In recognition of his prompt response to the call of humanity in rescuing the passengers of the illfated Titanic, Captain Aruthur H. Rostrdn, then in command of the steamship Carpathia, - has been awarded the cross of honor by the American Cross of Honor March 1 next. On the same day the medal awarded to Captain Rostron will be presented to him by President Taft. An exchange tells the story of a boy who was sent to market with a sack of rabbits, lingering around town all day and coming back without sealing them. When asked by his mother why he had not sold the rabbits, he said no one asked him what was in’the sack. How many of our merchants are like this little boy? They have plenty of goods for sale but fail to tell the people.what is in the sack. If you expect to sell goodtf In this day and age, you must open your sack and keep shouting the merits of jour stock in trade. The Republican may have conveyed a wrong impression concerning the death of Mrs. William Brake a few days ago. It was stated that she might have recovered had she had proper nursing and that the husband and father did about all the nursing that was done. Two neighbors, Mrs. D. M. Worland and Miss Rosa Beck, spent much time at the house and gave the poor toman all the aid they could, and, it is stated, urged her to go to the hospital, but this she stoutly refused to do. Our informant states that they were in great poverty and it is believed the woman’s remorse at being In such wretched circumstances was responsible for her refusal to go to the hospital. Mrß. Worland and Miss Beck proved good Samaritans and did all they could for the unfortunate woman. We can sell you a first-class spreader at a lower price than you can buy of any cheap datalogue house.
