was largely more matter of personal-
authority. it makes it perfectly plain
that valuable public records are lost
or exposed to destruction by fire or. to
theft st the hands of any one who
feels on interest in making away with
them, or using them in any way.
It is pointed out by the commission
that many valuable records are now
required in be kept in towns where
there is no safe and proper place of"
deposit for them The commission
recommends the appointment of u
record commission who shall complete
and publish a list of public records
and enforce the laws regarding them.
and further advises a committee to
inquire into the feasibility of provid~
ing an archives department in the.
capitol in which ancient records may
or shall be deposited. and into some

it responsibility for recotds which is

to a do a charitable act. to show friend-

day, than today? There is no colon.
and Christmas will be doing is ill

ENOUGH ’i'O CURE A PEGBlMIST.
Odd Run of Good Luck to a Man Who
is Always Complaining.
The pessimist started out to break-
fast one Bundaymorning. This pessi-
mlst is one who thinks everybody u
trying to get the beat of him. and that
he never has any luck. The first
thing he did was to find twenty- five
cents; he complained because it was
a Canadian piece. .
Then he etc o twonty-ilvcccnt break
test and got a twentycont chock. He
paid the twenty~ccut billwitn his Cone-
dlnn quarter. got 11 nickel back. and
took the cable car for church. The
nickel ho had received in change was
not exactly mutilated“ but it was not
all new. it was so worn and battered
that ho iuul been inclined to grumble.
He doubted if he could pass it on the
car. but he did. The conductw took
it and gave him twenty conic in
change. That broke the pessimllt'h
lie handed back the two dimes.
The master felt in his pocket stain
for the mutilated nickel. Any than
who did not know enough to tube a
minimu- gift of twenty cells could
not be depended upon to know whether
