Reflecting in its widening circulation
and increased advertising patronage the
prosperity that marks the open-
ing of the new year The Pittsburg
Times more than ever impresses upon
its readers the excellence of iis high
standard and the success of its efforts
to make a model paper for the individ-
ual and for the family. The Times is a
newspaper, sparing no pains nor ex-
pense to cover the world thoroughly
every day, that its current page of his-
tory may be complete, and ip its longer
range overlooking nothing that oceurs
at home. It is clean, dignified and re-
liable, certain that no lack of these
features can be made up in offensive
sensationalism. It can be taken into
the family circle with confidence that
its columns are filled with wholesome
instruction and entertainment. Wher-
ever known The Times is recognized as
the best type of a concise, crisp and
complete newspaper, and among news-
paper men it is the publication with
which comparisons of excellence are
made. While The Times is Republican
in politics it realizes that others have a
right to be on earth, and that polities
are not everything. When one cent a
day will buy a morning paper it is fool-
ish to be without one. The Times is

A hearing in-the matter of incorpora
ion for the village of Scalp kevel was
aad before the court last week, but the
pS
matter seems to be held up by a tangle
of interests. The original petition ask-
ed for the incorporation under a plan
that included what is known as No. 30
Mine, and claimed that there were
from 450 to 500 inhabitants within the
proposed town, but another set of peti-
tioners objected to the taking in of No.
30, and suggested that both Scalp Level
and- No. 30 be taken in with Windber
under an incorporation. This scheme
was probably sprung by the Berwind-
White interests at Windber, and it is
bitterly opposed by the residents of
Scalp Level. Just what the outcome
will be is not in sight.—Standard.
A pious old Indiana farmer who had
enlisted in the war of the Rebellion,
was assigned to the duty of teaming,
probably by mistake. The roads were
muddy and the rest of the teamsters
were literally bombarding their charges
with oaths. It was against the old
man’s principles to.swear, and he held
his peace, albeit in impotent rage. At
last one of the hind mules balked and
refused to advance a step. The old
man used every endeaver to urge the
beast along, but to no purpose. At
last he roared in a loud and solemn
voice: “Oh, Lord you know where this
mule ought to be as well as anybody.
This whole army knows where he ought
to be this minute. Ile knows where he
ought to be. I know where he ought
to be, oh, Lord ; and if he doesn’t move
in a minute, I intend to say so, by
gun!”

Smoking Stunts the Growth of Boys
Whatever difference of opinion there
may be upon the advisability of smok-
ing for men, there is none as to its per-
nicious effect upon boys. It affects the
the action of the heart and reduces
the capacity of the lungs. Young
men who are being trained for ath-
letics are not permitied to smoke
by their trainers because, as they say,
“It is bad for the wind.” The argu-
ment that will appeal most forcibly to
your boy is that smoking will stunt his
growth. It has been proved that youth-
ful smokers are shorter and weigh less
than their comrades who do not smoke.
Cigarettes are particularly injurious.
Nicotine, the active principle of tobacco,
s said by chemists to be, next to prussic
acid, the most rapidly fatal poison
known. The tender tissues of a grow-
ing boy cannot absorb even a very
small quantity of it without most in-
jurious results.—February Ladies’ Home
Journal.

Berlin Boy Commits Suicide.
The people of Berlin were shocked,
Thursday evening, to learn that one of
the boys of town had committed sui-
cide. The name of the young man was
Allen Earhart, son of Mrs. Ellen Ear-
hart. Thursday forenoon, says the
Record, Allen went to the store of Dr.
Brallier and purchased a box of rat
poison, saying his mother had sent him
for it. Between two and three o’clock
in the afternoon his mother discovered
that he was seriously ill and after earn-
est effort secured from him a confes-
sion that he had taken poison. The
mother immediately sent for Dr. Gar-
man, who applied a stomach pump and
tried, but in vain, to save the boy’s life.
Death took place about four o'clock.
Allen was about 17 years old. He
was the dining-room boy at the Man-
sion House, but had been suspended
the evening before. This, and the rea-
son for his being suspended, is suppos-
ed to have been the cause which led
the boy to end his existence. It is
said that the boy was of a very sensitive
nature and that he had frequently, on
previous occasions, threatened to com-
mit suicide.

