Clearfield Spirit.
Don't lick postago atamps, cries a
British medical authority. They pass
through many hands, from the manu
facturer to tho office boy. They are
torn olT, folded and carried about
through postoftiees In disease stricken
localities and sometimes carried in
mail bags dirtier than anything. They
may givo you diphtheria, smallpox or
scarlet fover. They have on tap any
kind of disease that you may call for.
Therefore, don't llek them. Moisten
them with a wet sponge.
Tho Bmnkville lirpublimn Is author
ity for tho statement that Kx-Treasurer
A. O. McWtllinms and board of coun
ty commissioners bavo reached an
amicable settlement of the differences
between them, and Mr. McWUliams
paid over $l,4afl.57, the amount shown
by the auditors' settlement to have
been overpaid him when he made his
final settlement upon retiring from tho
treasurer's office, excepting an item of
$."i4.!)5, unseated taxes which he claimed
ho never received. This settlement
was agreeable to ail parties, and tho
several appeals that were presented to
the court, but upon which no decision
had boon rendered, wore withdrawn.
The washing of roads is duo to two
faults in the making of them. One Is
tho failure to round the surface, so that
tho water may flow off to the sides,
Tho other is the absence of culverts to
carry off the water that thus flows from
tho roadbed. The too common water
bars on country roads are an injury,
rather than a benefit, for they soon
ause tho hollows thug made to become
deeper and collect the water, thus be'
coming soft; every vehicle passing digs
out the hollow and makes it worse,
Culverts should be made under the road
at proper distances to take the wator
from tho side ditches and lead It to the
other side, thus checking the flow
materially and preventing washing out
the ditches. As often as may bo possl
bio tho ditches should discharge the
water off the road. But even this
mothod is only a make-shift: the right
way is to take the water of the culverts
in covered drains, thus wholly avoiding
Jho common washing of the side ditches.
It may not be generally known, says
the Brock way vlllo lirconl, that bicycle
rid. ft bavo rights to use the public
thoroughfares which teamsters and
drivers are bound to respect. In view
of tho rapidly Increasing number of bl
cycle riders in this community this
want of consideration on the part of
drivers is becoming the cause of numer
ous complaints Bnd petty annoyancos,
It sooms to bo the general Impression
that a bicycle rider occupies the post
tion of a pedestrian and should dismount
and step to ono side when ho meets
team or conveyance. This is an error,
A bicycle is a conveyance just as much
as a carriage and ns such Is entitled to !
half the roud or enough to allow the
rider to pass safely. The courts have
decided upon tills question, and the
driver who wantonly obstructs the
road to a bicycle U liable the same as
though ho refused to permit another
team or conveyance to pass. Another
source of annoyance is the efforts of
teamsters to keep ahead of whoolmen
who approach from behind. Unless the
driver turns to one side a little the
wheelmen cannot pass, and is compelled
to poke along behind a lumbering team
In blinding clouds of dust. Many driv
ers seem to tuke a malicious delight in
thus annoying wheulmen and debarring
thein from the common rights and
privileges of tho public thoroughfares.
It is probably thoughtlessness on tho
part of most drivers who do not recog
nize a bicycle as a conveyance In tho
ethics of the road. It is, nevertheless,
just as surely a conveyance as any other
wheeled vehicle, and as such Is entitled
to all tho privileges of the road enjoyed
by any other class. The driver who
wuntJnty wrecks one of these machines
is amendable to the law and re8Knsible
for all the damage he inflicts.
Sell and Rent.
Tho publisher of a ncwspnMir has one
thing to sell and one thing to rent. He
as tho newspoper to sell and tho space
in his columns to rent. Can anyone In
form us why ho should bo expected to
givo away cither tho ono or tho other?
Ho cnn do so if ho chooses and ho does,
ns a matter of practical fact, furnish a
great deal of space rent free. But It
ocs not follow that he ought to bo ex
pected to do so. It ought to be recog
nized as a contribution exactly us would
the giving away of sugar or coffee by
tho groccrymnn. But strange to say,
It is not looked upon In that light at all,
yet everybody knows that the existence
of a newspajier depends as much on the
rent of his spaco and tho sale of his
paor as merchant's sueoss dojiends on
idling his goods Instead of giving them
away.

The Usual Result.
An Intelligent but grasping citizen re
cently received an offer made by a New
York man to "make a one dollar bill go
as far as a five dollar bill." This struck
our friend In a tender spot, nnd ns it
cost but ono dollar to get the informa
tion he enclosed a nice ono dollar bill In
an envelope and posted It to tho New
York firm. Tho desired information
came promptly and was in these words:
''Put both bills In an envelope, address
it to somo person In Snn Franslsco,
stamp the letter and deposit it in tho
nearest Hstonieo." This dollar Invested
in his country paper would have saved
this humiliation, and besides have giv
en him much valuable information.
