and !)00,000,0(K) to trot drunk.
One of the oaslost thlnif In the world
In to (five advice, and one jOf the hardest
is to follow It. He who Is dlflixmed to
Rive It ahotild be willing to practice the
rule which ho make for nthoin.
It Is very rarely that the law against
the use of profane language are en
forced, but a man at Etwnsburg tho
other day paid for seven oaths at thn
rate of 04 rents each. The fine and
costs amounted to 17.40. Half the fine
goes to the poor fund. If all who swear
paid the legal penalty for the offense
the poor could be provided for as
sumptuously as tho millionaire.
This Is the season of tho year when
men relax their energies and moderate
their once. Schools and colleges sus
pend operations, while teachers and
students turn asldo for rest. Although
business Is not suspended, yet It Is not
conducted under the high pressure
which characterises It In other seasons
of tho year. In financial and com
mercial circles this is called the dull
season. Nature requires this relaxa
tion. The heat of the sun is more In
tense, and violent exercise would not bo
safe.
No student of human nature can
afford to Ixi Ignorant of tho astonishing
claims that are sent to the Patent
Office. Tho Patent Office Is a groat
sifter. It distinguishes the sane man
from tho lunatic, and comes nearer
than any other Institution to classify
ing thoso singular persons whose friends
are unable to determine whether they
are geniuses or semi-ldlotlc. Tho dis
appointments that inventors experience
after having spent years of experiment,
on finding that their discoveries have
been anticipated, or that their inven
tion belongs to tho class of unpatenta
ble common rights, are often pitiful
and so numerous as to make the Patent
Office sometimes a path to the asylum
or the suicide's grave.
Undor the system of money orders,
"which went into effect the first of this
month, any amount from one cent to
$100 may be sent. Orders not exceed
ing $2.50 will cost three cents; those
between 92.50 and 10 will cost five
cents; $10, eight cents; $20, ten cents;
and so on up to amounts between $75
and $100, which require a fee of thirty
cents. If a drawee wishes to change an
-order or cash it himself instead of send
ing it to the person in whose favor it
was drawn, he can get the money back,
but not the foe unless it is proven that
the postmaster made out the order im
properly. If a money order is lost it
will be repaid by the postofflce depart
ment through a warrant certifying that
the money has not been paid at the
office from which It was issued or by
the office upon which it was drawn.
Offices now designated as postal note
offices will undor the new act become
"limited money order offices" that is,
offices authorized to issue money orders
for sums not exceeding $5, but not to
pay any money orders whatever.
A feature of the approaching Nation
al Encampment of the Grand Army of

Communicated.
Col. James Rogers, who died sudden
ly at Pancoast, Pa., on July Cth, 1894,
was a native of Elk county and was
born on the loth diiy of September,
18.1.1, being at the time of his death 01
years of age. The Col. was twice mar
ried, his first wife being Elizabeth
Eddlngs, of Elk Co. A son, Walter,
was the frutt of this marriage. Walter
died at East Brady in February, 1801.
The Col. 'a first wife died In the seven
ties. His second wife, Eliza McConnell,
who survives him, was a daughter of
Jas. McConnell, of Deechwoods. She
bore him four children, three girls and
one boy; only tho girls are now living.
Tho Col. wns a Mason and was a mem
ber of Illdgway lodge for 27 years; this
lodge had charge of the funeral. Quito
a number of the Masonic fraternity
attended the funeral from Reynoldsvlile,
DuHols and Falls Creek. Religious
services were hold In the Chaiel at
Pancoast, btilnn presided over by Rev.
E. Lewis Kelley, of Reynoldsvlile, who
delivered nn excellent and appropriate
sermon. The Col. was well and favora
bly known to most of the poopln of Elk
county and with the citizens of Wash
ington and Wlnslow townships and
Reynoldsvlile. He was a genial, whole
souled, friendly man. A few hours
spent in his company at any time was
Indeed a pleasure. His mind was well
stored with many amusing Incidents
that transpired in old Elk and Jefferson
counties. Although not a graduate of
any college, he was a bright and fluent
talker and well booked In all the affairs
of our great country. He was a man of
extremely exemplary habits, sober and
industrious. In my long acquaintance
with him of nearly 20 years I never
heard hint utter an onth. The latch
string on his door hung alwnys on tho
outside. No tramp, or any one In noed,
was ever turned away with an empty
stomach. To do you a favor whether
he was sick or well, was one of his
greatest pleasures. To offer him pay
was to Insult him; if you thanked him
he felt that he was well paid. If you
did not do so ho would show his char
itable disposition by saying, "O ho has
forgotten It; ho is a good follow." Tho
Col. and tho writer of tills article both
landed at Pnneonst alxntt the sniue
time. He came on flth of July, 1875; I
arrived on tho 1st of July, and many
were tho pleasant hours we spent to
gether. I will miss him )erhaps more
than any other man. He first started
at Pancoast in the merchandise busi
ness. His big heart compelled him to
soon abandon the business. He could
not say no, and when he had given all
away he quit. Notwithstanding this
experience he again, some years later,
embarked In the same business at Pan
coast and once more failed. To his
honor and credit bo It said, while he
was robbed of his own be paid all his
debts to a cent. Ho was a kind and
loving husband, an affectionate father
and as a neighbor he had no superior
and but few equals. His life was as
spotless as his death was painless. His
soul is now up in heaven, away from the
trials, trouble and tribulation of this
world, and I hope when our time conies
to go that wo may be as well prepared
to meet our Maker as our old, kind and
loving friend, Col. Rogers.

There are rumors of new railroad
schemes in contemplation which are
guaranteed as trustworthy, tho con
summation of which would be of in
estimable value to the poople of Jeffer
son county. It Is the continuation of
the Beech Creek road to a point near
East Brady, on the Allegheny Valley
river, where It would form a junction
with another lino connecting Pittsburg
with the Northern lakes. Within the
past half-dozen years there have been
so many schemes for new lines of rail
road sprung upon the public only to
drop out of notice as quickly as they
came, that tho poople are very Incred
ulous and will no longer believe any
such reports, but it Is hoped that In tho
present Instance there is more founda
tion for tho rumor than In others that
were moroly delusions. Brookville Re

It is reckonod a great advantage that
tho avenues of woalth and promotion
are open to all Americans without dis
tinction. But this is not an unmixed
blessing. These opportunities are
fraught with temptations. They kin
dle the avarice and ambition of con
scienceless and crafty men, who seize
upon every meuns of monoy-maklng
regardless of principle or probable con
sequence. The result is financial disas
ters, panics in markets, and incalculable
sufferings. Unscrupulous speculators
are responsible for a large share of the
want which pinches the unfortunate
poor; and unscrupulous political loaders
are to blame for most of the vile admin'
lstratlon of government under which
the people grow restless. Men who
lack the self-control and integrity
which should prevent them from abus
