressive

Some Errors of Types.

A popular and prominent man Ill
England was once called upon to ad-
dress an assem- blage, which greesec
him enthusiastically and with cheers.
The newspaper wnlcn reported the
meeting said innocently: THE vast
concourse rent the air with snouts.
A MS, read as follows: "All these
facts are really worth noting" Thc
printer, however, inserted an "h' in
to the last word, and it was thus Sc.
up: "All these facts are really worth
nothing"
"A provincial paper, in reporting the
speech of a celebrated politician, in-
tended to add as comment, and the
masses believed him. instead OF
which, by a typographical error, the
addition read, "and the asses belieV-
ed him.
An enthusiastic editor wrote, The
battle is now opened" But. alas; the
compositor spelled battle with an 20,
and his readers said they had suo-
pected it all along.
A New York editor wrote an obitu-
ary of man of some prominence ana
among other things he said: "He be
gan life as legal practitioner, but
was diverted from it by love OF bit
ters."
Rev. Dr. Todd was given some relics
to present to museum. In his
speech he alluded to the elves OF the
saints" when his remarks We're pub
lished they came out "lies of the
saints" and this so enraged the givar
of the relics that he demanded their
return.
An instance Of faithful effort to
follow copy occurred in New York
newspaper Office. The reporter, VINO
wrote a very bad vertical hand, put
it down that zigzag flashes of light
ming played among the clouds. and
in the proof it came out that "319,-
009 flashes" played among the clouds.
