A Virginia man advortised for a wife

The tsnie of the I'unxsutawney Spirit
says: "The voracious novel reader
never reaches a high stage of Intellec

the story for the development of the plot,
and not for the fine morallzation and
truisms It contuins, which he generally
skips. To read a pure romance just for
the excite uont of following the charac
ters has no more educational tendency
than witnessing a barn-storming play
or a dog fight."
In January, 181)7, the borough of Du
Bots purchased the water works In that
borough from the DuUoIb City Water
Works Co. at a cost of $il,500. Since
purchasing tho plant the borough ex
pended $12,783.20 for new pumping
plant, etc, $300.00 for tools, etc. for op
eration, making the water works cost
DuBols borough $74,G93.20 up to March
1, 1901. Commissioner Duty's report,
as published lu the DuDols Expnun last
Saturday, shows that tho total receipts
from tho water works for three years
and eleven months, beginning April
1st, 1307, uud ending March 1st, 1001,
was $45,307.55. Expenditures, pump
ing water, tools, material, making tops,
etc., $15,751.53. Bulunco In favor of tho
water department, $20,013.02. These
figures show that the borougU of Du
Bols made a good Investment when It
purchased the water plant.
At the farmers' Institute bold In Par
adise last uiuulb some person through
the question box brought up the sub
ject of farmers being called "hayseed,''
"oountry jako," &o., when they come
Into town. The farmers took a vory
sensible view of the matter and were
right in their decision that tho towns
people who have common sense will not
call a farmer names simply because
be does not ulwnys wear his best clothes
, when he comes to town to sell his pro
duce. One lady suld she had euter
talned town people at her homo and
when In town, with a few spots of mud
on her dress, these sumo people mado
it oonveulout to bo looking In another
direction when she passed. A person
who would be guilty of such ungrateful
' uess Is short ou brains and long on van
ity. It Is not the clothing that makes
the true man or woman, and It is fool
lh dobs for any person to cast reflections
on farmors because they do not live in
town. Some of God's noblest men and
women are found In the farming com'
m unity and some of the devil's meanest
imps are usually found In towns and
re few and far between among the
farmers.
HlUti School Bulletin.

Anltttnt Editor Ralfh Kirk.
The pupils of tho various rooms have
now become accustomed to tho new
order of event necessitated by tho
great misfortune that befell us, nnd nro
now determined to put forth every ef
fort to make the few remaining months
of school a success.
In the high school and preparatory
departments nil classes nro now reciting
on the same schedule as formerly and
while, perhaps, It would have been ad
vantageous to our interests If tho di
rectors had been more expeditious In
the ordering of the text beoks, yet all
classes are making comiiiundahlu pro
gress. The differences arising between tho
ctinjuncting of the literary societies of
the two rooms, have been amicably set
tled and tho moonlight of pence and
tranquillity again reigns supreme. Tho
olllces have heeii so arranged that each
society receives an eiual allotment, anil
so tho question that promised to lie of
difficult solution has been arranged In a
manner acceptable to all concerned.
Tho seniors und juniors are now be
ginning their work uud formulating
plans to insure the success of the com
mencement week. As in former years
tin instructor will bo here to drill them
in their work, and while the classes
this year will be placed at somewhat of
ii disadvantage, yet they hope to have
tho commencement this year equal, if
not surpass, those held in the past.
The seniors will finish their work In
Astronomy this week. They have al
ready completed what has been tho cus
tomary year's work in Caesar and are
now well stin ted in Cicero. The seniors
take a pardonitblo pride in the progress
they have made in Latin.
At the last mooting of tho literary
societies the following officers were
elected to servo the ensuing month:
Pres., Eftio Milliren, '01; vice-president,
James Mulr, '01; secretary, Erlo Lenk
erd; program committee, Christine
Brown, '02; Irn Bowser, '02, I-nwson
Boed, Clyde Murray; critic, Miss Dally;
editor-in-chief, Clement Flynn; assist
ant editor, Ralph Kirk.
Chns. Ilernel, of San Antonio, Texas,
visited the high school Monday morning.
EHle Milliren, Goldlu King und Maud
Hoon, who have been absent from the
working force of tho high school the
past week as tho result of sickness, re
turned to school Monday morning.
A mock trial will bo given undor the
auspices of the literary societies on
March 15. Theso trials have grown to
bo very popular and those who attend
this one will enjoy a treat.
Arrangements have been so perfected
that each school has its own room In
which to recite. Tho high school util
ising tho Sunday school department
while tho preparatory has possession of
one of the uluss rooms. The other class
room is used for the principal's office.
Letter to P. J. Black,
IieynoUhville, Pa.
Dear Sir: One coat of Dovoo is hot
ter than two of mixed paint.
The American House, at Tanners-
villo, (Catskil) Mts.). N. Y., Chas. L.
Wlltso, had two coats of mixed paint
flvo years ago; lust spring had two more
coats of the same.
Owners were going to use Devoe but
got his mixed paint a few cents less.
Bight acrot-s the street, Charles
Huner painted one coat of Devoe at tho
sumo time last spring.
The Haner houso Is the hotter job;
but wait Ave years.
The point of tho story Is that Wlltso
Is sorry already. Ho has learned some
thing that not one man tn a thousand
knows thut a gullou of one kind of
paint can contain twice as much paint
as a gallon of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
kind of paint even If you have it given
to you. At the sauio time, you sec, that
mixed paint appears to have worn five
years glvo tho dovll his duo.
Yours truly,

