LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA- TION. To all whom it may concern : L. A. Dean having in proper form applied to me for* perma nent letters of administration on the estate of Lucy Parker, late of said county, deceased. This is to cite all and singular the creditors and next kin of Lucy Parker to be and appear at my office within the time allowed by law and show cause, if any they can, why permanent ad ministration should not be granted to L. A. Dean on Lucy Parker’s estate. Witness my hand signature this 7th day of March 1898. John P.

The surf is rather heavy on Rowell Sea at present but a tt soo as the waves subside Mr. Rounsa ville’s party will o o o I have been upon the other side of a certain matter for so long a time that I have hesitated about expressing myself as I have often wanted to. Now that I am no longer “editor and proprietor” of the.paper I can afford to talk. Now look here; yesterday I wrote some stuff and among other things «aid, “in an unguarded moment I read it,” the very enter prising proof reader made me say “In an unregarded moment I read it.” Now. thertfore—! —! ? —!!!. Phill Byrd knows what that stands for. Os course I know he is not to blame and of course I know he would much rather have fiad it correct, and all that, but that cuts no ice with me, I have longed .or a chance to cuss back at some body about these unavoidable little things andyl'-am now hav ing my r-r-revenge. * o o o It matters not how sorrowful have been during the \vly(sr months just passed ; it matter's not if we ourselves have reached the winter of life and have realized that after all the griefs weigh heavier than the joys of our alotted portion, the coming of spring is bound to bring with it a sense of exhilara tion that no physical or mental discomfort can down. We go forth in the morning disheartened and discouraged. We dread the coming hours of the day ; thev may have a joy in store for us, but more probably there is a worriment rather than peace. 000 Yet as we pass the man at the corner with his tray of fragrance breathing jonquils we become for the moment drunk with the essence of springtime and the troubles grow misty—in fact, we don’t believe in them at all. They are fancies, not realities, and we invest in a cluster of the sunshiny blooms and trip along with the crowd as light hearted as any member of it. How blue aie the skies, how well every one looks, how happy we feel; the magic of springtime is in our viens and the shadow of pastor future trouble has not the power to quench the bright ness of our thoughts, but by and by the flowers fade, a little chill wind with a suggestion of win ter in its breath creeps up from the east, the sun lurks under a cloud and our mind is brought back to the realities of life with a sudden shock, There are trou bles in the world after all, but we have enjoyed the touch of springtime even if autumn and winter are close upon us. 000 Feeling thus, hoiv can we censure those who in the spring time of life act like the lambs and kittens that they are in very truth, for to them there is no thought of chilling winds that all too soon will blow their rose colored dreams to atoms that can never be gathered together again in the building ot those castles in the air that are the property of youth and of hope, 000 A cat may look at the king, but there the license stops. It is not permissible in the face of loyalty. The gentlemen of the Philadelphia Produce Ex change, who, with their ladies, recently enjoyed a pleasant ex cursion to Washington, are no exceptions to this rule, which seems to apply to all royal per sonages, regardless of color. Ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii still considers herself a royal personage, and she main tains a small court about her in her apartments in the Ebbitt House, at Washington, Every evening after dinner she repairs to the public parlor of the hotel, and holds informal receptions. She is glad to meet all, especial ly American gentlemen, who care to shake hands with her and chat ab >ut her country. 000 Among those of the Produce Exchange party who took the opportunity of meeting her last week were James I). Ferguson, president of the Exchange, and several ladies of his party. They chatted with the ex-Queen for a few minutes, and then moved off' to a distaat corner of the parlor, and soon after forgot all about her. They were talking over one of the amusing events of the day. the recollection of which prompted the ladies to laugh very heartily. Instantly the ex-Queen’s dusky secretary stalked across the lloor, and, scrowling upon the par tv, de manded: “What for you laugh at my Queen?” The ladies were astounded. “You’re mistaken,” said Mr. Ferguson ; “we were not laughing at your Queen.” “Yes; you laugh at my Queen.” persisted the secretary. The Queen herself looked very an gry. Mr. Ferguson and his par ty left the room, and then they did laugh at the Queen and her henchman.” What is Scott’s Emulsion?
