No boy need despair of good for

is so great neglect of little things.

If tiny one desires to know how
keenly a paper from the old home
is appreciated, let him sometime
note his own feelings when away
from home on seeing a copy. What
is more, the sending of an occasional
copy to friends abroud in this way,
it uenents us, wlnle at tne same
time it is taken as un act of kind re
membrancn on the part of tho sen
der. One of. those unreasonable men
who take a newspaper lor a year or
two nnd then send it back "refused'
or not wanted was sued oy the
publisher in Michigan a short time
ago, nnd the Judge gave a verdict
for the plain tiff of full amount ami
costs. 1 ho court decided that no
tice to discontinue was not stitli
cient if the subscriber was in ar
rears. He must pay.
The Legislature passed n law last
session, approved April i!., JHH'.i,
providing the first Monday of Sep

act provides for all paper due on
that day to be paid the day before
If the Legislature only knew it, tho
laborer does not thank theso gentle
men for their foolery. This makes
eight legal holidays, and it is about
timo the deinagoguery was wound
up.

Those who cherish tho "unlucky

the present year with particular

on Friday ; nnd its entire number
oi rridnys is nity-tnree. ninn
will be kept busy to dodge all of
these ill-omened conditions.

Merchants in the State of Peun
sylvania are required each year to
pay what is known as n mercantile
license. They pay for conducting a
legitimate business, remarks an ex
change, and for this reason they are
protected from peddlers nnd hawk
ers of various wares. Tho law abso
lutely forbids tho peddling of any
merchandise without license, except
that residents of the state may se
articles of their own manufacture,
But license to hawk and peddle may
be obtained by n citizen of the Unit
ed States upon the certificate of two
practicing physicians of the county
that the applicant is by reason of
physical inability, unable to follow
a trud or gain u livelihood by man
ual labor. This is one of the goot!
laws of the state that is not enforc
ed as it should be, and merchant
ought to organize tv movement
against peddlers that would drive
them to other fields or put them out
of business entirely. No person, ex
cept a cripple, has a right to impose
upon the rights of merchants who
pay for the privilege of doing busi
ness, and a decided movement
against these venders would be
service to the storekeepers and the
people alike.

How any fish can escape with his
life in Middlecreek is u mystery. Ev

failed with some of the big'uus
