It's never necessary for a woman to appear girlish unless she's past thirty and not yet married. You can always convince a woman wlxat a good man you are by appre ciating what a fine character she has. When one girl wants to puzzle a lot of them she acts natural, and they can't make it out to save their wits. You can always forgive an ancestor how he got his money whei It comes to you. Being In love is being not quite Insane enough to go into an asylum. There's a heap of fun In just let ting other people spend their money trying to buy It. An honest man gets so puffed up about ft he might be morn agreeable It be stole something. A mtn can save a lot of money by having so many bad .habits he can't afford to get married.

State Pennsylvania ACCUSE FARMER Leopold Ermann, Thought to 6s Vic tim of Assassination. PENSION 111 LI. DRAFTED. Alientown (Special). An arrest that gives every promise of clearing up the mystery surrounding the dis appearance of Leopold Ermnnn, the Philadelphia Jewelry salesman, who myterlotisly vanished in Washington Township Inst November, was made, when George Shaffer, a poultry farm er residing near Schnocksville, was taken Into custody and brought to this city. Detectives who had taken up the search for Ermann, traced h!:n easily from one home to another until NoVMnhpr 17. Thin nltrht hn HDfnt with tho family of Oliver Hun?lcker, ' near Neffs. From there he. Is known to have gone toward the home of Shaffer, who had ordered a $150 dia mond ring, which he Inteneded using as nn engagement ring. Ermann'g brother, Jacob, who had offered a reward of $500 for the finding of his brother, dead or alive, suspected Shaffer, and his suspicion was strengthened when the police found the fireplace of the Shaffer home had recently be repaint-1 ed In green, "to cover red paint sUIns," Shaffer said, "which got there when t UBed red paint to outen a fire." Tho window sills and floor of the room are charred by Are, and the floor is covered with pitch, which Shaffer said, "got there when he boiled pitch In a cauldron, and the stuff boiled over." . Shaffer, it is said, had charge of burying the cattle of Farmer Hun sicker, a neighbor, which had been condemned by State live stock agents for having foot and mouth disease, in the burying of which quicklime was used. Officers working on the case express a fear that Shaffer, at the same time and In a similar way, disposed of Ermann's body. Ex-Congressman M. C. L. Kline, Shaffer's attorney, Intends to apply for a writ of habeas corpus to get Shaffer out of Jail. Three officers, armed with a search warrant, are looking over the Blose farm for traces of the supposed crime and for the missing man's Jewelry. Leopold Ermann was 55 years old and unmarried and lived at 1305 North Seventh Street, Philadelphia, with his brother, Jacob, also un married: a married brother, Her mann, and the latter's son, Louis. For over thirty years Leopold had made several trips a year through the farming districts of Lehigh and Northampton Counties, carrying with him a stock of about a thousand dollars' worth of low-priced Jewelry, On November 10 he left this city for one of his regular tripB, carry ing with him his usual stock and a considerable' sum of money. The next intelligence, and the last, that was ever received from him was n letter dated Slatlngton, November 17 "It's not a new food to me," re marked a Va. man, In speaking of Gripe-Nuts. "About twelve months ago my wife was In very bad health, could not keep anything on her stomach. The Doctor reeommended milk halt water, but It was not sufficiently nourishing. "A friend of mine told me one day to try Grape-Nuts and cream. Ths result was really marvelous. My wife soon regained her ueoal strength nd to-day la as rosy and plump a when a girl of sixteen.

CDMMERCiAL LOLUIsli Weekly Review of Trade and Latest Market Reoorti A GOOD SPRING TRADE EXPECTED, , New York (Special). R. O. Dun & Co. 'a weekly review of trade says: Seasonable quiet Is reported in wholesale and jobbing trade, travel ing men preparing to start out next week. Confidence in good spring bus iness Is general, results of inventories thus far available Indicating that re ports of depicted stocks were not exaggerated. Conservative buying during the past year has made tho itatlstical position very strong among Jealers, while curtailed manufactur ing operations prevented accumula tion at the ml'lg. Current distribu tion of staples Is fair, but open weather retnrds sales of heavy weight wearing apparel. The same .nfluence operate, on the other hand, :o facilitate outdoor work, and esti mating rooms are busy on plans for future construction. After some over hauling and repairs the leading ln lustrlal plants will resume next week with larger forces than at any time luring 1908. A quiet closing of the year was xpected In the markets for Iron and Keel, but an Improved demand Is intictpated early in January. Few buyers are in the primary markets for textile fabrics, stock tak ing and the holidays combining to Make the week tho dullest of the ear. Better conditions In China ln iicate that export trade may broaden Shortly, the moderate recovery In price of silver being an important feature in this connection. As to woolen goods, there is some activity In the cheaper lines, and as the season advances there are more open ings of medium and higher grades. Wholel Mar''. New York.

During the last few years much Interest has been taken In the cru sade for good roads, and In ninny parts of the country model stretches of highway have been constructed by "good roads" commissions to serve as examples to the natives of each locality. Much valuable In struction has been Imparted in this manner, but apparently no plan dis covered for overcoming the difficul ties of road building in a sandy soil. It remained for a Minnesota man to ndopt a new method of construction suitable for such a condition. George W. Cooley, Statu highway engineer of Minnesota, has designed a road that is serviceable, In tpite of a sandy foundation. A section of his new construction is located at Cambridge, in Isanti County. In this district there Is nothing but sand for a top soil, and It Is impossible " preserve a road without adding some other material. Mr. Cooley finally decided that sawdust was tne com ponent necessary, and a four-Inch layer of this was raked into a stretch of road which had been carefully graded. Passing teams thoroughly ground together this mixture, and whenever ruts were worn into the surface thev were filled with fresh sawdust. The fine particles of wood gradually rot, forming a heavy loam with the sand, and the result Is a firm roadbed, suitable to all ordinary traffic. Harper's Weekly. Bog Ruves Sinn's Life Twice.
