Whether you win wealth or not
will depend upon your comprehen
sion of. tlio groat underlying prin
ciples of business and the adjust
nient of your nffiiirs in reference
thereto. All of our renders tire
desirous of obtaining his or her
nhuro of tho world's good things.
This et'.n only lie done by keeping
juice with this progressive age.
One's own individual effort. will
not nufft. What is needed is re
operation. You should keep posted
on all things that you may need to
buy. It is a well established fact
that the consumer (those who buy
at retail) are. paying in these United
States from one to twenty-five, per
rent, more than is necessary, simply
from the fact that they do not keep
posted on current prices. How
long could a merchant avoid failure
were he to use such lax methods in
making his purchases t One would
quickly say such a deider was a
failure from tho beginning, then
why do you uso this method in a
Minall way V It would cost you but
tho request to keep pace with the
times in the way of prices on all
staple articles you are apt to use.
All that is needed is to notify
BROWN & ARMSTRONG, general
merchants, Milfonl, Pa., and you
will receive a monthly price sheet.
They issue this tho. first of each
month. They are also pleased at
all times to furnish samples and to

FOREST LAKE ASSOCIATION

We are just in receipt of tho an
nual financial statement of the For
est Lake Association, ending Nov.
15, 1K1I5, which shows a Imlance on
the credit side of nearly 1X100. This
indicates a feature in the manage
ment of the affairs of the corpora
tion, which will attract attention.
Tho rule is that such associations
have a balance on the other side.
Tho Forest Lake was organized in
1 SH2, and then purchased a body of
hind aggregating about two square
miles, situated on the mountain back
of Mast IIopu. Tho country there
was a wilderness, on tho land were
two lieautiful lakes, tho little and
big Corrillas. The road to the
tracts was through the woods over
rooks and stones for 4 miles, to an
elevation of 850 feet alnive the river.
In two years a wonderful transfor
mation took place. The roads which
had boon the beds of streams, were
made passable, the jungle overlook
ing the Hinds was cleared, and a
good sized club house, barn and ice
house! erected, But growth did not
pause with these, it quietly contin
ued until now the acreage of land ac
quired has doubled, and includes the
large and sujierb sheet of water
know as Wolf Pond. Tho club house
has lieen enlarged to twice its Orginal
size, and is fully equiped in every
department. There have also been
erected six private cottages, boot
houses on the shores of tho ponds of
sufficient capacity to house alxmt 90
sail and row boats, new barns
and outbuildings have been added,
fruit, shade and other ornamental
trees planted.imths made, a lxiwling
alley built, and the grounds laid out,
and in a velvet lawn. At a visit
there in July we estimated tiiat fully
70.000 to 80.000 dollars had lieen ex-
ponded there during the past thirteen
years for labor, buildings and im-
provmonts. During this time there
has Ihh'ii no retrograde movement,
no suits at law, no reorganizations,
no failure to p'ty all bills promptly.
Other associations and clubs have
sprung up and had a brief existence,
and either jwssod under the sheriff's
hammer or are languishing beneath
a heavy indebtedness.
This one is practically free of debt
and its stock is selling for $150 above
par.
It is tho privilege of the writer to
have been one of the charter mem
bers of this association, and its legal
adviser since its incorporation. A
pardonable pride exist in its pros
perity and the assurance that his
servi(s have never been underesti
mated by the active managers, and
that good and lasting fellowship has
been created, and friendships formed
which will be as endnring as they
are pleasant, To Dr. ' Hadden, of
New York, President of the associa
tion may be ascribed much of the
success which has followed it at
every step. He is indefatigable
persistent, and practical. In nearly
all his efforts however he had the
cheerful co-operation of the mem -pers.
The organization was founded on
the idea tliat it should be for the
members, their familes and friends,
a kind of home circle, and this
policy has been earefully and sue.
oessfully pursued. Its unwritten
motto is let it be for our health and
pleasure, not a burden or a depres
ing care.

