Referring to a trick that is practiced
frequently by young men under age,
the Pottsville Evening Chronicle says:
"Lehigh county youth has just learned
that it is a bad thing to lie to a bar
tender in order to secure a drink. 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.

so well cared l'or by his owner that
lie becomes a most important member

of the frontier worships his dog—one
of the first things he thinks of when
founding his little home. lie takes do
light in rousing the dogs Intelligence

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.

I that helped us to celelirate the centen
nial of Washington's first inauguro
tion his orders a bout weighing anchor
were disobeyed by his dearest friend
in the service, who was in command
of one of the ships, and as the old
Chicago, the flagship, passed the
trembling culprit the navies of the
world heard "his whiskers" thunder
ing out from the bridge objurgations
and expressing wonder at his own
moderation in not putting his old com
rade under arrest. At another time
when the white squadron was sailing
out of a Mediterranean bay another
old friend worked his ship so awU
wardly that the admiral—then nearly a
"trade dollar admiral" suspended him
j by signul in the face of the whole fleet.
The punished captain, coming aboard
to protest against his public repri
mand, puffed out indignantly, "Why,
sir, I never heard of such a thing."
"Well," said John, pulling at his big
; side whiskers, "you've heard of it
j now."—Harper's.
Guests Who Won't Order.
The business man returned to his of
: fice in a bad temper after the luncheon
hour. "I wish people who haven't
miuds of their own would come to a
realizing sense of the bother that they
are to their friends and would devel
op a little initiative on their own ac
count." he said. "Maylw it's only a
' mistaken idea of politeness, but any
