A smooth swindler has been victimiz ing Catholics in western Pennsylvania, j He pretends te be a Catholic student : for priesthood and also calls himself i brother John. His devices for swindl j ing extend from soliciting subscriptions | for charities to the sale of periodicals, rosaries and other articles used in wor ship. His favorite game is to state that he is the accepted agent for prayer books and other periodicals and to se cure advance payments <>f from $2 to $4, and promise that tho nearest priest would deliver the same. He cleared up more than £1!30 in Titusville during tho time the missionaries were at work there and later has robbed tho people of Mageetown. Patroleum Centre and Spartonsburg. Nearly every Catholic family in Salina, Cranberry township, Venango county, fell a victim to his plausible lies. He last operations were in Rouseville laat Friday. His description is as follows: Raw boned and spare built and about five leet, eleven inches tall. Complexion very dark and smooth shaved. His I beard is heavy, coarse and black. A striking peculiarity is the extreme | length of his neck, much more than j that of the average man and accented j by the fact that he wears a turn-down ! collar. His clothing is black. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1901. Busy, Jolly Santa Cl&us [Copyright, 1901, liy Hamilton Musk.] Santa Clous' long wliito beard, his ro tund proportions, red, cheery face and generally jolly good fellow appearances are borrowings from pagan traditions and art. He Is the type of one who has fin abundance of the good things of life ldmself or can command them by the ex ercise of some magic and wants to see them go around. The chimney and stocking business is *ll due to an accident long, long ago, but trust one so clever as St. Nicholas to know a good thing even if it happened to him, so lie's kept up the trick anil given a sort of sacredness to ways that are sooty and apparel which is one degree be low the uumeutionnble. This was the original chimney and stocking incident: St. .Nicholas wanted to convey a purse of gold to a very worthy family which hap pened to be in deep distress, but he didn't j wish to make the charity offensive. Ho reached the house on Christmas eve and, looking through the window, saw the gray haired nead of (he family hanging up his stockings to dry before a wide, old fashioned fireplace. After the folks had all retired and had time to fall into deep sleep the saint climbed to the roof and, taking the purse, dropped it down the flue with a sort of curved pitch which landed it in one of the stockings. Of course the recipients of this marvel ous gift didn't keep it quiet, and the good old soul who was at the bottom of it found out how much good I*' had done. The next year ho went back and saw the stocking in place for another windfall, so he chipped in another purse. A third year he repeated it, and always after that the old man hung up his stocking regu larly the night of the 24th of December. Whether or not the gold continued to How in tradition does not say, but every t child knows that Santa Claus has been around annually each year since that time ami has filled the stockings in evi dence with all sorts of tilings according to the needs and deserts of the owners, j Kven birch rods, long and tough, have ! been known to whisk from the upper air ! straight down the crooked chimney Hue and land in the stockings of boys who ought to have them. It is no easy task for even a saint to know what each of so many millions ought to have, but ho evens things up somehow so that there is no cause for complaint. He hasn't made any contract, and no one can reasonably complain if the unexpected happens. Some people profess to be able to read character by the feet of the subject. Per- | haps the jolly old patron of gift giving I has learned to read in the stockings put | before him the deeds of the owners, thus j being able to reward or punish. In the j OLD SANTA IN lIIS DUX. good old days it was a tradition that if a miss hung up a stocking with holes in it j she would be punished for laziness. Boys' stockings shouldn't have nail holes in them nor be frayed nt the toes, for the one is a sign of laziness in not removing the nails from the boots and the other the boorish habit of kicking at everything in sight, even the new furniture.

"I suffered for years with a bronchial or lung trouble and tried various remedies but did not obtain permanent relief until I commenced using One Minute Cough Cure,'' writes Rev. James Kirkman, evangelist of Belle Kivcr, 111. "I have no hesitation in recommending it to all sufferers from maladies of this kind." One Minute Cough Cure affords imme diate relief for coughs, coldfi and all kinds of throat and lung troubles. For croup it is unequalled. Absolutely safe.