Sheets Case Held in Consid > ration.
The arguments upod the motion for
a new trial for Milton Sheets were
made on Saturday afternoon. Attorney
I. J. Kooser argued in support of the
motion, and District Attorney Meyers
addressed the Court, opposing the
granting of a new trial. The chief
grounds urged in support of this motion
were that the Court erred in admitting
as evidence the made by
Sheets to a representative of the Stand-
ard, it having been made after a previ-
ous confession had been extorted from
him by a detective using undue means,
and that the Court erred in its
charge to the jury, by leaving the im-
pression that the defendant must either
be found guilty of murder in the first
degree or acquitted. The Distriet At
torney argued that the admission of the
confession was proper, as was the
charge of the Court, and Attorney Val-
entineHay, of private counsel for the
prosecutor, cited a number of similai,
cases in support of the District Attor-
ney’s position. The Court is holding
the matter under consideration, and
may not pass upon it before the regular
term of court to be held the latter par.
of this month.—Standard.

The February edition of the Wilkelm
Evangel, Rev. E. 8. Hassler, editor, was
issued from this office on Monday. It
was a very handsome edition and is
well received by its many friends and
patrons. Followirg are a few items
taken from its columns:
Mrs. Christena Maust, of St. Paul's
church, was very sick during January,
so much so that her life was despaired
of. We are glad to state that she is
now rapidly recovering.
The pastor expects to be absent for
five days, Feb. 12-16, attending the con-
vention of the State Association of
School Directors, of which he is Cor-
responding Secretary. This conven-
tion will be held in the House of Rep-
resentatives, in Harrisburg.
On the last day of January occurred
the Eleventh anniversary of Mr. and
Mrs. Luke Hay’s marriage. The event
was celebrated at the hou.e of Mr. and
Mrs. Norman Hay, who gave a dinner
in their honor. Other invited guests
were present, including the pastor and
family. We need not say that it was a
delightful time. Itis reported that Mr.
and Mrs. Luke Hay will remove from
our midst, this spring. We are sorry
if this proves true. We still hope they
may decide to stay with us,for we would
be extremely sorry to see them go
away.
We enjoyed a trip to Akron, Ohio, on
Jan. 20 to Jan. 28, and again were
granted the great pleasure of visiting in
the homes of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hay,
and Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Stotler. On
Sunday we conducted services and
preached morning and evening in Grace
Reformed church, in Akron. This
church is now without a pastor, and the
expenses of our trip were paid for our
services in supplying them at this time.
We met many nice and good people.
Our friends there are nicely situated.
Their business interests are prospering.
They are fixing themselves in comfort-
able homes, and no doubt will make
the place their permanent residence.
A teacher beirg asked how many
scholars were in his Sunday school, re-
plied: “If you multiply the number of
Jacob’s sons by the number of times
which the Israelites compassed Jericho
on the Seventh day, and add to the pro-
duct the number of measures of barley
which Boaz gave Ruth, divide this by
the number of Haman’s sons, subtract
the number of each kind of unclean
beasts that went into the ark, multiply
by the number of men that went to seek
Elijah after he was taken to heaven,
subtract frem this Joseph's age at the
time he stood before Pharoah, divide
by the number of stones David selected
to kill Goliath, subtract the number of
furlongs that Bethany was distant from
Jerusalem, multiply by the number of
anchors cast out at the time of Pauls
shipwreck, subtract the number of peo-
ple saved in the ark, and the remainder
will be the number ot scholars in the
school.” How many were there?
Bother Enough.
The red-nosed vagrant stopped the
preoccupied citizen at the street cor-

The best of current fiction is found
in its columns.
These are only some of the reasons;
