HAROLD J. DANE, Eaitor. How The Mighty Have Fallen. Great are the victories of civiliza- | tion. Cole Younger has been robbed | of $95 by an ordinary pickpocket. Aj great many of us had forgotten all‘ about Cole, who with Jesse James; and kindred spirits, held up trains, shot bank tellers and relieved travel- ers of their valuables, until the un- fortunate raid on, the bank at North- | field, Minn., brought the gang to grief and sent some of them, includ- ing Cole to prison. After his release Cole tried vaude- . ville a while but did not hit it off and for many years has been living in re- tirement in his native state, Missouri. It was while attending a lecture by at Lee’s Summit that a tyro of a pickpockets lifted the roll of the professional. It would have been about as diffi- tult to imagine a thief robbing Cole a8 it would have been to conceive an assassin taking a pot shot at the colonel.—Savannah News. ‘William Jennings Bryan Campaign Cigars? ; The following dispatch came from" Duluth. “John Bergman of Palmer, Minn., yesterday told of an attack by wolves Tuesday night. With only four cigars as weapons he successful- iy held a wolf pack at bay until as- sistance came from the camp where he is employed. He went to Palmer on the afternoon train Tuesday and was walking to the in the dusk. He saw wolves cross the road in front of him and then the pack be- -gan to close in. He had no weapons, .‘but he did have four cigars. i “Lighting all four cigars, he jab- bed the lighted ends at the wnlves,L oenly stopping long enough to puff the perfectors to keep them going. ‘When he finally came within hailing camp distance of the camp he was exhaust- ed. Men ran out with guns and the wolves fled. Modest Mr. Morgan. The money czar of America, as he talked on the witness stand before the congressional committee, prob- ably furnished precisely the inform- ation desired to point the way to- ward legislation designed to impose salutary restrictions upon the money Mr. Morgan depreciates the . power of money and employs an un- | l | | Dower. intelligible apothesis of credit for the purpose of showing the impot- ency of mere money. The generalJ public will stumble in its effort to' follow him through this labyrinth of reasoning. 1t is to be expected that' a man would entertain singular no~! tions of wealth who would deny the! exercise of power, as Mr. Morgan did, and who would have to search ‘his memory to recall the trifling in- vestment in banks stocks of “only a| million or so.” v i The matter of interest, however, is what the Morgan syndicate does and ! how it does it, rather than what Mr. Morgan thinks of the proceeding; and this is pretty well disclosed. Ap-| parently the great financier talkedI frankly without manifestation of | desire to withold anything. The manipulation of millions was told 1f Mr. Mor- gan had terminated the incident by lighting a cigar—his own favorite with indifferent candor. brand of strong Havana—with a $10,000 bill, he would have been sur- prised at the wonderment it pro- voked.—St. Paul Despatch. What Shall One Give? The Christmas spirit, the ¢ true Christmas spirit, is a little bit of the millennium let into the year as a sort of foretaste to show people what| [ they are capable of, when the brakes are taken off of generosity and good fellowship, and the world sets about forgetting itself and making others happy. Practically every prisoner in a British jail receives’a Christmas card and a Christmas letter. These are not ordinary cards, such as can be bought by the dozen. They are eith- er painted in water colors or decorat- ed with pressed senweed. dried flow- ers or ferns. Every card—and last Christmas no fewer than 36,179 were sent out—is an individual of- fering on which personal care and la- bor has been bestowed. Each card is accompanied by a friendly letter. In most cases letters and cards are one, the top portion of a stiff sheet of note paper being painted or decorated and the letter following underneath. This interesting charity and labor of love was started by what is known as “Mrs. Meredith’s Prison Mission.” Mrs. Meredith was the daughter of the governor of the county jail of Cork, in Ireland, and founded the first Prison Gate Mission in London many years ago, in conjunction with her sister, Miss Lloyd. Both these women are now dead, but the work they began goes on. This may seem like a small mat- ter, but it is a scheme that holds great possibilities. It is not so much what one gives, ag it is the spirit of love, good will and remembrance which goes with the gift that counts. It may also furnish an idea for those who may not have much in a material way‘to give, or for those who are troubled about what to give in certain cases. Give yourself. It may not be pos- sible to give a wealthy person a pres- ent that he would possibly care for, but an expression of regard or of thanks for past kindnesses or of ap- preciation might well be his best present of the entire Christmas sea- son. =1 was in prison, and ye visited me."” ot all the prisoners are in mater- ial jails.

