Worlds Fair and the South.

The forthcoming Worli's Fair will mean a great deal for the South ]; in fact, it's influence will Ee felt more than any exposition ever held in the United States. Not only will the visitors from all Northern, Eastern and West ern States make what are com monly called side trips into every nook and corner of the South, but St. Louis is essentially Southern in many respects, and it's aceessi- bility to all Southern territory wlIl make possible a larger at- tendance from the sm aller cities in the Louisiana Purchase and from all sections south of the Mason and Dixon line. Many of tie Southern States are to be rep. resented by buildings, and there has heen an interest manifested in this exposition by Southern manufacturers which will attract many million of dollars to the South. The po.tponement of the fair for one year will give ample time for he foreign exhibitors to he represented, and the Louisiana
 Purchase Exposition will open
 more nearly complete than any oi it's predecessors.

The Proposed Amendment.

The Democrats has called at tention to the proposed eonstitu- tIonal amendment permitting the enactment of a law putting legls- lators on a salary and the subject has received some little attention from the press with in the past few days. It is important that this amendment should be adopt ed at the September election. There are seventy-tive papers car lying the proposed amendment us an advertisement and these at least should call the attention of inc voters to the advantages that must result from such law. 1t would be setback to tbe state if this amendment should fail for the lack of tLe necessary majority. It is certain that if legislators are put on d salary there will be no more long, useless sessions. It is certain that n better class of men will come to the legislature. The e nsequence will be better laws in every way, wiser disposition of difficult questions with less effort to make political capital out of matters that may arise iii the nat ural course of events. The legis- lature is q great school for the political demagogue. Men with small ability will possibly be crowded out by better men, and thus we shall save the expense of the time consumed by the fellow who occasionally breaks i'll to the legislature and imaeines 1t his duty to discuss every question and to give the people the benefit ef his views on any matter tha. may arise. Altogether the amend ment proposed will help the state in various ways. The newspapers will be recreant to their duty if inc neglect to impress their read ers with the importance of voting for ihis amendment. .-Arkansas Democrat.

The Price of Success.

Among the many lessons taught
 by today none is impressed often
 CT or with more force than that
 contained in the familiar saying,
 "N hatever Is worth dong IS
 worth doing we'll" In the arts.
 in trade, Ill every branch of in-
 dustyy, thoroughness is the price
 of success. Of course, fortunate
 man may achieve moderate success
 without becoming thorough in his
 business, but the instances are
 very few. Because a man keeps grinding away at the same old wheel year after year, you are not justified in looking upon him as one who has succeeded, True, he has managed to get along, but it was probably at the cost of heavy drain on the powers Of both mind and body, and as he is still as far away from the goal of his ambition as on the day he began the journey, he can only be class ed with the failures, if he is class ed at all.
 It is the thorough man who runs the world today. Be he novelist or poet, inventor or promoter, capitalist or tradesman, diplomat or soldier, the worlds $ honors go to the man who knows his busi- ness, not only knows it. hut has made 1t a part of his very life. Once III while a fraud creeps in- to the temple, but Shen the test comes, as 1t always must, he fails because he has not given himself to his task, and is bundled out to be laughed at and kindly permit ted to drop back into obseurity. Take few of the worlds great men. Klpling, poet and novelist Kitchener, the soldier Morgan, the capitalist and promoter Edi- son. the inventor: all owe theil success to thoroughness. Moth ing was left to chance. They worked conscientiously, drawing without stint on their mental powers, and if fortune seemed to favor them at times, no man. can say that they were not deserving. President Roosevelt IS another example. Chance made him presi- dent, perhaps only few years be- fore he would have won 1t in the usual way, but chance had noth- ing to do with the prominence that he gained and the successes he scored in the years that pre- Ctutu lio ClCfdtiOii lO tliC ffIc~ presidency.
 In the centuries that have pass ed strong men came to the front by sheer force of character, and some of them were thorough in the life parts they had chosen to play, but many wanderers sue ceedcd because they blundered less than their rivals. Today man must fit himself for the stlug- gle. If he is worthy of success, and salters not in the face of ob- stacles, he may triumph, but every thing depends on thoroughness. If he lacks that he will never be heard from when Success calls he roll = San Francisco Bulletin.

