Morgan drew a check the other day for $22,500,000. There is nothing wonderful in that. People with little or no artistic training can draw one just as big.

Editor Blackman, of Port Allegany Argus has manifested good horse sense in discontinuing his semi-weekly edi tion and hereafter confining the Argus to one issue weeldy.

The lecture committee is to be con gratulated upon having at last accom plished the astonishing feat of pleasing everybody.

Sparks, who exhibited his show in this city on diflerent occasions, and will be interested in the following dis patch regarding his death, dated at Raleigh, N. C.: "J. H. Sparks, the cir cus man, who was bitten on the arm last week by one of the young lions he was raising at Vade Mecum Springs, died at the hospital in Winston this morning of blood poison, caused by the wounds. Mr. Sparks has invested several thousand dollars in the summer resort at Vade Mecum Springs and he had decided to make his home and build a residence at Winston. His brothers, who have managed his circus for some time, will carry out the plans outlined by him at the Springs."— Franklin News. Common-sense exercised in an ordi nary manner will cut in two the doc tor's bill. Sickness generally results from carelessness and negligence. A man goes out doors without his coat on a bitter cold day and then wonders why he gets a cold. A women coming from a warm room, stands bare-headed on a porch and talks to a neighbor, and wonders how she caught that bad cold. They should know better—they do know better—but they are careless, Nature punishes ignorance and care lessness alike. That you break them through ignorance is an argument for better education; that you break them through carelessness is an argument for the exercise of common sense. - Shef field Observer. The Gileton Leader printed the fol lowing: "The interesting rumor has reached this office that the Buffalo & Susquehanna has purchased the low grade division of the Allegheny Valley that runs between Driftwood and Du liois. This news is not confirmed but it is known tha' the (loodyears have for some time held an opti >n upon the property. This road will form the con tinuation of the extension now Iwing constructed from Sinnamahoniug, where a trestle some 3,600 feet in length is being built to rarry the Buffalo and Susquehanna over the Pennsylvania railroad.

It is said that an enormous electric light plant will he erected in Glmira which will supply light to towns within a radius of eighty miles.

Colonial Co., 334 Dearborn St., Chicago. 51-16t. Pity John D. Rockfeller even though he is a billionaire. But he's got no stomach, absolutely none. He's got on hair. His head's as bald as the palm of your hand. He's got no blood. He's got no nerves, or he's all nerves, if you want to put it in that way. He's got a throat that makes him pray for hypo dermic food every time he swallows. He's got nothing except money, that anyone else would wish to have and he's in hard luck. Mr. Rockfeller has just offered $1,000,000 for a new stomach, and there's no string in the offer, neither.—New York World. Did you ever stop to think what an untiring and steady letter writer a good > local paper is? Week after week, reaching into years, it goes on telling of marriages, births, deaths, the com ing and going of the people, the suc cesses and failures, the accidents, crops, improvements, parties, revival meet ings, socials—in fact, events of all kinds. All is grist that comes to the hopper of a good local newspaper. Why, if you were to undertake to write a letter each week to an absent friend and tell half the news your locai paper gives, you would soon give up in despair The supposed pleasure would soon be come a tiresome bore. It is a poor occupation to be contin ually seeking slights. Some men are forever Ashing for compliments or figur ing out slights. They are thin-skined, weak museled things who need careful handling and delicate tasks. They haven't enough gumption to finish a job without an admiring audi ence shouting words of encouragement; or if perchance they do carry a task to completion and the plaudits of the multitude do not follow, they must need fee! hurt. The only person a man needs to pleasa is himself. And this does not mean that he must be selfish. No man is ever satisfied with his work —if he is a man and not simply ego— but he can be satisfied that he has done his best. No man can do better; and what does it matter what people think? The hearing of J. M. White charged with enticing a little girl into hie room in a local hotel for criminal purposes, was announced yesterday to be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but late in the day it was changed to 10 o'clock this morning. At 10 o'clock a number of witnesses for the prosecution were on hand. Attorney Cunningham for the defendant asked that the hearing be postponed as the defendant had not been able to prepare his case or had he any witnesses present, but Attorney Stone, representing the McKean County Humane society, the complainants in the case, wanted the hearing to be held then and there as the only witnesses the prisoner could obtain today were al ready present. The alderman seemed to favor a hearing immediately and the defendant then waived a hearing. The bail was placed at S7OO. White is an old man and claims that he was a sol dier in the civil war and that he fought on the Monitor in the famous sea on gagement with the confederate Merrl mac.—Bradford Star. Many a fool man casts a shadow on bis own life by standing in his own light. Doctors ought to make good politicians, as they are professional healers.

I H l l B "-"t— —, ~ z: Rural Routes. Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden has issued a manuel of instruc tions for the conduct of registry by the rural free delivery service. The most important innovation provides for the registration of letters and parcels left in the rural free delivery boxes, the carrier leaving a receipt in the box Rural carriers also are required to accept for registration mail matter properly prepared and offered by any one that meets them while on duty, whether a rural free delivery service or not. Storekeepers on rural routes custom arily received the mail matter of their patrons,delivering it to them at the first opportunity. Registered mail has not been delivered in this manner in the past, but it is now provided that on the written order which the addresses are required to leave for the delivery of their mail to the storekeeper, register ed mail also will be delivered, except such as is indorsed by the senders "deliver to addressee only." Tendency of the Times. Th c tendency of medical science is to ward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to pre vent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. Thi3 has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with j implicit confidence. Pneumonia often j results from a slight cold when no danger | is apprehended until it is suddenly dis- i covered that there is fever and difficulty j in breathing and pains in the chest, then | it is announced that the patient has pneu monia. He on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by L. Taggart. Conceit is not an ingredient of conse- ! cration. I have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem- j edy for a number of years and have no j hesitancy in saying that it is the best j remedy for coughs, colds and croup I ' have ever used in my family. I have not! words to express my confidence in this remedy.—Mrs. J. A. Moore, North Star, 1 Mich. For sale by L. Tajrgart. The greatest triumphs of ambition come 'neath the shadows of death's wing. 1 The scratch of a pin may cause the loss of a limb or even death when blood poisioningresults from the injury. All, danger of this may be avoided, however, by promptly applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It is an antiseptic and quick healing liniment for cuts, bruises and burns. For sale by L. Taggart.
