LOCAL AND GENERAL,
I wouldn't be a millionaire,
I wouldn't ask for fame,
I wouldn't soldier's laurels wear
Nor nsk one's honored name;
I'd rather have what God has sent
Me. peaceful life, if low,
So write me down that I'm content
With biing Mamie's beau.
We're of the common folk, 'tis true,
We haven't fame or wealth,
But Mamie hath two eyes of blue,
• And I—l have my health!
I'm lord o'r love's domain, beside,
Where fields of kisses grow,
* So write me down as satisfied
With being Mamie's beau.

At the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs.
Elias Shakely, four miles west of Butler,
their daughter, Zelia, was united in
marriage to Mr O. O. Dersliimer. The
ceremony was performed in the presence
of a few near relatives on Wednesday
afternoon, April 10th, by Rev. D. N.
Harnish, after which a most elaborate
wedding dinner was served. Among
the very acceptable presents received
were beautiful articles of silverware
from the Misses Glenn of Grove City,
and an envelope from the bride's father
containing certificates of deposit in But
ler banks which footed up handsomely
into four figures.
Minister Brown, of New York, who
having performed his three-thousandth

tough time collecting his fees in the
twenty-four has taken him to
achieve his record, or else he was suffer
ing from a severe case of mentali dys
pepsia when he gave utterance to his
warning cry. "Don't marry." To the
admonition we see this astonishing indi
vidual conning such sad saws as "a
young man married is a young man
marred." and the rhythmical couglet:
Needles and pins, needles and pins,
When a man marries his trouble begins.
—Nothing can be truly great which is
not right
—Every generation laughs at the old

—A mad Scotch Collie dog attacked

—Some Japanese scientists haye dis
covered that all of these infamous bac
teria are spread throughout the globe
and inside the v hole human race' by
rats. Yes, rats. The skin of the rat is
the natural repository and breeding
place of bugs that will give you every
thing from appendicitis to delirium
tremens. The Japs propose to kill the
rats and abolish pain. Good for the
Japs. Incidentally, let us first catch
the rats.
—Some people claim that the census
enumerators failed to enumerate at
least a 1000 of Butler's population, last
summer. At the time the census wns
taken it is said there were 10500 names
of indivsduals on the mail carrier's lists
in the postoffice, 500 more borough resi
dents on the box and general delivery
lists, and probably 1000 small children
whose names were not yet at the post
offie. This would make Butler's popula
tion 12,000. There are, no doubt, that
many people in Butler now.

As a result of the United States Su
preme court decision declaring invalid
divorces granted in North Dakota in
| which residence was not bona fide,
there came a flood of telegrams to Fargo
from those affected. Owing to the
practice of rushing home immediately
after decrees were granted, less than 10
per cent, of the divorces allowed during
the recent divorce period would be
found valid if contested. Bnt of those
secured a large percentage were aged
cases, where appearance was made by
" both parties. Comparatively few had
- bitter contests, and only in these can
' the question of residence be raised.
Many of the latter class included distin
guished easterners and foreigners. A
' majority hive remarried, and the decis
-1 ion of the court affects the legitimacy
of many children born to second mar
' riages.

Butler Pa.
Dear Sir- Yon sell a good many things
by the gallon. Being a decent man you
give full measure.
You know what we mean: you know
that short weight and short measure are
common enough—well, we hope there
are no short measures and weights, in.
your town. *
There are. though. Ribbons and laces
and trimmings, sold by the dozen,
measure nine or ten yards. There is no
complaint, because "they all do it "
You have the same plague in your goods
—nearly everything, canned or bottled,
cheats in the quantity Almost nobody
gives full weight in a factory-package!
We are one of the almost nobodies.
We sell paint, by the gallon, to paint
your house; and our gallon is just the
same size as yours that you measure
vinegar with —231 cubic inches.
Good paint too —Devoe lead and zinc
—wears twice as long as old-fashion
painter's paint—lead and oil.
You own a house. That's why we are
writing to you.
Yours truly.
32 F. W. DEVOE & Co.
P. S.—Patterson Bros, sell our paint
in your section.

Grand Opera House, Pittsburg
From the quiet pastoral of Peaceful
Valley to the strong stirring militarism
of Under Two Flags, and from that to
the rollicking comedy of the late Chas.
H. Hoyte, A Trip to Chinatown, ate
three steps of progression shown by the
new management of the Grand Opera
House. That Manager Harry Davis in
tends to give the Pittsburg public, in
whatsoever he attempts, as careful,
adequate and liberal productions as even
Mr. Frohman offers his clientele in
New York, can no longer be gainsaid.
For next week's production Mr.
Davis has secured from Frank McKee,
the executor of the estate of Mr. Charles
H. Hoyt. and his former business part
ner, the rights to produce A Trip to
Chinatown, which was Mr. Hoyt's very
best success.

