The two-line task in vain he tres
And tries again to momerize.
Dismissed. Tom, quite another chap,
Before billboard stands agape,
Ii stretches half block or moro,
With circus posters pasted Ger.
Jaw-breaking words crowd every part
And Tom has learned them all BY heart

coming epidemic in the churches.

wound up yesterday with snow and ram
and a thunder storm while the mercury

put on the tombstone of the New Jersey
man who died few days ago of hiccoughs

An honest man may be the noblest
| work of God, says the Bradford Era, yet
he may be an awful nuisance when he gets
etuck on his particular virtue. The same
paper remarks that the self man usu-

-,Seanor is the best horse buyer that
comes through this county-that is he pays
the best prices and buys more horses than
any other buyer. Last week he bought

nineteen in Grove City, and thirteen in
Butler, paying from $45 to $l30. He ex
poets to be here again next Tuesday.
The immensity of the Pennsylvania
lines can be judged from the following:
Every minute there are 10 tons of coal,
170. 900 gallons of water and IL gallons of
oil used. 1t has on It's pay rolls 104. 600
employees, and to pay them every hour
takes block of silver sxSx20 inches. TIE
receipts of the Penn'a Co. last year run
over $l3O 600, 900.
AS warm weather will soon be here a
timely caution may not be out of place.
There are 1000, 900 sweat pores and nine
miles of Precipitation pores in the human
body. These figures are given by some
one who has made count, and may be ac
cspted as approximately correct. They
are sufficient, anyway, to show that it is
fearful thing for fellow to exert himself
to the sweating point.
Bill Nye writes: "Every newspaper
man has, at some time in his newspaper
experience, met the man who takes more
papers than he can read. He was in town
last week. He paid 25 cents for an alman-
&C. wiped his nose on an awning, tried to
blow out an electric light at the hotel, tried
to light his segar on it, put nickle in the
slot at the postofice because the mail
didn't appear, wanted to lick the CASH er
of the bank because it closed at o'clock,
and watched the sign over the jewelry
store looking for it to strike"
An exchar &c sounds warning to the
farmers as follows: If any farmer in this
section has produced samples of grain from
the Worlds Fair agriculture building he
will do we'll to burn it forthwith. 1t has
been found that the whole exhibit has
been attacked by the weevil. pest whose
larva is worm that burrows into the
grain, and has done enormous damage to
the crops in Southwestern Russia and in
India, whence, doubtless, it was brought
to the Worlds Fair. 1t is stated that

Ing to be-in fact is-a very valuable vol
ume from a historical standpoint. The
book is handsomely printed and contains
pictures by the photogravure process of
every monument erected by Pennsylvania

speech was made by some one who par
ticipated in the fight, and they have thus
preserved in PRINT facts and statements
that gives the true story of the part Penn
sylvania played in the great struggle.
