Like Little Drops
of Water

WHAT HAPPENS when you read stupid things?
Victor Hugo wrote that people could not read
stupidites with impunity.
He who lives diet of exaggeration false
reasoning cant, mobidnes any other stupidity
pays the price in diluted character.
To be truly great newspaper must present the
worlds clearly mpartialy accurately and
fully possible.
1t is not possible to print everything about any
thing something about everything Time and
space do not permit.
Therefore the two greatest responsibilities the
newspaper faces are first, the daily selection of
according to its value and second the pres
entation of that news
If newspaper faces squarey these responsibilities
of selection and presentation of news it has its
reward 1t is read by people who intend to avoid
stupidites and the impoverishment of their minds

CORNWALL LAND OF FAIRIES
People of That English County Firmly Believe in Existence of the
 "LittIe People"

A Cornish handbook recently pub liShed mentions that there are five distinct varieties of fairies in Corn wall and enumerates them as follows:
 The Small People" who were sup posed to be the pre-Christian inhab- itants; these are gradually fading away.
 The "Spriggans," attached to cairns, cromIechs and other ancient monu- ments, with which it was unlucky to meddle.
 The "Piskies," full of mischief and finding great joy in leading mOrtals astray.
 The "Buccas," spirits of the mines, associated in local legend with men from the East, doomed to work under ground until the Resurrection.
 The "Brownies,'' kindly and good, the spirits of the household, ever ready to do what they could to assist man. kind.
 There are numerous legends of the adventures of mortals with these fairies and only a few years ago men returning from Redruth, Truro, Penz- ance and some other market town would turn their coats inside out be- fore venturing to cross the wild moors or downs, in order to guard against heinz led away by the Piskies.
 Once a miner, working in one of the levels, heard his name called dis tinctly. He was afraid to follow the voice and went on with his work. His name was called again and this time more vehemently. The miner threw down his hammer and went to investi- gate. Almost immediately 8 mass of rock fell on the spot where he had been working. The warning had saved his life.
 The Buccas or Knockers were so feared at one time that people who had to pass 8 disused mine after dark took special precautions to prevent their presence being known.

Only Eat Girls in Hi. Office

Variation in Opinion.

One woman was telling another about a birthday gift she had just given her husband, and how she had saved for weeks from her house money to get it. The other woman was shocked:
 "N'hy, Nellie, how could you! wouldn't dream of giving my husband 8 present out of his own money. earned every cent for his Christmas gift, made kimonos and dressing sacks for some friends.
 And a man, who was near enough to overhear, said to his companion
 If had a wife like that, I'd frame her"
 T wouldn't want her at any price. She's too good to he true. My old girl cheats me out of every cent she can lay her hands on. I'm used to 1t. It's one of the rules of the ring. Wouldn't want her to be different"

Shaeklataa,a Last Letter.

No death of recent years has touched the public with greater sadnesk than that of Sir Ernest ShackIeton. In this poignant tragedy, remarks the London Times, there is a deep sense of per sonal loss. ShackletOn touched the national imagination; his vivid per sonality won all hearts. As MT. John Quiller ROwett, who was mainly re- spOnsible for financing the Quest ex- petition, says, "ShackletOn was such q generous gOul-ideaEstic, impulsive, ready to help anybody in trouble. His last letter to me, dated from Rio de JaneirO, where the Quest was refitting, on December IS last, gives a glimpse of the soul of this great BritOn. Here Is his letter:
 "S. Y. Quest, Rio, Dec. IS, 1S21.- My Dear John: One hundred and ten degrees in the shade! All the work is done and we are going. The next you will hear will be, please God, success. Should anything happen in the ice. it will have nothing to do with anything wrong with the ship. The ship is all right.
 "Never for me the lowered banner,
 Never the lost endeavOr.
 "Your friend, ERNEST"

Frankincense a Tree Product.

In Bible times and long before. the aromatic gum known as frankincense was highly esteemed as d perfume and medicine. akin to myrrh and balm Of Gilead. It was much used in cen Sers in churches and temples and was also used for anointing the bodies of both living and dead. It was re- garded as valuable remedy for fev- CTS, boiIs and other diseases and as an antidOte for poisoning. as a seda- tive, tonic and a stimuant. The ancients obtained frankincense from several species Of gum-producing plants, particularly a certain tree in- digenOus to eastern Africa and south ern Arabia. limitations are sometimes made nowadays from resins obtained rom turpentine hines.
