"No," admitted a man this morning,
"my wife never tells me that she is fond
of me, but she always makes the kind of
pie 1 like best"
Women are much the same world over.
Two daughters of Italy were carrying
loads of wood on their heads down Ninth
street YESTERDAY, when one of them
stopped to ask the other if her wood was
on straigbt-Phils. Record.
John Beverly, a colored pugilist Of
Franklin has issued a challenge to fight
Herman Fixel of Meadville ten-round
contest. Beverly will be remembered
here as a member of colored camp
meeting crowd, and played some ball
| games with the Tionesta club.
The faculty Of Grove City College will
probably be obliged to attach ball and
chain to the legs of students. Last week
Claude c. Gilger, of Hadley, and j. II.
Mcclure, of Homestead, were expelled
| from the college, without recourse, for
attending private dance. The cases Of
several similar offenders are said to be
before the faculiy.--Franklin News.
Bill Dalton, a member of the noted
Dalton gang of outlaws, is reported dy-
ing from the effects of a wound received
in the fight at Ingalls,, o. t., last June.
He is forty or fifty miles east of Perry,
| hiding in cave, which is carefully
| guarded by the remainder Of the gang.
United States Marshall Nix, of Oklaha-
ma, is organizing a raid on the gang.
There is a mistaken idea in this State
that convicts who serve a term in the
penitentisry lose their citizenship and
the right to vote. The law of Pennsyl-
vania proposes that convict, on the ex-
piration OF his term, shall be re-absorbed
into the body of the people and given a
chance to become useful man. To this
end, conviction of crime does not carry
with it loss of citizenship, except in the
single case of perjury.
The town is again being worked by
free crayon portrait" scheme. This
time they offer not only a free picture,
but free frame to go with it. The circu-
lars are very promising. Probably the
artists take this method of distributing a
cash surplus which they have no other
satisfactory means of investing. Proba-
bly,; and then-but you can bite and find
out for yourself how people can success
fnlly carry on business and take their
pay in the privilege of doing it.-Frank-
lin News.
A new magnetic telephone was tested
between New York and Chicago last
Saturday, with highly satisfactory re-
suits. The new telephone does away
with batteries, induction coils and resis-
| tence contacts. 1t works OH different
| principle from the Bell telephone and the
central Office service is dispensed with.
Each telephone user by the touch of a
button, automatically connects his line
with any other line in the system with
out calling up central. The system has
been used in several western cities for a
year or more.
The latest social fad is known as an
'extortion social" The way it works is
this: A committee of six is appointed to
assess fines, and no one but them is in
formed of the rules until some infraction
costs him or her two cents. There are
fines for coming too late, for coming with
out lady, for loud talking, for awkward
ness at the table, for married men talk
ing to other mems wives, and in fact for
nearly everything. If person thinks a
fine unjust he appeals to jury, but the
iurymen costs two cents each and the
judge five cents.
At a revival meeting at New Brighton,
Sunday night, the minister got very
warm in his denunciation of sinners, and
in the course of his remarks said a GER
tain young lady, who had met with sud-
den death in that place recently, had,
prior to her death, been pleaded with by
him to join the church. But she had
steadtastly refused and had died in her
sins. Furthermore, the speaker said he
was satisfied she had gone straight to
hell. AS soon as the meeting was ad-
journed young map, who had been a
close friend TO the girl whose memory
the minister had DETAINED met him out
side and gave him sound thumping.
State Supt. of Public instruction
Schaeffer assures the County Supt. of
Tioga that he is not playing a game of
bluff in sending out an order that unless
school districts have a continuous term
he will withhold their appropriation. DIR.
Schaeffer rules that the division of the
six months into several terms is a mani
fest violation of the law. This is done
by country district school boards to save
a month or two, in the meanwhile de-
| priving pupils Of the benefits of the
school law. A number of districts have
even reduced the term and the tax as
well depending upon the appropriation
to pull them through. These are the dis
tricts DR., Schaeffer is after, and his as
surance to the Supt. OF Tioga is his an
swer to ever county in the State. 1t will
brace up the economical Directors to the
meaning of the law.-Phila Press.
