costs of the trial for the assault,

Crowder calls his "Spencer's. Sar- :

that his medicine will euro almost

guess the value of the stuff when

that will bring about the
proposed reform. The C< mi mittsinners

Is a Periodical a Public Utility ?
Editor Times: I have just road yonr
issue of the present week, and I hope
yon will pardon mo, but I reel prompted
to congratulate >*<"> oh tl?o literary and
mechanical gef np .of. yonr . readable
pajH*r. Yonr dippings are general and
instructive with bits 6f news almost
from Maiuo California. Every town,
or I should say every family, needs just
such a pu|>or as you arc dispensing.
I win say what I have, said without
fear or favor as I hav<J> no selfish ends in
view. Any e.loan, wholesome paper
will pay for itself many times during a
year, ft may be trne that a paper is a
private ooneorn, but at the same time
it is a public utility,, and. if justly ri garded
as such by <j\n*ry wide awake
citisen. It stands for truth and morals
and is a veritable menace to evil doers.
The immoral are greatly hampered
through fear Vjf ventilation in the papers,
ami ifc. is well they do f?ur for
"the pejpi* Tufphtie^than the sword."
Editors like some other mortals come
in for a fall shurb of froe disoos*iou and
really they should no; bo averse to i>.?iitg
dissented. I ^leaii the food one
places before his'uuditoi-s. "A fountain
oun not issue both sweet and bitter
water," uor rem a stream rise above its
source.
Books aiul papers play a wonderful
part in social life. The Good Book
informs us, "As a man thinkcth so ho
is," or we might interpret, as a man
reads ho is he, for our literary food, like
our diet, has much to do with growth.
I heard an original speaker once say
that he oonld look in a man's face aud
toll what kind of biscuits he ate. Of
i.. 11,t? ?. T
i/V/uim; nu lauoiiv laciui f io? \u a j
so interpreted him. However, I think
it would be as ditticnlt to put in a man's j
head what nature hud denied him as it
would be to train a donkey to a threeminute
gait. Nevertheless, good wholesome
rending will stamp itself upon any
man, and there is no better companion
for a youth than a book or a fresh nice
paper.
Prison statistics will bear mo out in
saying that tho fewest habitual readers
turn out badly, or commit crime. The
unoccupied mind that thinks no higher
thoughts than those suggested by a benighted
intellect ami a sensual appetite
often Hud their way to a felon's cell.
This within itself should arouse every
parent- not only to put good books and
periodicals before their children, but to
tieo that they are well read?soon tho
mind will be quickened and aroused,
and a thirst for knowlodgo will be acquired.
Somo of our best and most
learned men attribute their awakening
to a sermon or a chance book or a ]>eriodieal
that fell into their hands. You
may call it "fate," but such might be
tho fate of any youth who has the capacity
to think for himself. We can
not put too high an estimate upon readiugand
what to read.
1 once heard a man say that ho never
read anything hut his Bible, and I was
truly sorry for him. He was like the
man of Ethiopia, whom Phillip met
nv.ding Esaiss the Prophet. "How can
I understand unless someone guide me?"
Reading stimulates thought, and
thought is the formation of character
and character determines destiny. A
man is largely the creature of his own
creation. He moves within a sphere
.circumscribed hv his own lunulu Tim
fluid may bu enlarged or liniitud to his
own liking. Reverses iiru but stopping
stonus to greater and final success.