PRIVILEGES OF A HOTEL."
How the Guesta. Successfully tipped the Em-
nloyeea. Reward for Valuablea Found.
In a recent issue of the Gazette it
takes a traveling salesman totask for
tho meagre reward he gave'a clerk
in a hotel in that town, who had
picked tip a valuable ring which the
salesman left lying on the marble
slab over the wash bowl. We know
nothing of the merits of this particu
lar case,there may have been reasons
why the salesman should hnrve given
a large reward to the clerk for the
recovery of his possessions, but the
general fee system in vogue seems
to be a growing evil. It is right and
proper to reward any one who vol
untarily serves us, and who does so
at any cost of labor or inconvenience
to himself. It is right to reward and
encourage honesty, and to make
evident the fact that it is appreciated.
It is right to comjienaato for a service
not otherwise compensated for, but
we assume that landlords pay their
clerks and waiters a fair remunera
tion for the services they render,
now why should the traveler who
pays the landlord for his meals and
lodging, be expected to tip the clerk
to get a better room perhaps, tip
waiter or waitress to get a choicer
morsel or prompter service, tip the
chamber maid to have his room kept
in better condition, tip tho hall
boy who shows him to his room, tip
the chap who brushes his coat, a ml in
short tip everybody around the estab
lishment. What are these employees
for if not to attend to the wants
and comforts of the guests, to see
that they are properly cared for.and
that their property and persons shall
be reasonably protected during their
sojourn in the hotel V or do they in
tend that those shall be furnished
only in proportion to the generosity
of the guest? The fee system and the
treating system are on a par
and should both be abolished. If
the landlord is paying his help star
vation wages and expects them to
eke out their existense by preying
on the public, lot him so advertise,
if not let him charge sufficient rates
to enable him to pay his help fair
wages, and then every one will be
served alike as those who pay the
per diem deserve. The clerk should
remember that it is only part of his
business for which he is paid or
ought to be to look after the guests
and if one of them inadvertently
leaves some valuables lying aronnd
it should be a duty to return it
without requesting or allowing the
oaroloss person to be "twitted" into
paying him for performing a simple
act of common honesty.
That the salesmen chances to
wear expensive ornaments is no
reason why he should be taxed
a large sum as insurance when he
stops at a hotel.
Must a person to be 1 'consistent"
fee the employees of the hotel or any
other place in proportion to the value
of his jewels or theolotheshe wears V
Are these evidences of his prosperity
or foolishness or whatever it may be,
to be taxed according to the idea of
the hotel employees, or the hangers
on, and if the man declines to pay
the tariff, should he be publicly de
nounced as wanting in the common
elements of thankfulness or grati
tude. Let this fee system be dis
couraged and prohibited. Such
course would eventually ensure to
the benefit of the landlord and pro
mote the cheerfulness and comfort
of the guest.
ST. LOUIS IS THE PIACG.
Republican National Centle, Will Meet le
St. Uule June II, 111.
The national committee decided
to hold the national convention at
St. Louis at a meeting held in Wash,
lngton Deoeinlier 10. The objections
to San Francisco were the distance
and lack of telegraph facilities.
Pittsburg failed because of her
scarcity of hotel accommodations to
house such a large number of dele,
gates.
The decision does not seoni to have
been influenced by any Presidential
politics. St. Louis is now a Repub
lican city and the atate of Missouri
is in transition politically, and this
fact probably influenced the conclu
sion of the committee.

Better roads mean less work for
teams, less expenses for repairs ti
damaged wagons, larger loads in the
same time, and consequently more
profit in carting. Narrow tires cut
up the" roads, while 'brdad "tires do
not. and are easier on horses. The
Act of 1895 provides that all persons
who own and used draft wagons on
the public roads with tires not less
than four inches wide for hauling
loads of not less than a ton, shall
receive a relwte on their road tax of
one fourth, but shall not exceed in
any one year five days labor or its
equivalent, in cash,
As the time for the election of sup
ervisors for the ensuing year is
rapidly approaching, let the people
try to elect superisors who will
build good roads and not poor ones.
Apropos of the above, the law is
that nominations by party premariee

that is by January 31st, and nomina.

A Street Rellwej In Pert Jerit.
Application hs? been made to the,
Board of Trustees of Port JTervia
by a corporation entitled the Port
Jervis Electric Street Railroad Com
pany for a franchise to build an
electric road through the streets of
that village. The officers of the cor
poration are : Hon. Lafe Pence,
president j ttoorge McKibben, vice
president, and S. D. Lake, secretary.
There is a squint in it toward Pike
county in that it asks to run along
Pike street to Barret bridge.
A leatd of Trustees in Difficulty.
The trustees of Port Jervis socin
to be having some trouble with their
police force. Charges of incompet
ency, intoxication and general negle ?t
of duty are made, and the chief of po
lice apjiears to think that he is not
sustained in his efforts to suppress
the various forms of evil whioh are
present and largely apparent,
Wherever the difficulty ma y lie, no
doubt such a competent Board of
Trustees as the village possesses will
in the end take such steps as may be
necessary to solve the trouble and
bring about a reign of law and order.
There is no good reason why vice
should not be suppressed to a greater
extent than appears to be the case
over there, and if it is not the peo
pie should see that some one looses a
political neck.
Wayne County Farmers' Institute.
The recent institute held at Hones
dale, Nov. 29, and 30 was a de
cided success, and much interest
evinced in the meeting. It was
mainly conducted by local talent,
and the addresses show that the
farmers of Wayne are thinkers, and
talkers as well as workers. Some
of the answers to questions were
that it does not pay to shell corn from
the cob, have them ground together
both for milk and for pigs. The
lime question aroused quite a dis
cussion one man said he received
benefit from sowing fifty bushels to
the acre on heavy clay soil, and Prof,
Watson declared that the time is
bound to come when lime will have
no effect on the soil. Mr Woodman-
see stated tliat his plan of renewing
worn out meadows is to give them
a good top dressing, seed and harrow
throughly, It was asserted that it
does not pay to draw muck from the
Bwamps for fertiliser. It was said
it does not pay to plant potatoes by
hand, plow them in and then use the
barrow until the plants are lour or
five inches high. Apply the manure
tne tall before.
When we come close to a giant,
he often turns out to be only a short
man on stilts.