Walter Reunion.

n. S. Walter of Johnstown, made a
pleasant call at this office last Thurs.
day. Mr.. Walter is Interested in the
matter of n family reunion Of all the
Walters in America. He thinks that
some day next August should be set
for Walter reunion in Snydsr Coun-
ty. The Walter family IS large and
there is scarcely family in Snyder
County to-day that is not interested or
related, in some way to some branch of
the Walter family. The Post would like
to see a gathering of this large and IL
fiuental family and this notice is
given at this time to get those most in
terested to thinking about the matter.
Since the above was put in type a
meeting was held in this place and it
was decided to have Walter reunion
either the first or second week in
September in Red Bridge Grove, one
mile west of town. The reunion is TO
last one week. Those who wish to
camp can do so. There will be one day
for the reading of the family history
and the general reunion. Full par
ticulars will be given later.

Took CarbOlic Acid In Mistake.

Mrs. 1. B. Romig, who for some time
has been in i'll health, Monday after
noon took dose Of carbOlic acid mis-
taking it for q liniment she has been
accustomed to take. Mrs. Romig was
alone in the house, when her daughter,
Miss Sallie, who was attending the
funeral Of Homer Thompson, came
home and found her mother In bed suf-
fering great agony. Sallie at once gave
the alarm to the neighbors. DR.. b. F.
Wagenseller was hurriedly summoned
who upon learning Of the seriousness
of the affair called DR.. F. J. Wagensel-
ler to his assistance. The doctors made
a hasty examination and upon discov.
ering the fact that the patient was sui.
fering from taking carbolic acid they
promptly resorted to heroic measures.
BY means Of the stomach pump the
poison was removed and the life Of Mn.
Romig was saved.--Tribune. Mn.
Romig has since died.

The Farmer To-day.

1t used to be imagined that any
bl0ckhead could farm. But now 1t
takes q genius on the fsrm to kosp out
q the reoehousA. yte r - -,lline
ars there 20 many contingencies and
uncertain factors. Keeping store and
running a mill is confined to four walls
and definite constituency Of patrons.
The farm depends on every wind that
blows and frost that falls-and every
vagary of sky. No book can expound
what q farmer must do in handling his
particular price Of land or forewarn
him as to the best time to market.
Men may live u lifetime on the farm
before they learn just how to run it
profitably.
The past generation has been a sad
time for farmers. The readjustment
forced the virgin lands Of the west and
railroad discrimination in carrying
grains pinched the eastern farmers
sorely. But agriculture is catching up,
the poor farmers reviving. The cul'
ture of fruit, the development Of the
dairy and the restoration of the little
things will SLOWLY increase farm values
if farmers have but the sense to guard
their own interest and vote men into
office who will protect agriculture.
American agriculture will again be
successful-there can he no true and
permanent prosperity without 1t. Ire.
mendous educational influences are be.
hind it and the time will surely come
when the farm will be restored to the
first rank in social economy and will
reap profits commensurate with the
skill and effort employed. God put
the first man on the farm and nC
calling can compare with it in variety
and charm to q sensitive mind. The
man in factory behind a machine
doing the same work every day knows
nothing of the eternal freshness 'o
that mans life who works behinG
the machine we call nature. To be al
outdoor man, to take into ones spirit
all the varying moods Of nature, to b,
kin to every bird and beast-to greet
the sun at dawn and lie down at nigh
with a good conscience-that IS life
worth living.

Letter TO Geo. w. Wagenseller,
MIDDLEBURGH, PA.

Dear Sir: Is n gallon Of paint q gallon
of paint, or half-a-gallon? Sometimes
one sometimes the other. +. y. Lynch,
and his predecessor, Delhi, n. y. sold q
well-known Mixed Paint for twenty
years-It'sa good paints as mixed paints
go.
N. Avery owns two houses exactly
alike there. He painted one four years
ago with this Mixed Paints-took
twelve gallons. Last spring, he painted
with Devoe bought II gallons and
had six gallons left. Same painter: Geo.
Gilbert. Same result, so far rs it looks
go.
But the point of the tale is: 1st, That
paint is dear or cheap according to
what it is; no matter about the price.
2nd That gallon ofone kind Of paint
can contain twice as much paint as a
gallon Of another kind of paint.
Devoe goes twice as far as Mixed
Paint-two to one-but that isn't all.
This story, however, skips the rest
how it wears.
Another, some town. erguson &
Thompson's store was painted some
years ago with this same Mixed Pain
80 gallons Repaintei last spring with
Devoe.
Mr.. Lynch said l6 gallons would be
enough. They have 8 gallons. left.
Yours trujey,
+. w. DEvoE Il Co.

