Tho Country Editor. - Everybody
has written about the trials and tri-
bulations of a, country editor, but no.
body has ever written about his joys.
He stands ahead Of the preacher,
the lawyer and the public speaker, be-
cause he never talks to empty benches,
but speaks in all the homes where his
paper goes. He never makes i'm
promptu speeches which generally
disgust the audience, but writes with
deliberation and premeditation. The
preachers influence for good seldom
reaches further than his congregation,
while the editors field for good reach
es all the congregations in the county.
The lawyer makes good speech in
the courthouse and only one or two
hundred persons hear him, but when
the editor writes a good editorial 1t is
copied in the various papers in the
state.
The editor distributes more flow
ers than florist and he asks nothing
in return for them but thanks. The
editor has an opportunity to do the
individual citizen a service, and he
never hesitates to do it if consistent
with his obligations to the public The
editor has the greatest opportunity. to
convert men and women to his way
of thinking; on all public questions he
thinks right. AS the lighthouse on
the shore warns the ships from the
rocks the editor can warn the public
from frauds and takers. The editor
has the greatest opportunity to pro-
.tect society from evil by standing for
the law and creating public sentiment
for it.
The editor never tires of boosting
his town and county, and if both do
not grow it is not his fault. He helps
the deserving young men with words
of commentator and restrains the
old by words of warning. His field of
usefulness is broader than any one
else in the community and if he does
not get any returns for his efforts for
settlement he has a sufficient reward
in seeing things get better. He re-
ioices in his opportunity for service to
his fellowman, his town and his coun-
try, and goes on his way rejoicing,
whether or not he gets any returns for
it.-Elizabethtown News.

Romance Of the Two Little Moth Balls

Romance Of the Two Little Moth Balls
ONCE upon a time, dear children,
~ there were two little mothballs
who loved each other severely. One was
. little girl mothball, named frankie.
The little boy mothball was named
Johnny. (By the way, Johnny, get off
the piano.)
Frankie and Johnny first met in the
pocket of a big overcoat which hung in
dark closet. But the two little moth
balls being white could see each other
quite plainly in spite of the darkness.
and IT was a case of love at frsE sight.
They nestled in corner Of the pocket
and their love- making was a beautiful
thing to see, even IL nobody did see.
And one day or one night-they never
knew which IL was--Johnny proposed
and frankie accepted him, and they
were married and set ND housekeeping
In the other corner of the pocket. (Dor-
othy, would you just ms soon get off
the baby's stomach? I thank you, for
both Of us.)
One day or one night---it makes no
difference which--a small hand was in
serted In the pocket where frankie and
Johnny were keeping house. And when
1t was withdrawn another girl mothball
was left lying there.

Hello, Johnny" said the strange
mothball.
"Do you know her?'' cried frankie.
'Yes, l know her." replied Johnny.
Hello there, Nellie" he said.
And he went over and began talking
to Nellie.
ooh" said frankie, ooh, oh: oh,
Johnny don't love me any more. wat
tie do, waffle / do" =
And she began running around In
circles, which was very easy Tor her
because of her shape. But. unfortu-
nately. once she got started rolling
around this pocket she couldn't stop
herself. And then Johnny started run
ming after her. begging her to stop.
And then Nellie started running after
Johnny. and begging him to stop: The
first thing you know all three OF them
were rolling around in a circle. going
like mad. And none Of them could stop.
So, since they couldn't stop, they de-
cided they might as well keep on roll
ing, which they did, getting smaller
and smaller and smaller, until finally
they were all gone. And that was the
end Of the three mothballs, named
frankie and Johnny and Nellie. And
that's the end OF the story. And that
will be about enough of you, dear chill
drcn.

motherly touch about the clay "cuddy"
that would give it an air of decency no

While Dean Johnson would rather
see girl smoke a pipe than a cigarette
there are other deans at New York Uni

no telling what the sequel may be.
While pipes for women seems a star

1T is only a reversion to the habits
OF the past. When tobacco first reached
England it was freely used by both
sexes. In the seventeenth century it
was not only usual for women to Join
men in smoking, but the children were
sent to schools with pipes in their
satchels, and the schoolmaster called a
halt in their studies while they all
smoked. To this day women smoke
