SUCCESS.

1t is sad parody on life to see man earning
his living by vocation which has never received
his approval. 1t is pitiable to see youth, with
the image of power and destiny stamped upon
him, trying to support himself in mean, con-
temptble occupation, which dwarfs his nature,
and makes him despise himself; an occupation
which is constantly condemuing him, ostracizing
him from all that is best and truest in life. Dig
trenches, shovel coal, carry hod; do anything
rather than sacrifice your self-respect, blunt
your sense of right and wrong, and shut
yourself off forever from the true joy of living,
which comes only from the consciousness of
doing ones best.-January "Success"

LITERARY NOTES.
LADIES HOME JOURNAL.

With General Lew Wallace and James
Whitcomb Riley as its deans, the Hoosier
School" of poets and authors is assuming a
prominent place in the field of American letters.
The late Maurice Thompson and Charles Major
and Booth darlington have each contributed
and are still adding to its fame, and now COM
parativcly new name is written besides these
Frederick NJ. Smith. Mr.. Smith is native of
Indiana, who confesses that he has "been trying
to learn to write for ten years." and also that the
reason his writings haven't appeared oflener is
not SO much his fault as the editors One of
his first stories to attract general attention was
"The Blue Gown that Wouldn't Fit" which
came out in The Ladies' Home Journal last
August. Since then he has contributed short
romance called "Christine" to the same maya
zine, and an interesting note abont this tale is
that it is not wholly a "child of invention"
The material for it was gathered in Germany
where the writer finished his education

AN UNSIGNED WARNING,

HHE POST received postal card Dec
l. 9th, mailed at Selinsgrovc and it reads
as follows:
"There is a party of strange picture agents
securing our county who have their head-quar-
ters in Chapman township right amongst the
small pox patients. Our people should be
acquainted with these facts so that they could
guard against them" Respectfully,
A. SUBSCRIBER.
We have paid very little attention to this
warning note, because the writer failed to reveal
his identity. In a matter of so grave import
ance, if this is true there would lie no o,c ssion
for the writer to withhold his name If the
writer wishes us to credit this story, he must
sign his name to it, not necessarily for publica-
ton, but to assure us that It was not coucocted
for malicious purposes.
A few weeks ago woman residing outside of
Lewistown went into one of the newspaper
officers and told the editor that one oftheir
children had the small pox and in order that
people might not expose themselves to danger,
the editor should sound note of warning by
publishing the fact in the newspaper. The
editor thanked the lady for taking such an
unusual interest in the welfare of other people.
The proceeding seemed ~ strange to the .pews-
paper man that he started an investigates and
discovered that the report was false and that the
entire property of her informant's husband was
levied by the sheriff and was t. be sold in few
days. The woman wanted the report circulated
SO as to keep purchasers away from the sale.
As the report is not signed we can not pin
much faith to its truthfutness, but there still
would be no harm in making inquiry where any
strangers have been prior to coming to your
homes.
1t is safe to assume, however, that picture
agents are wise enough for their own security
Not to waste anytime among small pox patients
We have given this ,signed communication
more attention than we usually do but we hav
done so for the purpose of showing those win
are in the habit of writing them, how little rea
consequence there must be in such letters whel
the authors are ashamed of their Names

A sIxTEEN-sHoT WEAPON.
Four Revolving Triggers Make Ex
 ceedingly Rapid Firing Possible

New Orleans Times-Democrat
 A most successful test has been given to a repeating revolver which promises to become one of the most commonly used weapons of its kind in any part of the world. The pistol fires sitxeen shots without reloading, and is accurate in ev- cry particular. It has but three working parts. is light in weight. can not possibly get out of order, and should any of the cartridges fail to fire, all that is neces- sary Is to press the trigger again to bring another cartridge into position and fire it.
 An explanation of the weapons opera ton is quickly and easily given. The handle of the pistol is the magazine, and contains a chain of sixteen cartridges This chain is moved with each pressure of tho trigger. the same pressure firing one cartridge and pushing the next into po- sition The pistol is so constructed that the trigger Is always ready to be pressed and. therefore the weapon can be fired as rapidly as the operator can press the trigger. There are four triggers, all of one piece of metal, and revolving so that while one of the triggers Is ready for the pressure of the finger, another is moving the hammer into position and a third Is ready to fall into place within the trigger guard,
 The three working parts of the pistol are trigger, the hammer and a spiral cone and they are arranged that to miss fire with this pistol is almost an absolute impossibity. Standard cartridges are used in the pistol. The weapon was in vented by w. J. Turnbul of New Or leans.
