The Harrisburg Telegraph says: In
response TO an inquiry from Steelton,
Deputy Attorney General Stranabam has
written: "This question does not come
within the functions of this department
for answer, but would say to you unof-
ficially that 1 know of no law prohibiting
judge of election at a spring election to
sit on board and be voted for. 1t is diff
ferent if he were candidate for q coun-
ty or state Office"
An exchange hits the nail on the
head when it says: Newspaper men are
not infallible. Their memories are like
those of other men. They frequently
omit the mention of things they promise
to make note of. And when this occurs
no amount of explanation can remove
from the minds of some the impression
that the omission was purposely made.
One of the pleasant things in the life of
reporter is to be assailed for slip of the
memory. 1t is too bad, but it can't be
helped. The scribes reach heaven just as
quickly, however, and that's one conso-
lation."

intendent of schools has received the ap-
pointment of Deputy State Superinten-
tendent of Public instruction. Prof
Lords numerous friends will be graft
fed by his appointment to higher pos
ition than he has hitherto filled in the ed
ucational ranks. The duties OF his re.
sponsible effice will probably lead to his
removal to Harrisburg with his family
Franklin Netos. Prof Lord has host of
friends among the educational fraternity
of Forest county, all of whom will re-
ceive the news of his appointment with

The fad of wearing a live chameleon
is becoming popular with some fellows,
and even young lady here and there
sports one of the varmints. The Warren
Democrat speaks of seeing young lady
of that place with one of the pets. It
has a gold chain around its neck, and
when pinned to the waist of the dress it
runs about her neck and shoulders with
as much of an "at home' feeling as if in
itsi Florida home. The chameleon is a
bright, little lively reptile, looking just
like crocodile (not alligator) in minis-
ture. But that girl could find pleasure
in petting them, while at the same time
holding a mouse in frantic aversion
we'll it's funny.
There is probably no one who writes
good many letters but has seen the time
when he would give good deSi to get a
letter back out of the post Office after it
has been mailed. 1t took the Postoffice
Department long time to arrive at the
decision to grant the public this privi-
lege. At last there has been a ruling by
the department that the writer of a letter
can recover it even after it has arrived at
its designation and before il has been de-
livered to the person to whom it is ad-
dressed, provided he can prove to the
satisfaction of the postmaster that he is
the writer and provided still further that
he can get telegram through in time to
head the letter off.
The Clay is all Right.
