The Statesmen Recount Their Amusing Ex-
periences With Various Customers.
One morning, when by mistake we
had arrived at the store ten minutes be-
fore the arrival Of the boss with the
keys, the men were amusing themselves
relating their experience with various
customers.
"W'hy is it," asked the Tool Man,
"that SO many people get twisted with
corllscrews and screwdriyers!'
Mature Of the tool" suggested the
Cutlery Man.
Whatever the reason continued the
Tool Man, II have observed the almost
universal confusion of a screwdriyer
and corkscrew. 1t is an everyday OCCUR
renee with ladies as well as men, only
a lady asks for a corkscrew and man
for j screwdriver and then look at you
SO surprised
''Or when they want lid litter, y"
said the Stove Man, mine people out of
ten ask for stove litter >"
did you ever notice." remarked the
Cutlery Man, how man or q woman
express themselves when at loss for a
name""
whats in a name anyway" inter-
rupted the Tool Man. 1.-THE woman who
asked for clear tacks got what she
wanted as quickly as though she had ask
ed for timed tacks. Such requests give
opportunities for mental gymnastics,
and thus relieve the lethargic tenGen-
cies incident to continuous routine
work. +"
Without apparently observing the in
terruption the Cutlery Man continued:
1.-The other day q lady came rustling
into the store. She was one of those
nervous, bustling little women, and she
wanted "a pair of 'twinchers.' Noticing
my blank look, she said, You know, like
this, making a motion with her thumb
and forefinger that at once suggested
'tweezers When a man wants an ar
ticle he can't name, he gets out a pencil,
tears the bacl, from an envelope and pro-
ceeds to give an idea
"a lady gave me IN idea," again re-
marked the Stove Man, ION selling gas
stoves. While showing them to her she
asked some question to which confessed
ignorance. To my surprise she said :
We'll, you may send me this one. I
asked Mr.. - (naming u competitor)
that question, and he told me SO much l
did not know what to believe, but do
believe you. "-Hardware.

THIRD EDITION
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
The Session May be Extended to the First
Week In June.


Week In June.
HARRISBURG, May 13.-The legislature
is getting ready to adjourn. Bills are be-
ing rushed through both bodies with I'M
precedented haste. Speaker Walton wants
TO get away the latter purt of next week
He insists that the calendars can be
cleared by that time if the house will keep
right at work. Mr. Walton's belief is not
shared by his older and more experienced
colleagues. They say it is absolutely i'm
possible to adjourn finally before the first
week Of June. If il should be decided to
quit business at that time many of the
bills on the calendars will have to be
dropped
There is much to do from now until the
close of the session The apportionment
and appropriation bills have not yet been
considered. At this evenings session of
the house a calendar of forty-eight APP
preparation bills will be read for the
first time. The senate apportionment
committee has not yet reported out any
bills. The house committee still has up
wards Of $50 on hand, which will bo held
back until those now on the calendar are
well advanced.
The revenue bill framed by the state tax
conference will be considered on third
reading tomorrow in the house. On We'd
nesday the bill creating the county Of
Quay will be called up in the house for
final passage. Its friends are confident that
they have enough votes to put it through
this stage. On Tuesday evening the op-
ponent of the Porter school bill will be
given a hearing by the house municipal
corporations committee.
Governor Hastings is disposing of the
bills as fast as they reach him. He has
very few under consideration. Among
them is the Farr compulsory education
bill, which will probably be signed tomor
row, along with the other bills not yet
acted upon. On Wednesday meeting of
the board of pardons will be held for the
consideration of a number of cases which
have been pending for several months.

be Hoods Sarsaparilla, and was sentenced
by Judge Macy to one year at hard lNbor

methods were those Of travelling fakir.
He has been travelling through Missouri,
Nebraska and Iowa, making stands of u

ing himself as an agent under salary from
G. l. Hood g. Co., and selling his concoc-
tion at one dollar or fifty cents per bottle,
giving with each sale various other worth
less articles. Citizens of Griswold, Iowa,
became suspicious and ascertaining from
a druggist that Ailor's compound was not
Hoods Sarsaparilla, but merely colored
water, had him arrested. Three indict
ments were found against him, the jury
convicted him after only thirty minutes
deliberation, and he was sentenced as
above. This incident suggests the wisdom
of purchasing medicines only of reputable
dealers whom you know. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is never sold by peddlers, and such
offering it should be at once reported to
the authorities, or to c. l. Hood & Co.,
