By way Of celebrating his return from
the rollicking official family sky-larking
expedition Gen. Wansmaker has obliterated
The Pennsylvania postoffice of Quay, in Elk
county. 1t was the only monument to the
great and only statesman of the same name
in the state. and the effacing thereof was a
real mean trick. On the site thereof he
has substituted the comparatively ordinary
postofice title of Johnsonburg. What a
measly man to snub an eminent and pros
porous citizen.

Men Who Wear Long Hair

Long hair is nowadays moro often a
sign of poverty than an Indication that
q man is great author or artist. But
it is a fact that busy literary man
often cannot tolerate the tedious and
elaborate processes of the BARRIERS. and
if he is single, as most literary men
arc, for financial reasons, lie is apt to
shun the BARRIERS attentions. In the
days of ancient Rome long hair was a
badge of slavery, and until latter days
actors and artists wore their hair in
ringlcts to slow that they were slaves
to their art Now they go short cropped,
and man with long raven locks is
more often an advertising quack than
anything clse.-Detroit Free Press.

WHAT LlTTlE DROPS CAN 30.
Mclodrama Daily Enacting in a Ecstau-

There was leak in the roof OF q
certain down town restaurant, and the
water came down in single drops about
once in every ten seconds, and fell ex-
actly in the middle of chair in one of
the most inviting parts of the place.
Now minister will take considerable
time in which to deliver y sermon, and
he has got to repeat bis performance
ffty-two times in year to keep some

than some ministers accomplish in their
line for ~ year.

look on his face would rush in rapidly,

Gated every other lninute-and, thank
ing Ills stars for such a good seat, would
DO in it and have Il bill of fare in his
hands as quickly us it can betold The

Just after q drop had fallen nothing
unusual happened until tho ten seconds
were up, when Suddenly he would
pause, and it was evident to those
seated around him that lie was waiting
for repetition of something which H.
had not been able TO appreciate in his
former distracted mood.
He was fully conscious of everything
now, and at the end OF the ten seconds
zip-something had fallen on his head,
and he was fully aware Of the fact.
OF came the hat Tor aninspection, and
his conjectures were verified by the
same. There were two drops on it.
While he was making this examination
with his head bent forward another
ten seconds elapsed, and the next drop
fell down his neck, which Wis brought
just under the leak by his position.
He was a business man. lie had lost
u full minute by taking that seat, and
that's where the innocent water drops
got in their fatal work. And another
thing. The other persons seated at
that table knew what was the matter
and had evidently been waiting for the
finale, and now they had considerable
difficulty in keeping their faces straight
While these things were forcing them
selves upon him another drop struck
him on the head, and while the angels
wept over the muttercd expressions he
gave vent to, lie vacated the chair and
the trap was set for another victim, who
soon entered and went through the
same routine. The other parties seated
around the table took considerable in
terest in him and had the pleasure of
seeing him, so through the same per-
Torrance, the symptoms of Which they
now knew by heart.
First, there was the look denoting
realization of something wrong.
Second, the absolute certainty that
something was wrong, and the last at

same angels went again and wondered
where the high salaried ministers
came in.

note these figures. The noon hour is
from half past Ii to half past 2. The
chair was empty at the end of every
minute, and you can allow it half
