THOUGHTS FOB SUNSHINE.

Loving words will cost but little,
JOurneying up the hill of life;
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, Drawer for the strife.
Do you count them only trifles?
What to earth are sun and rain?
Never was a kind word wasted
Never was one said in vain.
There is no little and there is no much,
We weigh and measure and define in
vain
A look a word, a light responsive toucn,
Can be the ministers of joy to pain.
man can die Of hunger walled in gold,
A crumb may quicken hope to stronger
And every day we give as we withhold
Some little thing which tells for life
or death.
Sunshiners are earnestly requested to
send pleasant greetings to a dear old lady
whose birthday comes March 1. She
is a great Sunshine worker and a charm

Main Features of Report.
These are the main features OF the
report, the first OF which will be sur
prise to tho public:
Postmaster General Payne is given
the credit for beginning the lnvesiga-
ton.
Details of the inquiry into the cases
now before the courts are reviewed.
Abuses which have grown up under
the Vaccinations of the Beavers-Mach-
en- ring are related in unmistakable Ian
guage.
Thorough reorganization of the bu-
reaus Of which Beavers and Machen had
charge is recommended.
Abol1shing the office of superintend-
ent OF free delivery, formerly held by
Machen, is recommended
Administrative acts during the Perry
5. Heath tenure of Office as first assist
ant postmaster general are criticised Sc
Verely, although Heath is not named
directly.
The work Of the inspectors who were
brought into the postal scandal drag
net is given high praise.
Not one word of commentator for
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne, who in the beginning was
largely responsible for the investiga-
ton, Is contained in the report.

t1on OF the Washington city post Office,

asked to resign in spite of the personal
appeals to the president made by Post

DRY Smith.

SPECIAL SESSION ADJoURNS..
New jersey Legislature Concludes
TransactiOn of B1siness-Net
Result Of Meeting.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 20.-The second
special session of the New Jersey legis-
lature for the year 1903 adjourned sine
die at 1880 o'clock Monday No bust
ness was transacted by either house.
The net result Of the special session
was the passage OF three school bills
and two concurrent resolutions. The
school bills are first q general bill to
take the place Of the Mckee law; Sec
ond, a bill validating bond issues under
the Mckee act and, third, Assemblyman
Miller's bill which permits a contlnu-
ance of the consolidation Of certain bor-
oughs, townships and other municipal
tiles into single school districts Mr..
Miller's bill is a repetition of provision
of the Mckee law and was passed as
separate measure for fear the courts
might hold it unconstitutional. One Of
the concurrent resolutions provides for
the appointment by the governor of a
commission to investigate the recent
floods in the Passaic valley and to report
if any preventive legislation against fu-
ture floods is practicable. The second
resolution authorizes the governor of
this state to confer with the governor of
Pennsylvania, looking to joint legisla-
ton for free bridges across the Della
ware river between the two states.
