Writin~ Home. The following is a true incident that came under our observation and may be suggestive to some A young man employed had not written home In not even to his mother. reproached him bitterly for his neg- lect; so did his sister. They lived in the country on a farm, and his let- ters were an event of their lives. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself to treat your relatives like that,” said a lady to him, “Well, I know 1 ought, at least I suppose 1 ought; but it's like this, I've been here in three years. 1 work as hard as I can and watch every opportunity to bet- ter myself honestly, and 1 really think I am getting on. I need something cheerful and lightening to my life out of work hours. But, {f you will be- lieve me, in all the three vears I've been here I've never once had a letter from home which did not contain bad news or doleful and depressing thoughts that made me blue for days. It's got so 1 dread to open a letter with the home postnhrk upon Every item of disease that affects ar of the family, even to a toothache, is poured into me. Every letter is full of moaning about poverty or the faill- ure of crops the quarrelsomeness this or that neighbor, the dread of a mortgage on the farm, the creeping of age and helplessness of my mother and father and threatened blindness of old Greatuncle Jehosiphat, fear that brother Ned is taking drink or that sister Mary is going to marry that no account Tom Bradle; If here is nothing else there's a ering up of all the scandal warb in the country, and it's unloaded on me. I can't stand it any longer. Mother's letters are dolefui miserable and full of anxious grave- yardy forebodings that almost make me laugh some te of myself. That's iY one's family inflicts who are away from home. Never on anything cheerful or hopeful or en- couraging from any of them.

Dr. Kalbfus, secretary of the state game commission, has decided that the new hunters’ license law nowhere requires that a prospective license holder secure his hunter's license in the county of which he is a resident The question was raised in Montour county several days ago when resi- dents of that end of Northumberland county continuous to Danville—and there are hundreds of them-—sought to secure their lcenses in Danville, rather than go to Sunbury, the coun- ty seat, or to a justice. The efforts upon their part resulted In such a difference of opinion between the Montour county officials that there wns no chance of an agreement. To decide the question it was decided to write Dr. Kalbfus. This was done, with his reply to the effect as stated. Hair Tomc Ayer's Hair Vigor keeps the scalp clean and y. Promotes growth.
