OWEN ft CHAPLBLL An isditor'a Prayer The talented editor of the Tex&rkan- inn is said by an exchange to have at­ tended church service a few days ago and when called upon to lead in prayer re­ sponded in this fashion: \ "Almighty and kind Father, pho from Thy throne, looks down on the govern­ ment of men and delinquent subscribers, draw near unto them and whisper a few thiuga into their ears that the statues torb d 11s to print. Thou knowest our wants but the subscriber knowest them not and seldom steps in to inquire. Let it be known to them that there are large patches on the homesttad of our pants and there is an aching vdid in the front of our back and that we hunger and thirst and he asketh us not to sup with him. Thou knowest, Lord, that our print paper and ink costs money, but the subscriber knoweth it not and careth a darned sight lees. Thou knowest that we are cold and .the subscriber bringeth not the wood be promised and we are shivering and shaking while he roasteth his shins before the red hot stove of his mother-in-law. Tell him all these things. Lord, and if he then bringeth no succor, banish him to the lower regions to dwell, among the calamity howlers and Thine shall be the praise through our newspa­ per career." The Way We Take It. The way an exchange expounds "envy" greatly meets Sur fancy. It reads like this: "Envy is rottenness in the boDes. Its presence indicates some­ thing radically wrong with the charac­ ter. Men envy you those things for which they are not willing to work and sacrifice as you nave worked and sacri­ ficed. There is something noble and he­ roic in the inan who can appreciate in you your best and greatest excellence, and then you can earnestly set to work to win those same^ great qualities for himself. He never envies you, bnt rather rejoices in your excellencies. And he rejoices also for himself as he declares heroically in his own heart. "I shall soon, by the grace of God, be the happy possessor of those same splendid qualities." * To Good Co Be Lost. The Boone (la.) Republican records the following bit of history, which, while vouched for es being true, reads as though the truth was hard pushed; "Seven years ago a Hitchcock county farmer, whose modesty forbids the pub­ lic ition of his name, hung his vest on the barn yard fenee, a calf chewed up a pocket in the garment in which Was contained a! standard gold watch. Last week the ani-j mal, a staid, old milcb cow, was butcher­ ed for beef and the timepiece was found in such a position between the luhgs of the cow that the process of respiration, the closing in and filling the lungs, kept the stem-winder wound up and the watch had lost but four minutes and two and a half ticks in the seven years. It is one of the most remarkable cases we have ever heard of." If you are going to buy a new Jacket or Cape buy an 1898 style. They will be old enough by the time they are worn out. Our stock is new. \ Ringwood, 111. J. E. CfUBOT* FBBSONA.I* MRS. E. W. HOWE attended to business in Chicago on Thursday last. E, J. HANLY and wife wet| Beloit visitors a few days last week. MRS.

A rule has recently gone into effect which greatly modifies the present pos­ tal money order system giving, it a wider scope and making it more popu­ lar and useful. Heretofore money orders were issued only on foreign cities. The new rule al­ lows oilers to be issued from one person to another in the same place, as well as making it permisable for a person to take out a money order payable to him­ self or herself, which is good for one year from date. To persons who have no bank-account, formers, etc., the rule is espi cially welcome as it saves much time and labor. This adoption of the rule practically transforms the postal money order sys­ tem iato a postal savings bank system, and will be welcomed by the multitude as the government stands behind each order.
