The up river lads, made things decidedly interesting for five innings, and it looked as though the result would be in doubt until the finish. But they lacked the staying qualities. Ludwig weakened, and when the fifth ended the locals had eight runs to their credit. Nescopeck secured but two hits and eleven of their batsmen fractured the air. Passengers on the last car1 to Catawissa Sunday night had a long tiresome ride. The pole for want of lubiication, refused to stay on the feed wire, and at least thirty stops were made, and one hour and ten minutes were required to run from the Square to the Catawissa bridge. Before starting back, the motorman climbed on top of the car and poured some of the oil from the headlight on the base of the pole, and the return trip was made in half an hour. The car is due to reach here at eleven o'clock, but it didn't get in till nearly one. A story ot the folly of patroniz ing the mail order house comes from Candor, N. Y. A farmer there recently purchased of a mail order house in the west some blankets for which he paid $1.95 each. It was afterwards found that these blankets had been made at the Candor factory and sold to the mail order house. And when tin y were sold again to the Candor man they were readily identified as Can dor goods by the manufacturers' tags thereon, which were printed in the Candor Courier office. And the price of these blankets if they had been bought in Candor by the farmer would have been only 90 cents sach. nr bI.ikscs may he jiurtty riht, and pro portionately helpful j but if they are not en tirely right you are not Retting all of tho lienetit yon should.
