GIVE THE POOR DEVIL
A SQUARE DEAL,

A SQUARE DEAL.
He may not be willing to give yoI
a square deal, but no matter. Re
member that he is just poor devil
er + of courtesy a {
intelligence.
When the poor devil '1ickers up.
the whole town knows about it.
when he carries home sack OF
flour, it is not noticed. Give him
his due. If it is right that he
should be condemned for his jag,
it is right also that he should be
praised for buying that sack of
flour.
Someone suggests that it was the
poor DEVILS wife who earned the
money to pay for the -four; and the
grocer wants to know what made US
think it was paid for. Gentlemen,
such reflections disturb the even
course of my meditationsi But this
l do know: the poor devil is not as
bad as he might be. Possibly his
wife did earn the money to pay for
that sack of flour, but he carried it
home-I saw him do it. / can inn
agine a man so good-for-nothing
that he would refuse to carry home
the sack of -four after his wife had
paid for it.
The newspapers are responsible
for making us think the world is
worse than it really is. OF course,
it really is bad-theres no getting
around that. But the newspapers
always tell us about the things that
ARE in a mess, because we are in
terested in them; and usually tn ~
don't tell us a word about whatever
is going along smoothly.
When the miners back in my ma
tive state OF West Virginia get rileG
up and come out decorated with war
paint, the front-page headlines tell
US about the fightings and killings:
but when these same men are work
ing underground day by day, Ia
peace, we don toften read about it
Thousands of passenger trains
have gone from Ogden to Salt Lake
and their passengers have not been
robbed by bandits; and the newspa
pers said not a wordabout it. But
when the exceptional event occurs.
you read the big headline: 80 Ban
dts Rob Passengers on Limited
Train"
There are Irishmen who keep the
peace-the big dailies ignore them;
but when the Belfast riots break
afresh, all the metropolitan newspa
pers publish the death lists.
There really are thousands OF
men and women who have been
married ten years and who are still
living together; but does their for
itude win them notoriety in the
,ress? Never. Who ever saw a
headline like this: "Man and Wife
Married Ten Years-Still on Speak
ng Terms Bnt as soon as the
man or the woman Institutes divorce

not more SOL
Why do the newspapers confine
themselves so largely to the scan
daliferous side of happenings? Il
is because the reader demands lust
that kind of news. He doesn't want
10 read about things that are per
fectly good and lovely.
But right here must intercede in l
behalf of the reader He likes % ,

himself, but because

Bill Dale LAUGHS.

Bin Dale sat thinking OF what he
had done there In the Big Pine coun'
try. From the stone-and-clay chin
neys OF the cabins Of the Llttlefords on
the other side of the river the bowling
wind snatched sprays Of blue wood
smoke. The Morelands had gone to
farms lying around Gainesville IN the
lowland, on each OF which falr-sized
FIRST payment had been made. the Dor
rowed capital WAS 10 remain borrowed
for another year. The Morelands were
already losing their Outlandlshness
and growing into universal respect.
David Moreland's dream was ~ last
being realized.
Then Dale frowned heavily. II only
he could do as much for Babes peo-
pie But lie couldn't. The men OF the
Lttlefords still worked the coal mine.
They received almost twice the custom
AIRY wages. but even that wouldn't buy
them farms and educate their children.
Under his eyes lay two unanswered
letters from his parents. He found
little pleasure In answering their let
tiers. for he was stlll somewhat bitter
toward them-tOward his father be-
cause OF his fathers III treatment OF
David Moreland and David Morelands
people toward his mother because she
had let him go hungry for mother-love
as baby, as child, AS boy, and as
q man. toward them both because he
lad been reared do-nothing.
The door opened suddenly, and BY
Heck came stamping ia with a gust Of
cold air at his back. lie carried in
one hand the mail satchel In the other
was his ever-present rife. After throw
ing the satchel ~ the floor at Dale's
feet. he turned to the glowing wood
stove.

took the entire output Of the mine n,

tor two or three minutes. then he sat
down ut his desk and dashed of a let

watched his god with thoughtful eyes.
