STATE READING CIRCLE.


The State reading circle, which
is ali organization in connection with
the common school system, got a
black eye from the appellate court
when the full bench concurred in an
opinion declaring that the township
could not be made liable for the
payment for books purchased by
the trustcae for the reading circle s
use. The court says that the propo-
sition that township trustees are the
sole judges of the merits Of books
and their adaptability to the wants
of the young is preposterous, and
that it will not extend the statute so
that "every designing sharper
shrewd manipulator and bold and
unscrupolous speculator may prey
upon the people through unwary
trustees.

Reflections Of 4 Bachelor.

When a man forgives a woman
he forgives her; when a woman for.
give man she reminds him of il
afterward.
A baby show with six sets ol
triplets and thirty sets OF twins is
the best soil in the world to grow
old bachelors.
Women like to take care of men
when they are sick, because they
know its the only time they can
get them at disadvantage.
When a man tries to impress peo-
pie he keeps quiet when he ought to
talk; when woman tries it, she
talks when she ought to keep quiet
A woman may make fool OF her
self in good many ways, but a
man sometimes makes a good many
fools of himself in the same way.

When gas was first struck here
many people claimed that it would
not last over three days. That the
well would give out and the company
be no better off than at the begin
ming. That drilling was a useless
expenditure of money anyway that
sensible man would have more
judgement than to sink his money
in worthless hole in the ground.
The splendid results attained by
Mr.. Wooley and bis CO. workers have
silenced the croakers and made a
gas enthusiast of every one in town.
At the present time there is every
indication that the gas well is a per-
manent feature of the town. Ex-
perts who have examined it pro-
nounce it one of the finestt they have
ever seen ,and the water gushing out
at intervals of two minutes and forty
seconds makes it one of the most
beautiful sights it has ever been our
pleasure to witness. Thousands
and thousands of people have seen
it and declare that it is one of the
most picturesque sights that the eye
OF man has ever seen. Imagine a
stream white as milk, ten inches in
diameter at the bottom, shooting
straight upward in the air to height
of 100 IT. for period of two minutes.
Talk about the great geyser and
Niagara Falls; right here at home
we have a wonder that excites the
unbounded admiration of all who
have seen these wonderful natural
phenomenon.
The courage of the promoters of
the Gas Well has been raised to the
highest pitch. All are eager to con-
tInue the work and the men who
are busy drilling here now are good
for stay of at least year, for the
promoters of the gas well are yet
of striking oil, and Mr..
Wooley who is the father of the
whole business is very confident that
oil can be found here. He guessed
at the depth at which pas would be
struck and only missed it about sew
en- feet, consequently the directors
have great confidence in his Judge
ment.
Work on the new well will be be-
gun just as soon as the casing for
the old one is put in. 1t is not
known just where the new one will
be put in, but it is supposed that it
will be located on the Washington
Road.
Every day property here is ad-
locations are being sought;
people in the country are arranging
o move to town; new men are COM /,
ng in; strangers, gas men and
spectators from the northern part of |
he state are arriving and business
lere is improving That we stand !
n the shadow of approaching pros I,
'erlty there is no doubt, the future
$ bright with everything coming =
ur way we have every reason to be !
thankful and happy. \

