A Neat Swindling Trick.

The latest swindling game was prac-
ticed successfully the other day at Ben
ton, Pa. Two men, who appeared to
oe strong silver and gold advocates,
were in the central depot and became
involved in a heated discussion. The
gold man offered to get a gold double
eagle that if he hammered the coin into
a shapeless mass it would still be worth
$40 He was ostensibly taken up by
the silver advocate, but when it came
to selling the lump to Jeweler Roth the
store was closed. James Hagerty. a
strong sound money advocate who
stood by and who had implicit faith in
the value of gold, gave the man 500 for
the battered coin. The two enthusi-
asts disappeared shortly after, and then
it was discovered that the metal left
by them was spurious.

of these names being his perferyid
calculations during prayer. Mr.. Bowen
is upward of 80 years of age, and not
withstanding the fact that he has had
his ribs broken and is both blind and
deaf. he retains all the earnest and hon
est enthusiasm that characterized his
long career in the pulpit. On the plat
form or in the street he is a conspicu-
Gus figure, as his snowwhite hair falls
in a mass of curls and ripples around
his wrinkled face. He is over six feet
tall, and in spite of his advanced age
the huge frame is scarcely bent. Last
summer, for the first time in so years,
Mr.. Bowen was unable to attend camp

THE PRAYER OF CGLEBs.

Another gone! Alas, one more
Deuded by n womans trick!
Another stalwart bachelor
To figure as a benedicl<!
"a marriage" see, has been arrangeu
Between Miss Blank and"-yes, and
Harry
MY well-loved friend, you must have
changed;
You, of all men alive, 20 marry!
At Cambridge on debating nights,
Brown and yourself shone in the lists
As valiant foes of "Woman's Rights"
A pair of stanch misogynists;
How yalueess your speeches prove!
Brown, too, understand, is fated
To make, like you, the deadly move
Which loses all, by which you're mated.
But, though mourn for you, my friend,
My fears are not for you alone;
This fall of yours, does it portend
A like disaster of my own?
Is love n brief insanity
Which seizes all of usf Shall no men
Escape its ravages? Shall |
Become a lover? Abs:t omen!
Oh, Maud, or Muriel, or Kate!
Your name, from force of circumstance,
l cannot definitely state;
Let us entreat you in advance;
Oh, unknown maid whom l shall WOO,
Let me put forward my petition
Before you have reduced me to
A semi-mbecile condition.
When, on some fragrant summer eve,
vow that you are quite divine,
And ask you simply to believe
There never was such love as mine,
Despise such platitudes rs those,
From my demented self protect me,
And if l finally propose,
Be kind, be generous and reject me.

began chewing tobacco, and although
he made repeated efforts to abandon
the habit the craving for the weed mas

Pt Pleasant Register.
The account published yesterday
in the Pittsburg Dispatch, about
the ravages of a mad dog in that
city, the day before, by which four
people were bitten, should be a
warning to owners of dogs to
keep them in kennel or securely
tied up, at this time, when dogs
generally go mad, aud when only
few months ago there was a mad
dog scare in this county.
The town council is in duty
bound to protect the citizens OF
this town from hurt or injury OF
the worthless ours that abound in
this town. They should not hest.
tate to pass an ordinance forbid
ding owners of dogs to allow them
to roam the town, without let OF
hindrance. But the safest way
would be to kill every dog seen up
on the streets.
The life and limb of a citizen is
worth more than all the dogs il

The Bedford Times Republican offers
to accept subscriptions at 81 per wear
payable if Mckinley is elected and free
if he is not elected. Nothing risky in
that-except for reluctant subscribers.
Bryan says there is such a thing as
dollar being too good. A dollar and a
wife, says the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
''are two things that can't be too good,
and they are too hard to get to be read
lily traded off for a cheap dollar or cheap
wife, just because those are easier to GET.
1t is not necessary that anybody should
follow up Bryan to answer and confute
what he says. He does that himself
Bryan tells gaping crowds that after
taking one bottle of his Free Silver Tonic
any man can lift himself over the fence
by his bootstraps. And some men be-
lieye him.

nothing more than to have the mill Or
factory which once employed him open
its doors again so that he may support
his family as he did in Mckinley times,
the assurance that the tariff question is
puerile comes with very little force. To
him it is the political question of all

government has put a lien on him for
twenty years for the payment of interest
