him he applied the Drakes but not

TO DELINQUENTS-
It is a long time since we have
said anything about subscription
bills, and we are not going to sav
much now. Most people dislike to
be "dunned." A good wav to
avoid it is to remove the necessity
by paying up. Karly in January
statements will be sent out from
this office for all arrearages on sub
scription. Those who are sensitive
on "duns" can avoid them bv
settling by January 10th. 2t.
OtlRIGTMAS WEATHER
Although we did not have a
white Christinas, it was not what
might be called a green one. It
was clear and cold, and in the after
noon there were snow flakes in the
air for a little while. Speaking of
Christmas weather several gentle
men who were making comparisons
agreed that the Chris. mas Day ot
1877 was the warmest known in
their existence. The weather then
was more Jike a balmy day in May,
no overcoats or wraps being worn.
The first day of January, 1878,
was even nicer than Christmas, one
of th i gentlemen in the party as
serting that on that day he sat out
with a party in the woods while
they drank a keg of ;.cer, the
weather being almost summer-like
at that time.

On a Cash Basil-
An eminent physician in P
had cured a little child of a danger
ous illness. The grateful mother
turned her steps towards the house
ot her son's savior.
" Doctor," she said, "there are
some things which cannot be re
paid. I really don't know how to
express my gratitude. I thought
you would, perhaps, be so kind as
to accept this purse, embroidered by
my own hand."
"Madam," replied the Doctor
coldly, "medicine is no trivial
affair, and our visits are to be re
warded only in motley. Small
presents serve to sustain friend-
snips, but they do uot sustain our
families."
"But, Doctor," said the ladv.
alarmed and wounded, "speak
tell me the fee."
" Two hundred dollars, Madam."
The lady opened the embroidered
purse, took out five bank-notes ot
one hundred dollars each, gave two
to the Doctor, put the remaining
three back in the pur.se, bowed
coldly, nd took her departure.

Treo Drinks and Freo Passu
Clos.dy followirg the Pennsyl
vania railroad's proclamation that
after the first of the year no free
passes shall be issued, comes the
declaration from Director of Public
Safety Potter, Philadelphia, that he
will prosecute and. if possible, de
prive of his license, any saloon
keeper who furnishes free drinks to
a policeman in uniform. Thus one
good deed inspires another.
The demand of free passes by
poli'icians and free rum by police
men is graft and compliance with
t.ie demand is yielding to black
mail. A distinct step in advance
will have been taken when both are
stepped. Ex.
Castle 13 Willing-
Homer L. Castle of Pittsburg,
who did effective work for the
election of Berry in the late cam
paign by exposing crooked work
by the gang with the morey in the
State Treasury, in an interview for
publication recently said that if a
fusion nomination for Governor
came to him he would accept it.
Among other things Mr. Castle
coid:
"There is no mock modesty a-
bout me. I would gladly accept
such an offer; any matt would, and
if there is a man who says he
wouldu't he is either fooling him
self or trying to fool the people,
and probably failing in the latter
attempt. Why it would be an hon
or to any man to lead such men as
elected Berrv."
Badly Burned
Mrs. E. G. A. Kline of Rupert
was badly burned last Saturday
morning, when the frame house on
the Boody place was burned down
by the explosion of a lamp. Mr.
Kline was away from home, and
the lamp was left burning on the
first floor as a protection against
burglars. Mrs. Kline and her
little girl were up stairs, and in
escaping the former was burned
about tho face, neck and hand.
The house was totally destroyed.
