A we have no reason to doubt his state ments we accept them as truthful, yet her story of the affair was some what i ontradictory. By a decision of the Suprem Court of Pennsylvania, just hande<. down, 30,000 acres of forest in thi mountains of Pike and Monroe counties—the best hunting and fish ing region in that famous wilder ness—is thrown open to the people.

Rural mail carriers are strictly prohibited from carrying verbal messages. If a farmer should tell them to tell neighbor Jones to come down his way, as he wanted to see him, the carrier could not lawfully deliver the 'message. The proper method would be for the farmer to write a letter or postal to neighbor Jones and have the carrier deliver it. The reason is that the govern ment wants all the revenue possible from the postal service, and desires those who are benefitted by it to pay for the same. Dr. N. C. Schaeffer, State Super intendent of Public Instruction, re cently gave some very decided views on the overburdened public school cirrieulum, at a teachers' in stitute.

He plead ed with the teachers to be not dis tracted by extranous subjects to the detriment of the three essentials named above, and at the same time emphasized the importance of geog raphy and drawing. He gave his approval of instruction along the lines of domestic science and indus trial training.

An exchange gives the following rules for hunters to strictly follow: Hunters should remember, first, to always crawl over a fence with the muzzle of the) gun toward you. Then should anything catch on the trigger the coroner will get a job and the newspaperman something to write about the next week. Second. If you see anything moving in the brush you want to fire instantly; never stop to consider. Of course it may be another hunter, bulyou can call around in the morning and ex plain to the widow that you thought it was a pheasant. She will proba bly think you are a bird. Third. Always leave the hammer of your gun up if you have anybody with, you. If it should fall, your friend will probably catch the ammunition in his back before it goes far. You can then pick the shot out at leisure. Numerous other wise precautions will suggest themselves while you are in prison awaiting trial, should you survive ltule No. ). TO CURB A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Quiue Tablets. All druggists return! the money if it fails to cure. E. W. (irove's signature is on each box, 25c. Life Insurance A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A POLICY JVITH THE NEW YORK LIFE BECAUSE —Incontestable from the date of issue. Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because —non forfeitable front date of issue. Be cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur .111 accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy-holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this.
