RURAL CARRIERS LAMENT.
A Poem in Prose Expressing Sen
timents of Unfortunate Servant
of Uncle Sam.

We're Uncle Sans most favored
pets. We're hearty and we're hale.
We've nothing in the world to do
but glide around with mail. But one
thing almost breaks our hearts and
our nervous system shocks, it's the
everlasting pennies that we're fishing
from the box. We carry stamps AID
envelopes and postal cards and such,
and we would like to sell a few,
twould please us very much, but
man cannot sell unless you buy,
10 matter how he talks, so we have
to keep on diving for the pennies
in the box. It's all right in the
springtime or when summer breeZes
blow, but a different proposition
when it's thirty-two below. When
all our fingers and our toes are
frozen hard as rocks, tbs anything
but funny scratching pennies from
the box. And now, quite confiden-
TALLY I'll tell you something more,
a rural carrier way out west forgot
himself and swore. Says he, II can
stand the snow drifts; can stand the
frozen locks, but blast the measly
pennies in the blasted measly box!"
When the roll is called up yonder,
and we all do gather there, they
would not let the mail man in when
they knew he'd learn to swear. If
you want the Gate to open when
your rural carrier knocks, buy your
stamps and don't be guilty of putting
pennies in the box-Alpena Journal

Workings of New Game Law.

Last week Deputy Game Warden
W. C. Ballou was at Hazleton in his
official capacity and while there took
a couple of fellows, residents of that
vicinity, before Squire J. w. Sankey
on the charge of having exercised
their ability as hunters without &C.
ing through the formality of forking
over the sum of 81, receiving theI,.
for the required residence hunter s
license, which the law says one shall
have before he has the right to hunt
in this commonwealth. The gentle
men, as the cheapest way out of the
dilemma, pleaded guilty and were
fined $50 and costs each. 1t appears
that the nimrods had gone hunting
with a party, among whom was q
boy, In some manner the hoy was
accidentally shot, which fact attract
ed more than ordinary interest in
the hunting expedition. The above
fines against two of the party re-
suited in the undesired publicity
given the hunting trip.
The average individual is quite ap;
to think that he can perhaps go out
into the woods and bag little game
take it home and enjoy wild game
feast without anyone appearing upon
the scene to ascertain whether or not
he has the required license. That is
where one is quite likely to be fool
ed. For the small sum of 81 it does
not pay to take the chances. In ad.
dition, it is not fair to the fellows
who obey the law by getting theil
licenses. One man should have ne
more privileges than another. 1t is
| the intention of the officials to see
that the law regarding hunters Ii
censes is obeyed. If one enjoys
hunting it is fairer to his friends
and much better for himself to Sc
cure a nse.-Independence Bulle

THEY INJURE CHILDREN.
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi-
cine should ever be given, except
in emergency cases. Ordinary pills,
cathartics and purgatives are apt to
do more harm than good. They

quently Notwithstanding and a life
lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance where
it fails to give entire satisfaction,
and we urge all in need of such medi-
cine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies contain an en-
tirely new ingredient which is odor-
less, tasteless and colorless. AS an
active agent, it embraces the valu-
able qualities of the best known in
testinal regulator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. They are particularly prompt
taken at any time, day or night; do
not cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping,
excessive looseness or other unde-
sirable effects. They have a very
natural action upon the glands and
organs with which they come in con-
tact, act as a positive and regulative
tonic upon the relaxed muscular
coat of the bowel and it's dry nue.
Gus lining; remove irritation, over
come weakness, tone and strengthen
the nerves and muscles, and restore
the bowels and associate organs to
more vigorous and healthy activity.
ReXall Orderlies completely re-
lieve constipation, except when of
a surgical character. They also tend
TO overcome the necessity of con-
stantly taking laXatives to keep the
bowels in normal condition.
There is really no medicine for
this purpose so good as Rexall Or
derlies, especially for children, aged
and delicate persons. They are pre-
pared in tablet form, in two sizes of
packages; II tablets 10 cents, and
SO tablets % cents. Remember you

Settling the Hired Man Problem

Settling the Hired Man Problem
Charley Morey has the hired man
problem settled for the next year, sc
far as he is concerned. Daspairing
of ever getting a steady man by the
customary means, he sent an appli-
cation for a helper to the immigra-
ton employment bureau at the port
of New York and last Saturday there
arrived big, strapping German fe!-
low who has agreed to stay with
Charley for a year. He has been
in America before and went back
home for a while, but now comes
to stay. He is anxious to learn
farming and will doubtless be a val
liable man. Other formers who want
help might find this plan Of advant-
age to themselves. The employment
bureau is conducted by the govern
ment and we do not think there is
any expense to getting a man this
way, except that railroad fare from
New York is advanced, which later
is taken from the mans wages.-Le

the bathroom should be mottoless

Surely, with so vast a field for in

no dearth of notices for the bathroom.
