Fifty yearn bm;k, moro op loss, It wan considered a trrcnt virtue to be a man of liberal mind and, In a annuo, It still la a very nobln trnlt nf chnrnctcr. lint, since then, the times have chnntfed somewhat iind men have clinnifeit with them. Now thoro aro two oxtrrnii'H, that of bi'lnjf too exclusive and that of being too liberal; and It seem an If we were on the march toward the latter extreme, which, to lire a long term, Is sometimes culled ladltiidlnHrianlsm. In cxtrotnoly liberal times one can well alTord to be a little exelusivb; In deed, It would almost be a virtue to be an, for In inch an ago It 1m well nigh Im possible to bo true to the fundamental principles of any art or science without being nmdit tlin victim of such henorn ble tltla as those: stiff, bigoted, strict, otn. Who would not feel honored with all these high degree conferred upon him by the great college of the people, especially In a luditudiiiurlun ago? It would glvo him the privilege of very properly wearing a high hat and defy any man to tread on the tall of his coat. Only he should koop enough of that excollent arllelo, "Humility," which Ih before honor, and without which noono Is entitled to put on a high hat, how ever great and honorable he may be In v other rosiiects. I do not moan to say that we are now so excessively liberal, but only that we aro gutting a littlo too froo with some of our dreamy notions errors, perhaps, stalking about und axklng for the sumo respect that truth gets. I would not bo much surprised If ogo would rlso tip, mime of those days, and toll us that It Is his opinion that twice two Is six, and ask the same respect for It as If ho had Bald four, and told the truth. Iraiah A. Swartz. A lady of Reynoldsvllle was cen suring President MoKinley a few days go for not declaring war with Spain, and the Question was asked her If she would be willing to have hor husband join the army if the two nations would engage In war. She said "No." There Is a great doal of patriotism being heard now days that la only tongue deep, and If war were declared many of the store box loafers, who are bubbling over now, would sneak off and hide If Uncle Sam would send to Reynoldsvllle forsoldiors. Some of the people are too Impatient. They think the United States nhould declare war with Spain over the Maine disaster before the real facta are made known. Some of the dally papers, that are over anxious to give sensational news to the public, are to blame, large ly, for the war spirit In our country to day, and yet these papers cannot give their readers anything definite. A few days ago we picked up a dally paper and read that the Maine had been blown up by tho Spaniards, and In the same article the statement was made that It was not known posttlvoly how the disaster had happened. Another thing to take Into consideration Is this, that every day of dolay la bolng Im proved by the United States In prepar ing for war, if such shall be tho final result. Whllo some people complain because the President don't precipitate our country into war with Spain, we give him credit for using good sound judgment In the matter, and are glad have a cool-headed man at the holm of the nation. - ' If the tramp Is to be eradicated he must be compelled to work winter and , summer until he Is willing to seek and continue to work on his own account, and, falling In this, be should be kept at work for the publlo Indefinitely. In order to compel him to work he must be given something to do, and the in dustry that Is capable of readiest adap tion to the solving of the tramp problem la that of road-making. The tramp should work the roads, not tramp them at his own will. The State Live Stock Sanitary board has made the regular appropriation of 10,000 for the work of March, April and May.

It will be worth while to watch these people who are "plugging" for war In a time of peace, just for the sake of seeing t-n "root" for peaos in a time of war. I ;:burg Daily News. j Jchn T. Coax says: "All jt:-tar predicated upou oral jr-"r"-- of doubt." Man's Beat Friend. First and foremost woman Is man's best friend: Because she la his mother. Second, because she Is his wife. Ik-cause without her he would be rough and ungodly. Because she can with him endure gain and quietly meet joy gladly. Because she la patient with him in illness, endures his fretfulness and mothers him. Because she teaches him tho value of gentle words, of kindly thought and consideration. Because on her breast ho can shed tears of repentance and he la never re minded of thom afterward. iwchuso snn win suck to a man through good and evil report and al ways believe In him If she loves him. Because when he Is behaving like a fretful boy and they all do, you know at times with no reason In tho world for It, woman's soft word, touch or glanco will make him ashamed of him self, lis he ought to be. Because without her as an Incentive ho would grow lazy; there would bo no good work done, there would be no no- blo books written; there would bo no beautiful pictures painted, there would tie no dlvino strains of melody. Because man would amount to noth lng without woman. Parsdiae. Rov. Bullers, of Brookvlllo, proachod In tho M. E. church last Saturday. Will W.
