Learn to avoid nasty remarks they give neither the hearer nor the speaker any lasting satisfac tion. Learn to stop grumbling. If you can't see any good in the world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide aches with a smile nobody is interested anyway. Learn to keep troubles to your-self-nobody wants to take them from you. Above all, learn to smie. It pays.

Time sped on and spring gave way to summer, the fall came to this section but no re turn was made of the license. Judge Fauquet finally addres sed a letter to the parties ask ing that if the wedding had oc curred, to see that the license was returned so that the record might show the marriage. Monday a letter was received by Judge Fauquet that was what might be termed a "song without words," as the license was enclosed without the cer tificate of marriage, torn in two, and well as with several cig arette burns on the document.

"Rainbow in Winter" Weather Danger Monday afternoon near 5 o'clock, the heavy clouds that had poured down the rain from early in the morning, lightened for a short time, the sun in its setting rays brought forth a most wonderful rainbow on the dark and sober eastern skies. The rainbow at this time of year is rather unusual say old weather observers, and to add to this feature of the freakish weather, thunder rolled out to give a springlike setting to a winter day. Old residents that are versed in weather lore, state that this is an omen of cold weather to come, and it was January 3, this is probably a good predic tion, anyway do not trade your overcoat for a sport outfit.
