CAN n tfootl iii'w.sjiiiper mini he a trciitleiiiaii J A writer in the
Atlantic llontly reoeutly stilted lie could not be. For one of the
first qualities of n gentleman is modesty, and one of the first require
ments of a good journalist is immodesty. VA gentleman' never unduly
Mows his own horn; a good newspaper man always blows it, vAecept
ing the premises, perhaps the Atlantic Monthly writer is correct. But
there will be those to maintain, a gentleman does not have lo be a vio
let by the mossy stone, and a good newspaper man does not have to
be a megalomaniac. . . '
Take Mike Do Young, publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle,
for example. On .Sunday Mike presented the city of San Francisco
with a complete memorial museum, on only one condition, "that it
shall never he closed and no admission shall ever be charged." ...
On Monday Mike's paper devoted thirty pages to the occasion with
a banner on the front page, followed by a double column, spread, and
n great array of pictures, with Mike as the most prominent figure in
n majority of them. In fact, not being content with having his allur
ing physiognomy in one five-column lay-out. once, Mike ingeniously
put it in twice. The reader observes "M. II. Do Young presenting the
museum," and pointing his finger, for fear the reader may miss the
second most important personage, directly at "JI..H. Youiig, the
museum's donor.' '
Then in bold face double leaded type on the first page, one reads:
"Speakers and audience alike Joined In paying the highest possible
tribute to Mr. de Young as a public spirited and generous citlen. The
frequent and spontaneous applause thut interrupted tho speakers when
they touched on Mr. de Young's altruism and eagerness to advance the
Interests of ihe city, spolio eloquently of tho popular recognition of his
great services to San Kranclseo." .
Ahem! And so on and so .forth up to 90.000 words.
Xow undoubtedly all this comprises news of an important and
epoch making event, and perhaps if the Chronicle hadn't printed it,
some other paper would, for it is one of the first principles of enter
prising journalism to beat the other, fellow to it. ,.,
But let us suppose that Mike had been content with say 28 pages
and with not more than one facial reproduction in each photo. Would
his reputation as a good newspaper man have been seriously impaired?
We doubt it. As to whether his standing as a gentleman would have
been enhanced is another question. Newspaper men as a class aren't
worried about, gentlemen. They leave that to periodicals like the
Atlantic Monthly, with meagre circulation and super-norrtinj b'ra'iA
pressure.

THE PEPTIMIST.
THE PEptlJflST fs one who works with most ..eio'c&tin'g! vim;
and sets example to the shirks who iniiy keep tab on him.
So many men, with dragging feet, go to their tasks each day,
with frowns they shuck the ears of wheat and thrash the bales of
hay. With scowis they ply the shining saw or wield the useful
churn; they're only happy when they draw tho pay they think
they earn. And when there is a slump in trade, and workmen
must be. fired, these delegates are first to fade they've made the
bosses tired. Tho peptimist has taken pride in" labors5 snfca'iit'l
sane, whatever tool he may have plied, a corkscrew or a plane,
lie did not go with dragging step when morning whistles blew;
in every motion there was pep, no sulky fits lie threw. And when ..
a slump in trade appears, and workmen' are laid off, the boss an
nounces through his tears, "We'lf keep this bustling toff. We
can't afford to lot him go, he's such a useful man ;' we'll keep hiin,
though to Tom and Joe we must attach the can." The peptimist
is in demand wherever commerce dwells; ho makes his progress J
through the land, and wears his string of bells.

Flour for every purpose. '
. To make a ; flour which is just as good
for cakes and pies as for bread, choicest
eastern hard .wheat and the. choicest of western
wheats must be brought together irt proper pro
portions, and those proportions remain uniform.
The western wheats and the eastern hard wheat
' miist be tempered separately and then ground in
separate mills." ' -.
We have mills vyhere bli'r hard wheat is ground; mills
' where bur Western wheats are ground. The flours from
these two distind: grindings must then be scientifically
blended. For that purpose we have equipment which we
believe to Be superior to that of any other flouring mills in
the country. ' ' , .
