No wonder if he gets o swelled head
upon his departure.
1t Is rumored that free mail deliyery
will be introduced in Lewisburg within
the next six months. This will be
hailed with delight by the patrons OF
the local postofiice, as the congested
condition of the place during disturb.
ing hours, especially in the evening,
causes considerable Inconvenience.
Quite u number of inquiries came
from different parts of Snyder county
during the past week for booklet on our
ad writing course. The methods taught
In this course are approved by John
Wanamaker and other large adver.
tisers. School teachers, clerks and
other bright young men and women
should ask for booklet.
Any one who has spoonful of good
brains and an ounce of common sense
can master the problems Of ad writing.
An ad on the last page Of the Ladies'
Home Journal costs $1,000 for single
issue. An advertiser who pays such
q large price for space would not hesi.
tate to pay $500 to 5000 for the right
kind of an ad to fill such valuable
space. Those who wish to learn ad
writing should address the P0sT.
City papers state that Miss Maude
Johnson, of near Bixler post-ofiice,
was found early Sunday morning wan
dering in demented condition in the
vicinity of Market and Juniper streets,
Philadelphia. Miss Johnston Is the
young school teacher who was found
and gagged in the Liberty N...vy
school house some months ago. The
whole affair was suspicious. Her con-
dition is the outgro with, it is asserted,
of unrequited love.
Orders have been posted at different
points along the New York division of
the Pennsylvania Railroad prohibiting
employees from trequenting saloons
whether on or off duty. Another order
issued prohibits smoking cars or cigar
cites, or chewing tobacco while on
duty, and a number of passenger train
men who have neglected to obey this
order were suspended for a short time
and warned not to repeat the offense.
1t is understood now that similar ord
ers will be posted on all divisions of the
Pennsylvania system east and west of
Pittsburg.
Blair county puts the names of pro-
minent candidates for Governor on the
primary ticket and gives the voters an
opportunity to express their preference.
The delegates to the State Convention
thus get the wishes of the majority of
the voters of the party and are in hon
or bound to vote in the convention as
thus directed. Why should not all
counties adopt the same rule, thus al
lowing the people to choose the candi-
date, With such action there would
be no excuse for any Republican who
believes in majority rule, failing to
support the ticket.
"People frequently change their resi-
dence and when they 60 away, many
of them forget to pay their subscription
to the local paper and it is thrown into
the post-offlce box and marked "gone."
If people understand themselves that
would be the last bill they would for
get to pay. They go into a new place
as utter strangers and the people with
whom they are brought in contact and
must have business relations with,
very naturally want to know their
standing in the community they left.
Some of them will write back to find
out and the two men they write to are
the postmaster and the editor of the
local paper. What kind of a. recon-
mendation could yon give man who
slipped off and left several years sub
scription unpaid. ."-Centreville lowe

When girl of sixteen Is seen on the
streets she has cute way of tossing
her head as though she owned the
earth and was going to the middle of
the next block to get 1t. After she is
eighteen the world she owns is about
as far as the Paris exposition was to
the most Of us and at twenty she gives
up oil hopes of ever getting it at all.
BY the time she was twenty-five she
has a vague suspicion that there is a
greal deal of insincerity in this world
and the thing for her to do is to get a
position and do something useful.
After a few years she gets married to q
who isn't at all the sort of man she
dreamed of. Then she concludes she
is better of In heaven.-West Point
Republican.
