An Emporium lady who decided to scare her husband, who is quite a bard drinker, so he would reform. To do this she procured the costume of a devil she had worn at a masquerade. The next time the erring spouse came home feeling happy she quickly donned the costume. As he opened the door she stepped forward and said in sepulchral tones: "Come in with me—l am the devil." The result rather startled her, as the response which greeted ber, was: "Zat so? Sha-ik, ol'boy, I'm your bro'er in-law. I married your sister." New Passenger Trains.

Elias Day. Elias Day, Characterist of Chicago, will close the People's Star Course, Saturday evening, March 9th. In his particular line of entertainment Mr. Day is absolutely without a peer. It is the deliberate judgment of the most discriminating critics that he is the best single entertainer on the Ameri can platform to-day and this high com pliment is abundantly borne out by the wealth of testimonial ho brings with him. Having heard Mr. Day we un hesitatingly accord him high rank among those whose function it is to furnish wholesome amusement. The chart opens Wednesday, March 6th, at 9 a. m. The Hothers' Meeting. A very interesting mothers' meet ing was held in the high school room, Saturday afternoon, Feb. 23, about sixty mothers being present. A very excellent program was carried out. Mrs. Larrabee very ably discussed the subject "Cigarette Smoking." In her usually pleasing manner she set forth the dangers and evils of cigarette smoking which are bound to come to those who form the habit. Mrs Heilman read a very excellent paper on "Home Study," which was full of good suggestions. Mrs. Heil man was followed in the discussion by Mrs. Olmsted, Mrs. Burnell and others. Mrs. Burnell then read a paper on "Regularity and Punctuality." The value of the habit of regularity and punctuality was very ably set forth by the speaker. The subject, "The Physical Care of the Child as it affects the Mental and Moral Development,'' was discussed in a paper by Mrs. Hackenberg. The speaker dwelt to some length upon the necessity of proper food, cleanliness and physical exercise of the child as they affect the mental and moral growth. The meeting proved to be very profi table to those in attendance and it was decided by those present to hold monthly meetings. The next meeting will be held in the high school room at 2:30 p. m., March 30th. Of Course We Have. Cameron county has nerve. It is in the Legislature with a bill asking the State for $2,000 for the erection of a soldiers' and sailors' monument for the soldiers and sailors of the county at Emporium. This is the first instance of a county asking the State to do what has been done by almost every other county in the State. As a matter of pride the citizens of Cameron county ought not togo outside of the county for funds to erect a monument to its dead soldiers and sailors. It is a weal thy county, for its size, and if it cannot collect the money by subscription, let it issue bonds for the amount, and they will soon betaken.—Harrisburg Tele graph. The Wonder is Coming.

Not only does this apply to associating different colors of furniture, but the colors of the wood work and walls of the rooms must be considered in furnishing a house with any degree of taste Mr. Fry has become very proficient in this art, and many homes bear evi dence of his skill. ' He carries a com plete line of housefurnisliing goods, including everything that is needed to make home cheerful and comfortable. | His motto is: Good goods at lowest | prices.
