That is a mos extreme injustice to printers throughout the coun try. Two were from hanx and threefrom big merchants. These merchants desire the country newspapers to fight the parcels post for them on the theory that it will help the mail order houses to still future increase their compethion against the local merchant- Yet they patronize the government monopoly these stamped envelopes that i a most extreame injustice to the local printer. The government gives a contract to a single printing concern for these envelopes in the enormous amount of KOUK MIL LION envelopes. And of course the go vernment can sell them cheaper with stamps and return imprint then the local printer can buy the blanK envelopes, in the quantity he buys them in. Special ! machinery is used in the printing of an as sured order of four billion envelopes that the local printer cannot afford to-own.

"It lakes money to run a newspaper " Si. John (Kan. (News. What an exaggeration! It has been disproved a thousaud times, it is a clean case of air fancy. It doesn't take money to run a newspaper; it can be run with out money: It is a charitable mustitutinn. a begging concern, a highway robber. A newspaper it a child of the air, a creature of a dream. It can go on and on and on, when any other concern wonld be in the hands of a receiver and wound up with cobwebs in the windows. It takes wind to run a newspaper: it takes gall to run a uewspaper; it takes a scintillating acrobatic imagination and a half a dozen white shirts and a railroad pass to run a newspaper. Hut money Heaven to Hetsy and six hands go around, who everneeded moneo in conduc ting a newspaper' Kind words are the medium O fexchange that does the business for the editor-kind words and church social ticn ets. When you see an editor with money, watch him. He II be paying his bills and disgraieing his profession. Never give money to an editor. Makes him trade it out; he in..,, to swap. Then when you die, after having stood around and sneered rt ihe editor and his jim crow paper lor years, be sure and have your wife send in for three extra copies by one of your weeping children, and when she reads the generous and touching notice noliosendhlieen cents to the editor, it would overwhelm him. Money is a corrupting thing. The editor knows it and what he wants is your heartfelt thanks ,then he can thank the grocer. Hut money-scorn the tiltho stuff Don t let the pure, innocent editor Know any thing about it. Keep it for sordid tradespeople. The editor gives his bouty away. The Lord loves a cheerful giver. He ll take care of the editor. He has a charter from the state to act as a doormat for the community and he ll get hit paper out somehow nd stand up for you when run for office and lie about vonr i er. tacky wedding and blow about your bib looted sons when they get a 4-a-weekf Ot He will weep over your gasping bxly anil, smile at your wife s giddy seconi marriage.

I havent forgot ten that. "I say his chicken fad 1 responsible for everything. Talk about tremen dous proportions!' He Is simply crazy about those chickens. "Why In the world father told him to go Into chicken raising on a large scale If he wanted to I cannot see! The Influence of those chickens upon him Is simply dreadful. Richard never was in the least stingy before ana never did he call me eaay in all his . life till yesterday. "When the first Incubator hatched ha was wild about it. That night he began to talk about the chicken feasts , we should have when the Kentucky cousins came. His conversation waa all about fried chicken or broiled j chicken until I ached to think of the weeks that must pass before the little 1 fluff balls were big enough to eat. "After that he was with them early and late, watching for gaps and pip, i till I begged him to stop reading those chicken books that told about such horrid things. "Dreams began to come true when the Kentucky cousins came. Sarah did her best and we had all the chick en we could want broiled, fried and a la Maryland. And still there seemed so many of them left that 1 got alarm ed and one day asked If Henry shouldn't dress one and send It over to Mrs. Martin, who haa bean sick all summer. Richard said, 'Of course; I'll attend to It,' so slncerly that I though i he approved. "I began to think up others to help us out by accepting chickens. I made out a list that Richard passed on fav orably, but he began to be sour and stingy when I started to duplicate It. "And yesterday, when Mrs. Martin's daughter Katherlne called up to ask lor a broiler, as I had told her to do whenever she wanted one, he flew Into a temiier aud called me 'easy.' Think of that! And only the evening before he had telephoned for some choice toses to be sent to his brother's sweetheart In his brother's name! "I was so stunned for a MAM that I wouldn't listen to a thing he said, but locked myself In my room. After a while I heard him telephoning the Martins that the chicken would be over soon. Then what do you think he did? He called up I lay ward's chick en farm and ordered It from there! " 'Haven't you any more?' 1 heard him ask. 'Where can I get some? At Pepper's? I'll try there. Oh. mine aren't big enough. No. we haven't tried any yet we've been depending on you. Raised em myself, you know, ind have a sort of sentimental feeling ibout them A finer lot you never saw.'
