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

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. "The meek shall inherit
the earth."

alls And Denim Goods!
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. In '
those cities such favors as tho press
bestows are properly appreciated and .
valued. The Fourth Estate.

The scarcity of foreign Indigo Dyes is largely
responsible for the advance.
It is only a short time hence until the present
