In a went address before n rounty touchers' Institute, State Superintend ent Sehii'lTer miulo the remarkable stute mont that, "oneh ilny In school Is worth 10.00 to a ehllil." The trouble with minn people. In mrst towns Is they will not cast their bread upon the water unless Ihey aro ussurod In ndvnneo that In a few day It will nil come back to them a full srrnwn wind wlch, all trlniined with ham, butler and muHtard and rolling In a warranty deed for one-half nf the earth and a mnrtf:i(in on tho other half, truthfully remarks mi vxchnngo. An cxclmnge says: "Ono of tho ig nored lawn of Pennsylvania Is that against fortune-tolling. A charlatan of this kind wuh taken before the York county court n few days ago, and be cause ho did not know there Is a stiitnlo that forbids the fnululent practice ho followed, u lenient sentence of $10.00 fine and costs were imposed. The muxl mum penalty is twoyears' iinpi isoniiicn t and 9100.0(1 line." A government decision wus issued re cently to the representatives of various life insurance companies doing business (n this state holding that all life in surance policies are liable to taxation under the war revenue act, except such as aro issued by fraternal societies or order, furmers' purely local co-operative companies or associations and em ployes' relief associations operated on the lodge system or co-operative plun. The companies exempt from the tax must not be conducted for profit. Mu tual life insurance companies must pay the tax since that it cannot bo held that it is a fraternal society or order, al though fraternal societies or orders may be mutual. A Kansas man recently asked for a divorce on the ground that his wife's scolding had become unendurable. He testified that for several nights in sue cesbtou she got out of bed, planted her- Belf in a rocking-chair in the middle of the floor, rocked violently and brought her heels down with a bang at each rock, and for fully two hours sang at the top of her volco, "Oh, wont It be joyful when we part to meet no more It Is hardly necessary to say that he got his divorce. Twelve good men and true might differ as to the degree of suffering inflicted by scolding, but they could not fail to agreo as one man that the rocking-chair act was Inhuman cruelty. , There la nothing in the cry of the un successful, as a rule, that they have not had a chance to make their way In the world. To be sure there are some ex ceptions to every rulo, and wo would not be understood as taking no note of this fact. But nine nut of ten of the failures in life are the result of careless' dobs or dissipation or deliberate folly. Perhaps the succcbsful ono owes some what of his good fortune to inherited tendencies and traits, but it is a mistake to say of two men, born In the same family, one of whom achieves fame and fortune whilst the other, although equally favored by circumstances, be' omcs a wanderer upon the face of the earth, that tho latter's desperato state is the fault of his parents or of any other clrcumstanoes asido from his own determination not to work, or his Crim inal disregard of the laws of God and man. Altoona Tribune. Admires His Methods. The Philadelphia Inquirer dated Fri day last contained the following editor ial notice of tho candidacy of V. O. Smith for congress: Whllo The Inquirer decidedly pre fers to have tho Honorable VV, O. Smith, of the Punxsutawnoy Spirit, con tinue personally to edit that excellent lurnal rather than send him to the national capitol in the capacity of con gressman from his district, It Is honest enough to commend the manly letter in which he announces his candidacy. UnMke so many other gentlemen hold ing similar ambitions, he admits that he has not really been dragged Into tho contest by the importunities of his ends. Ho does not even hint that any of tho district babies lie awake cry ing at night in the fear that he will not consent to run, but tells his people in tliu frankest and plainest of lunguago that ho has long cherished congressional aspirations; that, In order to fit himself for the office he desires, ho served thrco terms In tho legislature, nnd now bo lleves himself to bo competent to fill tho higher positions. The whole tenor of tho letter Is such as to command the respect of his ene mies, as well as friends, and will only tend to strengthen tho conviction, al ready prevalent beyond the limits of his district, that, the district Itself will be honestly and ably tilled in the event of his being chosen.

In neckwear at The meanest kind of a thief Is ono who wantonly trios to take from another the good reputation which ho has ao- .quired by years of right conduct to ward bis fullowmen. This Is some thing that cannot bo used by the person who, by slandor and detraction, succeeds in taking It away, so that ho has no excuse save malice and envy for the ''theft of a reputation. While this is by 11 odds the most odious kind of a theft he almost Invariably escapes without punishment, and often without even In voking upon himself the contempt of bis fellows. If a man robs you of ' dollar, you can send him to jail. It he robs you of your good name by gossip ing about you In it reckless manner, you have practically no redress. Conse quently the person who Is known as a scandal-monger and reputation dauber . ought to be looked upon as worse than ... the professional thief; forhisoooupation is really less respectable.
