When reading the news of your local paper, do you ever pause to wonder about the untold half of the tale? If not, there try the plan you will be surprised to find out how much you are indebted to the editor, for what he refuses to pub lish, and how grateful you should be to those who speak of you sot saying all they might fay. For instance; notice an item whifih reads like this: "Mr. and Mrs. Dash have returned from So-and-8o and will locate in Pump- kinhollow." What is the real fact of the matter? Where the untold half put in print, the item might read thus; "Mr. Dash, tormented to death by a dissatisfied wife, has come to Pumpkinhollow." Acain: an item states that "On 0 account of the ill health of his father, James Greenhorn has been obliged to give up bis college career and return home." If the reporter had written the real item it might sound this way; "James Greenhorn has been fired from college on ac count of disgraceful conduct, and having no place else to go hascsme home." And so on, and so on. Instead of "roasting" 'he editor or reporter when a slight error gets Inside each pound package, of ion Goifco will be found a FREE game. 1,60 different games. All new. At Your Orocert. into print, just pau and breathe a prayer of thanksgiving that both editor and reporter have it n thn b'K generous hearts to lenve th untold half still untold, and believ us that although, a "half truth h worse than a lie, and a whole , truth in many cases would be a great deal worse than anything yet heard of.

The Bankers 'Association ol the United States have issued a form of money order that is to come in direct competition with the express companies and the post office monev orders. The new bank j orders are as safe as the older or ders, and much more convenient, besides being cheaper. Bank or ders for amounts of one dollar and under are issued for one cent, and sums of from one to five dollars will cost no more than two cents. These orders, while drawn on the great money centers, are payable at any bank, or by business men at any town or village. They are issued in any sum from five cents to fifty dollars. v 1 What Will the Harvest Be? Well may the question arise when one glances about at the hap penings on this mundane sphere. What will tae harvest be? Apro- pros of the query there comes to mind a pathetic incident of a few years ago. It happened in a city on this coast, and is a tale worth re peating because of the light it sheds upon the "other side" of life. She was a cripple, her body be ing lrightfully misshapen as a re sult of a severe fall when a small child. Blest with a keen intellect and the refinement of nature that usually accompanies it, this de formity became .to her, as years brought maturity of mind, a cross almost too heavy to be borne. Hours and days were spent in ago nized tears over this dreadful afflic tion; a naturally happy, boyant nature became saddened and mis erable with the utter hopelessness and despair that settled on the brave young heart. And then came a promise of re lief from a lamous physician, and the sore heart beat with hope, and the tearful eyes sparkled with a de sire to live. Bat the mother was poor. The best she could possibly was to raise fifty dollars for the necessary operation. "A hundred dollars in advance I do not lift a hand," said the treat doctor. It waa death to the child: untold aeony to the mother; hopelessness for both. or With prayers and tears the mother fogged for the great physi cian's assistance; with promises she beseech! him to come to her child's reliel; his reply was as be fore: "One hundred dollars in ad vance." That was several years ago. The wolf of joverty still guard the widow's door; the crippled child still grieve her hesrt away in hopeless tears of agony over her poor, misshapen body. The songs that once mad tie cottage home a place of cheer are hushed, and over mother and daughter there is a pall of sadness that only the sur geon's knife can remove. Verily, we ask, "What shall the harvest be?" When things like these occur in a civilized world where the Book is read and talked and preached, and where on it pages are emblazoned the decisive declaration "For inasmuch as ye do it unto one of these, my broth ers, ye do it unto me," we ask again, in the face of all these things, what shall the harvest be?

The flag to be used to drape Sacajawea's monument before its unveiling will go to Independence, Or., the town in which the Women's Lewis and Clark Club has done most proportionately, toward mak ing money for the statue. Towns all over the state were notified last week that a contest was being start ed, each place being asked to give a certain sum, while the town send ing the largest amount over what was csked would be presented witn the flag. To stimulate individual interest a copy of Mrs. Dye's "The Contest" is offered as a reward for every 110 raised. The club is de serving the highest praise lor its dilligent efforts to secure the prize, which is certainly as honor worthy to be proud of. ' AIHLIE.

Look Out. iPt I Many a maa would bei, L V7 I tar go without lunch at all by man eat tne named itinca y&fjr I which forma the noon-day ml meal of manv a business man. Haaty eating, foods hard to digest, and no time allowed for digestion are the cause of many a case of stomach "trouble." Disease of the stomach aerioualy threatens the health of the whole body and should be promptly cured. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri tion. It enables the perfect aseimilatioa of food and the proper nutrition of the body on which physical strength depends. Nine or ten years ago my health became very poor, and in 19 waa eo far gone that good doctors pronounced my caee the wont they had erer treated. writes Mr. Harvey palpus, of Rorenee, Ala. "I had acute stomach trouble, or complaint, catarrh and waa term to eucb so eaten tl could not sleep. I flnsllv rot three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Orfldea Medical Discovery and aome ' Pellets.' Took tbetn according- to directions on the Bottles, ana m a lew nan noticed a decided improvement. I commenced to set more teat st nieht and Could et with pleasure, where formerly food was like chips to me.

Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse the clogged srsUaa from accumulated unptuiues.

Would you like to spend a life time with one like this? Girls, when you see them sitting around on (a dry goods box, smok ing cigarettes look out. When you hear a loud laugh and a slang phrase every other moment look out. When they call their parents the "old man" and "old woman" look out. When they snoop about into other peoples affairs look out. When they show no respect for the opinions of older people, have 00 reverence for the aged, and slur at religion look out. When they make light remarks about young women and display a spirit of levity at improper seasons look out. Lack of judgment aud lack of re finement are aerious drawbacks in any nature. Indolence is intoler able. Would you like to spend a lifetime with one like this?
