Occasionally we find man who, ap-
parently has grown indifferent to his
family, or who is not doing all that he
can for the happiness of each member
thereof. Such man is wasting life's
most precious opportunities for good,
and bringing to himself bitterness
where all should be sweet contentment.
There was time when such man was
willing to make any sacrifice to please
the woman of his choice; by his solic-
itous attentions he won her love; he
should in the same way retain it and
strengthen it. There are very few
men who would Intentionally wound
their loved ones, but gradually the
''small sweet cOurtesies of life" are
omitted, the tones become more indif-
ferent, the thoughts drift away from
love, and the fondest of all ties-that
of perfect cOnfidence-is broken. The
best thing for an Indifferent man to do
is to go back to his old ways. Meet his
wife and children with smiles and exert
himself to make them happy as he once
did to please the girl he was trying to
win. II barriers have been raised be-
tween man and wife let no time pass to
have them removed, and establish bonds
of love that are stronger than steel.
No parent can afford to have his chill
dren stand aloof with a feeling that
there is a lack of sympathy. Rather
should. there be that companionship
which invites the utmost confidence
and congeniality. 1t is mistaken idea
that this will encourage disrespect, for
the most cheerful and beautiful service
Is the service Of love.

Under a Moving Locomotive.
Falls Creek Herald

Tails Creek lierald.l
Last Friday morning when train No.
6 going west on the Allegheny Valley
stopped at this, place, Engineer Horn,
who had charge of the locomotive,
instructed Fireman Hause to go under
the engine and tighten some bolts that
were working loose, and while he was
under the engineer forgot all about the
mission he had given the fireman and
upon receiving orders started the train
ahead with Mr.. Hausc still under the
engine. The train started and ran
about the length Of two coaches before
the fireman was missed, who saved his
life only by holding on to the revolving
axle and being dragged that distance.
The train was stopped and the fireman
came out not much hurt. but very
badly frightened man. The escape was
indeed remarkable. and had the train
moved much farther the fireman would
have undoubtedly met with a horrible
death.

There is always best way of doing
every thing, If it be to boil an egg.
Manners are the happy ways of doing
things each one the stroke of genius or
OF love-now repeated and hardened
into usage. Your manners are always
under examination, and by committees
little suspected-a police in citizens
cloths-but are awarding or denying
you very high prize when you least
think of it. Look on this woman.
There is no beauty, no brilliant sayings,
distinguished power to serve you; but
all see her gladly; her whole air and
impression are healthful. Manners
require time, as nothing is more vulgar
than haste.-EmorsOn.

Leechburg, Armstrong county, was
the scene of great excitement last
Wednesday when the burglars who at
tempted TO rob the Leechburg bank and
shot citizen dead were arrested. A
tynching bee was only prevented by the
influence of cooler heads. Lawlessness
is getting close to Jefferson county
when citizens in an adjoining county
get aroused to such high pitch OF
frenzy that they are willing and anxious
to take human life in their own hands
and speedily dispatch the murderers.
Thus adding another crime to the one
already committed.

The Columbian souvenir coin. the
splendid s2,500,OOO gift of the United
States to the Worlds Fair and from
which another $2, ,5OO,O was was to be
made by doubling the price, has proved
a hoodoo. OF the entire issue, valued
by the Columbian Exposition directors
at $5,O00,000, just 1897 900 worth has
been sold up to date, and over S4, 900, 900
worth are left in the kegs at the safety
vaults. Somehow on other they don't
seem to take. For that reason the
Directors are in hole financially.
They must have the money If the fair is
to open on May |. and need it badly.
Possible failure has been staring them
in the face for some time evidently, and
heroic action was decided upon some
time ago. On the 18th ult. official in
formation was given out to the effect
that new issue of 81 200, 600 of Column
bian Exposition bonds would be put on
the market. They will bear six per
cent. interest. fall due on January l.,

The miners at the Brock mines came
out on Wednesday. They claimed that
two months pay is due them, and if it
was not forthcoming they would not re-

from Ridgway that two pays would be
given the men on Thursday and the
other two next week, which settled the
difficulty.
