A Fulsome Compliment. During Sir. Cleveland's tour of tbe south shortly alter his marriage Mrs. Cleveland and he were driving one day through the streets of one of the larger towns escorted by two of its citizens. Some one threw a bunch of violets to Mrs. Cleveland, and Mr. Cleveland Lent forward to catch it, remarking as lie presented it,"l wonder why no one gives nie liowers." One of the gentlemen present gal lantly replied, "We think you have won ,the fairest flower in all the land." "Ah, yes," returned the president; "but, you see, I can't keep her in wa ter!" "It is uot necessary since you keep her In such excellent spirits," was the reply. Here Mrs. Cleveland interposed, say ing, "I am afraid you are guilty of flat tery," whereupon catne the reply: "No, madam. Flattery is fulsome compliment, and in this Instance no compliment could be either too frnnk er too fulsome." The charm of this response lies in the last and fourth from the last words, Mrs. Cleveland's maiden name being Frances Folsom. A Queer Chinese Notion. One of the beliefs which the Chinese are slowly unlearning is that foreign ers use the eyes and hearts of China men in compounding rare and costly drugs which are valuable aids in magic. Medicine and magic have for apes gone hand in hand in China, just as tliev once did In Europe. Ignorant Chinamen therefore readily believe such tales. The use of eyes of Chinese by foreigners in metallurgy is describ ed In a work called "A Deathblow to Corrupt Practices," published in 1870. According to this, when white Christians had charge of a funeral they drove all the relatives and friends from the house. Both eyeballs were then removed from the corpse, the ori fices being filled with plaster. This was called "sealing the eyes for the western journey." By compounding these eyes with a hundred pounds of Chinese lead, this veracious chronicle continues, eight pounds of silver could be extracted from It. The sight or gans of any other people were useless for this purpose. Marine Rubber Chewers. The sailor, taking a fine, new rubber band from the stationery display, be gan to chew it with vigorous enjoy ment. "What are you up to there?" snarled the druggist. "Just rubber chewin'," said the sail or. "It's a habit with all us navy fel lers. Keeps off gun headache. "Of course you. a landlubber, don't know nothin' about it. But let me tell you, mate, when a sixteen inch gun goes off aboard ship the jar shatters winders, splits planks and brings your lower teeth up against your uppers like a straight left from old John L. "The result is a gun headache—such a headache! But if you chew rubber in firing time it eases off the shock and you don't suffer none. I been chewin' it steady ever since Manila Bay." "Rubber chewing—what a nasty habit," said the druggist. "Rag cbewin's worse," was the sail or's reply.—New Orleans Times-Demo crat. Close Quarters For Washington. At the time, now some years ago, when subscriptions were being solicit ed for the erection of a statue in New York city to President Washington a gentleman called to secure a contribu tion from an old resident who, al though wealthy, was a little "near." On learning the object of the visit the rich man exclaimed: "Washington! Washington! Why, Washington does not need a statue! I keep him enshrined in my heart!" In vain were the visitor's solicita tions, and he was lutfurally indignant at the parsimony of the millionaire. "Well, Mr. 1t.," he remarked quietly as he rose to leave, "all I can say is that if the Father of Ills Country is in the position in which you describe him lie is in a tight place!" The Title "King." The sovereign title of king has gen erally been supposed to be derived from the old British word "gyning," signifying "wise." But the Hebrew term "rosch" is doubtless the root of all the present titles denoting kingly power, including the Punic "resch," the Scythian "reix," the Latin "rex," the Spanish "rtfy" and the French "roi." The German nations styled their monarch according to their different dialects—"konig," "kuning," "konlng," "king." Time's Changes. The captain was receiving the new middy.

Warning All persons are hereby forbidden from trespassing upon the property of this Company without a permit trom this office, or the Manager at the works* KEYSTONE POWDER MFO. CO. Emporium, Pa.. August Ist 1903 24-tf. Railroad News. A record achievement in the move ment of a heavy freight trains has been accomplished on the Pennsylvania Railroad between Altoona and Enola, near Harrisburg, Pa. To determine what could be done in actual road ser vice, as the result of some of the com pany's recent expenditures for im provements, 85 steel gondola cars load ed with a total 4,451 tons of coal were on Monday, June 14, attached to loco motive No. 1113, a freight engine of the most improved type. The total weight of the train was 6,151 tons, and its length from the pilot of the locomotive to the rear plat form of the cabin car was 3,000 feet— nearly three-fiths of a mile. The run of approximately 124 miles was made in 7 hoars and 15 minutes, the average speed of the train being about 17 miles per hour. The Company had made a number of road tests previously, but the perform ance of the 14th surpassed all others. The heaviest trains moved between Altoona and Enola, prior to this record Extraordinary Bargains IN BEAUTIFUL WASH DRESS GOODS From the semi-annual Clearing Sale of Buffalo's Largest Wholesale Dry Goods House.

These runs were made possible by the fact that the Company has now re duced all grades and compensated all curves on the "Middle Division" on its main line betweenNewYork and Pitts burg, so that the ruling grade there is on .3 of one per cent, or less than 17 feet to the mile. The last step in this scheme of improvements was taken lately in the opening to service of the four tracks involving radical revisions of grade and removal of curvature for the 11 miles between Mt. Union and Byde. Formerly, it was necessary to have a "pusher," or extra locomotive, help long freight trains over the heavy grades. Now, it is possible for single locomotives unaided to accomplish these record results. The Ramblers. Last Thursday evening there was a happy gathering at the home of \V. S. Sterner, on Broad street, at which time the young ladies of the Ramblers were entertained by Messrs. Max Balcom Claude Rentz and Lee Felt. The girls were very industrious and brought their sewing, it being the regular even ing for the meeting of the Girls Sewing Society and the boys were certainly kept busy hunting thimbles and threading needles. When the young ladies were fatigued with their sewing and laughing, a light collation was served by the young men, after which the girls proceeded to the kitchen and washed the dishes. At mid-night the hosts escorted their fair guests to their homes. Those present were Misses Marion Rentz, Emma Ellis, Edith Heilman, Anna Welch, Bessie McQuay, Ethel Day and Alma Hertig. Of Interest to Farmers and Mechanics Farmers and mechanics frequently meet with slight accidents and injuries which cause them much annoyance and loss'of time. A cut or bruise may be cured in about one-third the time usually required by applying Chamberlain's Lin iment as soon as the injury i 6 received. The liniment is also valuable for sprains, soreness of the muscles and rheumatic pains. There is no danger of blood poisoning resulting from an injury when Chamberlain's Liniment is applied be fore the parts become inflamed and swollen. For Hale at Taggart's. For Rent.
