previous experience in this capacity,

necessary to make an efficient officer.
He is also a graduate pharmacist, and
followed the business for years.

rade to another. "D- him he ought
to be Dead" was the reply. What iron
could have entered that mans soul to
have so hardened his heart? To re-
joice at the downfall of an enemy is
reaching frightful depths. Our hands
should be quite as quick to aid an i'm
periled enemy as friend. In the res.
cue of men from danger all men are
brothers. The prevention of possible
pain or suffering should be the ain
and all else forgotten.

A PHILADELPHIA IDEA.
How an Ingenious Student Avoided a
Tardy Mark.

A certain student at the Central
high school hit upon brilliant idea
to escape punishment for lateness. 1t
is an established rule at the lnstitu-
tion to detain all pupils one hour after
regular dismissal for each case of
lateness, and II the same student is
late three times in one month he Is
liable to suspension for one day un-
less he is able to furnish reasonable
excuse. A suspension carries with 1t
2 forfeiture of exemptions in four and
sometimes FIVE studies. The student
In question, through some unavoida-
BILE delay. was late twice In one
month. While going to school one
morning, the car In which he rode was
held up for about 10 minutes at Wash.
ington avenue by the freight trains.
Fearing suspension through his chron.
&c lateness the student tore a leaf
from his notebook and asked his fell
low passengers TO affix their sigma.
lures to a note which declared that
he was detained by the railroad cars.
He arrived at school several minutes
late, but on presentation of his note,
signed with 20 names, he was excused
by the professors ors.-Philadelphia REQ

Since early spring the hogs of the

wondered whose corn crib his pigs

hungry bodies.

OFFERS CHANCE TO INVENTORS.
Government Willing to Pay Well for
Aids in Postal Service.

Washington. - "A large fortune
awaits the man who invents a device
TO deliver mail bags from moving
trains" declared Assistant Postmaster
General McCleary. "A substitute for
twine in wrapping up letters also will
bring great riches to the inventor.
Men with brains have been ex-
perimenting for years to solve the
problem of how mail bags shall be re-
ceived from trains under full speed.
THE government has hunted in
vain for practical device for catch
ing these flying mail bags. It will pay
a big price for the use Of patent
which solves this problem.
The government pays hundreds Of
thousands of dollars every year for
twine. We have had all kinds Of sub
stitutes offered, but none has proved
satisfactory. A good fastener which
can be disposed of instantly will be
worth a fortune to the inventor"
