And supposing such a law would pass, what would It amount to? Following are the names of the live clergymen who have been chosen by the votes of the readers of the Pittsburg Timm to visit Egypt, the Holy Land and the Capitals of Kurope: Rev. E. V. Trautwoln, of St. Mary's Roman Cutho lli! church of Johnstown, vote "02,""H; Rev. F. L. Tobln, V. (., St. Mary's Ro man Catholic church of Pittsburg, vote 4S7,4(!.-.: Rev. John H. Prugh, D. I)., Grace Reformed church of rittsbnrg, vote 4(10,420; Rev. J. T. Steffy, of the Methodist Episcopal church of Dawson, Pa., vote 37.74l; Rev. J. C. Bighorn, of St. Bridget's Roman Catholic church of Pittsburg, vote Xi!),070. Over 7,000,000 votes were sent Into the Timt during six months. The Punxsutawney Spirit, of which Representative Smith is editor, says; "There appears to be a strong senti ment amongst the members of the pres ent Legislature against the Institution known us the company store, and if there Is any way by which It can bo legally wiped out of existence, it will likely be done this session. The old store-order system grew to be a fearful abuse.. Script was issued, good only at a certain store, and men were paid In this. They could pass It at other stores only at a big discount, and the exorbit ant prices charged at the store where It was taken at par, often made it profit able for working men who received tholr pay In such script to deal at other stores and submitting to the discount. This evil was wiped out by law, but the modern company store, with Its system of agreements permitting deductions to evade the laws, and cocrslve measures to secure patronage, is noarly as bad as the old script system. There may be -some company stores that are all right, but on general principals it can be re marked of them as of Indians, that they are only good when dead, and If they can be legally executed, that is the thing to do with them." State Superintendent Schaeffer, in his annual report, sets forth the duties and importance of school directors as follows: "The framors of our school law deemed It unwise to attach a salary to the office of school director. Tholr aim was to secure for this important office the most unselfish and public spirited men in the community. In naming a guardian for his children the testator selects the best man who in his Judge ment Is available for the purpose. School directors are the guardians of tho child's educational Interests. Do the people always select tho best mon available for this office? The future prosperity of the nation depends upon tho education of thoso who are to be its citizens, and a true patriot will vote, re gardless of party, sux, color or creed fur the persons best qualified to select tho teachers and to manage the schools. In the domain of publto instruction the several boards of directors levy the taxes, disburse the funds, select the sites, build the houses, purchase the furniture, furnish the text books, adopt the course of study, employ teachers, elect the superintendents and determine during how many months the children shall have school facilities beyond the minimum term fixed by law. That per sons are willing to accept these mani fold duties at the risk of criticism, oen sure and abuse, receiving no pay and often leaving their business tn the hands of others while they attend to these duties at an expense to themselves, Is one of the hopeful signs of the -age. Therefore let the office be magnified at home and at the Dolls: let the best men be elected and re-elected; let their ef fort 1 the Improvement of the schools be lauded and aononded by all classes of society; and there will continue to be just gronod for boasting of our glorious system 01 puoiio lnsiruoviou.

All the Toby valley mines with the exception of tho Brock have boon run ning well ever since tho holidays. The mines of the Northwest company and the Shawmut company up Meade Run are busy, and the prospects look bright for a steady run during tho next few weeks at least, so the officials say. The strike at Dubois and Reynoldsvllle is not expected to extend over here unless the men there should gain an advance. In that esse, tho miners tn this field would undoubtedly make a siralliar de mand. Brockwayvllle Record.

While lying Is universal and fashion able, It Is nevertheless Improper to say a gentleman Is a liar, but you can say that he sometimes suffers from spirit of exaggeration; or, ooca slonally finds It a difficult matter to con fine himself strictly to actualities; or you might say he handles the truth very rrelossly; but under no clroum stuoea, must you call him a liar, as it la strictly not In good form, and tells the truth In too strong a language. The Reynoldsvllle School Board have decided to build one school building of twelvo rooms Instead of two or throe smaller ones, us at first contemplated. This Is a good conclusion as It la better for both children and teHohers. It causes some of the children to' have farther to walk to get to school but the advantngo more than makes up for such Inconvenience. Punxs'y JVrtr.
