More profit- able than during the flush Civil War era. While prices for farm products may have in some instances, ruled a little higher, the sugar, cotton and other store staples commanded very much more in exchange than now.

At the Loomis Opera House Tonight. “Playing the Game” Is a comedy distinct from the general run of farce which has been dished up for many years past, inasmuch as it has a plau- sible, coherent plot, and the comedy comes naturally in the untolding. The! authors, Messrs. Cleveland and Hart- | ley Davisley Davis, has made it pos- | sible for every handsome scenic dis- play, one scene showing the Reading and Writing room of the ‘amous Wats dorf-Astoria Hotel, and the other, an exact reproduction of a famous ar- tists's studio. This comedy was writ- | ten for Joseph and Wiliam W_ Jeffer- son, the two sons of the late Joseph Jefferson, who made such a hit In their enormous success, “The Rly- als” You ought to know what you giving Use Caseas Brary State Farmer Whe Had Sworn Off Priakicg in Waverly, Bat Whe Get Prunk in Sayre. With apparently honest tears streaming down his cheeks, Pat O'Dell who said that he gained a livelihood by tilling a farm up in York state, pleaded bard for leniency yesterday morning when he was arraigned be: fore Jytice Carey on a charge of be- ing drunk and disorderly. * Pat says tha! herefofore he has been accustom- ed to stopping In Waverly when he feit himself possessed of an uncon- querable thirst, but recently he had worn off drinking in Waverly. There- fore on Saturday morning when he felt like imbibing a few high ones, he passed Waverly by and landed in Sayre. The product sold here, how- ever, produces the same exhilerating effect and paints the same beautiful landscapes on the brain as that fur- uished in Waverly. Pat spent nearly all day in Sayre and when he was founded up late Saturday night by the poilce he had undisputed ttle to 4 jag which would make an old roun- der turn pea green with envy. When Pat awoke yesterday morning he was occups ing one of the cells In the bor- ough’'s bome for large colonles of orphan bugs. When arraigned he was penniless and admitted his guilt. His nervous system was more or less up- set, and tears streamed down his cheeks as he pleaded to be allowed to go home. Upon making a solemn promise to go home and keep sober hereafter sentence was suspended and he departed for the wilds of York state LEMIGH ERECTING ’ BIG PLATFOMM.

Valley Has Cut Of Leng Runs of Freight Crews—Makes More Work at Coxton. The Lehigh Valley raliroad has just put into effect an important change in the method of handling fast freight on the Wyoming and P. & N.Y. di vislons. It means additional work in Coxton yard and will probably result 0 more work for raliroaders running out of Coxton yard. Heretofore fast through freights were taken through from Sayre to Packerton and vice versa without a change of crew. Each trip lasted two days or more, Includ- ing the lay-over at the terminal puints Fhe new order is to the effect that crews running fast freights between points must change at Coxton vard, from which point the Wyoming division runs east and the P. & N. Y division west. In other words rall- roaders from Packerton will nol run on to the P. & N. Y. division any more ind Sayre rallroaders will’ in their own division. The changing of crews at Coxton yard will without doubt result in some delay iu trans- porting fast freight, but plans are be- Ing made in the yard so that the loss of time will be reduce to a minimum ‘hese keep TWO-.CENT FARES SURE.
