Often by trylnpr to lighten other pooplo'a burdens we lighten our own and life is the swootor for It. Truo friendship is lilto a. reputation, it l-equires H long time to tfnln cither, but each may lw lost In the twinkling of nn Pensioner will shortly receive blanks from the department at Washington calling for Information regarding their marriage relations. Tho data is to bo filed at Washington and will bo used when widow's and orphan's pension's aro applied for after the soldier's death. The system was originally inaugurated several years ago, but complete returns were either not received at the depart ment or were not properly filed. Tho object was simply to get tho soldier's own statement regarding his social relations. Tho religion that makes people tell the truth: the religion that keeps people from speaking 111 of tholr neighbors; the religion that makes people pay their debts; the religion that makes people honest and upright; tho religion that makes men manly and women womanly; that makes no distinction between wealth and poverty; tho religion that Is part of people's overyday life, exempli fied in deeds, loving acts and cheering words, is tho religion that is most need ed in the world to-day. There is entirely too much profession and not enough of the genuine ivllglon in the world. Tho constables throughout tho state are receiving a circular from the state commissioners of forestry, calling their attention to two acts passed by tho last legislature, making constables ex-ofllco firo wardons. They must report to court the first week of quarter sessions of any or no forest or timber land fires. If thoy extinguish any Bros they will be compensated at fifteen cents per hour, and assistants will receive twelve cents an hour. Any person who is called upon to act as an assistant must either serve or undergo a fine and imprisonment. No county is to pay more than $500 in ono year for such work. One-half of the amount for such work is to bo paid by the county and tho other half by the state. A writer In the Review of Review sums up the attributes of the weekly as fol lows: Each copy is read not only by the five people usually credited to the ordinary paper, but by twice or thrice that number in many instances, for many subscribers pass tholr paper on and on to the inmates of less fortunate homes. These publications aro pre-eminently the homo papers of newspaper lom. Thoy aro not superficially scanned while men travel to business and then loft for brakomon to gather up. They go directly into homes and the reading of them is a duty as well as a pleasure Hence their peculiar value to adver tisers and tholr value as raolders of public opinion." Prohibition Convention.

A system for the finances of the com ing campaign was provided for. Tho W. C. T. U. took an earnest and active part in entertaining the delegates and doing good work. R. L. Miles, Soc, With what a heartache we sometimes hear that a great grlof has overwhelmed some dear friend, a wave of anguish having swept from his or her side that which on earth was most precious. We go and tiit silently in the house of mourn' Ing, our whole nuturo absolved id a wordlese compassion, best expressed by a handclusp, a glance, and the muteness of pity; and when we turn away it is with the fueling that the cloud which has fallen there will never be withdrawn, that henceforth our friend must walk softly In loneliness of soul. A year elapses, or two, or three. We meet again, and we observe that the school of sorrow has wrought its boneficlent work. Our friend greets us oheerfully, enters with zest into life's duties and pleasures, and perhaps forms new as sociations which apparently supplant even the memory of the old. The form or things have passed away, but not so their effect. A beauty surpassing the earner loveliness Das oome to tne iran qull brow, the serene eyes, the tender Hps. He or she who passed under the rod of discipline has entered upon phase of existence finer, purer, sweeter, than anything before experienced, and In self-poise, in care for others, in gen ' tlenoss of manner and swift responsive' ness, and, the development of many grace, the graduate from sorrow's . school has gained inexpressibly. The treasure laid up In heaven enriches the soul that yet tarries on tho earth. The ' -gift of sympathy eudows the heart that has known solicitude, grief, suspense and the pain of hope 'deferred. Peaoe lollowing strife as a blessed token from the Lord Himself Is a seal of nobluty, sign of aooeptanoe, Joy that belongs People Who Pay the Printer.
