pass without adding tribute to one whom
we esteemed and loved as a brother. DR..
Pursel had lived and practiced his profess

that short time he could count his friends
by the hundred. Even people who did
not employ him as physician, respected
him as man. He was possessed of every
quality which we love most to see in a

ing humanity, thoroughly impressed with
and devoted to the duties and responsible
tiles of his life, retaining still the same
happy disposition and genial manners OF
his early life, he had endeared himself to
us in so many ways that now void is left
that never can be filed but he has left in
our hearts deep and lasting love, and al
though he has passed beyond the reach OF
our love and devotion he will still live in
our memories until time is no more DR..
Pursel died Christian. A visit by the
writer to him just the day before he died
convinced us that he was ready and will
ling to die if the good Lord so willed. He
was at peace with all the world, and died
in the blessed hope of life hereafter free
from care and suffering, He was close
student OF human nature and entered into
complete sympathy with his patients. He
was born physician. He was upright
and honest to a fault in his dealings with

The improprety of trying law cases by
public gossip, instead of remitting them to
the legally constituted courts, was recent
ly illustrated in Lycoming county. A man
named Huggler was committed for cruel
treatment to child, and at the time pub
lie sentiment was so strongly against him
that there wa. great fear of the admins
tration of bodily injury through lynching.
At the Iccent trial the charge was proven
maliciously false, the case abandoned by
the district attorney and the jury charged
by the Court to return verdict of not
guilty, which they did without leaving the
box. 1t would be better If public sentiment
in all cases were tempered to await the i'm
partial evidence of the truth as elected
through lawful methods.

Three Fishermen.

Three fishermen went gally out into the North
out into the North ere the sun was high,
And they chuckled with glee as they sailed FORTH
Resolved to capture the trout-or die.
For men will flsh, and men win lie
About the trout they ''caught on the hyn
Their Sunday school lessons scornng.
Three fishers lay under the trees at noon
And 'blamed" the whole OF the f1nny race;
For never nibble touched 1y or spoon,
And each sighed as he wet the hole In his face
For men will flsh and men will lie,
And the way they caught trout when nobody's
nigh,
Is something to tell--in the morning
Three fishermen came into town at night.
And their 'speckled beauties" were fair to see
They talked of their sports with keen delight
The envy OF all the fraternity.
But men will flsh and men Will lle
And what they can't catch they're sure to buy,l
And never repent in the morning.

there is deadlock on the question OF tax
rate. There was vote taken on 10 mills,
10 mills, 0 mills and 10 mills, but no rate
was agreed upon. The necessities of the
town demand pretty high rate, and as
the indebtedness must be paid some time, q
sufficient tax should be laid to keep down
the floating debt at least. There is no
economy in making low tax, ana then is
suing bonds at the end of the year to cover
the increased indebtedness.

long before the Doctor dreamed Of adver-

would say to his patients, This is my fa-
