Whenever you find a man find-
in fault with a local paper, open
it up, and ten to one he hasn't an
ii-isi-rtiMiuieiit; five tt one he never
.,.ve il a job of work; three to one
dot not take the paper; two to
imk' that if hi: is a . beuriber, he is
delinquent; even odds he never
does anything that will assist the
I nlilifher to fun a good paper, and
f irty to one that if the paper is ft
good one and full of life, he is the
most eager to see the paper wben
it comes out. Ex. ,
A newspaper can be loyal to itr
party and an efficient leader, and
still be fearless and independent in
advocating the best interests of the
people. But it cannot fill this
field when it is tied to the patron
age power, Bnd allows it to pull
very string that regulates its con
duct. Papers that subyert prin
ciple for gain, that compromise
honor for patronage, that dictate to
their betters, may be considered by
some as great and progressive
sheets, but the ' time . will come
when the people willlearn to em
brace the truth, and relegate such
imposters (3 the rear ,
Local editors will agree with the
' following from the quill of one of
them, "Newspaper men are bLtmed
with a lot of things they cannot
help; such as using partiality in
mentionbgvisitors,giving the news
about some folks and leaving out
others, etc. . He simply prints the
news he can find. Some people in
form him about such things and
others do not. - An editor should
not be expected to know the name
and residence of all your uncles,
aunts and cousins, even if he
should see them get off -nd on the
train. Tell us about it. Its news
that makes a newspaper, and every
man, woman and child can be an
associate editor if they would."

STORIES ABOUT THIEVES.
(ire ImfnSM oi Coiualaed lofualtr tad

- The proprietor of a large jowelrj
house iu Cincinnati can soarcely have
forgotten fall experience with an ex
port knave, says the Chicago Inter
Ooeaa. It was .along toward nooa one
Tory hot day in the summer of 1875
when a ministerial-appearing fellow In a
black suit, with a white tie, entered the
store.. He leisurely walked to the show
ease and asked to see some diamond
studs. Alter some hesitation he bought
a small stone, tor which ho paid M.,
Be men wished to took at some rings
thought of making bis wife a present.
As he lollowed the olerk to tho show
ease containing the diamond rings he be
gan to eat an apple. Several valuable
gems were looked at with dissatisfac
tion. One valued at 1500 pleased' him,
but was aot just what he wanted. At
length he saw one in the case he thought
was Just the thing. As the olerk reached
to get it the parson-like customer
pressed the 1500 ring deep Into the
apple he was eating and cleverly tossed
it out of the door. The clerk didn't
notice the move, but a fellow who was
standing on the outside did, and hasti
ly picked up the apple and departed.
The diamond purchaser decided aot to
get his wife a present till another day.
He was on the point of leaving when
the clerk missed the ring.
"Waits minute, please," called the
olerk, who was nervously looking over
the tray. "I can not find that large dia
mond ring you were looking at"
The sanctimonious gentleman in
black at once returned and remarked
that the clerk must be mistaken. The
search continued, but it was fruitless.
The proprietor was oalled, and in a very
austere and blunt way insinuated that
it might be found In the folds of ths
ring-buyer's garments.
"I am Bev. Sr. G n," said the
customer, In tones of excited wrath,
naming a olergyman who lived in a vil
lage about thirty milesdlstantj "and I'll
give you to understand that I did not
come here to be insulted."
Well, the proprietor became angry
and called a policeman, and the alleged
olergyman was removed to a back room,
protesting indignantly at the treatment
A short consultation was held, and a
telegram was sent to the address given
by the prisoner, making inquiry as to
bis character and whereabouts. There
ply was slow in coming, and it was de-
cuea to search tne prisoner, lie was
forced to strip, and every fold and
crease in his olothes wss searched. It is
needless to say the ring was not found.
The telegram to the village, thirty
miles away, came, saying that Bev. Dr.
0 n was one of the most reliable
men in the town, and that he was visit
ing friends in Cincinnati. ' Up to this
time the proprietor had been of the
opinion that the customer was a pious
fraud, but the telegram ohanged his
tune. He wanted to make amends right
away. The parson talked heavy dam
ages and law, but was at length soothed
to silence by four crisp (100 bills. In
some way the story of the minister's
Insult leaked out His friends heard it
amUaked-him about U. In the end1 he H
calleuat tne jew....,, a tore, to auo auoui,
it and the proprietor was not a little
amazed to find he had been duped. De
tectives were at once put on the ease,
and in a few days arrested the bogus
clergyman and bis confederate trying to
pawn the ring. Tbey were the notorious
"Frenchy" La Mountain and Cal Dun
can. -. "
A night watchman who was employed
to protect a jewelry store in Denver
against the ravages of thieves was neat
ly outwitted by the notorious Billy For
rester some years before his death. Tho
prm carried an immense stock of gems
and kept them in a large old-fashioned
bafo. Forrester had by long years' ex
perience become so familiar with safes
of that pattern that he could tell when
to reverse and when to turn the knob
forward by placing his ear close to the
door above the combination, and in this
way could open tbe safe in a short time.
By taking a wax impression of the key
bole he made a key for' the front door.
Having previously located the safe in
the store, he was now ready to begin. It
was a cold, snowy, stormy night about
ten o'clock, and Forrester walked up to
tbe store with an air of ownership and
unlocked the door, He carried a small
sample case in his hand. Going in, he
turned up the gas in tbe rear of the
stare end then shook down tbe stove.
He leisurely worked the combination to
the safe, and in less than half an hour

"Good evening," said the cordial

"I'm packing up my samples," went
on the thief, suavely. "Going out on

would got ready to-night. Tlierol isn't

an elegant Jurgensen for the watchman

In this way Forrester packed over
