More perfect weather for the teach

An order of much interest to pension
ers of the Government has been issued
by the Postoflice Department. It Is to
the effect that postmasters of money or

that it is not to apply to large cities.whcre
tlieso checks can bo readily cashed
through hanks, "and while postmasters
at tho larger money ordor offices may al
so cash such checks, as an accommoda
tion to pensioners, those who present
checks to such offices may be requested
to have them hereafter cashed through
banks as heretofore."
The trial of Walter Wheaton in the
Venango county courts last week result
ed in tho very unsatisfactory verdict of
"murder in tho second degree." It is
said to have been a compromiso verdict,
or another case of "oleven stubborn

fellow's opinion. In discharging the
Jury Judge Criswell stated the verdict
was unreasonable and that they should
have found Wheaton guilty of murder in
the first degree or have acquitted him.
In the light of reccut election returns in

any kind of a vordict.

Remarks by tlio Fox.
Said a rabbit to a pheasant bird,
"If rightly I remember,
This shooting business has to cease
The fifteenth of December."
"You're right," replied tho pheasant bird,
'For my part I can't see
Why there's an open season
For shooting you and me."
"Because you are no earthly good,"
A barn-owl made reply,
As on an old dead limb he stood
And winked the other eye.
"You fellers have no room to kick,"
Tho wise bird sadly said,
"For I must go the whole year 'round
With a price upon my head."
"Although I am a useful fowl
And live on snakes and mice,
And seldom show my faco by day,
That seems to cut no ice.
A rotton legislature has,
In spite of all these things,
Made me thn meanest outlaw
That navigates on wings.
"Tut, tut," observed a sly old fox
Emerging from a log,

From Mike O'Connor's dog,
"This world, you know, was made for

And not for things like us.
We have no right to live at all,
Much less to raise a fuss.

And wise and just and good.

If every citizen would make a point of
thinking and speaking well of his or her
neighbor, associate or friend, the village
they live in and tho people they im-et,
what a delightful cotnmiiuit wo would
have. Don't gossip. Any gossip is idle,
evil gossip is criminal. Drop toe miser
able, cowardly, "they say !" Be sure of
your ground before you start a report and
then be sure that repetition or circula
tion is for somebody's good. If it isn't,
keep still. We are all open for criticism.
No two persons look at a matter from the
same point ot view. There Is some good
in everybody, and that Is what we should
be looking for. The evil always lin-'s a
way out. Just peg away, mind your own
business and keep everlastingly at it.
