There is a prisoner in the Dan
ville jail, serving a short sentence,
who wants to enlist in the army and
he has written a letter to that effect
to a recruiting officer in William
sport. He says he would rather
spend ten years in the army than
lour months in jail. Too bad that
patriotism of this sort must go un
respected. It has been agreed that newspa
per subscriptions are an infallible
test of a man's honesty. They
will, sooner or later, discover the
man. If he is dishonest he will
cheat the printer some way; declare
he has paid for it when he has not;
sent money by mail and it was lost;
take the paper, but say he never
subscribed for it, or move away and
leave it coming to the office he left.

is the fate that befell Lemuel Hind
es, who resides near Mountain
Grove, says the Hazleton Sentinel.

The Tad of The Year-
If You Have the Poster Craze Here It Your
Chance.
Everybody who is anybody, and
that means all nice people, is interest
ed in the poster decorative idea. It
has so many forms that it would be
almost an endless task to attempt a
list, but the Great Philadelphia Sun
day "Press" has taken hold of one
possibility that is certain to get every
body in this section talking. With
every copy of the Philadelphia "Press"
of next Sunday (August 5) will be
given free a beautiful picture, size 20
xa8 inches entitled "The Maids of
Fair Japan." It is by Arter, and that
guarantees its quality. As a picture it
is well worthy of framing, but if you
wish to be in the swim you will take a
pair of scissors, cut around the lines
of the girls' faces and the flowers, and
then paste the picture on a dark back
ground of any material. Try it and
you will have the most striking poster
effect of the year. It will be neces
sary to make certain early this week
that you can get next "Sunday's
Press," because the demand is certain
to be tremendous and the supply will
be limited.
