LOCAL DEPARTMENT •
A cheek of brass, untarnished and bright,
A supply of gall an unbending nerve,
With sandy heart that naught can afright.
An iron will that nothing can swerve,
The git up and git that can set the pace,
Which others must follow or loose the game,
These are the things in the human race,
That win the prize and which lead to fame.

(ireatly Appreciated.
Two boxes delivered by Adam Ex- !
press company at Lock Haven hospi- j
tal, during the past week, were highly
appreciated by the people of that insti- :
tution, not because the articles donated j
were most acceptable, but also because '
it was exceedingly pleasant to know j
that friends in other towns recognize ;
the good work done in Lock Haven 1
and are disposed to render assistance.
From Emporium came a box contain- j
ing two whole webs of muslin and j
several smaller pieces, 9 towels and j
several yards of eiderdown, besides j

jelly, a nice cake and various packages ;
ot groceries. The box from the Sinne- '
mahoning M. E. Church contained 22 j
quarts canned fruit and 20 glasses of

The man who always pays for his
county paper in advance enjoys the
following blessings: He has never
been sick a day in his whole life and
never will be, never had any corns on j
his toes, is not troubled with toothache, j
his potatoes never rot, his oats never
rust, the weasels never kills his chick
ens, his babies never cry at night, and
lost, but not least, his wife never scolds.
The Anti-Scalpers Law.
A decision has just been handed
down by the court of appeals in a test
case of the Anti-Scalpers laws. The
decision was written by Chief Judge
Parker and states that the law is clear
ly unconstitutional. The opinion re
cites that while there may abuses ap
pear in the business of buying and
selling railroad and steamship tickets,
yet there is no way to prevent a person
from dealing in a class of merchandise, i
Pains in the chest when a person has
a cold indicate a tendency toward
pneumonia. A piece of flannel damp
ened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and bound onto the chest over the seat
of pain will promptly leave the seat of
pain and prevent the threatened attack
of pneumonia. This same treatment
will cure a lame back in a few hours.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
can not get a better price for it?
Ans. —As there is no difference in the
price, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
yonr make is the best?
If both are brought prominently be
fore the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to tho one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and croup there is noth
ing equal to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by L. Taggart.
