WHO HATH WHEELS.
Said tho lorOly city father
Wo shall make tho bikers feel
That this town by us Is rather
Bun than by tho giddy wheel.
Now so slow must be their speeding
That they'll break their necks Instead
Of oupj, as they havo unheeding
Run us down In summers iled.
The speecli of Mrs. Lake constitutes
Borne of tho best temperance literature
ever published.
If you want a good hair restorer,
warranted to start a line growth on a
smooth head, try shoe blacking. It
does sound rather unpleasant, doesn't
It? but there are those who would go
to considerable trouble to acquire a
new crop of hair, and some of them
have tested this recipe. It -was tried
on a dog at first. He was wofully bald
as to his back, from the effects of a
hot water shower bath, and whether
with the idea of Improving his com
plexion, which was of a sickly hue on
the bare spots, or whether tho applica
tion of the blacking was made by acci
dent, Is not explained. However, the
animal soon began to Improve In looks,
as a now assortment of hair of the
correct hue came in to stay. He is
the property of a prominent politician
of this city and naturally ljad an am
bltlon to not detract from his mas
ter's prospects.
Since that time several Scranton men
who prefer hair to a marked intellect
ual appearance, or who aie beginning
to "take notice" with a view to con
tracting another marriage, have used
tho shoe blacking restorative with the
most satisfactory effect.
Now that a policeman has a steady
and perilous Job at the corner of Wash
ington avenue and Spruce street in
preventing people from being trampled
to death, the scorchers, the runaway
horses, "smart" drivers and women
Who stand In front of flying cars or
teams and Jump up and down in ap
palled confusion, together-with a few
Pther lunatics, have transferred tho
basis of their operations to the Linden
etreet corner of the same avenue.

HURLBUTT-ANDERSON WEDDING.
Ceremony Performed in the Provi

One of the most brilliant weddings
that has taken place In North Scranton
for some tlmo occurred last evening In
the Presbyterian church on North Main
avenue. The contracting parties wero
Miss Helen Louise Hurlbutt, daughter
of Jlr. and Mrs. Henry Hurlbutt, and
George Anderson, both of North Scran
ton. In preparation for the event the
church was elaborately decorated with
golden rod. At the altar a bower of
"Golden Hod" and plants had been
made which presented an admirable
appearance. Punctually at S.10 o'clock
the bridesmaids, Bliss Ruth Jackson,
Miss Frances Hurlbutt, of Unadllla, N.
Y.j Miss Carrie Faulkner, of Wnverly,
N. Y and Miss Mary Thorpe, of Gil
bertsvllle, N. Y., appeared at the side

to the main entrance of tho church,
where they were joined by tho bridal
party. A wedding march from Lohen
grin was then executed on the organ
by Mrs. John McDonald.
The bride, leaning on the arm of her
father, marched down the aisle to tho
altar, where they were met by the
bridegroom. After an invocation by
the Rev. George E. Guild, the simple
wedding ritual of the Presbyterian
church was observed by Mr. Guild.
Miss Margaret Bentley acted as maid
of honor and John Athorton attended
the groom. The ushers were George
R. Jackson, Thomas Athorton, Frank
Brewer and Benjamin Thorpe, of Gll
bertsvllle, N. Y.
A reception followed at tho homo of
the bride on Putnam street, which was
followed by an elaborate supper served
by Caterer Hanley.
Mrs. Anderson was until recently a
teacher In the public schools and is
well known and highly respected. Mr.
Anderson is employed at the Delaware
and Hudson sales olllce. They will
leave today on an extended trip through

turn they will reside on Putnam street.
SKY TRIP TO THE KLONDIKE.
Womnn rinds n Rouio to Avoid the
Chilcoot Pass.
The dred Chilcoot Pass, in which gold
seekers must hazard their lives to
reach the Alaskan fields of yellow metal
has already turned' back some of the
bravest and most ambitious for wealth.
Woman, of course, rinds a way to avoid
this raging, seething current In the
Pass; she plans to go by balloon. Her
proposed trips will be written up in tho
most facinatlng style in next Sunday's
"Press," August 22. But, no less
startling than this sky trip would be

here's a devotee to the wheel who pro
poses to travel under the deep sea on
a "quad." You may read about It In
"The Sunday Press," if you order your

that's what you must do if you want all
