The increase of our merchant marine
is a subject deserving the prompt at
tention both of Congress and of the
people. The scarcity of American
merchant vessels was very palpable
during our war with Spain. The Boer
trouble has intensified it by absorbing
British transatlantic liners, delaying
our commerce and hindering the trans
j portation of our foreign mails. We
I should be as independent on the sea as
I we are on land. We can beat the world
j in manufacturing and land transporta
j tion but we lack the facilities for trans
I porting our goods by sea to foreign
j buyers.—Kane Republican.

Dangers of Newspaper Borrowing.
Here in the latest story of the 1111111 J
j who is too stingy to take his home
! paper: "A man who is too economical
i to take this paper sent his little boy to
I borrow the copy taken by his neighbor,
j In his haste the boy ran over as 4 stand
i of bees, and in ten minutes looked like
1 a warty summer squash. His cries
j reached his father, who ran to hjs |
| assistance, and failing to notice a
barbed wire fence, ran into that,
breaking it down, cutting a handful of
flesh from his anatomy, and ruining a
$4 pair of pants. The old cow took
advantage of the gap in the fence, and
got into the field and killed herself
j eating green corn. Hearing the noise,
| the wife ran and upset a four gallon
j churnful of rich cream into a basket of
I kittens, drowning the whole flock. In
j the hurry she dropped a $7 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled
through the spilled milk and into the
parlor, ruining a brand new §2O carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired man,
| the dog broke up eleven setting hens,
j and the calves got out and chewed the
j tails off four fine shirts." Moral:

A Very Clean Show.
Although the weather was very
threatening yesterday evening Guy
| Brothers' Minstrels drew out a large
| house. Guy Brothers have pursued a
| right managerial policy and are an
j nually improving their show, and this
year they present a much stronger
performance than ever before.
Arthur Guy, with his natural calli
ope in his windpipe, caught the crowd;
Flood Bros., with a very original
acrobatic act made a big hit; Arthur
Guy and Billy Crawford, the dancing
comedians, were entitled to a blue
ribbon, and George and William Guy,
the oldest minstrel team 011 the road,
showed that they are just as young as
they used to be.
The entrance used in the first part is
very unique and caught the crowd
immensely. When the curtain goes
up, unlike other minstrel shows, no
body is discovered 011 the stage, but all
come in"from the woods" in a novel
manner.
One word before closing. Guy Bros,
have as clean a performance as any on
the road. There is nothing "sugges
tive" about the show and ladies can
attend with the surety that their
presence will bo eminently respected.
It is a great point in their reputation
and one which brings them hosts of
friends.—Ann Arbor (Mich.) Daily.

Strange Family Mix-Up.
George 11. Creed, a member of the
Queens county, N. Y., board of super
visors from the town of Jamaica, has
become brother-in-law to his own son
by marrying his son's wile's sitsor, a
Miss Stoothoff of Jamaica.
While Creed is brother-in-law to his
! own son and father-in-law to his sister
| in-law, his wife becomes mother-in-law
' j to her own sister and also sister-in-law
J to her step-son.
Should both couples have children,
the children of the elder Creed would
be both aunts and uncles to their cous
ins, the children of the younger Creed.
Then, the elder Creed and his wife
would serve in the dual relationship of
grandfather and grandmother and
uncle and aunt to young Creed's chil
dren, while young Creed and his wife
would be both uncle and aunt to their
own step-brothers and sisters.
A Family of Tramps.
Mrs. Mary Basin, her daughter, Mrs.
Edith Gray, and the latter's two small
, ! children, who during the past two
years have traveled on foot over 2,000
miles, were lodgers at the Allegheny
police station last night.
The quartet are the most unique and
singularly equipped tramps that per
haps ever applied for shelter at
112 the station. They arrived in Pittsburg
• j from Monassa, Va., Saturday night and
walked almost the entire distance. A
large sled, pulled by Mrs. Gray, held
all the effects of the party. Among
the supplies were a heavy canvas tent,
a number of cooking utensils, smoked
meat, a hatchet for camp use, and
' numerous other articles.
' The members of the party notwith
| standing their privations during tho
. past two years arc all in splendid
• health and are perfectly happy. They
crossed the Allegheny mountains and
I camped out several days when the
I weather was below zero. Mrs. Gray,
. although she was born in Virginia, is a
' typical Western woman and spent
' most of her life on the frontier. She
was married twice and in each case
her husband deserted her. She finally
concluded to take her mother and two
_ children and travel about the country.
. The party has visited most of the
western states and while on the plains
■ j had a number of adventures. Tho
■ j party will leave this morning for
■ | Mercer county, where Mrs. Gray said
. j they will stay with her relatives, until
. j the cold weather is over. They will
■ j then resume their travels.—Pittsburg
I Times.

Rev. McCaslin of the Presbyterian
church, Emporium officiated at the fun
eral of the late J. 31. Shafer and his dis
course was certainly an able and eloquent
effort, replete with beautiful thoughts
that must have been a comfort and con
solation to the friends of deceased.
Confidence in Advertising.
John Wanamaker, who is probably the
largest daily newspaper advertiser in the
world, at one time early in his career
thought seriously of making an assign
ment, having put all his ready cash into
advertising. The returns from his ad
vertising did not come iu as promptly as
he had expected them to, creditors be
came uneasy and anxious, and, after pay
ing his advertising bills, he found himself
practically penniless. It was at this
period of his business career, when des
pair and desperation had almost crushed
him, that Mr. Wanamaker went to the
famous New York merchant, A. T.
Stewart for help and advice. He an
nounced frankly that lie wanted to make
an assignment then and there. Mr.
Stewart listened to the story of his heavy
expenditures in advertising and answered
him with simply one word. "Wait."
After some further encouragement, Mr.
Wanamaker returned home and within a
short period the money spent in adver
tising began to produce profitable results.
After this incident he went iuto adver
tising heavier than ever and his financial
downfall wns averted. The story of his
continuous heavy advertising since that
time is known throughout tlu business
world.—Pittsburg Times.
Does this Hit You.
A well-known pen pusher rises to re
mark: The place to take the true
measure of a man is not on the street,
nor in the amen corner, nor at the
loruni,or in the field, but at his own fire
side. There he lays aside hi: mask, and
you learn whether he is an imp or an
angel, humbug or hero. We do not care
what the world says of him, whether it
crowns him with jewels or pelts him with
eggs. We care not a copper what his
reputation may be. If his children dread
his home coming and his better half
swallows her heart every time she asks
for a few cents, he's a fraud of the first
water, even though he prays night and
morning till he is black in the lace, and
howls hallelujah till he shakes the eter
nal hills.
Advice to (Jirls.
Girls, don't hang around the depot
unless you are going away or meeting
friends, says an exchange. Don't goto
church and take a back seat with your
escort and then whisper and giggle dur
ing the services. Don't be loud, boister
ous or slangy. Stand on your dignity;
don't carry your heart on your sleeve and
don't throw yourselves in the arms of
every well dressed stranger that comes
to town. Be womanly, be modest, be
serious at times; don't unsex yourself and
thus lose woman s greatest charm. Don't
regard your long-legged awkward brother
as a nuisance; don't turn up your nose at
father and his poor grammar, and, above
all, don't play "A Hot Time" on the
piano when yout' mother is having "a hot
time" over the wash-tub.—Ex.
It is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
(N. Y.) dairyman called at a drugstore
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with croup. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.Otto Scholz, says the family has since
recommended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to their neighbors and friends
until he has a constant demand for it
from that part of the country. For sale
