ness and protect the advertisers. We do not mind having competition, but
it must come right. If the advertiser wants to know facts, let them call on
us and we will give them a safe tip. -

AMBITION OF A PRINCESS.
Wo-ian High in Station Acknowl
edges Fondness for Reporting.
Princess Charles of Denmark was
lecently seen at a railway terminus
bidding adieu ' to a distinguished
guest. Looking ttrr mil with a bored
expression, she saw a newspaper re
porter scribbling away for dear life
in his notebook. She, too, drew a tiny
notebook from her pocket, wrote a
message upon a leaf and folded it
Into a tiny pellet. The reporter watch
ed every motion with glistening eye.
Some important hit of news, he was
Kurel was about to be given him.
Sure enough, the princess threw the
pellet of paper directly at him, with
an unusually good aim for a woman,
and immediately turned the other
way, absorbed In her hospitable task.
Tho reporter straightened out tbe
crumpled leaf. On It were these
words: "I wish i were a reporter."
Expert Tattooist.
The master of the tattooing nrt in
Japan is Chyo, who can produce such
pictures on the human skin as are
the envy of all rivals. He has pho
tographs of all his more lniKrtant
works, most of the originals having
been produced on the cuticle of Eng
lish and American travelers. Two of
the most remarkable are a huge drag
on In three colors, covering an Ameri
can doctor's hark entirely, while an
other is a life-sized fly which was put
on an Englishman's wrist so naturally
that one would feel templed to call
his attention to the fact If one were
not told that it was tho work of the
tattooing needle. Chyo's work Is rec
ognized by his countrymen at a glance,
and is looked upon with much respect

HAD TO HAVE EXERCISE.
And He Got It Ey Bumping Into the
Fighting Editor.
Thud, clatter, brnimp!
The editor looked up from the con
genial task of spoiling someone else's
story.
"Sometimes," he said. "1 foel sorry
for spring poets."
He blue penciled nnotlter half-column
Into silent nothingness, and
paused attain to hark to the sounds of
strif-i coming from the next room.
"It seems to me," he said, "that
ttiesa squeals ate in some wise ta
miliar to mine ears."
He telephoned a "stop" message in-
to the lighting editor's den, and the
. next moment that heated and dusty
functionary appeared leading a bat
tered wreck by the ear.
"This Is the fourth time he's tieen
up this week," said the man of mus
cle. "Can't I finish him?"
The editor held up a nierrtful hand.
Then In a kind and tender voice ho
spoke to the poet.
"Why have you returned four
times?" he asked. "Most of your
brethren find once enough."
"My doctor tells me 1 must get
some violent exercise," the poet said,
"and this Is the only way I can af
ford to take It." linden Answers.
Duty of a Gentleman.
On one occasion, having returned
from playing poker ut the club, my
grandfather said :
"When a man Is hard up he should
borrow; but he must devote his en
ergies to paying back and remaining
the equal of the man from whom he
fins borrowed. If he cannot pay back,
let him be frank about it; for It Is
better to steal than to cheat."
And again:
"To ride straight, and to shoot
Ftraight, to win money cheerfully and
to lose it cheerfully, never to be Ixior-1-hty
In debt or swinishly drunk, to
enjoy flowers nnd music, and If "s
clhle to be In love with at least one
good woman, is half the duty of u gen
tleman." "What's (he other half, grandpa?"
1 had asked him.
"Why. to be a gentleman, of
course."

The People's Schools.
Tho schools belong to the people
and will lie what the people make
them. It l.s a mistake to suppose that
school etllcers and teachers are the
only ones Hint have to do with tho
making of the schools. The people
set the pare for the teachers ami
school ofllcers. If a school ofllcer
does not meet the Ideals of the people
he Is turned out at the first election.
If a teacher does pot meet Hie Ideal
o.' the people the (earlier Is quickly
reached through the school olllrers.
So it gels back to the people ill the
end. The man that lliinks the school
are not good enough should set him
self about having them improved. It
is astonishing how much one person
ran do to improve the schools when
he sets himself uboul it.-- Henry F.
Thurston.
