Edmond de Goncourt had a curious
reason for gloom over the prospect that
the earth will not last forever. He wrote
to attain fame, he said, and if his fame
were to last only a paltry 10,000 years or
20,000, or even 100,000, he felt that he
would not be repaid for pains he had taken
and the privations he had suffered. Hee
insisted upon his fame lasting forever,
and not a day less. One fancies that the
future may take it into her head not to
oblige him.

Editor News: In casting around for a
suitable man to represent Rankin countv
in the lower house of the legislature, the
conclusion is very general that there art
none more competent in every respect than
Mr. Edgar Misterfeldt, of Beat i. He is
an honorable, hightoned Christian gentle
man, and if he can be induced to enter
the race, will, beyond doubt receive a
majority of the votes cast. In this day of
bribery, greed and graft, it is the duty of
voters to send men of high character to
the legislature.
