Frequently people become impatient with operators in telephone central offices, but if they were to spend a little time in a central office and watch an operator work, perhaps they would not lose their temper quite so often. Re member when you call central that you are not the only person that uses a 'phone, a dozen other people may be calling central at the same time you call. Some times there may be occasion for complaint, but generally the girls give as prompt service as possible when a number of calls are being made at one time. A telephone girl is in a good position to hear people give vent to bad tempers. - v Supt. Johns Resigned. Thomas R.

Holds that Closing the Bars on certain Days is a Legislative, not a Judicial Act. Over in Clearfield county Judge Smith has made a ruling requiring all bar rooms In that county to close on legal holidays, and after the tragic oc currence at Falls Creek on Decoration Day, a large petition was gotten up and presented to Judge Reed asking that he make a ruling for Jefferson coutit.y simi lar to that made in Clearfield county by Judge Smith Last week Judge Reed handed down his opinion ou the request made by the petitioners, which -he refused to grant on the ground that his complying with the prayer of the petitioners would be a legislative act and entirely aside from the duties of a judge. Judge Reed'sopinlon lsalengtby document In which he cltled au thorities to substantiate his position in the matter. Below we print one para graph from the Judge's opinion: "The prohibited or restricted sale o Intoxicating liquors is admittedly a legislative and not a judical question. In this commonwealth the legislature has expressed the will of the people on the subject, and has declared that it be unlawful for any person, with or without a license, to furnish for eale, gift or otherwise, to any person any spirituous, vinouB, malt or brewed liq uors, on election day, on Sunday, nor at any time to a minor, person of known Intemperate habits, or persons visibly affected by intoxicating drink. It is to be observed the legislature has express ly -named the days on which licensed dealers may not sell intoxicating drinks; also the person to whom they may not sell at any time. Here we have a clear and unequivocal expression of the legis lative mind on two subjects the days on which the licensed bar shall remain closed, and the persons to whom sales shall not be made. It is a maxim In the law that in the absence of ambiguity no exposition shall be made which Is opposed to the express words of the statute. Tho act of assembly under consideration is free from ambig uity, and no amount of sophistry can justify a departure from Its plain pro- ' visions on the subject now before the court. It is too clear for argument that to add days to those designated by the legislature, or to enlarge the class of per sons to whom sales shall not be made, Is to assume and exercise a power that does not belong to the judical office. This Is not allowable by law, and can not be justified on the ground of either immoderate praise or unjust denuncia tion. However desirable It may be to have those places closed on other days than those named in the act of assembly, and especially on those days which should be devoted to praise and thanks giving instead of being given over to drunken and riotous conduct, It is more desirable that the judiciary shall not assume the functions of the legislature. Therefore the remedy for this evil should be sought for in the tribunal authorized to prescribe it." Luck and Chance. Luck and chance don't figure In the making of Prizer Stoves and Ranges. They are the result of good materials, careful workmanship and tbe best ex--perlence in stove making. They con tain many good ideas that lighten kitch en work and add to tbe comfort and con venience of the house-keeper. Come In and let us tell you about them.
