He was in conversation with the writer, and in speaking of the unreasonableness of some men, said that he was recently approached by a subscriber to his pa per and asked to publish an article "roasting" a citizen- He consented and was furnished with an outline of what was desired. The article was written just as he wanted it, tnd when it was read to him he exclaimed, 'That's splendid ; that will make his hair crumble." "All right," said trie editor, "Now let me see.what are your initials ?" "Good heavens," said the citizen, "You are not going to sign my name to it 1" "Why not?" asked the editor. "I would not have any one to know that I had anything to do with that for the world. I can't afford to get in a fray with my neigh bors." "Well," said the editor, "Why should I shoulder the responsibility for a matter that does not concern me m the least, and to which you are afraid to sign your name ?'' The man stopped his paper and went away mad. JKxoiting Bunaway. S. H. Harman had a runaway Sun day morning and as a result his hand some rubber tired carriage was almost demolished. He emergedjfrom the Central Hotel alley about half past ten, the animal prancing with exces sive vigor and the high finish of the carriage glistening in the morning sunlight. When in front of the Ex change Hotel the horse began to tlis- iKrt a little too much for Sams com lort. He applied the whip, but it failed fit its purpose. The horse dash sd down Main street paying its com pliments to the dashboard about every ten feet. In attempting to slop, the oorse was turned suddenly to the left and collided with an awning post in iront of Watson's Millinery store. The wooden timber was torn from its post tion and a front wheel of the carnage was twisted off. The horse now was thoroughly frightened and unmanage ib'.e. But Sam was equal to the oc catio i, with the agility of an equestrian he jumped from the crippled vehicle and held fast to the lines until the animal was conquered. Neither Mr, Harman nor the horse was hurt. A REASONABLE REASON FOB YOUR ATTENTION.

W. HARTMAN & SON, BLOOMSBURQ, PENN'A. TOWN COUNCIL. Assemble In Regular Monthly Session. State Cannot Furnish Equip ment for Use at Military Funerals. The June meeting ot Council held Thursday evening of last week was at tended by President Ikeler and mem bers, Rabb, Dieffenbach, Cronin, Webb and Kashner. In regard to the State furnishing the necessary arms and equipment, for use at military funerals, a reply in the negative was received from Adjutant General Stewart. The epistle states that all the equipage now in use by the National Guard of this State had been loaned from the government. It suggested however, that if an effort was put forth by Council, second hand instruments or arms might be secured. The matter was allowed to rest for the present. Bills aggregating $593,91 were pre sented and the Secretary was instruct ed to issue orders for payment of same. The repairing of First street be tween Iron and North -was recomend- ed by Mr. Kashner, but continue J till next meeting, as was also the election of ward policemen. 1 he Committee on Highways is to confer with S. C. Creasy, in regard to paving the walk along Seventh street, below Sixth. Mr. Creaky appeared and stated that in his opinion the cobbling of the gutter is a pre requisite work. A petition to improve Fifth street from Market 10 East, and fix up the paving of that thoroughfare with a suitable material between Market and Iron was presented by C. C. Peacock. Referred to the Solicitor. The gutter on First street near Market was complained of by E. B. Tustin. As soon as pipe arrives same will be repaired. The ordinance question relating to the electric railway was taken up by Council. The fifth and sixth sections occasioned considerable discussion, which finally resulted in the disap. proval of both sections. They were voted on separately, each receiving five negative votes out of six. Mr. Scanlan of the Columbia and Montour Electric Railway Company was asked by Mr. Dieftenbach,whether the Company, if allowed to lay T rails now, would replace them some time in the future if Council so desired, with the girder rails. Mr. Scanlan's reply was that the Company would not entertain such a proposition, as it would mean double work and expense. He then extended an invitation to Council to accompany him to some cities where the T rails were in use. He suggested Allen town and other places in that section. It was moved and seconded that the invitation be accepted. They left on the tour of inspection Monday. The party included President Ikeler, all the members, and Secretary of Council, John I. Tracy. .

The American Flag Association, comprising flag committees from veteran, military, patriotic and histori cal societies in the United States, formed a few years ago to promote reverence for and prevent the desecra tion of the flag of our country, calls attention to the approach of the 14th day of June, the first "Flag Day' in the Twentieth Century. The associa tion earnestly solicits the co-operation of officials and the people in secur ing the widest possible recognition of the day and a general and patriotic celebration. June 14th has come to be considered as "Flag Day" because on that day in 1777 Congress enacted that "the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white: and that the Union be thirteen Stars, white in a blue field, lepresenting a new constella tion. " The stars and stripes now possses new beauty for friendly eyes and new terror for the foes of liberty. A Good Investment, The Black Warrior Copper Co.
