One thing newspaper people will never be able to understand is why any person will walk into a newspap er ollico and make himself or herself an object of charity and insist upon what thty would disdain to ask for in any other shop or place of business in the town. The principle is the same in the newspaper office as in the dry goods store, tho grocery, the drug store and what a great many peoplo need is to recognize it as the same and get off the newspaper list OIUKCTS OF CHARITY Space and copies of his paper go to make up tho newspaper man's entire stock in trade. These two nro all thnt PRIDE Hy Dr. Frank Crane ' Pride is the stupidest of human per versions. Self-esteem is essential; but in the wise man it is made beautiful by a incurc humility, while in the .fool it is hardened and uglifid by ignorance. Pride has as many forms as the de vil. In oach it apes some virtuo as doe:, ine devil also. Much that we call patriotism is a diseased national egotism. It is not patriotism that leads men to shoot those of another country, it is vicious self-conceit. Whoever despics another is an ego tist. If we seek to understand those we meet, instead of seeking to domi nate, regulate or judge them, we shall lovo everybody, even criminals. The first business of a judge a preacher or a parent is to understand. This cannot be done 'without humility. The prime trait of a gentleman is that he does not have a keen sense of his deserts. The man who thinks he deserves the devotion of a good wo man, the adoration of children, and the loyality of friends ought to be kicked, as R. L .Stevenson said. A real man is surprised constantly and grateful for all proofs of love. Tho fanatic is a porson wholly drunk with pride of opinion. It is wrong to call him a man of faith for no one can have faith who is not willing to hear' tho other side. Tho cheapest form of virtue is that which loves to talk of itself. It is also suspicious. One who is always prating of puri ty may well be suspected of inwardly leaning a it toward unclcanncss. The bully is a coward at heart," It is hard to lie envied and criticiz ed, but it is worse to bo universally praised. Few men can stand praise without becoming vain and self-centered. A real man gives himself out to be just what he is. A proud man is a liar, for he wants to be esteemed for more than he is. Pride is the one thing more than all others, than offends people. Nobody symphathizes with a proud man. Eve rybody instinctively wants to take him down a peg. He is ridiculous. Everybody laughs when he stubs his toe. When we become conscious of c fault and arc filled with humility that fault is not noticeable to others, but fault leap in the eyes of our friends when our own pride refuses to see them. Humble, inconspicuous people those who are in no way celebrities, are usu ally much plcasitfittr companions than the famous because these take criti cism kindly and strive to amend. The notion that assurance and push ind forwardness get most out of life is erroneous. Nothing riccomplishe.i more in the long run than genuine modesty.

Advertising space in the newspap er is for sale, not to give away. It las a certain value in itself that mak es it worth money. Copies of the newspaper are for sale not to give wny. If they are worth having, they are worth tho exceedingly small price asked for them. The public, or at least a large por tion of it, has some very erroneous ideas about these matters, and it is but just to the newspaper folk that their ideas be corrected in accordance with the same business principles that prevail in all other business establish ments. In u vast majority of cases this generous charity on the part of the lewspaper is blissfully taken for runted and the paper's liberrlity is ibused. That which is purely a favor is accepted as a matter of course, and what should bo requests arc couched is demands. When the courtesy has been perfor med there is rarely appreciation and more often dissatisfaction gene-ally silence. The result in many other towns and cities is that a ban has been put upon' all free publicity, no matter what its object oven upon church notices.
