"WiLL your brother probably ever

business ? " "Writing descriptive arti

A LAD was learning his Sunday school
lesson , with the words : "Consider the
lilies of the field , how thoy grow ; they
toil not , neither do they spin , and yet !

proceeded with a pronounced voice
"Sullivan in all his glory was not like
one of these. "
WE have long since wondered if there
is such a place as a news-paporial para
dise. Conway of the Norton ( Kas. )
Champion , a journalist after our own
heart , thus opens up that abode to our
enraptured vision :
"Every sound of praise for Norton that
burdens the passing breeze , is stolen from our
columns. We are interested in Norton , have
nil our fortunes staked here. Every dollar
added to its treasury is a dividend on our in
vestment ; every word spoken in its favor is
nusic to our ears ; every supporter of Norton
County is our support. For these reasons we
lave never solicited a subscriber , nor sent
he Champion to any man without his order.
We are out of debt , have money in the bank ,
and praise or blame because independent.
The Champion is neither a smut mill nor a
soap factory , yet it can say anything as sweet
or as bitter as another. Journalism is our
profession and we shall practice all along
he keyboard , no stop barred. "
Willey & Walker the McCook Druggists ,

Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is the safest

THE feminine half of a married cou
ple down in Connecticut broke a silence
of twenty-five years , during which she
and her husband had not spoken to each
other , by exclaiming : "Where is them
nails ? " Her excuse was the excitement
of house cleaning. But it so harrowed
the feelings of that male brute , who re
fused to answer a word , that they are
now going in for a divorce.
IN London the manager of a troupe of