Has the town tin active Health Hoard?
Thern Is not much evidence of It. In
Isolated cases there Is extra enforce
ment of tha quarantine, but il-oully
gross carotcssness exists. In a few rases
where Intelligent and extensive care Is
taken that a contagious disease Is not
spread by the members of the family
themselves, people get up a groat bug
bear of alarm, and after danger Is really
over. A member of tho family Is not
allowed to approach tho house or talk
through tho window, or to tho nurso
who, after taking every precaution, met
and talked to the banished father of tho
sick child. This man whs visited by a
member of the Health Hoard (?) and
taken to task for tho alleged Impro
priety. Now other families, who have
no thought of extreme care, are allowed
to go all over town and children from
the Infected houses play with and con
stantly associate with neighbor chil
dren. One noticeable case Is this: A
house Is quarantined where two Infec
tious diseases in tho most malignant
form exist, viz: scarlet fever and diph
theria, yet the children go any place
they like. Two children from this
house were seen In the JetTurson Supply
meat market with a number of other
children, us well as the butcher nnd
other adults. If these diseases are
highly conlagloiis might not the germ
even be conntiutilcaled to the fresh meat
and sent around wholesale. They the
children from the infected house had
on heavy woolen clothing uud wool Is
suld to be an excellent article to curry
or hold disease. I do not know us much
harm has resulted from the carelessness
that has fallen under my observation,
and probably there Is u great dual of
nonsense connected with the germ
craze; but the question still arises, why
Is sucn extreme care taken In one case
and another dozen cases allowed to go
unrestrained, the only precaution being
a piece uf Innocent pasteboard that
means nothing to tho people of the
iouso or to anyone who wishes to go or
como from suld house.

Soft Coal Market.
Colli Trade .tout iinl.l
In view of tho prevailing conditions
and the expected advance In railroad
freights April 1st. all the indications
point to a good business for the bitum
inous coal shippers during the month
of March. Hull road tralllc is heavy.
All the engineers and available coal
cars are In use. Trulns aro being rap
idly nanuicu, and enormous quantities
of bituminous ccal are being moved
eastward to tldo water.
Thoro is still some work before the
district conventions of unions, and that
of tho Central Pennsylvania at Altoona
on the 5th may insist on the fulfilment
of the olght-hour day rule.
It Is noted thut tho tonnairo of soft
coal exported grows each month in a
small way, und It would bo lurger If
vessels were to bo hud at less rates of
freight, and that day muy soon come.
We nave tho coal of superior quality
and all that Is lacking Is a supply of
vessel tonnago. It will be to the great
advantage of tho soft coal trade, If
there worn legislation looking to a ship
bounty, and every ono connected with
it. In any way, Bhould aid tn that direc
