This youth declared he was 21 years old and secured intoxicants. Later he was ar rested for misrepresenting his age and when called before court, plead guilty and was sentenced to one year's im prisonment. This should serve as a warning to others who are in the hab it of deceiving the bartenders and hotel keepers as to their age in order to se cure booze. Whore the Dog Is Valued.

Jsm PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Bulletin- THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS ON THE RAILS. At no other period of the year does home-hunger grip the human heart with such an eager yearning as at Christ mas time. The lasting memories of the old homestead, the tender welcome of the older and thu merry greetings of the younger dear ones, the happy reunion about the festal board, the pungent odor of the cedar, the witchery of the holly, the lurking sentiment of the mistletoe, all combine to make a lure well nigh irresistible. It is the season of reunion and foregatherings, of meeting and parting. The zest of travel is rife, for apart from the home goings and social exchanges it is a holiday time for many and there are pleasant excursions to be made, where sight seeing has an added relish from the prevalent gaiety and good cheer. The Pennsylvania Railroad is always popular at holi day times. Its system is so far reaching, and at the same time so closely interwoven with the needs of the traveler, its trains are so numerons and so well equipped for the accommodation of every class of travel, and its ticketing arrangements so satisfying that it might be termed the Santa Claus route. lis Limited trains carrying the highest grade of trav elers, completely appointed in every detail, offer except ional advantages to the children going home from school for the Christmas vacation. The boys naturally gravitate to such trains; the girls will find every comfort and safe- j guard, as well as a maid at their command. No matter whither bound it is wise to consult a Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent as to trains and j' rates. lie can start you right: the rest will be easy. 1318-43-2t.
