VOLTS WHISPERS TRIMMED.
Got Into Trouble with a society. for Cut

New York HeralI.D

Wolf Siedels whiskers--his pride and
his gIory-have brought HIM into dire
disgrace. Through them he became a
leading member OF a society or bewhis-
kered mon known by the euphonistic title
OF Chevra Swat Anshi Polaria. He bad
them trimmed without consulting his fell
Iow-members; they fined him and expelled
him from the organization.

Wolf fell from grace one hot day In
June. The burden OF hts whiskers was

YOUNG MEN IN BUSINESS.

AocA>0 uAEA< AiN pCoANhoos
 The public were given surprise a year ago, when it was known that Henry s. Beers, the longtime merchant at the Iron Works, had sold out his business, his successor being William J. Beehler, who had been with him for eight years. MT Beers had great confidence in MT Beehler, and rapidly advanced him while he was in his employ. The store occu- pied by MT Beehler is model building, by the way. The main building is 60x3O, two stories, with an ell 20x30. In the southwest corner, near the door, is the postoffice corner. The main salesroom is large and roomy. In the rear MT Beehler has large private office, which is used by the town officers, MT Beehler being town treasurer. MT Beehler first began work when he was 16 years old for MT Blackman in the Glen. Through the influence of M. B. Terrill and Dr Betts of Sandy Hook he secured position with MT Beers, remaining with him and suc- ceeding him in business. This store is the old Beers & Fairchild stand. Daniel G. Beers. was proprietor for long time, then Beers & Brother, followed by Hen- ry s. Beers, who was there 2S years. MT Beehler carries the usual stock of coun- try merchandise, and keeps up with the times. The secret of his success has been hard work and close application to busi- ness, good principles for any young man to bank on.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.


 It's an old saying that an ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure. In these times of typhoid fever around our town, it is one of our most important du- ties to look to the health of our families. Keep clean Our cellars, drains and cess pools need looking to, and often. The water we drink may have much D do with our present sickness. The free use of lime is one of the cheapest land prob ably oneiof the best disinfectants we can use around our homes. Hundreds of bushels can be had at the Plumtrees lime kiln for almost the price of drawing. Every family should have barrel ham, dy by for use. If your cellar bottom is not cemented use lime. Then use it in your drains and in every place where dis ease is liable to exist. In all cases of ty- phoid fever doctors are sure to examine all of these places for cause.
 $. $. Dunning and wife returned, last Friday, from their trip to Chautauqua. They report a delightful ana instructive two weeks stay at this famous place, where the air is dry and cool and where people afflicted with hay fever find relief.

A SLIGHT ACCIDENT.

I. B. Harris had a narrow escape from a serious accident on Monday. He was driving up through Newtown Street, with horse attached to a sulky. MT Harris believes the horse was frightened by the thunder, as suddenly it reared up. Mir Harris was thrown from the sulky, but escaped with few slight bruises. Charles G. Peck, who was following close behind, at once went to Mir Harris assistance, as we'll as several other gen. tlemen who chanced to be near. One of the thills to the sulky was smashed. MT Harris is to be congratulated on his for tunate escape from what might have been a very bad affair.