The Fish Net Law.

~VtA1kAUubc00D0s
Since the passage Of the Act Of May
29th, 1901, . general craze has arisen
among people living along the larger
streams to fish with nets and some
have 20 many Of them that they can
hardly remember where they have
them all set. We learn from reliable
sources that while the law allows fish,
ing with nets, nearly all Of those who
are fishing violate the Sth section Of
said Act and are in great danger Of be-
ing prosecuted and fined heavily. For
the benefit Of your readers kindly pub
lish portion Of the said ection, viz :
'"That each fyke net shall have attach
e d thereto q metallic tag bearing,
legibly marked thereon, the name and
address Of the owner thereof. Any
such person or persons, violating the
provisions Of this section, shall on con-
viction thereof as provided In section
thirty-eight Of this Act, he subject to
fine Of twenty five dollars for each
fyke net placed In violation Of the pro
visions of this section, and also to q
fine of ten dollars for each fish unlaw-
fully kept, together with forfeiture OF
nets and all other appliances, so used,
to the Fish Commissioners"
BY an earlier act all the cOnstables
are made ex-officio Game and Fish
Wardens and are compelled to see that
all laws are enforced.

EARNINGS OF INVENTORS.

Fsom the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The inventor of fifty or sixty years
ago was more often out at the elbow s
than well paid. But George w. Walsh
gathers for Gunton's Magazine statis-
tics that modern inventing has become
profitable and that as rule inventors
are now well rewarded. The inventor
Of the metal shoe-buttOn fastener made
a fortune, and the inventor Of the
wooden shoe peg made half million
dollars. The suspender-garter inven-
ton was sold outright for $4,000, and
the glass lemon squeezer brought as
much.
The inventor of the ball and socket
glove fastener has received in royalties
nearly million dollars. and the inven-
ton Of tbs double ball clasp for pocket
books and bags paid its inventor $780,
600, and the automatic tin-can opener
brought a fortune to the inventor.
The modern shipping tag, the i'm
proved safety pin, the rubber pencil
tip, the hook and eye with hump, the
|an1uunAGie lock and brake, the bicynls
whistle and bell have al brcught to
tleix ksvesss,.s tseaslswis ee uo,,seuds
of collars.
So mucn tor the invenJOn whose
names are rarely heard among the
thousands who USE their inventions.
But the great inventors Of modern
times have most Of them become mil
lionaires. Elias Howe, the inventor OF
the sewing machine, realized $1,000
600 from his patents. Alexander Ora.
ham Bell made several millions from
his patents. Cyrus H. Mccormick, i'll
ventor Of the reaping machine, realized
a net profit of Sl0,OOO,OOO.
George Henry Corliss amassed for
tune of s., 100000 Samuel Colt, of re
volver fame, and Hayward A. Harvey
the inventor of the Harveyized stee
armor-plate process, both were million
aires. Mr.. Edison counts his fortune
in the millions. Elihu Thompson, the
inventor of electric welding and braz
ing, and Westinghouse, inventor Of the
air brake, reaped immense fortunes
from their patents, and Tesla, careless
as he is of pecuniary rewards, is earn.
ing hundreds of dollars every year.
Mr.. Walsh uses Edison, Thompson
and Tesla to illustrate the type of in
ventor who earns both reputation and
wealth. The names of such men have
become household words all over the
civilized world. Independent of thi,
class is the larger class in whose rank.
are hundreds and thousands who max,
respectable fortunes without enchan
ing their regulations because their in
ventions become the property of ant
are handled by manufacturers.
The conclusion is that in this day
discoveries or inventors go unrewardet
and that the figure of the modern in
ventor is less pathetic than the old be
cause there is in his career so little o
struggle, proverty and privation.
