An exchange says that a new
and clever swindle is being oper
ated by a man who is going about
the country' representing him
self as a repairer of sewing ma
chines. He asks to examine the
machine, and while doing so takes
out good pieces and inserts brok
en parts and calls the lady's at
tention to it, then he slyly replac
es the good piece he has removed
and charges exhorbitant prices
for bis work. Look out for him.
He is one of the smoothest swind
lers that even came down the
pike.
The attention of the proper offi
cers of this Borough is directed
to those boys and young men who
congregate on our streets during
the evening and engage in con
duct that would land every one of
them in jail, if they lived in any
other town in the Uuited States
than in McConnellsburg. The
ears of passers-by are shocked by
the most reckless expressions of
profanity and vulgarity, and when
a young lady chances to pass, she
becomes the subject, of such re
marks that betrays a depravity
most deplorable. Parents that
have any care for the future wel
fare of their boys want to see to
it that they are kept off the street
after nightfall; for it is impossi
ble that they should escape being
influenced by such characters.
Robsea Us Ursrs. .
A startling incident, is narrat
ed by John Oliver of Philadelphia,
as follows; "I was in an awful
condition.' 'My skin was almost
yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coat
ed, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite, growing weak'
er day by day, Three physicians
had given me up. Then I was ad
vised to use Electric Bitters; to
my great joy. the first ' bottle
made a decided improvement
continued tbelr use for three
weeks, and am now a well man. 1
know they robbed the grave of
another victim." No one should
fail to try them. Only 50 cents,
guaranteed at Trout's drug store.
FR00 RAI9IN0 INDUSTRY.
T Be Encosrsici' by the Peaosylvaala Fish
lot Ceasjlssleii. ,
, ''Frogs!" said the marketman.
"I could cell a thousand of them
this minute if 1 t.ad them. While
the clubs and big hotels are cry
ing for them we can't get a bak
er's dozen in a week."
Recognizing the growing de
mand for frogs as an article of
epicurean diet, the Fishing Com
mission of the Staeof Pennsyl
vania has decided to encourage
the raising of frogs by distribut
ing free millions of tadpoles to
farmers and others who are in a
position to take up frog falsing as
an industry. Heretofore there
has been little systematic attempt
to supply the market with frogs.
In vacation days bands of boys
have hunted the marshlands in
search of the croakers, knowing
that they were sure of a little
pocket mouey for the trouble ot
taking a basketful of "bulls" to
market.
The method of catching the j
frogs has been to fish for them i
with a hook and line, the bait be
ing a piece of red flannel. The
game will jump for this delusive
temptation and find itself caught
on the hook. Another way the i
boys have of obtaining a supply i
of frogs for the market is to shoot
them with small shot from an air
rifle. The regular- fishermen,
those who seek out a living by
catching frogs when fish are
scarce, and who ply their trade
in the swamplands of Jersey and
elsewhere, depend upon the quick-
ness of their hand to capture the '
elusive quarry.
With only these irregular sourc-!
68 of supply the marketmen have '
heen unable to furnish their cus-
tomers with a steady quantity of j
frogs, and at times the caterers'
have neen compelled to withdraw j
the item from their menus. The 1
law governing supply anddemand
has put the price of frogs in thjse !
times to a figure that makes it
actually profitable to raise them '
for market purposes, and the
State of Pennsylvania intends to 1
assist all who wish to take up the
industry by supplying the nu
cleus for a froggery. j
Epicures say that fried frog is
a dainty fit for a king. Some eat
only the legs. In the markets, '
however, frogs are exhibited in
in their entirety, minus the skin.
It is said that all parts of the frog
are edible, but some limit their ,
desires to the hind legs. ' The ap
pearance of the frog, both before
GRACE AND BEAUTY
is highly exemplified in l he New Colonial cut xlass.
In this style of cutting the vciy best crystal glass, en
tirely free from imperfection is necessary. Purchases
made recently while in New York City are now ar
riving. Improvement on this style of cutting is
manifestly impossible, the graceful, curved fluttings
ending in plain rounded edges entirely satisfies the
longing after soft subdued elegance. Candlesticks,