Interest in animals is always keen
among both young and old. The Pitts
burg Dispatch realizing this has made
airangements whereby commencing j
next Sunday. April 21, and each Sunday
thereafter, it will give free to its readers
not only some representative animal in
Nature's kingdom, bu* a cage in which
to put him. The animals are reproduc
tions of the most popular favorities in
the celebrated Highland Park Zoo in
Pittsburg, and with them is given such
scientific information as will prove of
great educational value. Not every
child can visit the Zoo, so The Pittsburg
Dispatch takes this way of making it
possible for every child to have his own
Zoo. Order The Sunday Dispatch from
your dealer at once so as to insure your
getting the complete series, as the edi-
fcii'ii is limited. The series will make
an instrm-tive and entertaining collec
tion when finished.

IMMORAL SUASION.
It Has Certain Advantages
Over The Milder Moral
Method.
Moral suasion, the appeal to the ra
tional nature of man, is doubtless a very
good thing. But it will not compare
with immoral suasion for inducing swift
ness of thought or promptness of action.
The burelar surprised in his raid and
requested to "please go away" will
argue the case in the forceful burglar
way. But when a pistol is pushed in
his face with the laconic order, "Get! "
—he goes and stands not on the order of
his going. The pistol, with its six solid
arguments, is a wonderful persuader, and
in the line of immoral suasion cannot be
surpassed.
It is a reflection on man s reason that
he often refuses to do what common
sense dictates, until he is forced to do
it. Common sense tells a man that he
cannot live irregularly and keep his
health He is warned and admonished
time and again that hasty eating and
irregular meals result in disetses of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition. But because Nature does
not directly threaten his life as the pistol
does he goes right along until he is
obliged to reform because disease forces
him to do so.
UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
It is only when all her warnings have
been unheeded that Nature no longer
savs " You should not" but " You shah
not." This is practically what happens
when the lover of high living has to give
up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments
and come down to a diet of oatmeal or
tea and toast.
There are thousands of dyspeptics
whose condition shuts them out from all
thi pleasures of the table. There are
thousands of others who are on the high
road to a like condition, unheeding the
warnings of the protesting stomach.
The great fact is that every man and
woman who suffers from dyspepsia can
be almost certainly cured by the use of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It always helps. It almost always cures,
j Only two people in every hundred who
give "Golden Medical Discovery " a fair
and faithful trial fail of a perfect and
permanent cure.
"I have been thinking of writing to
you for some time," writes Mrs. W. D.
Benson, of Maxton, Robeson Co., N. C.,
"to let you know what a wonderful
thing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery did for my little boy. He was
taken with indigestion when he was a
year and a Jjalf old, and he was under
the doctor's treatment for five long
years. We spent all we made for doctor
bills, and it did no good. _ % When he
■would take a spell of indigestion he
would lie for ten and fifteen days, and
it seemed as though he would die. He
had these spells every two or three
weeks. He could not eat anything only
a little milk and cracker, and sometimes
even this would make him sick. H$
could not eat any meat or vegetables
and he got very weak; could not sit up
all day, and I gave np all hope of his
ever getting any better. Three years
ago I found one of your books, and on
looking it over one day I noticed Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec
omended for indigestion. We bought
some and gave it to our boy. He had
been treated at Hood's Creek by a good
doctor, and at Bennettsville, S. C., and
at Currie, and Lumberton and Maxton,
and was only relieved for a short time.
We gave him two bottles of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovers
and it cured him. He IB
well as can be and can e?t
anything that he wants
and it does not hurt him.
He has not been 6ick a
day since and it has been
three years since he took
i your medicine. I caq
safely say that he is well."
WHERE Wltl. IT END?
No one can 6ay where
the results of disease of
the stomach and its allied
organs will end. The
stomach is the source of
supply for each organ of
the body. Whatever af
fects the stomach to re
duce its strength and its
ability to provide nutri*
tion for the dependent
organs will also anect the
organs themselves. Heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys, all
must share the " weak
ness " of the 6tomach.
When diseases of the
stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition
are cured by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, diseases of
other organs originating in
stomach " weakness " and
innutrition are cured at the same time.
«I sent you a letter about a year ago,"
writes Mrs. J. Ellis Hamilton, of Farm
ington, Marion Co., West Va. "I stated
my case as plainly as I could, and re
ceived a letter from you in a few days,
telling me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and 'Favorite Pre
scription ' —a bottle of each. I used
three of each, and feel like a new
woman. Don't suffer any pain ot
misery any more. Before using yonr
medicines I suffered all the time—had
jaundice, caused from food not digesting
properly. I would have sick headache
three and four times a week, aud jaun
dice every four or five weeks. Could
not do the work myself. I commenced
using your medicines as recommended
for liver complaint, and I am cured.
I doctored three years without relief,
only for a short time, and then I was as
bad as ever. Haven't had sick headache
since I took the first bottle of medicine."
There is no alcohol in " Golden Medical
Discovery," and it is absolutely free from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics,
