THE HOME PAPER.

The bosom of the country editor would swell with pride if he could ride uptown on an elevated train on the afternoon of Friday or Saturday on any week in the year. On these two days a great many business men give only a hasty glance at the evening paper, and then immediately draw from a pocket a copy of a paper that is in marked contrast to the city papers, as far as type and general appearance go. The type is invariably larger, and the display of advertising and heads to news articles areoomraonly smaller. The ink is not always spread evenly over the page. Nevertheless the business man opens the paper to the page devoted to news and reads every line there. After that he not infrequently reads the village advertisements and gives a brief look at the editorials. The city man used to live in the village where that paper was printed, and he recognizes the names printed there as those of old acquaintances, perhaps friends. The village paper to him is like a letter from home. Ho may get it by subscription; more frequently it is from lovibg friends at the old home, who wrap it up and send it after the family there have read it.—New York Press.
