Tbe man who runs the local end of a
country newspaper learns in due seas-
on that he must not expect even brief-
ly expressed thank e for any of the
pleasant t binge limey say about people,
but he knows to a moral, certainty that
the slightest ruffle of another's feathers
will call down maledictions upon his
head. He may give .a complimentary
notice in his paper hundreds of times
and never hear of it, b ut let him just
hint. at some of the shortcomings of
the same man and he will make a life

learns not to expect thanks or consider-
