Hln-k ill inir faith, devll-drivinir fnith.' There was a quiet friend near him, to whom tho noisy brother owed a lnrpo hill. 'Amen,' said the friend: 'amen, and plve us debt-pnyinsr faith, too.' " A cynic has said that what we call thu heart is a nervous sensation, like shyness, which gradually disappears in society. It is fervent in tho nursery, , strong in tho domestic circle, tumult uous at school. Tho affections are tho children of ignorance. "When tho horizon of our experience) expands, and models multiply, lovo nnd admiration Imperceptibly vanish." A recent decision by tho Supreme Court holds that roads must be kept in proper condition for bicyclo riding. Bicycles being vehicles of conveyance are entitled to the same consideration as wagons, buggies, etc. If a bike rider is hurt or his wheel injured because of tho faulty condition of a road ho is en titled to the same protection of tho law as is accorded any olher traveler.

Tho same active church and Sunday school worker, "Dor.'t ihink the bountiful calm of tho Sabbath day shou'd bo marred and broken by tho h:uh clung of tho old-fashl'im-dchurch.bell."

Tho Ladios' Every Saturday, a woman's newspnper, says: "Tho good husband keeps his wife in the wholesome ignor ance of unnecessary soorots. They will not bo starved with the ignorance who perchance may surfeit with tho knowl edge of woighty counsels. Ho knows little who will toll his wlfo all he knows." There are plenty of men, and you need not go out of rteynoldsvlllo to find them, with whom a secret is not as safo as it would be with somo of tho gentlof box. Statistics show more woll filled barns to bo destroyed by lightning thun empty onus, Uit I, the risk after harvest is greater than before. The department at Washington investigated and gives reasons as follows: Before harvest the stalks of growing grains and grasses, with their many points and heads, aots as conductors of eloctriclty and serve as discharging points, to some degree neu tralizing tho eloctrio stress in the air. After hurvest the fields are more or loss bare, and the eloctrio tension must be relieved through buildings and promi oent features in tho landscape. In the beginning of the nineteenth century malls were delivered on horses, mules and slow stuge coaches and the postage of those days would be consid ered exhorbitant in the closing days of tho nineteenth uentury. Now our malls are oarrled by lightning express trains and It makes no difference whether a letter is to be carried two miles, or from the Atluntlo to the Puciflo, the postuge is the sumo. The following were the rates of postuge In this country In the yoar 1800: Every lottor composed of a single sheet of paper conveyed not ex ceeding forty miles, eight cents; over forty miles and not exceeding 150 miles, twelve and one-half cents; over 150 tulles und not exceeding 500 miles, twenty-five cents; over 500 miles, twenty five OHiits. Every letter composed of two pieces of pupor, double those rates; every letter composed of three sheets of pupor, triple those rates; every letter composed of four pieces of paper weigh ing one ounoe.quadruple those rates, and at the' rate of a single letter for each omicxi any lottor or packet may weigh, every whip letter originally received at an office for delivery, with six cents. ( "THE HOPELESS DOZEN." First Banquet a Joyous Affair Photo ' ' graphed in Real Life. Reynoldsvlllo has a now organization that has been christened by Its found ers, " The Hopeless Dozen." The club Is composed of a dozen men, nil of whom have traversed this mundano sphere long enough to have taken unto them selves helpmates, but are now called bachelors. Tho membership Is limited to one dozen and according to tho by-laws and constitution of the club only death or marriage creates a vacancy. Tho first banquet was given by Minn Host' Black, proprietor of Hotel MeConnell, one of tho members of the club. Whllo the members of the new club have ne ver enjoyed the bliss nnd true happiness of having a place they can call homo that Is presided over by a sweet, loving crea ture of tho tender sex whom they can call wife who Is solicitous about their every want and to whom they enn un bosom their secrets and get solneo In times of trouble, yet they nro all epi cureans of the most fastidious typo nnd they relished tho elaborate banquet Thursday night Immensely, nnd during their two hours of noisy mirth, merri ment and festivity In tho Hotel MeCon nell dining room they thought they could get along real nicely on tho plat form of life without yoking themselves to the members of tho human raeo who aro so anxious to seo milliners and dress makers succeed in business, nnd yet were it not for tho fact that Adam lost one of his rib we venture tho assertion that tho "Hopeless Dozen" would not have fared so sumptuously. The bill of faro was gotten up In a unique style by Mr. Hlaek nnd nicely printed with appropriate sentiments, as follows: Chicken spring fried with dressing, "Don't count your chickens ore they're hatched:'' baked --fish brown potatoes, "The great ones eat up tho little ones;" killed ham, "Ayo, marry: 'twill put flesh on thy rilw:" oysters raw, "Ho was a bold man that flrstato an oyster:" oysters fried, "This mouth has an 'It' In it;" tomatocB baked, "Love's apples have naught to do with us;" potatoes Saratngo chips. We'll "Hew to tho line, let tho chips fall where they may;" salad salmon, "In union thero Is strength;" homo-made bread, warm bis cuit, city bread, brown bread, "Tho staff of life;" tea coffee iced tea milk, "Tho cup that cheers, but does not Inebriate;" celery, gherkins, Worcestershire sauce, Bnlad dressing, olives, chow chow, assorted pickles, "Typical of married life;" fruits nuts assorted cake, "Eat, drink nnd bo mer ry, for to-morrow you may 1m; married" Revised; tobacco, "Sublime tobneco, divino tobacco! puss the cigars." "Tho Hopeless Dozen" wcro so badly stuck on themselves after tho banquet that on Friday morning they mot at Corwln's photograph gallery nnd pre pared themselves to have their pictures taken or smash tho camera Into smith ereens In tho nttompt. If you seo ono of tho pictures you will seo ono of real bachelor life, as follows: Chas. W. Kah, sowing patch on pants; (1. J. Cor wln. threading needle; C. B. French, sowing on button; J. C.

