It may bo a surprise to some to be In

There lives in this town one of the
bust hearted women on earth, whose
sole fault is gossiping. She will give
the last cent itho Iiih to any one In trou
ble, but will always reserve the right
to gossip about him. She will sit up all
night with a sick pernon uud find recom
pense enough for lost sleep In making
thn discovery that the bod tho patient
lies on has "bugs." She will go to u
funeral and weep like a whipped child
ami And hor reward In gossiping ubuut
the relatives of the deceased not taking
the loss of their loved one to heart
enough to look well. Will her good
heart eavo her for heaven or will her
gossiping tongue lnnd her In hades?
"Only a hired girl," is a mean and
contemptible phruso. It was formed by
some brainless flunkey and has been
kept alive by u lot of hehetudlnous
monkeys who have no conception of
what constitutes merit In manor woman.
An honest girl who works for an honest
living Is entitled to all the respect due
human buing. Some of the best and
most talented women who ever lived
were onee "hired girls," just as many
of the most illustrious men who ever
adorned tho pages of history were poor
boys who performed the most menial
kinds of service. That anybody of good
sense could affect to despise a girl sim
ply because she performs domestic ser
vice is one of tho unaccountable Imbe
cilities of custom. To It is largely due
the fact that good girls for domestic
Borvlce are scarce. Punxsutawney
Spirit. Some pooplo who feel them
selves above recognizing a girl simply
because slio Is employed as a domestic
in some household, might find by run
ning buck over tho annals of time that
their mothers hud worked lu somebody's
Vitchcn. There Is nothing dishonorable
about it. .
'The Education of the Farmers'
Children," was one of the topics dis
cussed at the farmers' lustituto held in
Paradise recently. This Is an exceed
Ingly important subject and one thut
needs careful consideration. As a rule
farmers' children only got about six
months schooling in a year and they
should have an able and experienced
teacher, which Is pot always the case,
and why not? One of the reasons Is
the small salary paid to teachers. True
tho farmer's taxes are high as stated
in the institute yet we do not bellove
It is wise economy to try to run the
schools on a cheap plan. Wlnslow town
ship has level-headed and wise school
directors and It is not our intention to
refleot on their judgment in this mat
ter, for they pay as high wages as any
other township in the county, even
higher wages than tome other town-
shlys, and we believe they pay as much
as the taxpayers in general .want them
to pay, but there is the trouble. It re
quires experience to beocme a success
ful teacher, and bow many young men
teach more than one or two terms In a
country school? They cannot afford to
prepare themselves for the work and
teach six or seven months in the year
at $25.00 to $30.00 per month, as some
townships pay, and the balance of the
year "tinker" around ut something else,
Id many cases before time for the seo
ood term arrives they have secured a
steady position that pays bettor than
teaching school and they give up teach
ing and a new and inexperienced teach
er take charge of the school, and thus
every school terra most of the country
schools have a new teacher. It I a
wonder that some of the farmer' child'
ren get a good common school educa
tion a tbey do. There are always a
lew experienced lady teachers to be
found Id the township schools.
Soft Coal Market.
Coal Trndrt Journal. 1
It Is apparent to one who gives the
subject due consideration that the soft
coal trade Is at presutit In need of soino
tonic Influence which would mako it
more nearly what might bj termed
steady, even if not active; the great
and rapid development of property un
der tho Influence of the prices which
wore had during the first half of last
your has boon productive of the result
so often noted In the soft coal trade an
excess of supply; notwithstanding the
brightness of all Industrials, there Is
the ability to produce more bituminous
coal thnn can profitably be disposed of.
Meetings of the state and district
branches of the miners' union are being
held In tho bituminous regions to ratify
the action of their dulegates and repre
sentatives, which assembled nt Colum
bus on a recent date and made an agree
ment with the employes; It is not at all
likely that there will by any dilllculty
In the lino of this ratification, for it is
one of those formal acts, such as prevail
In political organizations; there. Is no
present talk of any cessation of produc
tion In any district, and soft coal output
Is beyond current requirements to such
a degree that the prices are sagging;
the wages paid for mining arc high
enough to cause the men to take some
Interest In the situation and go a little
slow in tho matter of production en
forcement of the eight-hour day might
help a little at present.
At Buffalo dealers In bituminous are
experiencing dllYculty in getting ship
ments forward, tho severe storm which
swept down the middle of the state hav
ing seriously Impeded New England
shipments. Consumers, however, are
the ones who become the sufferers,
their orders having been filled at this
end with comparative promptness.
Indications of an increased shortage
of cars is again apparent. All the prin
cipal lines are somewhat handicapped,
especially on divisions between Buffulo
and Chiuago, uud a genuine famine is
predicted on the Lake Shore St Michi
gan Southern. On tho soft coal roads,
notably the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burg and Pennsylvania, no serious short
age is anticipated. -

Dear Sir: You know all about shoes.
How many customers have' you who

You have bought and sold shoes for

by your customers liking one sort, and
not liking another. They find out by
wearing 'em.
