There's a Spaniard by the name of Weyler who is keeping himself pretty close these days and its a good thing he does for if he sticks his nose out too much his carcass will adorn one of the swill tubs of those American pigs he talks about.

It is a $2 treasury note, of the species of 1891 with a portrait of McPherson. It ought not to get into wide circulation, for it is a very clumsy counterfeit.

Just before going to press we re ceived word by telephone that Mrs. Susan, wife of I. K.

A penny-in-the-slot machine for inflating bicycle tires is being placed in the streets of the larger cities and towns. The machine consists of a large cylinder capable of holding one hundred pounds of air, on the top of which is an ingenious mechan-sm for controlling the amount of air which is allowed to escape from the tank. The mechanism is operated by clock work and the tank is said to be capab'e of inflating 100 tires. Should Be On Their Guard- The intimation that Spanish spies have been detected prowling around many places of importance in this country should put every community on its guard against suspicious char acters. If there is good ground for suspicion against them, they should be arrested and searched. If not, but suspicion is still attached to them, they should be sent away from the place with a warning. No chances should be taken with this class of characters.— Public Ledger. I Tested and Tries! I I For 25 Years | £ Would, you feel perfectly j5 safe to put all your money H " In a new bank ?