He did not "pass' by on the other side," but on tho contrary ho took the young man to a clothing store and purchased for him a new outfit from hoad to feet bat, shirt, collar, new suit and new shoos. How ard then took a bath and was shaved, apd donned his new garment. And ho walked down street beside the kind hearted farmer from Armstrong county looking as joyful as a clam at high tide.

Tho hour Is after midnight, when, In tho most fashionable quarter of tho city, the sumptuous hoine of one of the Iwst known editors has been forcibly entered by a burglar. Tho Inmates peacefully slumlier, unconscious of danger, all but a little tot of six yenrs, whoso acute ears have discerned a noiso unusual at that tlmo of night. Too In nocent to be conscious of danger she leaves her room, and entering tho family sitting-room, suddenly confronts the burglar, who noiselessly as possible Is securing the family sliver, when, to his surprise, ho becomes conscious of tho littlo one's presence. With pistol In hand, approaching tho child and alert for an outcry, his surprised enrs are greeted with tho exclamation "Don't 1)0 afraid, Mr. Burglar, I won't hurt you!" Following this is ono of tho most effective sconos of Mr. (Jus Thomas' famous play of "Tho Burglar." At the Reynolds opera house Oct. 1st. Tickets on sulo at Stoko's drug store. Drowned In the Mines. Three mules were drowned In tho mines at Beechtreo on Saturday under peculiar circumstances. They got away from their driver nnd wandered Into an abandoned heading which was full of water.

Thore they were found drowned later on when sonreh was Instituted for them. Brockwnyvlllo llinmh Notice to Stock Owners.

The Newspapers are Honest. In a court room a lawyer may cull a wltnoss a liar, scoundrel, villain or a thief, and no one makes complaint when the court adjourns, says the Bradford llccnrd. If a newspaper prints such a reflection on a man's chnractor thore Is a libel suit or perhaps a dead editor. This Is owing to the fact that the peo ple believe what the editor says; what tho lawyor says cuts no figure. Ex. Ladles, have you seen tho latest stylo shoes at Gilblom's ?
