Many Kinds of Lawyers.

In the official scale the attorney gen

The division Of the lower branch OF
the legal profession has lasted longer
in Scotland than i'm England. There
are three kinds of lawyers beyond the

Thouaht and Speech.

In spite of Emerson consistency is q
hobgoblin. Most of us cannot help
feeling that what we have said one
day we must abide by the next. and
this makes us careful. We are brought
up from youth to think twice before
we speak, and so we do. We think
perhaps three or four times, and when
we have done our thinkiSg we have
begun to suspect that we are poor
creatures anyway and might better not
speak at all, which may be the cast or
not.-New York Telegram.

Sunshine and Air.

Sun bathing and outdoor life are the
best means for making red blood,
writes DR.. J.H. Kellogg in Good Health.
When one goes out into the sun the
skin gets tanned a brown color. This
influence of sunlight is not seer simply
upon the surface of the skin. The col
oring matter is formed and developed
deeper in. The suns rays strike down
in and penetrate perhaps for an inch or
two into the soft tissues, so that the
influence of the sun is felt on the int.
rior of the body as we'll as on the out
side.

Z. PIONEER STORE

4 change is announced this
week in the ownership and man
agement of the Pioneer Store. an
institution that dates from the
earliest existence of Forest City,

the stock of goods, which occu-
pied nearly q week. time and was

viz: Mr.. and Mrs. j. +. Whitlock.
Mrs. Lucy Ct. Ocock and Miss
Violet Hughes, from Gettysburg,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Smith

as the Pioneer Store Company,
and that, at least for The present,
the force of clerks, in addition to
himself, will consist of Mrs. Frank
Smith, who is we'll known as his

The Pioneer Store is one of the
the largest in Potter county, val

The former clerk and manager
of the store, Mr.. B. j. Werner,

Left Property Undevised

The late Andrew j. Lund, who died a
few weeks ago, left an estate consist
ing of So, 600. 90 cash in the bank and
real estate valued at between $800.0 90
and 100000. An unusual feature is
presented in this estate in that there
appears to be question if deceased
left any heirs who can legally inherit
his property, in the absence of which it
will revert to the state. Mr.. Lund left
no blood relatives so far as is known,
but Mrs. P. G. Define, of Clio. and
Mrs. Ernest Define, of Chippewa Falls,
Wis, are step daughters; Ross Wilson,
of this place, being a son of the latter.
AS Mr.. Lund left no will it is considered
doubtful if those mentioned can secure
his estate, although he is known to
have expressed the intention of giving
it to them. 1t is said that several bills
for care of deceased during illness will
be presented to the probate court for
allowance and the village will make a
claim for taxes on the money in the
bank, the existence of which was not
known when the assessment was made.
