The town postofflce, as well as the village grocery store, has its quota of aspirants who hold out the glad hand and present their claims to those who gather there. Everybody goes to the postofflce, and the man who hopes to get on his party ticket goes oftener than ever just now, primarily to meet his fellow citi zen whom he would have support him at the primary. Candidates are especially active in Mifflin county, where there are forty-six candidates for six of the county offices. A Lewistown busi ness man said yesterday, one hasn't time there to do anything but listen to the claims of candidates.

READING PASTOR GOOD CUPID AID Lutheran Minister Has United More Than 4,000 Couples in Marriage Reading;, Pa., Sept. 11.—The Rev. Dr. F. K. Huntzinger, now serving his fifty-first year as pastor of St. Luke's Lutheran Church here, has, during his years In the ministry, united in marriage 4,018 couples. He sometimes is termed the "marry ing minister." The number of couples united by him in his long ministry averages about eighty couples a year, or a record of a couple every four or five days. Dr. Huntzinger says not one of the more than 4,000 couples he united ever tried to evade paying for the ceremony. I have been very fortunate in that respect," stated Dr. Huntzinger. In speaking of the manner in which „ the couples present them selves before him for matrimony, he said to-day they all seem to be good people. "They all mean well. I be lieve, when entering the bonds, and those who don't agree after marriage are the victims of circumstances which arise after five to ten years of married life." Alfked whether he approved of early marriages, he said young peo pl# should lose no time. Dr. Huntzlngcr said it is best for a young fellow to marry and settle down. "Of course, this does not ap ply to all. In the general run of people, however, if is better for folks to marry young. "When a young man has taken unto himself a wife, he has added responsibility and will naturally be come a diligent worker to support his wife and perhaps a family. "A girl, if married young, will have more important things to do than run the streets at flight. She will become a good woman and will be a credit to the community. Men and women, married young, do not have time to lead a wild life and become victims of bad habits."

Besides be ing kept busy clearing the sidewalks and street junctions, they were fre quently obliged to rescue groups of volunteer police from serious situa tions. During one of the outbreaks the troops unable to clear the street bv firing into the air turned their guns on the mob. A dozen men dropped to the pavement. One man was killed, while a second died of wounds within a short time. Many others were seriously injured. Scollay Square, one of the amuse ment centers of the city, was the starting point of several big crowds. Thousands would gather only to be sent scurrying down side streets by troopers, who used the broadside of their sabers freely, but it was not until the troopers had fired their pistols into the crowd, mortally wounding an unidentified man, that order was fully restored.

There is such a vast difference between the smart fit of a Schleis ner suit or overcoat and that of the = - usual run of clothing that compari son forcefully stamps Schleisner clothing as peerless. 1 1 There are many men who buy clothing in a haphazard way, yet they are very particular to buy their clothing at a store where they know the stocks are chosen in a careful manner. That is just one of the reasons why the busy man of Harrisburg comes to Schleisner's. He may not have the time or inclination to hunt for the invisible details which make a Schleisner Suit or Overcoat so much better, hut he knows,, nevertheless, that those details are S • i right.
