KIHTUKS VISIT TIIK 'MKIIK. <>n Friday of last week the Northern I'a.

The N KWS ITKM editor not having made profit enough to pay hi- way was unable to meet with the associa tion and unravel his well of woes to his forlorn brothern. In the transfer of license of llenry \V. MvKibhins of Lope/.. The Superior Court last week aflirin ed the decision of the lower court and sustained .Judges lane Kraus in their interpetation of the cause in the above case. This must be extrenily gratifying to our asso ciate Judges its they tried the case withoutthe assitanceofthe President Judge,and have been criticised in some parts of the county for miscon struing the law. —Three game rooks were brought from Porto Rico by Admiral Samp son for his boys and placed at the Sampson home at (Jlen Ridge, N. J. They had records as lighters and care was taken to keep them from attacking and hurting a little Amer ican bantam which strutted about the place. These precautions failed the other day and the bantum killed two of the Spanish birds one after the other, and the third roosted so high that it took the admiral's sea glass to find him. PostOftlce Don'ts. The "Don't" man has been heard from on about all matters except this one and he would appear pretty well booked if the tone of,his lan guage was something like this: Don't ask the postmaster to kiss your stamps. Don't send silver in your letters and then blame the postmaster if it is lost. Don't ask when letters will reach California and Cuba,if mailed today, and about what time you can expect an answer. Don't think, because you get notice of a package being sent, that it should reach you at the same time. Don't ask, "Anything for me?" when it is just as easy to give the name, even if you feel yoursely well known. The postmaster may think you are asking for Uncle Sam or some other person, causing your mail de lay. Instructors at Summer Schools should teach this. Don't be so ignorant as to peddle your complaints all over the com munity. Better togo to the post offie anil adjust your little differences. A store or hotel is a poor place to get satisfaction. It signifies bad man ners and poor judgment. Don't write "P. 0." after the name of place. The letter would hardly be sent to a blacksmith shop. Don't insist in putting the stamp on your letter while people behind you are waiting to make a purchase. Don't think the office is run ex clusive for yourself. It's an institu tion where all have equal rights. Don't read this and say you hardly thought such things were possible. Bernice Echoes.
