bounds if she can bring about such
hlissful consummatiOn. haye been
looking into this bargain business
somewhat of late, aud am convinced
that, in most cases, the "bargain
counter" is .deIusiOn and snare set
for the feet of the nnWary daughters
Of earth. A female relative of mine
has pefect mania for bargains. We
live in large city and she eagerly
watches the c0lums of all the papers,
ever on the alert for especial sales"
great bargains" and goods that
"must be sold regardless Of cost"
The other morning she hurried
away from the breakfast-table say
ing:-
II must get right down town.
They are having a great clearing sale
at Brown and Whites. and every
thing is being sold at half price"
Then she enumerated Il great many
of the especial bargains" and hurried
off to get "ahead of the crowd"
When she came home six hours
later, l asked about her bargains.
"Well," she said, "some things did
sell awfuIIy cheap, but they didn't
happen to he what 1 wanted"
How about the yard wide. all
wool cashmere for nineteen cents ?"
l asked.
"Oh. it was all faded and shop,
worn !"
And the 'hest quality prints for
four cents yard 2"
"Uh. they were all imperfect in
pattern. and in remnants m0stIv."
"And the blankets at two dollars
per pair ?"
"They were all soiied, and half
cotton"
"But the thread at cent SPOOL
you boughta lot of that, didn't you?"
mo, it was all faded; it might
have done for hastings"
Surely you laid in a lifetime sup
ply of pms at cent a papPr?"
mo; they were of iron or tin. or of
something else that made them fit for
nothing"
"Didn't you get anything ?"
"YeS--a pair of kid gioyes for TWEEN
ty.five cents"
"WeIl, I-I-spIit them all out
getting THEM on, and Pm going to
take them back tomorrow and show
them to the clerk"
So ended her bargains. So most of
her bargains pan out" They aptly
illustrate the fact that YOU have to
pay for the genuine article in this
life, no matter what it is. 1t is. OF
course. agreeable to get something
for nothing, but it rarely happens
that we get things worth having that
way. 1t pays to buy the best. to sell
the best, to make the best, to do and
be our best. Merit, true genuine
merit, wins the world over. There
are no especial bargains" in things Of
actual value. because they are always
worth their full value.

Love OF Lite.

PhrenolOgists have assigned to a
protuberance under the ear the facul-
ty "vitativeness," or love OF life, and
some of them assume that in pr0por-
tiOn TO the size of the bump is the
strength of the vital element in the
Individual.
However this may be, that thelove
life is intense Ill some minds, and
scarcely exists at all in others. nobody.
of course, will deny; and it is no less
true that persons who earnestly desire
to live can keep mortal disease at
bay much longer than those who are
comparatively Indifferent to their
fate.
The tenacity with which some men
cling to life is marvellous. We had
an instance of this in the case of
noted pugilist, several years ago,
who was shot in the breast during a
harr0om scfflue, and his condition
was pronounced hopeless by the sur
seons. But he scoffed at their opin-
ions, and actually lived several days
with ball in his heart; keeping his
hold upon life-so it seemed-by
sheer force of will.
A resOlute determination not to
succuInb is as every army surgeon
knoWs,the salvation of many
wounded soldier, who without it
would assuredly die. In the Grim.
can war the mortality among the
wounded Turks was much greater
than among the wounded French and
English. The latter wrestled stCutly
with death and ofteH baffied him

he might be favored at Scranton as the

which there are not few in the town, will
no doubt go to the nominee.

A BURGLAR SCARE.
The House OF n Family Found Open-A
Good Suggestion From Chief Berger

Good Suggestion From Chief Berger.
Some time ago Miss Potts, who lives at
No. l26 East Chestnut street, on the corner
OF Cherry alley, went to the seashore.
When she started she locked the house up,
or at least 1t is supposed that she did.
Yesterday some ladies, who live next door,
noticed that one of the pair of back shutters
was open. They notified John Albright,
another neghbor and he called upon Chief
OF Police Berger at the mayors office, tell
ing him about it,as II was feared that thieves
might have broken in. The chief and
Officer Seiber went to the house between
and o'clock last evening and the latter
scaled the rear fence, which is: very high
and has lattice work upon the top, in
order to sen the gate which was locked
on the insfIe. The shutters were found TO
be open and through the window officer
Sieber crawled. He struck n match and
found tallow candle upon a table which
he lighted. In the meantime the chief of
police had made the discovery that the din
ing room door was ar. The officers then
went through the house from cellar To
garret while Mr. Albright watched at the
nont uoor, but did not find anyone nor
did the things look as IL they had been
disturbed in the least. The shutter had
one mark upon it which looked rs though
II might have been pried open, but the
Key OF the dining room door was in the
lock In the inside, and the door showed no
sign OF prying. There are people in the
city who have keys 10 the house to look
eiter II, and they may have lett it open, but
Chief Berger could not find.them last night.
This house was broken into and robbie "A
few years ago. The open shutter and door
looked rather suspicious.
The chief of police made a good sugges.
tion this morning while talking over
burglaries to a reporter of the INTELLIoEN-
GER. He said that all persons who go out
Of town TO spend anytime during the sum
mer, and leave their houses unoccupied,
should leave word at the station house. IL
this was done the police would make il
their business to keep an eve on the house
ut all times.
