A wide circulation is to be given the new game and fish laws as soon as they can net printed. This done on account of tie many inquiries received at the department of fisheries at Harrisburg for enlightment upon certain portions of the laws. A Statistician has figured out that the cost of national, State, municipal, csunty and 'township government in this country is about ,000,000 a day. It is worth it. Six cents a day for each individual is little enough to pay for liberty and all the other blessings which we enjoy.

Reliable statistics are being gathered to the waste-fullness of vagrancy, especially the damage traceable directly to the army 0f tramps. When the extent of this damage comes to be fully realized the people will doubtless insist upon a wise and stringent method of dealing with the evil.

McConnellstown Resident Ends Life to Escape from Supposed Detectives. While suffering under the hallucination that he was being hounded by detectives in the service of the government postal service, Samuel Walker Hoover, a weak-minded resident of McConnellstown, Huntingdon last Friday morning went to the barn and blew his head off with a shot-gun. Hoover, a single man, aged 43 years lived with a housekeeper named Florence Fink. It seems that there is another Samuel W. Hoover getting his mail at the McConnellstown postoffice, and after their mail had become mixed several times, the Hoover who killed himself changed his name to Samuel B.

Hoover. After doing this he began to think that he had committed a crime against the United States postal laws and brooded over the matter so much that finally he became afraid to go to the office for his mail, imagining that there were detectives watching him. About 1 o'clock on Friday morning, his housekeeper heard him get up and, as he went along the hall, going down the stairs, she heard him saj 'Better to be in I 1 than in penitentiary." He had put on his shoes, sat down on the barn floor and, tying a piece of binder twine to his right foot, had fastened the other end of it to the trigger. EVERETT BOY HONORED. E.

The Philadelphia Record of last Saturday says: Edward Burton Robinett, a member of the graduating class in the college department of the University of Pennsylvania, lias been ehosen assistant to Provost Charles C.

Monday, June Uth, was Flag Day, the birthday of our Star Spangled Banner, and was generally observed throughout this great land of onrs. Flag Day is not a legal holiday, though it has claims to be made one than many of those already in the list.

Its significance should be taught the Cyoung and the principles of patriotism which caused the creation of our flag instilled into their minds. It was on June 1777, that the American Congress resolved that "the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union of thirteen stars, white iua blue field, representing a new constellation." No wiser piece of legislation was ever framed. The flag so ordered proved to be the most beautiful one on earth. Except to add a star with each new State there has been no change or thought of Changing this well-conceived enactment cf the Continental Congress. It gave us at a single stroke a rug which satisfied every condition, beautiful to the eye, deTrtothe heart, an inspirer and symbol of patriotism, the standard of our common country: TO MAKE BETTER POSTAL CARDS.

The postofhee department is preparing to issue a new postal Postmaster General Hitchcock has called in the expert chemists of the Department of Agriculture and has instructed tMem to work out a farmula that will give a much better paper than aan be made under the contract now In force. He says the postal cards issued by this government are inferior to the product of almost everyiother country and that it is contemplated to make improvements in the general style of printing and arrangement of the type and designs. It may i be decided to change also the color of the ink and the tint of the paper. The government issues seventy-five million postal cards a month. The present four-year contract expires December 31 nex and in the meantime the Postmaster General is giving personal attention to devising a more substantial and ornate card.

Everett Lodge, No. 600, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, held their annual Memorial services on Monday of this week. These services had been postponed from Tuesday of last week on account of the inclemency -of the weather on that day, and the local order was compelled to ask and receive special dispensation from the Grand Lodge bafore they were enabled to hold the services.

O. F. is the strongest fraternal order in the United States in tiie matter of numbers. The membership of Everett Lodge is about one hundred and thirty, and none but honest, sober and upright men are enabled to enter within the portals of this society, although its members are always prepared to play the part of a good Samaritan in a worthy cause. A traveller passed down the Jerk road.

He carried of cash a pretty fair lwacl, The savings of many a toilsome day) On his Jerk'o home a mortgage to pay. At a turn of the road in a lonely place, Two villainous meu met him face to face. Hands up! they cried and they beat him sore Theno.Tto the desert his goods they bore. Soon a priest cime by who had a fold, He sheared his sheep of silver and gold, He saw the man lie bruised and bare, But he passed on by to his place of prayer. Then a Levite, temple bound, drew nigh; He saw the man, but let him lie.

And clad in silk and filled with pride, He passed him by on tiie other side. Next on the way a Samaritan ca me: (To priest aad Levite a hated name. The wounded mau he would not pass, But tenderly placed himon his ass. He took him to an inn hard by, Be dressed his wounds and bathed his f-ye He paidjthe landlord his full score: If more was needed would pay more. Ah! mauy travel the Jerico way, And nany are robbed and beaten each day.

And many there be on 1 he way i a need, Whom priest or Levite never heed: Add who to fate would yield' alas! If some Samaritan did not pass. He i-e a friend in word and deed Who provides protection in tilu? of need, To disabled travelers by night and day Who have travelled to or other way. MINISTERS ACCEPT CALLS.
