BAIT FOR THE SHOPPING GIRL. Foxy Farmer Seemed to Know What Pleased the City Dames. They-ve two girls from New York visitin’ up at Taylor's house,” said the village hackman as he moved to- ward the stove in the store at Cross roads. “I druv ‘em out last night from the 8.30.” “Thet so?” responded Hiram, with a show of interest, as he began te rearrange sundry articles of perfum- ery, soap, candy and other things dear to the feminine mind. The hack- man watched him. “What ye doin’ that fer?” he ask- ed. ‘“’Taint likely them city girls is coming down to buy any of your stuff.” “Mebbe and mebbe not,” replied Hi ram, going on with his work. “But my experience is you can’t tell much They'll be down here sleighin’ to-day with the Taylor girls, sure’s eggs. Them city girls can't help shoppin’ any more’n they can help breathin’. They see so many fine things in their big stores that they must buy whether they want anything or not, and some times whether they have any money with ‘em or not. City storekeepers ain't above trustin’ an honest face, any more’n I am. Them girls get in the habit of shoppin’, and they can’t break it, even when they come to Crossroads. “If these are the same girls as was here last Winter, there’ll be :omethin’ doin’ fer me. I trusted them fer twelve dollars’ worth of this sort of stuff, and they sent me the money two days after they got back to town. Yes. Siree, they did. Anyhow, it don’t do no harm to spread out a little bait.” What Stumped the Scotchman. A Scotchman who had been em ployed nearly all his life in the build- ing of railways in the Highlands of Scotland went to the United States in his later vears and settled in a new section on the plains of the far West. Soon after his arrival a pro- ject came up in his new home for the construction of a ratlway through the district, and the Scotchman was applied to as a man of experience in such matters. “Hoot, mon,” sald he to the spokeg- man of the scheme, “ye canna build a railway across the country.” “Why not, Mr. Ferguson?” “Why not?” he repeated, with am air of effecturlly settling the whole matter. “Why not? Dae ye no see the country’s as flat as a floor, and ye dinna hae ony piace whatever to rus your tunnels through?’ — London Spare Moments. What a Yarn! This cold weather story comes from Mapleton. Me: Some of the old pion- eers say that they used to have some very cold weather here when they first came. They tell of taking a block of ice and making a trough to water the cattle in, which would last until May; also of the tea kettle boil- ing over on a red hot stove amd the water rolling on to the floor like shot, frozen solid.—Lewiston Journal. Looks What He ls. The Benedict—I suppose every man looks foolish when he proposes mar- riage to a girl?” The Bachelor—Well, he?” he is, ism't Wanted to Trade the Baby. A small Manassa boy was called im to view his mew born baby brother. He looked it over with decided dissat- isfaction and finally asked: ‘Mamma, where did this thing come from?” “An angel brought it, Jimmie.” “Huh, was you awake when he come?’ “Certain- ly, Jimmie.” “Well, then, mamma, all I've got to say is that you are dead easy. I'd like to see any old angel put off such a looking thing as that on me. I suppose we're stuck unless I can work Johnnie Green and trade it sight unseen for one of his spotted pups.”—La Jara Cronicle. Needed Them Badly.

Engineers Making Final Survey Through Fayette County. Twelve engineers that started at Confluence six weeks ago are now at Farmington working on what is said to be the final survey for the B. & O. short line through Fayette county, says the Connellsville Courier. The short line is to run from Confluence to W. Va. and will give a much better grade, beside cutting off sixty miles between Washington, D. C.,and Wheel- ing. It gives algrade of 65-100 feet to the 1,000 feet. The road is to be built on a high grade and the bridges will be high. The route will be a very direct one, and when built will be a great ad- vantage in shortening the distance. The opening of a new line through Fayette county will be welcomed by everyone snd will give a better outlet to the east and the west. The route surveyed for the short line starts at Confluence at the junction of the Yough and Casselman rivers. The B. & O. is now on the north side of the Yough river near Confluence and about 100 feet below the present B. & O. bridge the new line will cross the river. It then follows along the river for seven miles, and then cuts Sugar Loaf mountain with a tunnel 4,800 feet or nearly a mile long. After emerging from the tunnel the road will cross Beaver creek, or Lau- rel run, at Potter's Mill in Steward township and follow in a general trend southward, keeping on high ground a quarter of a mile east of Farmington. The route then goes on southwesterly until it strikes the Monongahela river near Seneca in the outskirts of Mor- gantown with a very high bridge. It then keeps in a general course and strikes the B. &30. near Wheeling. FROM THE RECORDS. MARRIAGE LICENSES. ‘Christopher Knepper..Cambria Co., Pa Margaret M. Hannigan.......

