BRIEF HENTION.

Some pei ons are never satisfied with
anything in the world except them
selves.
1t doesn't do always to judge man
by sentiment; the pickpocket has very
touching ways.
When a mans conscience ceases to
trouble him, he has ceased to trouble
himself about his conscience.
If the women took up with any style
that was half as ugly as a stovepipe hat,
the men would refuse to marry them.
The illustrated Dubois Courier is a
beauty, the best we have yet received.
The work is fine and must result to the
advantage of the lumber city.
The pitcher that goes to the we'll too
often is liable to get broken, and like
wise the head that gets boozy and falls
into scrap too often.
A little girl when asked by friend,
with whom she was spending the day,
"what kind of food does your father
like?" replied, "Oh most any kind ma
ma hasn't got"
Engineer Fred Probst, who was &C.
verely injured in freight wreck near
Emporium, last Wednesday, is now on
fair way to recovery. He is still at
the home of his daughter at North
Bend.-Renovo Record
Editors sometimes get into trouble
when no trouble is dreamed of, as did
the Missouri editor who thought he was
writing a very nice obituary notice.
In speaking of respected old lady in
his town he made his paper say: ''She
was a devoted Christian until about
four years ago when she joined the
Presbyterian church."-Era.
The printers dollars where are they?
A dollar here and dollar there, scat
tered over numerous small towns, miles
and miles apart. How shall they be
gathered in? Come home, you are
wanted. Come in single file that we
may send you forth again to battle for
US and vindicate our credit Reader,
are you sure you have not one of the
printers dollars sticking to the bottom
of your trousers pocket? Feel down
and see if we are not right.-Ex.
An exchange says: "In a western
town the Odd Fellows hall is located
on floor above the opera house. On
arecent lodge night when the initiatory
degree was being conferred a gas ex-
plosion took place in the opera house
beneath. The floor of the lodge room
was raised six feet and the ceiling came
down to meet ii. The members, of
course, fled panic stricken. Eventually
one of the braver ones returned and
found the candidate standing in the
debris waiting for the rest of it'' 1t
took several minutes to convince the
candidate that the explosion was not
part of the regular performance"
According to publication in recent
issue of the Harrisburg Telegraph, eth
er Lewis Emery, Jr., or some of his
friends, are not satisfied with the fact
that the people of this district repudi-
ated the Bradford mans aspirations to
go to Congress. Here is what the Tel
egraph has to say: "While Lewis EN-
cry lies writhing from the blow given
him by Congressman Sibley, his fool
friends come forward and attempt to
start boom for him for United States
Senator. Mr.. Emery ought to be given
a chance to recover from the Sibley
solar plexus swat before he is again
brought to the front as mark"
Representative Sibley has introduced
into the House bill to amend the Con-
stitution so as to make the term Of the
President and Vice President six years
instead of four years, with no re-elec-
tion for the former. In lieu of "a re-
election, the President, when his term
expires, becomes life senator without
vote, at salary to be fixed by law.
The theory is that if President when
he takes charge of the office knows that
he cannot be reelected he will devote
his best efforts toward making a good
record, and will uot be handicapped by
his efforts to secure denomination.
In making ex-Presidents life Senators
at nominal salary they will be kept
from again plunging into the busy
walks of life, and the people will have
in the Senate the experience that they
gained while acting as chief executive
of this nation of 100000 freemen.-
