Postmaster D.S. Knox desires to call
attention to the practk-e of some patrons
of rural delivery of planing loose coins In
their boxes each time they desire to dis
patch letters instead of supplying them
selves with postsge In advance of their
needs. This practice Imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers la removing
looho c 'ins from boxes and delays them
on the service of their routes. The post-mat-tei
, therefore, urgently requests tbat
patrons of rural delivery provide them
selves aud keep on baud a supply of
stamps consistent with and in advance of
their needs. It is also very desirable tbat
rural patrons place in their mall boxes
small detachable cups of wood or tin in
which to place coins, when necessary, in
liurchaxing supplies ot stamps.

A new ruling jusi promulgated by the

paper extending credit to subscribers
will be denied the use of the mails at the
usual uewspaper rates. Subscribers to
all newspapers and periodicals will be
affected by this ruling and will beobliged
to pay their xubscriptinns promptly or be
taken off the list. The Republican will
have to enforce the rule, not from choice,
but because the matter is compulsory,
and in the courseof a few weeks subscrip
tions that are not paid up will have to be
discontinued, so don't blame the publish

The Rkpublican acknowledges re
ceipt of Hon. A. W. Smiley's book entl
tied "A Few Scraps, Oily and Otherwise."
As tbe name implies tbe book is a com
pilation of the author's reminiscences of
the stirring days of the early oil excite
ment, and carries the reader back to
periods In that nervous, bustllug epoch
when fortunes were made aud lost In a
single day. Many short stories are told
in a most entertaining and off-band way
by tbe versatile author, making it one of
tbe most readable little publications to
which oil country folk have had access In
many years. It is an invaluable addition
to the hlBtory of the oil business by one
who was ou the spot and helped make it.
Mr. Smiley will send the book post paid,
to any address fur $1.00, which barely
covers the cost. Address, Foxblirg, Pa.
An exchange asksi Why art there
so many people prone to attach a sinister
motive to any misfortune that overtakes
a man or womai T This Is a very bard
question to answer, but it is nevertheless
true. Let misfortune come and there are
those wfio take delight In forming and
circulating all sorts of stories which tend
to put the victims of bad luck or misfor
tune In 111 repute. Why can't people be
more charitable and see the good things
in every one's life Instead of the bad?
How mui h bappler we could make our
lives and those of others If we could do
this.
A lady prophetess of Tilusvllle, who
Is a close observer of weather conditions,
furnishes the Herald witb this Informa
tion for the benefit of ice men and citizens
generally: "There will be four changes
of tbe mt.on during the month of Febru
ary, all of them cold and one of them ex
tremely cold. If ice is not good now the
harvest may be delayed, as much ice
weather will be experienced during tbe
present month." February Is' usually an
ice maker and if the present mouth scores
up with its predecessors of years agone
the lady bas made an easy guess, aud our
Ice men will be happy accordingly.
The Bradford Era tells of a tall an
gular man of tbat place who was recently,'
walking down a steep b'll when a piece
of icn under the snow caused bim to lose
control of his feet. He began to slide and
was unable to stop. At a crossing half
way down he encountered a large, heavy
woman; and before either realized it a
collision ensued and both were sliding
down bill, tbe thin man underneath, tbe
fat woman on top. When tbe bottom
was reached, and the womau was trying
to recover her breath and feet, these faint
words were borne to iter ears: "Pardon
me, madam, but you will have to get off
here. This la as far as I go."
Men who carry conceale deadly

offense when taken before Judge Reed of

when caught with tbe goods. Judicious
ly applied this sort of administration of
the law would tend to lessen crime con
sidnrably In all communities. There is
no need for every Tom, Dick and Harry
In the country going about armed to the

that persists in doing so is not the most
desirable in the co i munity.

They have -evsral teams hauling nd dis
tributing stone for tbe Telford foundation
along tbe way from the mouth of Tubbs
run down to where tbe paving is to be
gin. A team can haul more than double
the load on good sleighing than on wag

Few people are aware tbat there is a
law ol the state requiring every business
man to place a sign giving tbe name of
the proprietor and the character of bis
business in front of bis store. The pur
pose of tbe law Is to enable tbe mercan
tile appraisers to ascertain with as little
trouble as possible tbe name of a mercan
tile place and tbe character ot its business.
In many Instances tbe appraisers have
found considerable difficulty in locating
tbe proprietor of a store or In discovering
his business. Instructions bave been
issued to mercantile appraisers in tbe
several counties to see that these signs
required by law are put up. Tbe tine
for disobeying tbe law is f 10 for each of
fense and tbe appraisers are to enforce
tbe law. Merchants who bave neglected
to put out signs as required may be Bur
prised, but they will have to get busy
and bang tbem out. Otherwise there is
the alternative of a possible $10 line for
each offense.

Death of Mrs. Philip GIonk.
Mary Ana Gates was born Dec. 21, 1828,
at Hnleman Flats, on the Allegheny
river, three miles south of Tionesta, and
died very suddenly ol heart failure at tbe
borne ot her son, Quintain Jamieson,
Tionesta, Pa., Jan. 80, 1008. On March
18, 1803, she was united In marriage with
Gilbert Jamieson, wbo died Sept. 19, 1894.
To thia union one daughter, Kate, was
born, and who died as she was entering
upon the threshold of young womanhood.
In 1002 the subject of this sketch was
united in marriage with Philip Gloss of
Elk City, Clarion county, and on March
23, 1907, by the death of Mr. Gloss, she
was again left a widow, after a brief but
happy married life of about live years.
Since then she had made ber borne in
Tionesta with ber eldest son, J. W. Jam
ieson. When ten years of age the deceased
united with tbe Methodist Episcopal
church, and to tbe day of ber death re
mained faithful, loyal member of tbat
organization. In all tbe walks of lifesbe
exemplified the true Christian spirit.
Coming into tbe home of ber first bus-
band when his three boys were yet qu ite
young she took np tbe cares of the house-
bold and to these little ones became the
idolized mother of after years, and was
revrenced and abeyed by tbem through
out ber remaining days, Mrs. Gloss was
a womau of most noble traits of charac
ter. Blessed with a superior intellect she
found great comfort in the study of her
bible and could always give a reason for
tbe faith that was In ber. Though of a
quiet disposition, not given to much talk,
she was yet a most interesting and enter
taining conversationalist aud loved tbe
companionship of those who could con
verse Intelligently upon tbe sterner reali
ties of life. In ber domestic life she was
most loving and devoted, and it is doubt
ful whether she ever fully recovered from
tbe shock occasioned by the death of the
sweet young daughter in whom ber life
seemed wrapped up. Beloved and re
spected by all wbo knew ber she will be
greatly missed and mourned by them,
and the community will long cherish her
mem ry.
Tbe deceased is survived by three step
sons, John W. and Quintain Jamieson, of
Tionesta, and Gilbert Wilson Jamieson,
of Labaoon, Pa. Also by an adopted
daughter, Mrs. Charles Banks, of Cham
bersburg, Pa., one brother, Jacob Gates,
of Rockland, Pa., and one sister, Mrs.
Maria Lamb, of California.

Gloss were held at the home of Mr, Jam
