Why USE THE d. S. MAILS?

the state is concerned, but there
is the federal government with
the same protection as formerly.
The whole state is now being
polluted with that trashy adyer-
Using matter from other states
asking our men, boys and any
one to buy a supply Of ruinous
rum to give state prohibition a
backset, but from the majority
heard from two years ago, it well
take something more than the u.
S. Mails to discourage the ardent
supporters and parrots of prohi-
bition. 1t is regretted that the
federal government has not seen
the error in using the mails to
carry on asbusiness SO injurious
to society.
A government cannot be any
better than the men or party in
power more people know this
today than ever before, and as
this enlightenment is growing
stronger every day, the change
will be here before many realize
it, SO it behooves those politicians
who think any of the future to
wake up and fall in line with the
progressive march for better and
greater things.
Just last week the Belington
post office was almost over-run
with liquor letters, The same
condition Of affairs existed or has
existed elsewhere in the state.

Our preachers do not write

GOLDEN THREADS.

We were reading not long
since of a person who wonder
ed whether life had more Of
Joy or sorrow, more of care
and trouble, than of happiness.
So she resolved 10 line the
good days with gold and the
bad days with black and at
the end of the year look them
over and see which had been
her lot, more of JOY or more
of sorrow. She found the
good had far outweighed the
evil. We think all of us would
find the same thing true of
our own lives. As a rule, we
look on the dark side of our
own life and on the bright
side of other peoples. We en-
Wy the rich their ease, the ed
ucated their opportunity, the
musician his popularity. We
think the well-dressed, the
well-fed people must be hap
Ply, especially if they have
fine homes we'll furnished.
We forget that there may be
skeletons in t h e r closets
which we would dread to see
in ours. If we could adopt the
prayer of Argus as our own,
"Glve us neither poverty or
riches, perhaps if we were
just in that situation in life it
would satisfy some OF US, but
not all. We are not looking
for the golden threads running
through our lives. Sickness
CO M es; we see no golden
threads. Death claims our
loved one, still ali is dark to
US. Adversely lays its hand
upon US and the gold is still
hidden. But there is a silver
lining to every cloud, and
When once we note the silver
lining the golden thread is
a G ain running familiarity
through our life. We may not
see in this world why our
lives have been so full of sor-
row; why we have lost our
loved ones or why we have
not prospered, but if we reach
the shining shore we shall see
as we do not now, and we shall
know why God dealt thus
with us.

Rsturn of the oId Matters.

English walters have their chance now The old-fashioned waiter-paf- ticularly the club waiter-was often held in high esteem and admitted to terms of intimacy by those to whom he ninistered. Often he was a sports man, as in the case of the head waiter at Long's in the old days, to whom frequenters were accustomed to look for sure tip. Of an earlier genera tion was Macreath, a waiter at Whites who used to act as banker to the young bloods who came there to gam : bIe away their patrimonies.
