A CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.
Our turniture business in Hawleyville is
now so well known tar and near that we leel
Unit we may safely for a time at least cut
down our advertising expenses. An "ad"
to be of value should be changed every week.
We are too busy to do it, besides we heard a
man say the other day that that turniture
man at Hawleyville who advertises so much
must be a tool (queer what big game one
uns on to sometimes when he goes out with
out a gun). Another more charitable friend
remarked to us confidentially in an on hand
way that writing "ads" out of business hours
is liable to lead to soltening of the brain,
mind you he didn't say we had got it, and he
looked away over into the next county when
he said it, but. well we are not slow to take a
int It it Is a blind one. It would be perfect
ly awful if we should really get it (this soften
ing disease we mean) and have it get real
deeply seated belore we kn3w it or before we
had time to vaccinate so we are going to stop
right oft short, give up our advertising col
umns for a while, pocket the money that
would otherwise go into the coffers of these
grasping newspaper monopolists, eat brain
hardening loocl and attend strictly to Business
I. e., selling turniture at Hawleyville.
Now for Heaven's sake don't tell everybody
wiiat you think, just remember bow sensitive
we are to adverse criticism and tell then that
we are Bimply boycotting and playing Debs
with the, newspapers lor a while, don't tell
them we are tired or waiting for anything, to
harden, be compassionate, be just, be con
siderate, be charitable, be liberal minded one
with another and last ol all BE SURE AND
COME TO HAWLEYVILLE before you buy
your turniture. Flease commit this last sen
tence to memory and then pin it in your liat.

f 81'ECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THK BEE.
Eights and duties in the nature of the
case presuppose laws and government of
some kind; and natural laws are the
foundation of social regulations such as
constitute government.
If there was but one man on the earth
there would be laws of nature and the
need of self-government. If there were
but two persons on the earth and they
were to live together there would be
need that they should agree as to how
they were to act toward each other.
And so when we come to society In
general we see that there must be rules
to regulate the intereets which belong
to men in the various relations of life.
Now what is the true basis of govern
ment? The laws of nature, physical,
social and moral. It must be best in
any case for a man to live in harmony
with the laws of bis own being.
So sure as man was created it was
meant that he should live according to
certain principles and plans of the Crea
tor. In other words all good govern
ment is of God, for all good laws are
God's laws. Therefore the sum of all
law and government is to love God with
all the power of life and one's neighbor
as one's self. This is the universal law
of nature in the largest sense.
Out of this universal law of our creat
ed nature grow certain inalienable rights
of the road to make it a pleasant event.
The object is a good one, being to assist
in raising funds for the erection of a new
church at La Jolla, the lot for which
wag donated by F. T. Botsford. The
ladies are interesting themselves in the
good work, so there is little doubt of the
result. The cause is a worthy one In
which all charitably-inclined may Join
in helping. San Diego (Cal.) Union.

BEAXEMAN MOORE'S PREDICAMENT.
A funny incident occurred at Brook-
field Junction, last Saturday. Brakeman
Moore, on Conductor Smith's train, went
into the little switch house to turn the
switch, and after resetting it attempted
to come out, but found that the door was
"out of kilter," and that he could not
get out but was a prisoner. He signall
ed to his comrades his distress and they
tried to push the door open but could not.
It was finally decided to burst in the
door when some one suggested remov
ing the bolt from the iron bar which
controlled the door, this was done and
the door opened and let the prisoner out
after his hot wait in the little switch
house.
The Congregational church pulpit was
supplied on Sunday by Eev Mr Jones of
the Stepney Baptist church. He gave a
forcible discourse from the text, "I was
left." He emphasized the thought that
each person was spared by. God's mer
cy, and that it was the duty of each one
to do the work that lies near at hand.
He gave the message Jo the converted,
bidding them to remember that they
were spared by the grace of God, and
should early seek Christ and Him crucified.
