One cin hardly blame her for de siring to be rid of such a whole s tie consignment of peevishness. A woman never seems to be fcble to fib about her weight with the same enthusiasm she does about her age. No man ever lost bis reputation or his friends by acting on the square.

It is little use for the local editor to waste' bis lungs and sprain his spine in trying to boom a town when the citizens all stand around* with their hands in tueir pockets and wait for something to turn up. If the capitalists or business men do not pat thier shoulders to tbe wheel and do a little boost* iug it is useless for the editor to try to boom things. He can write “boom” articles until he gets baldbeaded, but if the citi zens themselves do not take hold and pash,the town will forever be stickin the mad. Of what nee is it for the local paper to stu improvements and new ^enl prises if the suggestions are never acted upon? One man cannot boom a town. It requires the concerted action of the citizenk. When one man attempts to shou lder a town and carry it there are always a lot of cranky kick ers who are always ready to jump on top of tbe load.
