A Serious Mishap.
been all but untenanted.
Mrs. Thomas Swyers of Milesburg,
while walking over the bridge at that |

| DRESSING TABLE AND SHIRT-
WAIST BOX.
The trouble with the ordinary
shirtwaist boxes is that they neces-
sitate piling the waists one on_ top
of the other so that those at the
bottom are invariably crumpled be-
sides being inconvenient to get at. |
To one in need of a recepfacle for
waists and a dressing table as well,
the following successful combination
may appeal. First line two soap
boxes with plain bleached cotton
and stand them on end side by side.
A board nailed across the tops of
the boxes will hold them firmly in
place, and a second board is to be
fastened about six inches above ‘the
end
first by means of wooden
pieces,” This forms the table top
while the space between makes a
convenient receptacle for gloves and
handkerchief boxes, veil case and
other toilet accessories. Next have
the tinsmith cut two tongue shaped
pieces of zine, six inches long, which
are to be nailed by the base to the
upper front edge of each box, just
in the centre. Two pieces of broom-
stick are then sawed off just long
enough to reach from the fromt to
the back, one end of each being
nailed to one of the zinc tongues,
and the other to the back of the box.
A valance of cretonne reaching to
the floor should be gathered and
tacked in place with brass headed up-
holstery nails. The upper board is
then covered smoothly and finished
with a flounce which just covers the
heading of the valance. An inexpen-
give mirror hung above the boxes
completes the dressing table feature,
while each of the broomstick rods
within accommodates half a dozen
wire ‘waist . hangers, .which keep silk
and lingerie waists in perfect con-
dition and readily woressidle. —Bos-

The one
prisoner is Frank Barnes, serving a
year’s sentence for robbery.
The Forest county jail has ‘been
empty since Christmas eve, when the
only prisoner escaped. Sheriff Max-
well and his wife went to a Christmas
entertainment that night, leaving their
charge in the corridor. When they
returned he was gone, having “Jim-
mied” his way out. The man’s of-
fense was not serious and Sheriff Max-
well made no effort to capture him.

$75,000 FOR ROADS
Westmoraland County Commissioners
Fix General Millage.
Greensburg — The Westmoreland
county commissioners fixed the mill-
age at 3 mills and 1 mill for building
tax. In making the millage from an
estimate furnished by Controller
Hitchman, $75,000 is figured on for
road building.
After paying for the road now in
