For the PRESS Trot out your patent medicines. And bring around your pills; For Spring is now approaching, With alternate sweats and chills. The hen has called the strike off, Which makes r.s very glad, We'll have some eggs for Easter, If they are a little bad. The little calves are bleating, And on their rope they jerk, We will dine upon veal cutlets, Instead of old salt pork. The little Japs are fighting. In a way that's really charming. The anxious Russians hurry home. To take up spring fanning. Here's a little word of warning, To the sickly and the pale. Hang onto your old flannels. If they are a little stale. j. p. ». Good Times Everywhere. With the opening of the business year—April Ist is generally regarded as such—comes the most encouraging reports from all over the country as to business conditions. In Harrisburg business was never better and from all branches of trade comes the answers, "We are active, have nothing to com plain oi and the outlook is very good " Others say, "We expect good busi ness for four years at least, and every indication points to a continuation of the prosperity." Industrial plants are running full capacity, and many on double turns, and wages generally are satisfactory. In mercantile circles there is increas ed activity, and there is satisfaction on every hand. Bradstreet says that reports from 108 cities show a building expenditure during the year of $455,000,000, and thinks it will total with other cities not reported to $600,000,000. In railway building orders have been given for equipement to the amount of $200,000,- 000, and aggregate expenditure for material and labor close to $800,000,000. Figures such as these are collossal, and can hardly be grasped, but big things are happening in these days of pros perity. In mercantile circles throughout the country there is an unusual stimulus in dry goods, clothing, shoes and mil linery, and the lumber and hardware business is booming. There has been a remarkable demand for steel in the past few months. Reduced Kates to Pacific Coast Points. On account of the Lewis and CI ark Exposition, at Portland, Ore., June 1 to October 15, and various conventions to be held in cities on the Paciffie Coast during the Summer, tlie Pennsylvania Railroad Company will sell round-trip tickets on specified dates, from all sta tions on its lines to San Francisco and Los Angeles, April 9 to September 27; to Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Victoria, Van couver, and San Diego, May 22 to September 27, at greatly reduced rates, For dates of sale and specific informa tion concerning rates and routes, consult nearest ticket agents. 3578-9-3t. . y priced buggy.
