Evory minister In Kittanning, In
pursuance of an agreement, at the morn

it was just as much sin for the mothers

play for ornamental prizes as it was fur
the busbunds and sous to go to the poker
rooms and plsy for money. But we'd
hardly think itquito so bad as that.

of murder and sentenced to be hanged.
The crime was committed west of War

It has been said that the heart never
reHts. But that as au anatomist poiutod
out-is a fallacy. "Tim heart," he said,
"nets a great deal of rest during sleep,
for its beats are far less numerous-that
is to say, there is a longer period between
each. It bus no longer to support all the
activities of the body, but merely to keep
tho life in the frun'ie. As for the brain,
during sleep it becomes pale and shrinks,
the heart no longer having to supply it
with blood to anything like the sstne ex
tent as in iU wikmg bonis. Sleep, in
fact, means a yery complete reduction of
all the vital processes. Even tho tear
glands get a rest. This Is why we rub
onreyos on waking. It is In order to
stimuialo tho glands to furnish moisture
for tho eyes, which have become dry as a
result of the inaction of the tear foun

uish all necessary blanksnd papers, to

Letter to J. E. Armstrong
Tionesta, ra.
Dkar Sir: The police are finding us
out.
Ollicer L. II. Pinney, of Erie, Pa.,
painted his house Devoe, perhaps two or
three years ago the tale don't tell when
the painter objected, but Pinney In
sisted. Two neighbors of Finney's have part
ed aince: one leadtftnd-oil, the other
some other paint, don't know what.
But ollicer Pinney lives in the nicest
painted house of tbe three. The rest ol
the story we don't know: what it cost the
three to paint. We can guees: about half
for ollicer Pinney.
Yours truly,
F. W. Dkvojs A Co.
