It made no difference to this person that the scandal affected the daughter of his neighbor that the mother of the girl was seriously ill that the brother was just entering what promised to be a success ful professional career. The scandal was rich in flavor, and he wanted to see it in the paper. He told the editor about it, with every evidence of the keen relish of the scandal connoisseur, but impressed upon the newspaper man that the source of his infor mation must be kept inviolably secret. When the paper came out, the man returned to demand why the story hadn't been print ed. Short, sharp words follow ed, and the visitor called the edi tor a coward and left, vowing that a man who was afraid to print the news had no right to be an editor. To our mind, that editor wa3 a brave man. The in former who demanded that his name be kept secret, was the coward. The editor ran a paper in a sma'.l town. So closely re lated were the lives of the in habitants, that the editor knew every detail of the story before his visitor called on him. But he could see no profit for himself nor glory for his paper in print ing .n item that would bring sor row to the gray hairs of a fath er, disgrace to a brother and probably serious consequences to a sick mother. If the news appetites of his readers were so voracious, he thought, as to de mand this costly food, he would refuse to pay the price. The editor was right. Many things he has to print which he would rather leave unsaid, but the scandal which has only its "spice" to reccommend it should have no place in the columns of a self respecting paper. We would rather build than tear down. We would rather print the things that help and encourage and up lift than to hold up the mistakes of some unfortunate to the scorn and contempt of his neighbors. Decency is not lack of courage. If it were, we would rather be decent than courageous. Preliminary Meetings.

Thanking you for the nice increase in our business this summer. HULL & BENDER, McConnellsburg, Pa. Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than good music. To have good music you must have a good instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike. The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and in a position to make good any business transactions. Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is not all right you can come back at me. There are families in every part of this county that have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about me. Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano, or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player, me. Let's talk it over. L. W.
