Rditor and EDITORIAL MUST EARN THEIR MONEY. If anything was needed to prove the progressivelsm of the Wilson ad- ministration, it was the recent order of Postmaster General Burleson, re- specting candidates to be postmas- ters, The order insists that hereafter men who aspire to be postmasters in small towns must be prepared to give all their time to the work. The depart- ment will no longer permit its em- ployes to regard the postmaster’'s of- fice as a side issue for some other business. Since the money to pay the salary, have the right to expect that the postmaster himself is earning it, in- stead of letting his subordinate do all the work. Mr. Burleson shrewdly suspects that | if the postmasters devote their entire | business time to their work, there will be need for fewer subordinates, contribute - the the people people THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT + BELLEFONTE, PA. FILLMORE, On last Monday night a surprise party was held at the home of Hen- ry Resides, in honor of thelr daugh- ter, Mrs. Budd Benner; it was her birthday, and there was about thirty young people gathered to greet her, John Jacobs, of Boalsburg, was put- ting up for the night at Mr. Resides’ and he brought his violin with him and everybody wanted to have a lit. tle hoe-down; of course Mr. Jacobs furnished music for them and every- body had a good time. Lunch was served at 12 o'clock which consisted of sandwiches, oranges, bananas, cake and hot coffee, which everyone enjoy - ed. All departed for home in the wee hours of the morning wishing Mrs Benner many more birthdays to come On Tuesday morning of last week while siting at the breakfast table Mrs. James Huey was stricken with a light stroke of paralysis We are glad to say she is improving slowly at this writing, T.

Only efficient men, and men who will give complete at- tention to their postoffice duties, will be appointed.

He was full of oddities and had a reckless spirit of daring. The boldness of his language and action once drew upon him the displeasure of Louis XV1., who banished him from Paris, but he came back on a festal day and was seen in the very face of the court walking about a race course. The king winked at the escapade. Such a culprit was incorrigible, But one of the most absurd of his an tics had to do with the Prince D., a very dull courtier, aguinst whom he has a grudge. One day the count np- plied vesy gravely to a physician, nek ing If it were possible for a person to ie of ennui “Such a thing,” said the doctor, | | "would be very singular and very rare." | | { in that sense it might cause the pa “But what 1 want to know," sald the count, “is would it be possible." “Well,” answered the doctor, “a long | continued state of ennul might induce | some disease, such as consumption, and | tient's death.” On this the consultation was written | down and signed at the count’s request | and the fee paid. | Next he went to an advocate and | asked whether he could make a legnl | complaint against a man who by any | means whatsoever had formed a design | against his life. The advocate assured | him that there was not the least doubt | of it and In his turn signed a declara- | tion. Armed with these documents, | the Count de Lauraguais instituted criminal proceedings against Prince D., | who, he declared, had formed the de- sign of tiring him to death! | Of course the suit ended in laughter, | but he had bad the satisfaction of en. raging his enemy. {nnd « | cident at A DOUBLE WEDDING.