Said Mrs. Spooner, wife Of the
good deacon of Plymouth, one Sun
day evening while the conversation
with her husbands callers turned
towards young culprit that had
gotten into Jail, "Well, hunger'll
break through stone walls, as the
Good Book says" Mrs. Spooner
"didn't know all CREATION" and
the visitor inquired, in the spirit OF
rebuke, "what good book, pray ?"
With the blandest smile Deacon
Spooner came to the rescue OF his
wife, and replied, "The Good Book
OF Proverbs, my dear sir" The
story illustrates how readily the
"Good Book of Proverbs" may be
made to bear all sorts OF burdens in
the way of smart sayings. 1t is a
curious fact that Laurence Sterne's
maxim, "God tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb" has been sought
for, time and again, in Holy Writ.
But the whole thing is as old as the
hills, and has been traced back way
beyond Sterne's era. In one of its
earlier forms, il appeared in the
words: "To close shorne sbeepe,
God gives wind by measure. This
is the form in the "Jacula Pruden-
tum" of Herbet of Cherbury.
Even this old form must have been
appropriated from the French Littre
giving it, "A brebis tondne Dieu
mesure lie vent" Proverbs, say a
modern writer, should be served
upon small dish, like radishes, a
few at time and carefully selected.
"Once bit, twice shy" is not . bad
one, signifying about the same
thing as the common saw: "a
burnt child breads the fire."
The French have an equivalent,
which in an old English translation
reads: "Scalt cats dread cold
water" 1t is an old idea that for
tune favors the deserving. But the
Latin writer's were nearer the truth.
Fortuna vitrea est; tum quinn
splendet frangitur." That is, in
words that DR.. Holmes might use
Fortune. brittlest OF critters,
Breaks to shivers while she gltters."
Dumas at one time took down an
actual conversation that had world
of meaning, as many Of the pitiless
French proverbs possess. In the
English the conversation ran: "We
must help the Lord when we can,
sir" This recalls Carlyle's Scotch
ancedote: "Weel, Laird, God
mend ALL" said Donald. SAY,
Donald, man" said the laird, "but,
by God, we maun help Him to mend
them" Peasants work." says an
Did French writer, "because they
have the strong desire not to lack
bread in their old age. The more
they fear, the more they work"
= True SCIENCE" says the same writ
r, "from the art Of making guinea
l-n hatch to the art of making
'Atala' pictures, consists
N examining with the greatest pos
idle exactness the circumstances OF
acts" As the "Good Book of
'roverbs" might express the
hought, there is no success in life
hat is not earned step by step by
ttention to facts.

1t may as well be known now that
the county chairman Mr.. Morgan
will have nothing to do with appoint
ments Of Postmasters i'm this county.
His recommendations have so far
been disregarded, and he does not
|care to make recommendations that
are not needed, 80 those who write
TO him are wasting their time as he
will not hold himself responsible
for appointments made contrary to
his recommendations. II seems
that the present congressman is de-
termined to ruin himself by his blind

every other political force in the
district. What is the matter with
him none can tell, but it is more

in as obnoxious a manner as pos
sible by insulting those who have
been his friends.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE EDITOR
HE'LL GET ON.
1t takes money run newspaper-saint
John (kan News.


John (kan News.
What an aggregation; what g
whopper. 1t has been disproved q
thousand times it is a clear case
of airy fancy. 1t doesn't take mon
ey to run newspaper. 1t can
run without money. 1t is not a
business venture. 1t is charita-
BILE institution, begging concern,
a highway robber. A newspaper is
the child of the air, creature of a
dream. 1t can 60 on and on, any
any other concern would be in the
hands of receiver and wound up
with cobwebs in the windows.
1t takes wind to run a newspaper !;
1t takes gall to run newspaper.
1t takes scintillating, acrobatic
imagination and half dozen white
shirts, and railroad pass to run a
newspaper. But money-heavens
to Betsy and six hands round, who
ever needed money in conducting a
newspaper? Kind words are the
medium of exchange that do the
business for the editor-kind words
and church social tickets. When
you see an editor with money,
watch him. He'll be paying his
bill and disgracing his profession.
Never give money to an editor.
Make him trade it out. He likes
to swap.
Then when you die, after having
stood around for years and sneered
at the editor and his little jim crow
paper, be sure and have your wife
send in for three extra copies by one
of your weeping children, and when
she reads the generous and touching
notice about you, forewarn her to
neglect to send Is cents to the edi-
tor. 1t would overwhelm him.
Money is a corrupting thing. The
editor knows it, and what he wants
is your heartfelt thanks. Then
he can thank his printers and they
can thank their grocers.
Take your job work to the job
office, and then come and ask for
half rates for the chnrch notices
Get your lodge letter-heads and
stationery printed out of town, and
then flood the editor with beautiful
thoughts in resolutions of respect
and cards of thanks. They make
such spicy reading and when you
pick it up filled with these glowing
md vivid mortuary articles, you are
10 proud of your little local paper.
But money-scorn the filthy
hing. Don't let the pure, innocent
EDITOR know anything about it.
Keep that for sordid trades people
Who charge for their wares. The
EDITOR gives his bounty away. The
Lord loves cheerful giver. He'll
axe care of the editor. Don't wor-
y about the editor. He has char
er from the State to act as doormat
or the company. He will get the
'aper out somehow; and stand up !.
or the town, and whoop it up for
ou when you run for office. and lie
bout your your pigeontoed daugh-
er's tacky wedding, and blow about
our big-footed sons when they get '
