18 OLDEST LIVING NATIVE OF HARRISBURG TELLS OF CITY BACK IN THE EARLY DAYS North and Paxton Streets Boundaries; Boys in Early 80's Were Bad Crowd, According to Descrip tion of John Sheets , ✓ Four score years 'and three have not duiled the memory of John Sheets, ■who claims to bo the oldest living na tive of Harrisburg. He lives with his (daughter, Mrs. Anna Snyder, hair dresser, at 205 Walnut street. Mr. Sheets, was born in Chestnut Street, August 23, 1833. His early schooling was meager and at the age of sixteen years he was bound out to Till and Main, boat builders, as an apprentice. He was to receive three months' night schooling, and during the slack season he was to have been eent to school. During the five and one-half years he worked for John Till he received no such training, and after his employer had kicked him, he ran away, having been gone six weeks. On his return Mr. Till through his at torney, Thomas Jordan, brought suit Jn an effort to have the lad return to •work. The case was tried before Judge Pearson, and Mr. Sheetz was released on the ground that he had rot been treated according to agree ment of the contract. In 1864 Mr. Sheets married Miss Sarah Schriver, and the next year he and his wife removed to Pittsburgh and later to Allegheny. Here he con ducted a small ship building business, during the Civil war. He returned to this city in 1873 and has lived here since. Mr. Sheets, although 83 years old, Jias a wonderful memory. His nerves .re steady and he does not appear to be more than seventy years of age. He related, many interesting tales of his childhood, one very amusing one about Conrad Nebb, who at that time was Jiigh constable. According to Mr. Sheets, the constable was a sort of a tyrant, especially with the boys. They, on the other hand, were continually making things uncomfortable for the constable. He recited a song they used to sing, which riled the high con stable considerable. The song follows: Here lies the body of Conrad Ncbb, The devil hasn't got him yet. Ho robs the poor to clothe the rich, He'll go to hades, the dirty old witch. Another song which was very popu- the "And what are your other new breakfast foods?" • ****** "More of that kind?

Counts Razor Strokes; Fears He'll Be Crazy Edgar R. Bruton, of this city, says that he is afraid he is going crazy if he doesn't find some way to stop counting strokes of his razor when he shaves. If he cannot devise some way to break the habit, he declares, actual 1 madness stares him in the face. ' Several months ago he decided that he would see how 'many strokes it took to shave. He' counted, shaving in his usual way, and found that he used too many. Then he set about systematicall;- to reduce the number. Counting each time he shaved and eliminating the useless strokes he managed at the end of a few months to cut the daily operation down. But now he has found that he can't keep from counting.—Moultrie (Ga.) Dis patch.

But do you remember when they made it over the coals of the kitchen stove, with a long toasting fork? Browned just right, crisp, and buttered hot. Those were the days. We've gone right back to this fine, simple old idea to make Lucky Strike, the real Burley cigarette. Yes, sir! The tobacco— ! it's toasted. I We made this discovery after five years of experiment. Before this you couldn't have a ready-made Burley cigarette; flavor wouldn't hold. And you certainly wanted it; look at the sixtv million pounds of Burley you poured out of those green, red and blue tin boxes \ last year.
