The mania for altering street signs of all
kinds by the addition or alteration Of letter
is strange one. Not only is the omni-
present small boy afflicted with = desire to
make signs ridiculous, but the larger boy who
has grown to mans estate also occasionally y
catches the fever. Everybody has seen the
familiar POST no Bills sign changed into
"Post no Pills or Post no Rills,' by the
erssure of the lower part of the letter "B."
These cases may be attributed to tho small
boys In Main street store a sign has
recently been posted notifying Gus omers
that men who spit tobacco juice on the
floor of the store would be elected On
many of these signs letter 'R" has been
written in before the word "eiected," and
many of the firms customers are told that
they will be rejected"

Some shamokin newspapers, say some
because there are many of them, when there
is a cock fight in the town or near it have an
amusing way of trying to throw the police
off the scent, Whenever one reads in q
daily paper of main "in western suburb
it is sure that the fight was east OF the town
If the daily papers say that the fight occurred
near the county line" the fight really oc
Cured inside the town limits If the papers as
sert that the fight was Mt Carmel way" the
police know that it really happened as close
to the town rs possible. Some years ago the
method of trying to keep information as to
the locality Of fight from the police was
successful, but it is played out now, The
cock fighting fraternity are willing enough
to give up in form alton as to the fights, but
they do it only when they are assured that
no names will be mentioned in the papers
and that the place of the main will not be
named. Shenandoah, by the way, is one of
the cock fighting centers of the country. In
the winter months mains occur nearly every
week, Reports of these, however, seldom
appear in the papers. ODE.

"a great many people said a leading town
jeweler last week, have passion for
diamonds, which amounts to craze. They
do not care for any other precious stones and
will pass by a valuable amethyst OF ruby
without a glance, but will gaze longingly at
diamond Of lesser value. We have number
of people who come into the store regularly
just to look at our diamonds. They are moi
so financially fixed as to be able to buy the
stones but they love to look at them. Two
or three of these people are well known
Shenandoahites, and allow them to handle
the diamonds and examine them closely. II
is peculiar fact that long association with
diamonds makes man love them, even
though at first he does not care for them
This love does not come so much because OF
the intrinsic value of the stoucs as because OF
their beauty. The diamond taste, like that
for olives, is an acquired one

Several of the local societies are required
by their laws to not only pay sick benefits,
but also to Ell her provide a nurse OF
watchers. No members of any society is will
ing to serve in either capacity when the
case is one Of contagious disease and when
such service is given under the representa-
ton that the disease is not contagious, but it
is subsequently discovered that there has been
a deception, the feelings of these people can
readily be imagined. 1t was declared the
other night that in the future any misrepre.
sentations discovered will be reported to the
Board Of Health and prosecutions asked for.

chicago Fire.

The most remarkable art produc
,on Of modern times Is SAID to be
,be new Cyclorama of the Chicago
Fire located on Michigan Avenue,
in that enterprising city. The great
work is reported to have cost nearly
onarter of a million of dollars, and
shows in a very realistic and wonder
nj manner the great fire Of 1871.
The observer is placed in an ele
r,ted position on the site Of OLD Fort
Dearborn, Immediately south OF the
Rush St. Bridge, and from this his
,oric spot views this grand and awe
insnring scene. To the southwest
lies the business portion of the city,
smouldering mass of red hot ruins,
the great north side is a sea OF
flames, while along the lake shore
are two or three streets that are
doomed, but not yet destroyed, Civ
inc here a glimpse of the old Chi
caro of ante-fre days. The scene
along the lake shore in and about
the old U. S. Marine Hospital and
the Rush Street Bridge is one OF in
descrlbable conlusion-thousands OF
helpless and homeless in a wild and
furious flight for safety. The whole
effect is sublime and awful in the
extreme.
Unusual care was taken to make
bis grand work worthy of the sub
rct, and above all, to have it his
totically correct. Professor David

nayd Of this great historic event. 1t

the large snake had recovered and was

rabbits in circle made with his body.
Meantime the big snake had not moved,

his jaws with a snap that sounded like
a pistol shot, and his forlSed tongue
darted forth in an alarming manner.

rabbits on u steeple chase around the

snake evidently turning the matter

conclusion that he was not 70 get any

A WOMAN AND a BABY.
What She Did Vita 1t WXsse ITO Car Was
Going Three Blocks.

!
A woman got into a Cold Springs car
the other afternoon. She was carrying
sweet-faced baby, which was not
more than six months old.
The car was detained on the corner
where the woman got on, and she
shifted around nervously in her seat
for few moments and then began tc
toss the baby about Here is a true
description of what she did with that
child while the car was going three
blocks.
Held it upright on one knee for
thirty seconds. Then shifted it to the
other knee.
Pulled it up against her and hugged
It twice.
Tossed it on her left shoulder and
then shifted it to her right shoulder
Held it up to the window and then
stood it up on her lap.
Made a cradle out of her arms and
jumped it up and down about six times.
Placed it on her left knee. Then put
1t on her right knee.
Laid it on its stomach in her lap.
Rugged it to her bosom and patted it
seven times.
Held it up at the car window again,
then pulled it over to her left shoulder,
shifted it to her right shoulder, and
wound up by dumping If on her lap.
Tossed it in the air dozen times and
hugged it four or five times.
Laid it on its back in her lap and
then turned it SO that it lay on its
stomach.
Patted it for minute and hummed
"Hush-a-by, Baby" although the child
wasn't making sound.
Put it on her knee and ioggled her
knee up and down, shook in front of
her, holding it out at arms length, and
then hugged it ecstatically three times
Held it up to the window for the
third time and then, when the con-
ductor came after her fare, laid it in
mussy lump on the seat beside her.
Patted it some more, ioggled it some
more, tossed it some more and Topped
it down on its stomach again.
Held it out at arms length and gazed
at it rapturously. Talked. gibberish to
it and hugged it some more
