THE SINS OF THOUGHT
LESSNESS.

The statement that "they didn't
think" is with many, sufficient
excuse for neelee; Of duty as well
as positive wickedness. In the
family circle, it is the thoughless
member that possesses the facul-
ty for forgetting everything ex-
cept se.f-ease and self-indul-
seuce. II the head Of family
.s afflicted with this failing, he i
obliyious Of the needs Of his wife
and daughters for spending
money. or that cash il the onl.,
/ lLbricator that keeps the domes-
! tie machinery in running order.
Z lie also forgets that he was ever
young. and comes down on his
boys and girls with rules and
regulations a. chGngeless as the
laws Of the Medes and Persians.
The thoughtIess woman neg
iccts domestic duties and WON
ders why her husband and chill
dren find other places more
agreeable and congenial than
/ home. She never thinks to con-
I troll her children in private, and
complains because they are un-
manageable in public. Sho uses
this same variety Of thoughtiess-
ness also when she plays cards
Tor prizes, and expects her hus-
band and sons to refrain from
games Of chance or everything
that smacks Of gambling.
/ Neither father or mother think
Oi the possible resu t. from the
free use Of wines and intoxica1ts
in the home, and blame some-
body else when their boys turn
lout drunkards.
! Another form Of thouehtless-
ness is the use Of language. We
wound by .thoughtless words,
which we intend as jests, and
make life long enemies, when We
! could as easily make staunct
friends.
Thoughtlessucss causes Us tC
leave the settlement Of triiline
lebts till any old time, and then
forget them SO completely tha-
we feel affgonted when presented
with bill.
After all. not thinking Of 9th
ers is only q variety Of selfish.
| ness, which grows with indul'
gence and ere long mars tn,
finest character, or, overshadow:
the most shining virtues. Before
, We yield to its seductive charms
or make it i chronic ex-
cuse for the neglect of duty, lie
Us make desperate struggle tC
become thoughtful in word, deec
and purpose, and thereby max,
life pleasant to others as well a:
? ourselves.

We would like to know, by the

has a correspondent at that place,
who, two weeks ago, played the
role of editorial writer % for Ok

Although We feel that this cor.
respondent has done our town an
injustice, We are not asking about
Harmontown in order to 'roast-
the place or its news paper man"
but to ask him TO be little more
optimistic, and to ask him 10 say
some good things about his own
community instead Of finding fault
with the two best towns in the
county.
In this connection We beg to
offer the following suggestion to
all the correspondents of this pa
Fer: That each correspondent
acquain: himself thoroughly with
the history of his village, its peo.
pie, its Institutions, etc, aud lie,
each one write an historic sketch
of his own town for publication in

very lengthy they could be pub

PRESIDENT HILL ISSUES CIRCULAR
RAPID EXPANSION OF BUSINESS
GIVEN AS THE REASON FOR
ACTION TAKEN.

New York, Oct. 11.--A new issue Of
$4,000 shares of Great Northern Rail-
road company stock, to be offered to
stockholders at par value Of 500 each.

circular signed by J. ]. Hill, president
Of the company. Shareholders may
subscribe to the new stock to the ex-
tent of 20 per cent of their present

shareholders says:
"Since March, 1901, when the last
issue Of the capital stock of this COM
pany was offered to you for subscrip-
tion, the rapid expansion of the busi-
ness of your company has made neces-
sary large expenditures for new lines
and property. For portion Of such
expenditures your directors authorized
financial arrangements of a temporary
character on account of the litigation
In which your company was then in
volved. That litigation being ended
It Is considered advisable that per-
manent provision should now be sub
stituted for such temporary arrange
ments and that funds be provided to
pay for additional equipment, for the
stocks and bonds, or both, Of your sub
sidiary companies and for such other
securities and property as expansion
of the system may require and your
board OF directors may authorize from
time to time be acquired"
