Some persons evidently do not under
stand the order of the Postoffice Depart
ment relative to tinsel post cards. Undel
this order they can be sent through The
mail for one cent, provided it is in an
envelope, which is left unsealed and the
stamp is placed on the outside Of the en-
velope.
Never have hats rejoiced SO in posles
as this spring. Some Of them, indeed,
not content with wreath OF roses,
poppies and other flowers ofthe field, add
a. sheaf of wheat to the structure. The
sheaf of wheat the Dilliners call prairie
grass, but whatever its name, it ADDS
more to the gaiety OF nations than it does
to the beauty of the chapeau. The
brindle COW in the south pasture would
eat one Of the spring hats without
conjunction, and in doing SO would feel
that she had made good meal of the
very things most calculated to establish
her health OH firm basis.
In order to avoid the numerous bodily
ailments that come with early spring. too
much care cannot be exercised in the
matter OF a general cleaning up OF back
yards and alleys, together, with cellars,
outbuildiugs and all places where air and
sunshine have not had chance to pene-
trate for long time. The time to look
after the renovation of dwelling houses
and theirsimmediate surroundings is be-
fore hot weather sets in, and househoIders
who neglect so importanta "a matter should
be spurred into activity by the authorl-
ties In the home where cleanliness is the
watchword there is little room for disease
to find lodgment. Clean up!

killed his cousin, JosIina Blackiston, on
Christmas Eve, 1905, and who WAS con-
victed at the February 1906 term Of
mansIaughter aud sentenced to Is months
imprisonment, expects to be released OIL
May 18th next, his good behavior having
resulted in months allowance on his
term. Sometime during the past winter
he was removed to the State Hospital for
the insane, as constant brooding over his
trouble had resulted in slight dementia.
Mr.. James L. Warren, for whom Backis-
ton had worked for many years saw him
on Wednesday and reports that he is en-
tirely rational and Mr.. Warren was as
sured by the guard that there would be
no objection to his release at the expira-
ton of bis sentence.
In the Wigwam of Seneca Tribe, No.
A, Improved o. R. NJ, meeting of the
Past Sachem's, the Sachem and the Senior
and Junior Sagamore's was held, and
organized "Sagamore's Club" with
Joseph A. Suydam chairman pro TEN and
John J. Jolls, secretary. The officers
elected were: Joseph A. suydam, presi-
dent Clarence R. Clayton, vice president;
John ]. Jolls, secretary and treasurer,
and Thomas Pyle, guard. The Club is
composed only of the Past Sachem's OF
the Tribe, and the three sitting officers,
so it makes it necessary for any Brother
of the Tribe, wishing to become a men,
ber of the Sycamore Club" to first be
elected to the stump of Junior Sycamore.
The Club is purely social affair and was
organized for the benefit of the Aged and
[ndigent Red Mems Home.
