Here is the secret of success. A child is l>orn in the neighborhood, the attending physician gets $10, the editor gives the loud-lunged youngster and the "happy parents" a sendofT and gets $0. It is christened; the minister gets $10 and the editor gets $(X). It grows up and marries; the editor publishes another long-winded, llowery arti-! ele and tells a dozen lies about the i "beautiful and accomplished j bride," the minister gets $10 and a piece of cake, and the editor gets' $000. In the course of time it dies, i and the doctor gets from $'2~? to $ 100; the minister perhaps gets another $1"), the undertaker gets $"?0 to $100: the editor publishes a notice of the death and an obituary two columns long, lodge and society resolutions, a lot of poetry and a free card of thanks, and gets $0,000. No wonder so many country editors get rich. pportunity for learning. Wi nthop college, while it makes no spce:ilty of this training, does it neverheless, and who can gainsay the ;ond results. The profession of this school in 'leveland {gives the " ' She should know how economially to do her marketing?eeonomI'ally in the broader use of the ford.

We shall asign to four girls the duty of doing his with only one dollar to spend, t will teach them economy.

The number of girls ignorant of hese simple duties is enormously renter than those who have been night them in their home life, he girls from our wealthy families now absolutely nothing of domesc duties as a rule. Those from the sorer classes usually have to be ,ught over again. It is the girls oni the families of moderate means ho nowadays are best lifted to he ives. AN EDITOR'S PAY. i One of the greatest, ami in many ses the greatest problem a country litor has to solve is how to make a ,'ing. So many people never give j moment's thought to the editor of j eir paper, taking it as a natural rt that lie is an easy-going, well-1 ttened happy man. Whereas, to e contrary often he is sorely pressto make ends meet. And he use of this mental strain is unable give his people the best that his ain might produce. Subscribers often reason that their mil dollar will make little differce, whether they pay up or not. msequently when a numlnjr reasthis way, the editor is thrown ck just that far. The payment full of all subscriptions will not y the running expenses of acounpaper, so when only a part are id, the management is indeed in em harassing position. Much s|>ort is made of how edi s get rich, and below we give e of the many ways in which he cs up a fortune; After a good deal of study and >rk it has at last been figured out ^ \Ve welcome our school teachers j they come back to Union.

The establishment in Cleveland, bio, of a school which purposes Uing girls to become wives, has died forth much comment from ie press of the country. Some liters favor, others ridicule the lan. For our part we say simply, that iere is a need and if this school icets this need it is alriirht. Ill ther words it is the prevalent idea mong girls today that knowledge f housekeeping and home-making altogether unnecessary and even egrading. The "servant" should >ok after such matters, is the idea, nd when "matters" are left to the rvants, they receive poor atten- \ on, to say the least. The girl of! >day looks forward to a life of lux-; rious ease, a routine of card parties i id dances; home and home-buildig have little place in her mind, s a natural consequence, homes e not what they should he. No under the husband finds it continent so often to take dinner at le hotel; and no wonder he loves is club better than his home. We say then that if this school , ill help correct this idea, and fit il ls to become true wives it is inleed founded on a principle that mi *ufees.y If simple houseinld duties are not taught the girl n her home, the school fmnv4w.? Thus, we see when and how the living of an editor is made, and further, how he amasses wealth, A western editor has contrived a way, which if pursued, will make him indeed a wealthy man. This is what he purjioses doing: A Western editor has come to the conclusion that the people who desire "puffs" in his paper must pay the following prices: For telling the public that a man is a successful citizen when everybody knows he is as la/.y as a mule, S2.7~>; referring to a deceased citizen as one who is mourned by the entire community, when he knows lie will only be missed by the poker circles, SI.08; referring to some gallivanting woman as an estimable lady whom it is a pleasure to meet, S3.10; calling an ordinary pulpit-pounder an eminent divine, 60 cents, sendI ing a tough sinner to heaven with . poetry So. Well now, that plan will hardly work in I'nion county since we should never find occasion to use it. We always tell the truth aliout these people. If the man is a "successful citizen" or "an eminent divine,"we say so, if he is not, >Vf just don't say much of anything. :-o wo won t adopt this method. What is left for us then? Simply | this: subscribers pay up your subscription and help us net out a good j fiiUriiecn Vo'r'ydars 'Vintt 'wuY alRvK^s ! ire or, at least just so long as you dc your part. We work night and day in the effort to lill our place, |and we confidently expect you U come up with your end. Battleship Louisiana Coming Up Tht Mississippi River. ?_ ... New Orleans, Sept.?The United States Navy Department has announced that the Battleship I.ouisi; ana, the newest and biggest war vessel in tlie navy, will come tc New Orleans about Dee. 1st to receive the ?10,000 silver service <Ki>un i>,> tin: pcopie oi ijouisiana, | t lie value of which equals that to ' the Battleship New York, heretofore the most expensive in the navy. Considerable diversion was created during the past week hy the statement supposed to emanate from the Bureau of Navigation that the passes at the mouth of the Mississippi river were too shallow to admit the Louisiana which draws 26 feet 3-4 inches, full loaded. As oceanfreight vessels drawing several feet more than the Louisiana and having oO per cent more length, pass in and out of the river almost daily, the story evoked a storm of indignation and the Now Orleans Progressive Union wired Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte demanding an investigation. Congressman Davey of Louisiana, was in Washington and a visit to the navy department resulted in a complete change of front, he being advised that the Louisiana would he sent about Dec. 1, that the naval hoard demanded hy the Progressive Union to take soundings would he sent here meanwhile, while the Chief Engineer's Department of the War Depart -A--1 ll 11 nn i- iiBM!rw;u mere whs ample water at the parses for the Ixniisiana. The river in front of New Orleans has a depth of nearly 200 feet and a fine harbor is afforded vessels of all sizes. On numerous occasions when war vessels were wanted here for special features, reports have cropped out of Washington calculated to inspire fear that such vessels might be damaged. It was decided to settle the matter finally, hence the hoard of inquiry was demanded. The largest floating steel dry dock in the world, except the Dewey at Manila, is located opposite the I'nited States Naval Station at New Orleans and the government has thrown it open to the use of all vessels, many of which make the IiOuisiana seem small in comparison. leasure I ) Show liilffir I ashions I HAIIIT Hi i ^ H and more satisfactior 11 Mutual Do j | 1 The Funny Littie" Lady. ^ > There's a funny little lady; ijL ' I've seen her?haven't you?
