1t is worth a thousand dollars
year to have the habit of looking
on the bright side of things.
j. X. Hornbeck & Son are so
rushed with orders that they are
obliged to work their Hancock ex-
celsior factory evenings.
The publishing of the Tri-Week-

When the first census was TAX

class of the High school will give

In an address before the Lu-
Zerne county teachers institute on
Thursday of last week DR.. Charles
w. Kent said there should be no
female teachers in the High schools
because the boy prepared by a
woman. instructor does not possess
individuality. Nearly his entire
audience was composed of female
instructors, in the schools, who aim
to obtain the highest possibilities in
the teaching profession and the ad-
dress caused much comment among
them.
The State Pharmaceutical

f1avoring extracts, principally pep
permint and other articles of food,
and found that a great deal of it
had been doctored with drugs of
various kinds. They were given
hearing before alderman Millar of
Scranton, who put the costs of pros
ecution on them and, after they
promised to be sure that they were
obeying the law in the future, were
discharged
An exchange remarks that this
is the way papers will write up we'd
4 dings ten years hence: "The bride
looked very well in travelling
dress, but all eyes were centered
upon the groom. He wore a dark
suit that fitted his form perfectly
and in his dainty gloved hands he
+ carried small rose. His curly hair
4 was beautifully done, and delicate
= odor of hair oil of the best quality
: tloated down the aisle as he passed.
The young people will miss him now
that he is married. He is loved by
all for his many accomplishments,
his tender grace and his winning
ways. The bride commands a good
< salary as bookkeeper and the groom
will miss none of the luxuries to
which he has been accustomed. A
crowd of pretty men saw them off
at the depot"
Oft times when we walk down
the street we pass some man or
woman whose hair is silvery white
and whose body is bent by age. The
clothes may be shabby, the old age
may have had an effect upon their
appearance, but they were once
young and full of life and hope, but
Old Father Time crept upon them.
Now old and unable to perform la
Dor, they walk the streets. Each
and everyone no doubt has done
something for the betterment of
mankind. Their mind and bodies
may be feeble, but they too have
fond recollections of the bright and
sunny days that we now enjoy. A
kind word often relieves these hearts
f burdened with age, and we should
have reverence and respect and an
t butstretched hand full of charity for
such people, for 1t is only matter
bf time until old age will creep up
bn us. Some will be more fortunate
gain of this worlds goods and for
his reason the less fortunate should
be held in the highest esteem by
hose whom good fortune has smil-
ID upon.
