The average daily newspaper , with its chronicles of crime , its solemn editorial comment , and its market quotations , is a very dull affair. Very few daily papers help to make life cheerier or easier bear * But the weekly paper is weekly joy. It is not spread all over with tales of crime or defaced with silly pictures. There is some thing in it for everybody. Chi cago Evening Journal. A word to the wise is sufficient. Subscribe for THE J. It was one nipht ; one chilly night , The stars many in number , Looked down ubon this world of ours , LL Wrapped peacefully in slumber ; Looked down on cities sound asleep. ; On meadow , brook and rill , And as they looked a cloud of smoke , One larj/e hotel did fill. Tne inmates sleeping peacefully. Knew no cause for atTii bi , Until the fire bell's wild alarm Rang out on the stilly night. Ah then , there was hurrying to and fro Some cried aloud for aid , Some rushed to find the fire escape , Others knelt down and prayed. But in that crowd were wicked ones _ In many wicked ways , Whom had never thanked their Maker For the blessings of their days , And when they found that they must die ; That there was no other way ; They gathered around a holy priest Imploring him to pray. Crying , oh , dear father pray for us , Pray for us father do , We would not be afraid to die Were we as good as 3Tou , But the holy priest trembling with fear , Each frightened victim eyed , And looked around on the trembling group , As if quite stupefied. | Why don't you pray one wildly cried , Ah , is it really so , You've forgotten what you did in church , Such a short time ago ? The words touching some hidden spring , In his dimmed recollection , He calmly proceeded ! To take up a collection , MRS. MOLLIE SIMMONS I Georgia Grumbling * * . * F.

A man in a neighboring town , who took a city paper in prefer- ence to ti country paper because he got more paper for the money , was attracted by the advertisement of a fire escape which would be forwarded on receipt of $2. lie sent the cash and in a few days re ceived a copy of the New Testa ment. An editor desiring the news , asked a man to write it from his neighborhood and got this reply : "AVe have two school marms , the hog cholera and about fifty bushels | of potatoes , and a tarnal fool who married a cross-eyed girl because she had a mule and forty acres of land , and the same is your humble correspondent. " / A printer recently tried his hand I at farming , but couldn't make things work right and is now back at the case. He had a "wrong font' ' team a horse and a mule and this would not "justify. " ' lie said the farmer fired him after he had "pied" three or four "columns" of potatoes , lie showed his limit ed experience in farming by asking the farmers wife if she wanted the hens set "leaded or solid. " An exchange digs out the follow ing questions , which will keep most people guessing : "You can any day sec a white horse , but did you ever see a white colt ?

A Mi.ouri editor who went on a vacation left a minister in charge of his paper. A day or two later a letter from "a way back"sub scriber came , which read : ' 'You know d well I paid my subscrip tion the last time I was in your town. If I get any more such let ters 1 will come down and mauj hell out of youThe minister answered : " 'I have been trying to maul that thing out of the editor for years , and if you really come down and maul it out-of him , then , my dear sir , 1 have twenty mein- pers of my church you can operate on/ ' An exchange answers the ques tion ' 'Do Hogs Pay ? " in the follow ing manner : "Our experience is that they do not. They usually sponge the paper from ome neighbor or sneak around to some store and read it and then kick be cause the editor did not waste a lot of good white space in telling an anxious public what a prom inent citizen lie is. This same kind of a hog has been known to advertise in a paper and refu.se to pay hi.s bills , or take the paper for several years and then chuck it back into the po.stofiice marked "refused' ' and imagine that he paid the bill. The same class of hogs often belong to church and let the poor widow pay the preach er more on salary than he does.
