As a mother she was aevoted to her children, and lived unsellishly for them Even when the death damp was set tling on her brow and she knew she Not only the old people, but the boys and girls of the home are glad of the opportunity of reading the news. They will lay aside their books in order to see w'hat the news is. Young peo ple generally read from two different motives, curiosity and an eager desire to know. They are greatly pleased with the social features which the papers present. When they chance j to see their own names, or the names of some of their friends on the printed sheet, then their hearts beat just a ' little faster,more warm blood rushes to j their'cheeks. Yes to the young people a * good newspaper i3 a true and faithful i companion, for it sympathizes with ! them in their trials and heartaches, i Aside from being a constant carrier j of news from the outside world to the 1 home, the newspaper is a bureau of ' general information for the good of ' the public. The ordinary man gets ^ the most of his ideas from the news- ! paper. The business man has no time j for the perusal of books, yet he will j manage somehov; to snatch a few ! thoughts from his newspaper.
