if the loose stones were removed.

When he's little the big girls kiss him;
when he's growu only the little ones do.
If he's poor, he's a bad manager; if he's
rich, he's dishouest. If he needs credit,
he can't get it; If he's prosperous, every
one wants to do him a favor. If he's In
politics, it's for pie: if he's out of politics,
you can't place him, and he's no good for
his country. If be doesn't give to charity,
he's a tight-wad; if lie does It's for show.
If he's actively religious, he's a hypocrite;
if be takes no Interest in religion he's a
hardened sinner. If he shows affection,
he's a soft specimen; ifhe seems to care
for no one, bo's cold-blooded. Ifhe tries
to be friendly, he Is an easy mark; if he
doesn't he's stuck np. Ifhedies young,
there was a great future ahead of him; if
be lives to an old age, be has missed his
calling. "What's the use?"

bad patronized a church social and eaten
copiously of the ice cream that was served
and were poisoned. More than 30 people
were affected many of them seriously,
but all were In a fair way to recovery

extract was responsible for the trouble.

Bill Nye had the truth well told when
be said: "A man may use a wart on the
back of bis neck for a callar button; ride
on the back coach of a railroad train to
save interest on bis money till the con
ductor gets around; stop bis watch at
nlgbt to save wear and tear; leave his T
or 't' without a dot or cross to save ink;
pasture his mother's grave to save corn;
but a man of this sort is a gentleman and
a scholar compared to the fellow who will
take a newspaper two or thiee years and
when asked to pay for it, put it into the
office and have it marked 'ro fused.' "
The alumni of the Ediuboro Normal
School is sending out an appeal to all
former students, especially to those who
attended between the years 1X01 to 1802,
asking for financial aid to purchase a
home for Prof, and Mrs, J. A. Cooper,
The aged Professor, who was principal of
the school during that period has been
forced, after a long, laborious service in
the cause of education, to give up his
comfortable home and take rooms on the
second floor of a very old building, and
it is to give the aged couple a borne where
they can find that rest and peace to which
tbey are so much entitled in their declin
ing years that the appeal is made. In all
probability the response will be quite
generous as it should be.
Hon. George Maloney, one of the best
known, best beloved and most enterpris
ing citizens of Franklin, died suddenly
Monday morning of thli week In the Jof
ferson hospital, Philadelphia. He had
left borne about ten days prior for an
eastern trip and while in Pniladelpbia
was seized with an attack of appendicitis
and peritonitis. His condition was such
as to forbid an operation. Mr. Maloney
was in his 50th year, and most of his use
ful and energetic life was spent in the oil
regions of this state, where be was a
prominent figure for nearly forty years.
He was quite prominent in politics, being
an ardent Democrat, and was twice elect
ed Mayor of Franklin, and twice to the
legislature from Venaugo county.
Ira Sain uelson, of Warren, who has
the coutract of moving and rebuildiug
the old Bonner bouse for F. K. Lanson,
found an Interesting relio tucked away
between the ceiling and floor of the
building, on Saturday. The relio is a
message In pamphlet form from Gov.
Francis B. Shunk to the Pennsylvania
Legislature and is dated Jan. 5, 1818. The
most important statement in the message
is a strong recommendation against spec
ial legislation, which was prohibited un
der the new constitution of 1873, so it will
be noticed the reform was a long time
coming. Old residents inform us that
the house was built in 1852 for Hamilton
Stow and that William McKlnley, Gil
bert McKlnloy and other old-time arti
sans did the carpenter work.

An Immense crowd of his old neighbors