Stating a Fact. “Scribbler says he is thinking ously of writing a book.” “I'm glad to hear that he is think- lng of it seriously.” “Why so?" “Cons’dering the high cost of white paper, writing a book is not a task to be approached in a spirit of levity.” seri- One Way.

Advertiser and Local Paper The relation of the local paper and the advertiser should be congenial, as one is more or less dependent upon the - other. When the advertiser places advertising in the local paper he expects results. The newspaper when it aceepts adverm%promises in effect that the paper has a local circulation commensurate with the rate charged. Advertising should be given in good faith as it'is ac- cepted in good faith. It is purely a business transaction. The newspaper sells its space, or services, to the advertiser, just as any one sells any other commodity. There are three things for the advertiser to bear in mind. First, he should map out a systematic advertising cam- paign and be persistent in carrying it out. Second, he should prepare his advertisements so they are attractive, interesting and convincing. Third, he must back up his advertising campaign with good service, or he cannot ex- pect to hold his trade and get the best results out of his advertising. : The advertiser must realize that all responsibility for the preparation of the advertisments ave with himself. If the advertisments have no merit no results should be ex- pected. It is ridiculous to blame the newspaper when neither the advertisements nor conditions warrant results. There is no one more interested in seeing advertisments profitable than the newspaper, as the advertising in the paper is what makes the publication of the paper possible, thus aiding in the dissemination of local news, the creation of local interest, and the building of the local community —all of which is necessary to the suceess of local business. On the other hand there should he no one stronger in his friendship for the local paper than the local advertiser. The local newspaper is the best friend the local advertiser has. Hence the local paper should not be treated as an enemy, but rather as a friend and semi-partner in the task of business getting. i Copyright 1912 by Geo. E.

Upman, presi What Subscriptions Count One dollar cash will be paid to each Ladies’ Society for every iy_carly subscription, old or new, secured for the Daily Pioneer. When a set of one hundred has been reached a special premium of $25 will be given. Thus for one hundred subscriptions the society securing them will have received a cash gift og $125. If a club secures but seventy-five yearly subscriptions, it will receive $75; if but fifty yearly subscriptions, $50; and if only ten are secured a' cash gift of $10 will be made. For one six months subscription to the Daily Pioneer, fifty cents will be paid, and for each additional six months subscriptions secured the rate will be paid the same. Thus, when two hundred of these six months subscriptions have been turned in an addi- tional gift of $25 will be given. A six months subscription counts just half of a yearly subscription for the Daily Pioneer. One yearly subscription to the Weekly Pioneer counts same as six months to the Daily, the only ditference being the subscrip- tion price which is $1.50 a year. The Daily for six months is $2 and the Daily for one year is $4. Free Premiums will be given to every subscriber.

BEM/I0II BREWING L =5 N with a snaffle like-that used cn horse halters, firmly fixed to each end of this line. Such a line can be put up and taken down readily by simply snapping the snaffles in or taking them off the rings or screw eyes fixed }in the wall. Such a device, with the aid of the clothes bars commonly used in every home, would accommo- |date a large number of wet clothes { over night or probably all the clothes |after ironing when hung up to be {dried more thoroughly before laying iaway. Such space for hanging clothes i can be easily extended by serewing to } the opposite walls a series of common (small pulleys around which the :length-ened clothes line may be run jand laced back and forth across the iroom from the first screw eye on one i wall to the last screw eye on the fur-| | ther side of the opposite or the same iwall, or heavy, open hooks may be {used instead of the pulleys. There are on the market, patented i devices for use in drying clothes in- doors. One is similar in appearance to common clothes bars, unhinged jand suppended horizontally in mid- {air from a support in the ceiling. Tt can be raised and lowered by a rope which runs over pulleys fixed to cross- bars screwed to the ceiling at one part and to the kitchen wall at the other. Such a device raises the :clothes to the warmest part of the iroom where they can dry rapidly, | where they may hang at any time iwhen the kitchen is free from the dust of cleaning, and where they are out of the way of anyone moving about in the room. CARE OF THE HANDS ‘When the hands must pe exposed to the winter air just after being in wa- ter, the ensuing numbness can be pre- vented, in some degree at least, by first wiping the hands lightly and then, while they are stil 1damp, cov- ering them with dry wheat flour to fill the pores of the ‘skin tempor- arily, shaking off any surplus flour.
