ing in the report that he is to become

"Who weeps with you when you are
sad, and laughs at you when you are
glad, and smiles at you when you are
mad? The editor. Who has to be both
kind and wise, and never hardly every
lies, and when he does creates surprise?
The editor. Who owns a heart as we'll as
cheek, is possessed of spirit, proud, yet
meek, and lives on forty cents a week?
The editor"
The postal authorities at Washington
have made a ruling that the Herald,
which is published monthly by the
Equitable Aid Union and sent to every
member of the order, is not voluntary
subscription paper, and cannot be admit
ted to the mails at the usual rates for
newspapers. The last issue therefore
cost the order $4,000 for postage to send
to its membership.
1t is said that women have brought
back the ddnSe du centre from Chicago
and that classes are to be formed this
winter for teaching it on purely hy-
gienic grounds. 1t is no doubt very
healthful form of gymnastics, says the
Philadelphia Times, but like the Turkish
bath, it is the sort of thing that may be

would be relieved of much responsible
ty, and we might add, pain, if this fad
would take root and flourish.
A determined and almost successful at
tempt to ditch the Nypano passenger
train was made near Sugar Creek station
Tuesday night says the Franklin News.
Engineer Kelso had just whistled for the
station when he caught sight of some OBJ
struction on the track and put on the air
brakes and reversed his enjine. The
train was going at high rate of speed
but by almost miracle it was stopped
in time to prevent it from going into the
ditch, but not soon enough 10 prevent
the pilot of the eniine from striking a
pile of ties that had been wedged under
the rails and piled in the centre of the
track to height of two feet.
The finding Of human skeleton un-
der the kitchen floor at No. 1850 North
Eleventh street, Philadelphia, last Mon
day, supposed to be the bones of JONAH
ma Logue, wife Of Jimmie" LOgue, the
notorious and widely known burglar

her relatives accused her husband of

the most daring and successful burglar
les ever committed in the Gil regions in
