A queer case of swindling has come
to light at Centralia. Pa. Two months

opened a saloon there. He was pa
tronized by his oountrymen and the
best class OF the other nationalities.

write English, he requested the
English speaking frequenters to charge
themselves with the amounts they
we're indebted. The other day he went
out to collect his bills, and some of the
most prominent business men in
town we're startled by the presentation
Of bills for drinkt received at Polish
Jake's." The latter intends opening
up a prosecution against them If they
do not pay.
The citizens in question say they
never entered the saloon, but their

out the saloon. The losses are 500.

SOFT THING ON THE OLD MAN.

Look here young man" said Cam
bridge parent to his daughters lover
when the latter entered the parlor to
make his first call of the indoor season
the other night, "look here; you burned
up good deal of coal and kerosene last
winter, coming around here and staying
till 10 and 1890 two or three nights a
week. Now | have no objections to your
visits, as you are respectable young
man, but you've got to find your own
fuel and lights this coming winter. l
cannot afford to keep fires running and a
lamp burning in this parlor all the
winter"
"All right, sir" responded the young
man, cheerfully, "I'm willing to share
the expense, but you should hardly ask
me to bear the whole of it. Suppose you
furnish the coal and furnish the light.
How would that do ,"
"All right" said the parent, as he
turned to leave the room. I'm willing
to bear my share of the expense if you
bear yours"
"Lets see," said the clear headed
youth, as he sat down beside his lady
love, show much oil did we burn last
winter, Sadie ?"
"Why, John" she replied with blush
"we didn't burn lampful during the
whole winter"

"but you needn't tell your pa what a
soft thing I've got on him."
