THOUGHTS 0F Judging from the number of 608‘- ly presents, it is safe to say that the bride and groom will be exâ€" tremely missed in the community, and especially in church circles. Their numerous friends sth them much happiness. Under the heading ol “Idle Thoughts of a Reporter,” a contem- porary newspaper publiehes the fol- lowing paragraph which will doubt- less atrike a familiar chord in the experience of all newspaper men: Always judge a man by the way he answers the doorbell at 2 o'clock in the morning. The boy at home on the farm, workâ€" ing hard to make a living and pay of! the mortgage’ hears of the success of a chum who invested in real estate out west and is ncw a. millionaire. The man who is in business in a small way sees his competitor, who is dab- bling in stocks, cutting a'dash which makes him feel insignificantly small. And he, like the boy on the farm, as well as a great many cthers who are earning their bread by the sweat of their brow, are apt to become dis- couraged with the slow progress they are making and they, too, decide to put aportion of their hard earned money into some mining stock lots in the West, or some other wild cat scheme which in nine cases out of ten will turn out to be a complete failure. Towns and villages wake up to the fact that Western towns are boonfing and cities are outrivalling. each other in their rapid increase in manufactur- ing, and they, too’ become discouragâ€" ed and decide that they, .too, must Eve ”body who isn ’t trouble, wants his picture in them paper. Press committees are usually com- posed of men who know nothing of their organization. Dear Sinâ€"There is a tendency in human nature to ignore the day of smal‘ thingsâ€"to leap to the top with- out taking time tc-climb. All the get-rich-quick schemes which are launched upon the publiI appeal to this gambling spirit, which possesses nearly every mortal to a greater or less degree. The more important a story looks to the man who figures in it the less important it. really is. To the Editor: It’s hard for a reporter who works thirteen hours a. day to roast a cruel manufacturer who compels his em- ployes to work for nine hours. Diplomacy is essential to a good newspaper reporter; if he told some people what he thought of them, he would be fired several times a day. The public should be thankful that the newspapers, with all their faults, are as good as they are, considering the difficulties which the newspaper man encounters every day, year in and year out, and which they philo- sophically take as a matter of course A reporter sees a lot of the “cold, gray dawn of the morning after.” BOOSTING LINDSAY.
