Seven Vacant Pulpits.
Harrisburg, May 15: The
Carlisle Presbytery faces a rath
er peculiar condition in that sev
en of its pulpits are vacaDt, in
cluding that of the Mlddletown
Presbyterian church, whose pas
tor, the Rev. A. L. Groff, leaves
next August.
Others which will come up ao
the next meeting of the Presby
tery, and may be filled bv this
year's graduates, are : Dickiu

I He Got It Fixed.
The following story, illustrative
of the red tape that used to pre
vail in a certain department of
the Federal Government at Wah
i ington, says Success Magazine,
is told by an official who begun
; his service there in the humble
i capacity of clerk :
I "Shortly alter entering upon
j the discharge of my duties," said
j the official, "I witnessed a scone
in the division to which 1 hud
' boon assigned that astonished me
! to a degree. One day au elderly
i clerk whose desk was near mine,
suddenly rose from his seat, drag
ged his chair to a fireplace, and,
seizing a jxiker, attacked the of
fending piece of furniture with
what apjeared to bo maniacal
fury. When he had broken a leg
off the chair his passion seemed
to be exhausted, He Hung tl.e
damaged chair into a corner of
the room, and, getting another
chair, calmly resumed his work
just as if nothing had occurred.
"When the time came to leave
the office that afternoon, I ventur
ed to ask a fellow clerk, who had
been a witness of the scene, what
it meant. 'Is that clerk,' I in
quired, 'subject to attacks of that
kind?'
"The clerk smiled indulgently.
'Oh,' he explained, 'there was
nothing the matter with him.
You see, one of the castors had
come off his chair. This depart
ment will not replace castors it
repairs nothing less serious thau
a broken leg. So Blank broke
one of the legs and now he will be
able to get the castor put on
again.' "

His Prompt Nickname.
It has been said according to
the Cleveland Leader, that a boy
who goes through school and col
lege without a nickname must
have lacked some of the elements
of popularity. The Honorable
Wilfred Hosford and his wife,
however, did not believs in nick
names, nor did they intend their
hoy to have one if they could pre
vent it.
"I was never known as 'Will' or
'Willy,' " said Mr. Hosford. with
dignity, "and 1 see no reason why
my son, Wilfred Sawtell Hosford,
should receive either of those
names or the still more objection
able one of 'Bid.' "
Wilfred -Sawtell Hosford was
delicate for the first ten years of
his life, and received his educa
tion at the hands of a grave young
tutor. He grew stronger as time
went on, and at the age of 1-J en
tered the public school.
On his return from the first ses
sion he was solemnly questioned
by his parents.
"The boys are going to like me,
1 guess," said Wilfred eagerly.
"They've got a nickname for me
already."
Mrs. Hosford shuddered and
the Honorable Wilfred looked
stern.
"Do you mean to say you enjoy
being called 'Willy' or 'Bill?' " he
asked, in his deepest tones.
"Oh, they've got a better name
than those," said the boy, with a
broad grin. "The smartest fel
low in the class, Sandy Lane,
thought it up almost right off as
soon as he heard my name. They
are going to call me 'Sawhoss.' "

Train Callers to be Abolished.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has

incidentally save the company
several thousand dollars a year in

the train dispatcher's office and

in running time, chango.sof sched

The Real Apple Jack.
Adam Weider, a farmer, while
hunt'ug ginseng m the mountain
near Cleversburg, Cumberland
county, found a barrel containing
applejack. The liquor was a
deep amber in color and of such
strength that a medium sized
drin k was enough to put an able

thought it was buried during the

invaded Pjnnsylvania.

Rev. Bell Resigns.
The Rev. L. Carmon Bell, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church,
Greencastle, for the past fifteen
years, at the service last Sunday
morniag, read his resignation to
the congregation. The resigna

it will Vie accepted.
It is the intention of Mr. J tell
to go to Dakota, where his activi
ties will be confined to the estab

the authority of the home mission
board of the Presbyterian church.

Let ns lijrure together. A sliek of timber that will square
v U inches and U KiJ feet in length, will make 4i feet of lumber,
which at f 1.50 u hundred, is worth 7." cents. Now, I can sell you
a (food wire fence for .12c. a rod, which is less than half the cost
of a bourd fence.
The style I sell at 32c is a ''bunkem" fence. A witness in
court was once asked what kind of fence he had, when he made
the reply, "I have a "bunkem" fence." "What kind of fence is
that, thundered the court." "A '-bunkem" fence," answered the
witness, "is a fence that is horse-high, bull-strong, and pig
tiyht." That is just the kind of fence I sell. The price ranges
from Z'm. to tide, a rod depending on the stvle and height.
I also sell the
