Society is always on the alert for
something new and novel; A new game
called the "onion social" has made its ap-
pearance and is growing into the favor os
the young people. This is how it is
played: Six young ladies stand in row;
one of them bites piece out of an onion,
and the gentlemen pay ten cents to guess
who bit it, The correct guessers kiss the
other five girls, while the unsuccessful
kiss the lass who bit the onion. People
who don't believe in card playing ought
enjoy this gsme.-B Blizzard.
The following is from the ST. John
News; 1.-TWO st. John girls became in
tatuated with the idea of having their
picture taken with their heads coouet-
ishly stuck through a torn newspaper.

=
ished they were Mortified to see what
they before had failed to notice-that in
the newspaper they had stuck their heads
through, just beneath their smiling aces,
was clothing FIRMS 'ad' headed: Our
pants are lined in the seat"
An editor out west having been
asked if he ever saw a bald-headed wo-
man, replied: "No, we never did Nor
did we ever see woman waltzing around
town in her shirt sleeves with cigar be-
tween her teeth and running into every
saloon she saw. We have never seen a
woman go fishing with a bottle in her
pocket, sit down on the damp ground all
day and go home drunk OF night. Nor
have we seen woman yank off her coat
and say she can lick any man in town.
No, God bless her, she isn't built that
way"
The REPUBLICAN,, as well as most all
other newspapers in Western Pa. was in
error last week when it stated that the
editor of the Clarion Jacksonian was do
ing time, in the county Jail. Bro. Shicl1
says he did not go to Jail, and that his
fine was paid, all of which we are very
glad to hear. But it is not surprising
that the newspapers reported that he was
serving out his fine, for where in crea-
Non man in the newspaper business
could scrape up hundred dollars these
hard times is more than we can under
stand.
Jim Shoemaker has been going
around town the past week with his left
arm in sling and minus about two
square inches of natures covering for
his right cheek. In some unknown
manner he ran darning needle or knit
ting needle in his arm, which goes to
show he was paving darn little attention
to his knitting "dRyhow" The injury
TO his phyz was caused by a fall. and
Jim says that since his rather uncere-
monious meeting with terra firma he has
firm belief in the theory expounded by
astronomers that the heavens are more
plentifully besprinkled with stars in
winter thar in summer .--li
