The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1894-03-15

do everything; but to undertake or
pretend to do what you are not made
for, is not only shameful but ex-
tremelv troublesome and vexatious.
A postal clerk said, Tuesday, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla advertisements
for distribution in Centeral Pennsyl-
vania alone, completely filed two
mail cars running between Harris
burg and Altoona.
This life is such short one at best
that there is no wisdom in worrying
over the unpleasant happenings that
we cannot prevent. When citizen
has thrown his influence on the side
of the right he has done all that is
required of him, and has n right to
cultivate a cheerful disposition and
a hopeful expection for the future.
Who says more good things for a
town than n newspaper And the
one who tells the truth tells most.
A newspaper with evidence of sub
stantial support in its pages speaks
volumes for the town, If every trade
seeker has an advertisement in its
columns it proves that the people are
up with the times and favorably i'm
presses the stranger into whose
hands it chances to fall.
The Pennsylvania railroad is en-
deavoring to suspend freight train
running on Sunday as far as pos
sible, to the benefit of trainmen in
giving them needed rest and per-
mitting them to enjoy and observe
the Sabbath at home. At the Har-
risburg yards no freight except that
of a perishab.e character or of the
food class is sent out from o'clock
p. IN. Saturday night until Monday
1T 8 o. m.
At the commencement exercises
of the Carlisle Indian School one
poor girl spoke of the degrading in
fluences brought to bear on the
graduates when they go back home,
and pleaded for some law to spare
them from fate worse than death.
Her plea brought tears to the eyes
of those who heard her, and the
agency system was roundly denounc-
ed by everybody present. Abolish
the herding of Indians at agencies,
put them on farms, and this degrad-
ing of women will end.
A small boy got off the following
composition few days ago: "A school
marin is n verb because she denotes
action when you throw paper wads at
the girls. Switch is q conjunction
and is used to connect the verb
schoolmarm and the noun boy. This
is compound sentence Of which boy
is the subject and switch the object.
First person, plural number and aw-
full case. A schoolnarm's different
from boy; boy wears pants and
schoolmarm wears hair all banged
on her forehead. Ma says a school
marin never gets olderth Is before
she gets married.

We have seen quite a number of
watch chains in town ornamented
with a neat, little charm in the shape
OF a watch cgse opener, which obvi-
ates the use bf knife or fnger-nail
to open the yatch. We have just re-
ceived one, TOO. They are sent free
on request by the Keystone Watch
Case Company, of Philadelphia, Pa,
the largest watch case manufacture
ing concen in the world. They are
the makers of the celebrated Jas.
Boss cases, the only filed cases
which ire fitted with the world
famed Son-pull-out bow 1ing). The
Company does not sell at retail, but
its gods are sold by our local Jew
