purchase of one copy n day, or you
think to find any newspaper worth

Any person who claims that ad-

Il. b. McWilliams for convincing
proof. Two weeks ago he inserted
a local saying that he wanted all
kinds of bottles. Mr.. McWilliams
says the people came in from all
parts of the county with baskets and
buggies and spring wagons over
loaded with bottles. We inserted
the local again last week in tho PosT
and the bottles are still coming in.
Letters have been received from
Adamsburg, Selins-
grove and many other places inquir-
ing about the bottle business. He
has requested us not to insert the
local anymore fearing that bottles
will be brought with four horse
teams on wagons with hay ladders.
Mr.. McWilliams desires more bottles
but no panel bottles.

Dlx's FAMOUS ORDER.

The Original Document Is Apparently Not
Where 1t Should Be.
Representative Grady, of North Caro-
lima, is gentleman of correct habits
and great dignity. He is also an ardent
student of history and literature, says
the Washington Post. Not long ago he
walked into the house library, and, ac-
costing one of the young men who are
appointed to wait on members, he re-
guested him to get copy of the book
containing the famous order of Gen.
Dix to shoot any man on the spot who
attempts to haul down the American
flag.
The clerk began to search for the
book, running over shelves of historical
volumes, groping in dusty corners, and
turning over pages of war histories
that would be likely to contain a copy
of the order. Finally, after spending
half an hour in unavailing search, he
said to Mr.. Grady:
81 can't find it. There is but one
place where know you can find it."
''Where is that?n asked Grady
SIN Blanks saloon, ON Pennsylvania
avenue. I've seen the original order
there, in frame hung up for the in
spection of the public"
I'm Blanks saloon, eh?' echoed Mr..
Grady, fixing his eyes sharply on the
young man. ''Well, sir, l never &c

With the risin' sun to greet.him from night of
peaceful rest
As he leaves the house bareheaded and goes

When the best of summers over and the coolin'

And the humble of the hummin birds and buzz

But the airs so appetizin', and the landscape
through the haze
OF crisp and sunny morning of the airly an

Is pictur' that no painter has the colorin' to
mock
When the frost is on the punkin and the fod-

The husky, rusty rustic of the tossels of the

And the raspin of the tangled leaves, as golden
as the MORN
The stubbie in the furries--kind o lonesome
preachin' sermons to us of the barns they
growed to fill;
The strawstacks in the medder and the reaper

The bosses in the shed below-the clover over

Oh, il sets my heart a-cleken like the tickin' of

When the frost is on the punkin and the fod-
