CTS, he would have added prohibitive codieil to his testamentary advice
 It is now proposed to bring the glori- ous Fourth here in Massachusetts to a more rational and less hoInieidal basis. The law now before the legislature for bids the sale, or exposure for sale, Of .firecrackers more than three inches in length and one-half of an inch in diam eter, and of all fire-crackers containing dynamite or other high explosives. oth- Ter than gunpowder, and of toy pistols, toy cannon and blank cartridges"
 This covers the really exigent mat ter. when it is followed by like provi- sion against setting of any of these .perilous explosives. The great number of painful deaths from Ioclsjaw, which follow the celebration of the Fourth of July every year, are caused by toy pis- tols. Last year there were 4, 45S of such injuries in the northern states. What lis the use of this annual torture and slaughter of the innocents? We have a law against the sale of whiskey to chil- dren; and whiskey does not kill as surely and as cruelty as the top pistol and the dynamite cracker.-Boston Post,

A Philadelphia man. who is a To- comotive engineer. was brought into court on the complaint of his wife that he did not support her. Defendant ad- mitted leaving the woman, but pleaded in excuse that because Of her nagging he had no peace in his home. This ale gation he proved. whereupon Judge Davis said: "A man who has the care of hundreds of lives in his hands should be soothed instead of annoyed when he comes home. Peace of mind is one of the essentials of careful workmanship at the throttle. and a wife. by pestering her husband. may endanger the lives intrusted to his keeping as an engin- eer." The accused was ordered to pay s5 week for the support of his little girl. but the judge refused to compel him to provide for his wife.
 One swallow doesn't make a summer and nagged husbands wont make sum- mer by showing this decision to their wives. But it is something in the dearth of same for nagged husbands to know that their sad condition has attracted the attention of a Philadelphia judge. They were thinking. and with reason. that nobody had any care for them.

MARCUS 4. HANNA.

A few short months ago Marcus A. President of the United States. He said he didn't want to be President, and from that time on he was mentioned as one of the most prominent of the Presi- dent-makers. He was being so men toned only two weeks ago. Now he is dead and the big politics in which he was playing so big part will have to go on without him. His career was a remarkable one Having attained large success in business about ten years ago he suddenly loomed up in national politics as the friend and supporter of Mckinley. He gained the desire of his heart then and since he has been one of the most influential men in the coun- try. As United States senator, chair man of the Republican National Com mittee, advocate of the Panama canal
 etc., etc, he has shown great power persistence and tact. He has been a good-natured, friendly man, and per- haps as high compliment as has been paid him is that he was in many re- spects much like his friend Mckinley. He was rich, but popular, enjoyed pub lie life, and seemed to be situated in all respects about as fortunately as man can be. But this is world of change and the great change has come to him.
 His memory will long be honored and his good work for his country and his party recognized and appreciated.

AN AU1OMoBILE TRAIN

A French invention is attracting some attention in this country. The inven- ton, which is the work of a distinguish ed Frenchman, Colonel Renar, consists of a train of separate cars, at the head of which, in place of the locomotive, is factory of energy" This factory of energy generates motive power on the principle of the ordinary automobile, by the use of gasolene or some other petro- leum product, and is as light as the rest of the cars. With a weight of two tens it will generate fifty to sixty horse power, which is transmitted and dis tributed to the cars. This enables the entire train to start or stop, or to main- tain q continuous speed, as easily and reliably as so many individual vehicles operating independently.
 Actual experiment has demonstrated. 1t is said. that a train of this character, with total weight of twenty tons, can

It is none too early to begin to make provision against the damage of the next celebration of American indepen- dence, now nearly six months distant. Each Fourth of July brings sacrifice of the youth of the nation, not to patri- otisnn, but to foolish mechanical meth-

 of what internal inventions for noise making would be produced a century later. Had he possessed a prophetic vi- sion of toy pistols and dynamite crack

.AN0THER EXPOSITION.

Of making "expositions" there is no end The citizens of Jamestown, Vir- ginia, are preparing to celebrate in 1907 the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of the settlement at that place. General Fitzhugh Lee, who is the president of the Jamestown Expo- sition Company, is in Washington for the purpose of working up interest in the affair, and incidentally to get a good big appropriation from congress to help along the exposition. We have fittingly celebrated the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of Amer ica,' said General Lee. "The three hundredth anniversary of the settle ment at Jamestown is hardly less wor- thy of commemoration. A great nation cannot bring to mind it's small begin nings and it's stupendous growth through such celebration as the Jamestown Exposition Company con- templates without stirring in the hearts of it's people the best patriotism and the sincerest devotion to the principles which have made their nation great There are a great many places of his toric interest about Jamestown, and that entire district is preparing for the big event which we are to celebrate in 1sO7."
 There can be no doubt that this an niversary is well worth celebrating, and though there are several expositions in sight, all will wish the Jamestown ex- position success.

An English law journal attributes to an American judge down South the fol-
 lowing charge to a jury in explanation of the difference between a verdict of murder and one of manslaughter: Gen tIemen,' he said, with admirable lucid ity, "murder is where man is murder ously killed. The killer in such case is a murderer No, murder by poison is just as much murder as murder with a gun, pistol or knife. It is the simple act of murdering that constitutes mur- der in the eye of the law. Don't let the idea of murder and manslaughter con- found you. Murder is one thing, man. slaughter is quite another. Consequent ly, if there has been murder, and it is not manslaughter, then it must be mur- der. Don't let this point escape you. Self-murder has nothing to do with this case.

For the last few weeks the region has been in a wonderful state of effervescence. After the legal wedding has been performed the couple take their stand in row behind the high altar of the church and behind them sit their fathers and mothers, and so do their cousins and their uncles and their aunts, all ar rayed in their brightest colored raiment and the whitest and stiffest of coiffes.

tinual strain" because of some financial OF

constipation, loss of appetite, s1eeplessness

as a rule, get rid of this continual strain, .
but they can remedy it's health destroying
effects by taking frequent doses of Green's

Value of Rural Delivery.

but an exaggerated instance of the
value which the rural delivery is to

Friend Lew-As you run the free de-
livery by my house I would like Won

evener under the seat. When Won
come by W. S. Nelson's get two of
his largest coops and bring them
along, that can have my turkeys
caught so you can take them to Grove
City. won't detain you but a min
ute. And as have eight loads of
lumber to get to town, had l better
get it out alongside the road, or will
you go into the woods for il? I think
