XXTITH appetites sharp as the swords
wv of Spain,
w And pie-crust as long as the coast
Of Maine,
No wonder you're seized with an inward
pain,
And made cross and grabbed.
But when you do shorten the pastry with
lard,
You render digestion remarkably hard:
We beg of the cooks Of the land to discard
This dangerous habit.
II ruins digestion. The experts insist It
Should never be used in pie-crust or
biscuit,
And never in cooking ct all should you
risk it.
But people must,
1t seems,
Have crust
To make pie;
And think it hard to Danish lard
With which to fry.
Now "CoTToLENE" is pure and cleGA
And will supply
The place Of lard in this regard.
Suppose you try
Croquettes, and see
How delicate and crisp they'll be.
Physicians, chemists, cooks, all say,
BY using "CoTToLENE" you may
Prepare your food in such way,
That children and dyspeptics too
Can eat what other people do.
Its color is quite golden looking,
No odor rises from its cooking;
1t will at once enlist your favor,
When you have tried its matchless haVoe
Your health and wealth you will enhances
BY giving "CoTToLENE" chance.

She was Rewarded.

f. w. McMillen came very nearly
seeing his saw mill, which is located
about three miles from Reynoldsville 20
up in smoke last Wednesday morning
about five O'Clock. Mrs. McMillen was
the first TO discover the fire. The
alarm was given and in very few
minutes the mill hands were ready to
combat with the fire iend which was
drowned out before much damage was
done. Mr.. McMilen says he has nine
of the best men that ever worked on q
saw mill. He went into j. b. Arnolds'
store Wednesday afternoon and said,
'Mr. Arnold, my wife saved my mill
from burning down this morning and |
want the best dress goods you have in
the store" He got her n good dress.
There was no insurance on the mill and
large amount of lumber which was close
by. Mr.. McMillen is inclined TO think
that he had presentiment of the fnan-
cial embarrassment that almost visited
him, for II the fire had gained the
victory IL would have been heavy
loss to him. He was at Brookville the
day before and was worried about some
thing but could not tell what was the
matter. Some of his intimate friends
asked him what was troubling him.
He could not be prevailed upon to stay
at Brookville all night because he felt
that he ought to go home, and yet
could give no good reason why he
should go.

Found Dead in Bead,

Mrs. Margaret Milliren, relct Of
Daniel Milliren who passed into the
Great Beyond over ten years ago, died
at her home near Emerickville some
time Thurday morning Feb. 9th, at the
age of seventy years and seven months.
She was an active old lady who had
been member Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church for forty-two years, where
she was faithful worshiper up to the
time of her death The old lady was
apparently in her usual health when
retiring Wednesday evening and when
the girl went to call her Thursday
morning she was found dead in bed, but
the spirit had not long before taken its
flight, rs the body was not entirely cold
yet. Heart trouble Is supposed TO have
been the cause of her death. Her
maiden name was Margaret Mckinley,
and she was married to Daniel Milliren
at Roseville, this county, iifty-two years
ago. They moved into Emerickville
forty-five years ago, where she has
since lived and was loved and highly
respected by all who knew her. Her
husband and four children preceded her
beyond the valley of death. Six child
ren, of whom our townsman, A. G.
Milliren, is one, are still living. Her
funeral services were held in the NJ. f.
church at Emerickville at ten o'clock
Sunday forenoon, conducted by Rev.
Jas. II. Jelbart and her remains were
inferred in the family burying ground
on the old homestead near Emerickville.
The large crowd that attended the
funeral was evidence of the high regard
in which the friends and neighbors held
the "old mother in Israel"

Not all Roses.

The sleighing party of young people
from Punxsutawney, Brookville and
Dubois who came to Reynoldsville for
a dance and supper last Thursday even
ing did not return to their respective
homes before the dawn Of the following
morning in high glee, especially the
Punxsutawney and Dubois parties.
The first sled load for Dubois found the
road flooded before they reached Rath-
mel and in attempting to drive through
upset. An upset in the snow is one of
the novelties OF sleigh ride, but an
upset in the water puts ''damper" on
the pleasure, therefore, the load re-
turned to Reynoldsville. Ascend load
started out and met the same fate and
they also returned TO wait for daylight.
A third load left here for Dubois and
got lost and drove ten or fifteen miles
out of the way. 1t would be hard to
convince them that ''the farthest way
round is the nearest way home" under
such circumstances. Water and a
break down were some of the obstacles
the Punxsutawney parties had to con-
tend with. Some of the young people
from all three places finished their
sleigh ride on the morning passenger
trains. The difficulty of home going
found not its way into the ball room
while the "mazy dance" was going on,
cen though the rain drops fell fast all
night.

a good physician if he applies himself
studiously to the undertaking, but If he
ever comes to Reynoldsville to practice

On the Right Track.

January 4th ]. Kaufman, of Punxsu-
tawney, opened an auction store in the
Flynn building in this place and Sykes,
Allis & Moorhouse, proprietors of the
woolen mills, had him arrested for con-
spiracy, with intent to defraud. The
sheriff appeared on the scene and locked
the goods up until the matter was set
tied. The woolen mill men had sold
Kaufman goods in his own name and
afterwards he bought goods from them
but had the goods shipped in his father
in-law's name, ]. Addison. Kaufman
claimed when arrested here that he
was only clerk for Addison when the
unpaid bill Of goods was bought and
that he could not be held responsible
for the debt Of his employer. He tried
bluff game" but the woolen mill
men were on the right track and would
not be scared off," The grand jury
found a true bill against Kaufman at
BroolSville last week. A few hours be-
fore the case was to come before the
Court Kaufman wanted to settle. The
original bill amounted to $3l7.00, the
costs were almost s40O He was willing
to, and will, pay the entire bill. The
goods were shipped from Reynoldsville
to Altoona on Friday in another mans
name.

just settled into his usual pleasant
mood after having had a set-to with one
of those fellows who are grasping enough
to want to subdivide the clay they are
made Of and sell it for town lots. Brook

want a newspaper to give them compli-
mentary notices and then they, in turn,
will try to "beat" the editor out of a
subscription or expect their work done

To Divide the Prothonotary's Office.

lPunNsutawney spirt.l
Bills were introduced simultaneously
in the Senate and House last Thursday
by Senator Mitchell and Representative
Smith, to divide the prothonotary's Of
flee in each of the counties of this State
containing population Of not less than
10000, and appropriating $4,000 to the
Memorial home at Brookville. The
basis of the proposed division for the
Prothonotary's Office was, one person to
fill the Office OF Prothonotary, clerk of
the courts OF general quarter sessions
and oyer and terminer, and one person
to fill the Office of recorder of deeds,
register of wills and clerk of the
orphans court. 1t will make two of the
best offices in the county after it is
divided, and will give an additional
patriot chance to serve his country.
But it is difficult matter to do. 1t has
been attempted in almost every con-
ceivable way by many different persons
since 1873, but has invariably been
vetoed. We believe that the bill now
introduced is constitutional, however,
and have hopes that it will escape the
fate of its predecessors.
