poor relations.

An exchange says gang of soap swim
dlers have been doing Kittanning. They
sell box of villainous soap for 81, offer
ing as premium rubber door mat with
the victims name worked thereon. The

The Butler Citizen is responsible for
this: A lady school teacher of that place
took school boy to task one day for being
away a whole week, and he excused him
self by saying that she had told all the
scholars not TO come to school if they had
any contagious diseases at home, and that
they had new baby at his house. He
was excused.
The epidemic of diphtheria in Stoneboro
abated almost as rapidly as it came on.
There has been but one case in the town
during the past week. Tho schools have
resumed. One of the methods employed
to exterminate the disease and prevent the
spread of the contagion was peculiar.
Large sulphur fires were started in the
streets throughout the town and especially
near those houses containing cases of
diphtheria. These fires were kept burn
ing day and night, and supplied with coal
from the mines near by, containing a
large amount of sulphur.-Frankitn Ne,0s.
There are few persons who would think
of stealing the money with which to buy
Christmas presents, yet there are many
who in reality do this. There is a pleasure
in giving which prompts many a man to
throw consistency to the dogs. The man
who foclishly buys presents with money
which he honestly owes to others is vir-
tually stealing it. The better way, before
making Christmas presents is to find out
what you owe and pay it. Settle up the
little accounts with the grocer, the butch
er, the baker and the printer, and then,
with clean conscience, go ahead and pro-
vide for your friends.-Blixzard.
We want every mother to know that
Group can be prevented. True Group never
appears without a warning. The first
symptom is hoarseness; then the child
appears to have taken a cold or cold may
have accompanied the hoarseness from the
start. After that a peculiar rough cough is
developed, which is followed by the Group.
The time to act is when the child first be-
comes hoarse; a few doses of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy will prevent the
attack. Even after a rough cough has ap-
peared the disease may be prevented by
using this remedy as directed. 1t has
never been known to fail. 25 cent, so cent
and 81 bottles for sale by Proper & Doutt,

William Dean Howells is to write a
story especially for girls. 1t is said that
Mr.. Howells, who is perhaps the foremost
of living American novelists, has long had
in mind story of American girl-life,
which hTNelieves will be the best piece OF
work he has ever done. The great novel
list has now been induced to write out the
story, and at present he is at work upon
it. II is novel unlike any which Mr..
Howells has ever written. 1t deals EN-
tirely with the strug giles of Western girl
who goes to New York, and the story will
have about it all the flavor which attaches
TO tale of city life with young girl as
the central heroine. Heretofore all OF
Mr.. Howells' novels have gone to the
Harpers, but this special girls novel will
be printed during 1892 in The Ladies
Home Journal, of Philadelphia, the pub
fishers of which have bought the exclusive
rights to the story from Mr.. Howells.
The novel is TO be beautifully illustrated,
and Mr.. Howells himself believes that il
will be as attractive story as any with
which his name has been connected.
