great stalwart war horse. We always
enjoy his visits nevertheless and hope
he may be spared many years to inspire
the young from his storehouse of
knowledge.
Income From Electric Light.
A rapid cavass of the Borough gives
me a list of signatures of business men
who agree to take collectively over 200
incandescent light equivalents, if same
is sold at not more than 25c each per
month. The canvass is by no means
complete, and we are perfectly safe in
estimating an income of $750.00 per
year right from the start. Add to this
$420.00, amount now paid for torches,
and we have $1,170.00 per year without
any increase in taxation. Now, the
Westfield plant has two hundred and
eight 2000 c. p. arc equivalents in use
and it costs $2,500 per year to run the
plant which is as will be noted about
four times the capacity of the one pro
posed here. Basing our figures on the
experience of others, and using the
most economical fuel our expenses
ought not to run over SI,OOO per year.
This leaves a surplus of $170.00 to ap
ply on first cost, and so far from put
ting a $7,000.00 mortgage on every
house in town the taxation should not
j be increased at the very outside more
than one-fifth of one per cent, on as
j sessed valuation.

The rural free delivery to commence

Howard Benham and a wealthy west

are at present enjoying their honey
moon taking a western trip.
It is claimed by a physician of Italy
that the fumes of petroleum will cure
whooping cough. He says the remedy
is not pleasing, but efficacious.
Geo. Taggart, while handling a re
volver on Tuesday, discharged the
weapon, the ball entering his right hip.
No serious results apprehended.

Warren Mirror: In a proposed con
gressional reapportionment bill which
will probably be introduced into the
Pennsylvania legislature the counties
of Erie, Crawford and Warren, popula
tion 201,062, are classed as district No.
31. If this bill becomesa law there will
be but three reliable Democratic dis
tricts in the State. Mercer, Venango,
Forest, Cameron and Elk, population
168,015, are classed together as district
No. 30.
According to an exchange the love
sick lads and lassies of the old Keystone
State will be forced to find other fields
for their runaway wedding trips than
to New York, as the legislature of the
Empire State has recently made a
chage in the license law of that State.
The enterprising clergymen who used
to tie the knots for the couples will now
miss some little revenues and the J. P's
who used to add to their coffers will be
forced to find other methods. The new
law adopted by the Empire State is as
strict and perhaps just a little more
stringent than that of the Keystone
State.

Ready-made clothing today is a boon
to the public. In late years the manu
facturers—of whom N. Seger buys—
pay strict attention to style of cut and
pattern, and for the making it could
not be better; the only difference be
tween these and tailor-made clothes is
the price- you save about $lO on a suit
when you buy of N. Seger.
To the Tax-payers of Shippen Town- i
ship.
The undersigned hereby announces
his name as candidate for supervisor of
Shippen township in order to find out
what becomes of the money that is as
sessed to apply on the road funds, as I
think there is sufficient taxes collected
to put our township roads in good con
dition. In my section there were no
improvements made on the road last
season and nobody called to work out
his tax on the road. Truly,
H. P. SPENCE
Letter to L. Lockwood.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: James Ackley's house in
Cairo (Catskill Mountains), N. Y., a
conspicuous one in the midst of the
village, was painted 14 years ago with
Devoe; has not been painted since; and
the paint is in good condition to-day.
He is going to paint; hut there's really
no necessity of it.
Devoe has been sold in Cairo 18 years.
Our agent is Gaston Wynkoop. House
owners there want Devoe, and painters
there paint Devoe. It would be a hard
job to persuade a Cairo man to paint
lead and oil—of course a painter paints
whatever his customer wants, even if
it's buttermilk.
Marian Van Hoesen, a Cairo painter,
has painted Devoe for 15 years. There
are two or three others; all for Devoe,
we are told—don't know their names.
It's the same wherever Devoe gets
into a town; it stays there and owns
the whole business.
Yours truly,
18 F. W. DEVOE & Co.
Speaking of Newspapers.
With a news gathering service sweep
ing the world down to the last second,
and with an editorial page the product
of judgment, ability, force, discrimina
tion and real humor, The Pittsburg
Times is conspicuous as a daily news
paper that is good reading always. It
is safe to assert that there are more
clippings of news events worth pre
serving and of general information
made from The Times than from any
other paper published in Pittsburg.
Like a good heme, it is tidy, cleau,
comfortable, and with everything of
the best one finds within its pages in
formation, instruction, comfort and
pleasure as he may desire. That it
conducts no type founders' vaudeville
of freak headlines makes it the pride of
the printer's craft. It is not above re
publishing from the humble country
papers and with whatever it uses it in
variably gives full credit. "The
Wooden Indian", quaint in his philos
ophy, has tomahawked to death many
a tired, unhappy feeling. The serial
story, of the best, is told in installments
neither too close together nor too far
apart. The editorials are written with
sincerity, directness of expression, and
reliability of information that make the
page the daily text book of many a per
son in life's school of facts. Giving
other people the right of individual
opinion it is never a scold nor a nagger.
The Times, first and above all, is reli
able. Its telegraphic service covers
civilization. Its local newsis crisp and
honest. Its financial and market re
ports are accurate. The sporting world
is covered in an attractive way. The
social field is carefully and intelligent
ly cultivated. Six cents a week.

If you are blue don't rub it on others.
The milk of human kindness is some
times as thin and eour as whey.
Some great demonstrations are made
largely as a means of making monoy.
One is sometimes able to make a long
story short by a mere shake of the
head.
Before you go forth to overthrow
your enemies remember that all men
are not built alike.
One may not be responsible for the
wrongs of others, and still be may have
to par for them.
We have been so kind to criminals
that the kindness amounts in many
cases to downright cruelty. By over
generous treatment in the courthouses
scores of men have been led to take
their chances of acquittal and glory.
No man can declare or guess just
what the model newspaper of this cen
tury is to be, either in mechanical
makeup or in contents. Before the
century is over every man may be con
nected by wire with all the news cen
ters and there may be a ticker in every
bouse and in every hat.
A WOMAN'S GLORY
is .1 beautiful head of hair.
Nothing is more disc ou rag
ing than to have this crown- 1
ing gift of nature become
thin, gray or faded. It often #