The public sale of unseated lands, for taxes, conducted in tho Court-room, last Monday, by County Treasurer W. S. Matthews, attracted a goodly num- ber of speculators. Out of about three hundred tracts advertised by the treas- urer, only eighty-seven were sold, the taxes and costs on the others having been paid by the owners prior to the sale. The auctioneer was H. L. Sipe. There are a number of real estate owners in Somerset county who have acquired considerable money in years past by reason of ‘deals 'in~Tands pur- chased at these tax sales. But little attention wax paid to the sales by the public, and properties were knocked down'at nominal sums covering the sale. Frequently the properties were not redeemed within two years—the time prescribed by law—and the pur- chasers at the unseated land sale se- cured a deed to the property thus purchased. These conditions, however, have changed. The rich minerals un- derlying Somerset county soil have be- come too valuable an asset to permit speculators to acquire title without oi posi ion. The land sold last Monday brought anywhere from $5 to $1,755 per tract. Several town lots in one of the bor- oughs, the owners of which are un- known, and on which the taxes were less than $7 per lot, were bid upto over $200, though the present value of the lots may not exceed $50. At an unseated land sale a purchaser pays to the county treasurer the amount of the unpaid tax and sale costs, and gives a bond for the re- mainder of his bid. If the property so purchased is not redeemed within two years, the county commissioners make a deed to the purchaser at the tax sale. So far as the writer knows these pur- chasers have never paid more than the amount of taxes, and this raises a question. What are the bonds given for? One of the local attorneys gives it as his opinion that after tbe expira- tion of the two years following the sale, the former owner of the land can collect the difference between the amount of the taxes and the price bid for the land. If this land so purchased. There were in- stances at former sales where land was sold for unpaid taxes amounting to ten Somerset Standard. ln - { THAR THROBB BING HEADACHE { Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

Irregular Refraction the Cause of Crooked Eyes. Spectacles a Remedy for Defec- tive Focus and Eye Strain. Defects of refraction, especially astig- ous effort often results in mental and muscular fatigue, crooked eyes, eye strain, headache, indigestion, redness, smarting, burning, or watering of the eyes, and a host of nervous complica- tions, which, alas! are not unfrequently attributed to other causes, and conse- quently treated without success. Read- ers who will follew directions with the following : Test for Astigmatism can determine for remeelveh if it ex- ists in their eyes to any considerable degree. Hold this figure i in a perpen- dicular position, two ‘feet from the dyes. Can you see the black lines blacker and the white lines wider, whiter, and cledrer than the rest in one or more of the three-line bars? If so you have astigmatism. Each eye should be treated separately, covering the other without pressing it, keeping both open. You may find that each eye sees a dif- ferent bar or bars the best. The more bars you see clear and ahke the less astigmatism you have. Those who have had eye strain for a considerable time, or have “spasm of satisfactory results, as the same lines are not ‘likely to appear plain alike long at a time. Crooked Eyes are caused by defects or reiractions's as described above. The Sight of the Crossed Eye Is Sure to Be Practically Lost if Left Crooked. Preventative Remedies. When the defects or refraction are not too great, and the turning of the eye remains intermittent, only crossing while trying to read or look close, there is a probability that a permanent cross can be prevented by the correct, scien- tific adjustment of glasses. Glasses, Improperly Fitted, Do More Harm Than Good. To Avoid Experiment and Risk, or, in other words to know what course of treatment it is best to 'adopt, the complications of defective refraction, muscular action, innervation, retinal nerve defects, and the various opacties, consult O.
