The ohji-ot of Memo rial Day Is to pay homage to thorn who died that, tho nation might ho pre ' served, yet It In generally neknowlodtfod that tho prnetleo of Btrewlnir with flow er tho (rraveg of departed soldiers hits fallen into disuse among those not Inti mately connected with tho ft. A. K. nnd other military orymitxatioitH, the day belnjf devoted more generally every year by the grout majority of our peo plo to outings and out-dour hpnrlM rather than to a proper olwervance of the nlf niflcaneo Imparted hy tho Rolomn cetvmonlal of Memorlul Day. While to many n holiday, such as May .10, Is ono of thiwo occasion that eomo few and far between, it Id nevertheletw a duty we owo to tho old soldier to exerclno a caw lout the day be finally mibjeotod to n detieenit Ion that will servo to Instill a wholly wrong conception of the day and its lessons in tho minds of future generations. While everyone is prlvi leged to observe tho dny in tho manner best suited to individual fancies, the fact should not be lost sight of that tho surviving comrades of the G. A. R Posts, on whom devolves the duty of decorating tho graves of departed heroes, will not be always with us, nnd thnt somebody will have to tako up the work when they have laid It down. Memorial day Is essentially tho old sol diors" day. Out of resect to them, it is evident that a propel1 observance of tho day can only be made when tho end' 1 attnitied which prompted tho creation of May 30 us a State holiday. Tn the May number of the Laities ' Hnmf Journal Kdwnrd W. Hok, in an article entitled "When Men Are Thoughtless,'' says: "I firmly believe that It Is the duty ef every man to lie ' insured. With insurance policies to be had nt such low rates ns is at present tho caso, there Is scarcely a man who cannot afford some sort of a policy, no matter how small the amount it may oall for. What seems to the man him self in good health as a small amount for an Insurance policy often turns out to bu a modest fortune to tho woman or !hlldren who survive hlra. I wish, Sometimes, that the taking out of an Insurance policy, on the part of the , huxband, for an amount according to liia means, might be made an obligatory part of every marriage ceremony. know whereof I speak when I say that thero are hundreds of women In tho homos of this land who are daily carry ing with them the fear that their husbands or fathers are neglecting or forgetting to make suitable provision for them as widows or orphans. They shrink from sneaking to the men of their homes about the matter. No man can afford to neglect a simple duty which may mean all the difference be' tweon happiness nnd misery to his family. Suitable provision for them ho cannot ullow himself to 'put off,' for surely It is true that 'in the midst of life wo are in death.' " Tho destructive forest fires in this State have brought numerous inquiries to the attorneys as to how the men who start them can be punished. Deputy Attorney General Elkln says theauthor- Ity lies with the County Commissioners. The law imposes upon them the duty of appointing persons under oath to ferret out. nnd bring to punishment all persons who cause the burning of timber lands. The expenses are to be paid out of the county treasury. There appears to be a chanoe in this county for the Commis sioners to see that tho law is lived up to. Clearfield Iiqiulilican. The Com missioners of Jefferson county have just as good chance to see that the law is lived up to as the Commissioners of our uoighboring county have, and it would be a good thing to spend a little of the county money in ferreting out some of the guilty persons and making examples of them. Henry Ward Boecher defined a news paper thus: "In the United States every worthy citizen rends a newspaper, and owns the paper which he roads, A newspaper is a window through which men look at all that is going on In the . world. Without a newspaper man is shut up In a small room and knows little or nothiug of what U happening outside of himself. In our day news papers keep pace with history and re cord ft. . A good newspaper will keep sensible men In sympathy with the world's current history. It it an ever unfolding encyclopedia; an unbound took forever Issuing and never finished." What is a Sucker ) A sucker Is a fish, Is not worth the llttlo worm It takes to catch him, but the human sucker Is generally caught on nn empty hook, and hooked In the gills at that. A sucker is tho fool at tho country fair who puts his money on the wheel of fortune, oxeetlng to bent, tho shark nt his own game. sucker is tho "hoodoo" who buys pnekages of sonp with $10 In them for five dollars. A sucker Is tho fellow who signs a receipt for a carload of grindstones nnd finds the next week that ho has signed a note for MOO. A sucker Is a youth who stakes his money on tho pasteboards when ho doesn't know a bobtail Hush from a boiled owl. The BU:'ker is tho windbag who sits around on the street and abuses every laxly behind their hacks and Imagines people don't get to hear of it. A sucker Is tho kicker who opposes every improvement, and rail nt every hustler in town, until some other town springs up near him nnd his prop erty depreciates 75 per cent, and he can't sell it at that'togetout of debt, un til the sheriff helps him out. sucker is a smart Alexnndur at twenty who knows mora than his grand father did at eighty. Tho world and the water are full of Biickers and the shores are lined with sharks. The current is principally down stream and suckers must swim against the current if they don't want to get hooked.
