A postmaster in strong prohibit
ton community got letter from a
distillery Arm; it proposed to give
him 25 per cent on all the whisky
the firm sold in his community; all
he had to do was to furnish the dis
tillery with names of reliable men
whom he thought would buy, and
the firm would the rest through
literature and the express ONCE. The
postmaster was somewhat OF a joker,
so he got sheet of paper and wrote
a list of about 70 names, all Of which
were identified with churches and
temperance leagues; then he took a
hearty laugh as he sealed the letter
in the envelope and addressed it to
the distillery, and the matter was
soon dismissed from his mind. About
three months after he received let
ter from the distillery, thanking
him for the courtesy and inclosnig
draft for $50 as his commission.

Favorable for chautauqua.

Rev. Edwin Booth, in his last words
at the closing Of the chautauqua sale
the work of carrying out the program
was too much for one man and asked
that a strong committee be appointed
by either the Commercial club or the
citizens for the chautauqua in 1910
with full power to act. "This cannot
always be one man proposition, ;
said he. ut is a great thing for the
uplifting of a town and should be a

the work"
Over 300 season ticket pledges were
filled out and signed during the last
two days, and it looks favorable for
more chautauquas.
After the evening services a COM
mittee of three, G. T. Sprecher, ]. s.
Mathewson and Rev. Edwin Booth, jr.,
were appointed to call a meeting of
everyone who is interested in the
chautauqua in an effort to organize a
chautauqua organization and to stand
back of the organization, also to guar

there are already $50 pledged it will
not take much to get the other $50.
