medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to tho Liver and

tonic. It cures Constipation, Headache,

mild laxative, and restores the system
to its natural vigor. Try Eleotrlo Bit

If something were pointed out to you

It meant a great loss to you, would
you do It? No. Well, this Is just what
you have boon doing all winter nnd de

and certain death to your educational

thon It will bo too luto for regrets; the

and you will bo tho loser. Your "tin

could expect If certain restrictions wore
not carried out, nnd you all wcro old
enough to know right from wrong, yet
you deliberately ignored the warning
and when tho time of reckoning
came you "hung your Up," to use a
homoly expression, knowing all the
tlmo that the result would be just what
It turned out to bo. What In tho world
do you expect, to get something for
nothing, to "gather grapes of thorns,
or tigs of thistles?" Do you want your
toucher to murk you high, a deliberate
llo, whon you know In your own soul
that you have earnud nothing except
tho lowest marks? Do you want to de
ceive yourselves, your parents and your
friends? Do not for one moment try to
practice deception. Bo true, honest

yourselves, and If you carry out this
plun you will novor deceive or bo false
to any one. You have but forty-two
duys yot loft to complete tho course laid

you can do It? Your "uncle" fears that
there will be some sad hearts when the
result of the final examination is an
nouncod. Experience Is a costly teach'
ur, novcrmoiosg, a goou one, arm a
failure to reach tho goal may have the
effect of divesting you of somo of your
giddiness and awakening you up to a
sense of your duty as tho yeurs creep on
apace, and touch you to work while it is
called duy, that your task may be
completed when the evening of life
comes. Ah! boys and girls, you haven't
tho least idea of what you havo lost und
what you aro losing. You seem to see
through a glass durkly and have no Idoa
of the dim vista of the future as it
looms up far ahead of you, like the
Niagara river. All looks placid and
serene and no thought of danger ever
crosses your mind; but beware! boys and
girls, the rapids are below you, and
when you reach them it means death
and destruction. Then stop and think,
and try and retrieve yourself before it
is too lute. The time is short. Will
you be ready for it.

The New Railrosd.
It Is now regarded a settled fact that
work on tho extension of the B., R. & P.
railroad will begin next spring nnd that
the work will bo pushed to completion
as rapidly as possible. The plans not
only contemplate a road from Punxsa
tawney to Butler by way of Klttannlng,
but also a connecting link from Butler
to Newcastle. The now railroad to
Pittsburg Is no longor a theory. It will
be built and that without unnecessary
delay. Punxsutawney Spirit.
"The Klondike Kraie."
Tho rush for Klondike has already
begun and one authority estimates that
21)0,000 people will go to the gold fields
this season. There Is now no doubt but
that the fabulous wealth of tho country
has not been underestimated and the
wildest speculations as to its resources
aro surpassed by the facts. The Buffa
lo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway has
already ticketed one lurgo party and
others are organizing nt various points
on its line. Tho B., R. & P. R'y will
furnish tickets via any of the loading
routes at low rates, and will no doubt
secure a large share of the business.

How to Be Handsome.
It is a mistake to suppose that the
only way to be good looking is to be
born so. Good health has more to do
with good looks than anything olso.
Such diseases as constipation, dyspepsiu.
liver complaints, rheumatism, nervous
disorders, &o., not only shorten llfo, but
spoil tempers and "looks." Bacon's
Celery King for the nerves cures these
troubles. H. Alox. Stoke sells It and
will give you a saraplo package free.
