The members of the congress have the
luxury of private secretaries at $1,000
year each, who perform the real work of
answering inquiries of constituents and
writing speeches. About all the repre-
sentatives of the people are expected to
do is to watch out for appropriations, de-
liver the speeches written for them, dis
tribute postoffices and draw their sal
aries. There is no reasonable defense to
the proposition to increase their burdens
by making their salaries larger. There
fore, we are inclined to regard Mr.. Boat
ner's bill as sly dig at the deficit with
a view to joshing Mr. Cleveland and his

All of One Opinion.

Some we'll dressed ladies of Reynolds
vile were discussing the latest fashions
the other day and of course they talked
about fine dress goods, of which they
are good judges. They all agreed that
Bing & Co. have the finest and largest
line of dress goods to select from to be
found in Reynoldsville. And US to quail
ity of goods, the ladies agreed again
that this firm leads all others. They
all said they intended buying their
goods from Bing & Co. because their
prices are low and they are a reliable
firm; "You can depend on what they
say" One lady said: "We will make
no mistake in buying from Bing & Co."
Another one said: "You are right,

Skipped to York State.

Love laughs at difficulties and will
not be thwarted by the obstacles which
arise from the marriage license laws OF
Pennsylvania so long as swift express
trains run into state where the nuptial
knot can be tied without asking per-
mission from the law. William Buchan-
nan and Miss Nancy Rockey, Of Aliens
Mills, had little experience last week
which was unexpected. The young
people had fully decided that their love
for each other was SO strong that life
would not be worth the living II they
could not travel life's pathway hand in
hand, so one Of them popped the ques-
tion-which one we cannot tell as this
is leap year-and the wedding day was
set for Wednesday Of last week. All
things were in readiness, even the
brass band tuned up their horns to help
make merry on the evening of the
wedding day, and the prospective bride
and groom went to John S. Barr's office
in Brookville TO ask the law to grant a
permit for their marriage, and to the
utter astonishment Of the young couple
the law said, ''not now" "The young
lady is not Of age, her parents are dead,
guardian has never been appointed
and you will have to wait until May
term of court, have a gardian appointed
and you can then get the license"
Hard hearted law. However, nothing
daunted, though the obstacles in the
way were Rockey, the Mr.. and Miss
resolved that they would not wait until
May, and on Thursday morning they
boarded a b., II. & p. fast express and
skipped te Salamanca, N. Y, and we're
happily married.

Died Sunday.

Nelson Agustus Anderson, son of
Mrs. Joanna Anderson of West Reyn-
oldsville, died at ITO A. NJ, Sunday
March l5, aged IS years, 10 months and
10 days. The day before last Thanks
giving August took sick and had long
siege OF it, several times he was so near
the gates OF death that little hope was
entertained for his recovery, but he got
better and was able to get out Of the
house few times. Two weeks ago
dropsy and heart trouble laid hold of
the young man which ended his life at
the time above stated. A few years
ago, while acting as messenger boy for
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
August, boy-like, attempted to get on a
moving freight train and kind hands
picked him up from under the cruel
wheels with his left ankle so badly
crushed that amputation was necessary.
The boy sold papers on the streets
afterwards and became well known In
Reynoldsville. The last words the boy
uttered were: Mamma. oh mamma
dear" Funeral services were held In the
M. e. church at 2.30 yesterday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. ]. w. Crawford.
Remains were buried In Beulah
cemetery.

Good English.

Now and then we hear some super
cilious person, who would like to acquire
very cheaply the credit of being elegant
in the use of English and profound in
linguistic lore, critizing the use of such
words as "hap,' for comfort, gears"
for harness, 'poke" for bag, "spider"
forskillet, etc. They are provincalisms,
but are good English. They are given
In Webster's Dictionary, and are
occasionally employed by the best
writers. But there is word in COM
mon use in Pennsylvania for which
there is no justification. 1t is not au-
thorized by Webster or anybody else.
That is the word 'rnind" used in the
sense remember. 'Do you mind the
time?" The word mind" has many
meanings, but it cannot be properly
used as synonym for "remember."-

Order them TO Git.

Many persons think it an act of char
ity to feed the worthless tramps who
make living by begging. One of these
wandering Willies called on an Altoona
man for something to eat and when he
was refused, drew knife and struck at
the man almost severing his thumb and
cutting a deep cash in the palm of his
hand. The proper way to greet most
tramps is with shot gun, and order

COLONEL II. BoYLEs DEAD.
Father of Mrs. J. Van Reed--Was in his
Nineteth Year.


Col. Henry Boylcs, aged eighty.ninc
years last month, father OF Mrs. j. Van
Reed of Reynoldsville, died Mt the home
Of his daughter Mrs. Hannah McKin-
ney, at Sligo, Pa, early last Thursday
morning after tcn-day struggle with
pneumonia, which proved too much for
man Of his age. Special meetings
were being held in the Presbyterian
church at Sligo which Mr.. Boyles had
been attending and by so doing he con-
tracted a heavy cold which developed
into pneumonia and soon ended the
earthly career Of what had been useful
life. The deceased. who was born near
Bellcfonte In 1907 and had been n school
mate Of Ex-Gov. Curtin, deceased,
moved with his parents TO Clarion
county in 1922, in which county he ever
afterwards resided as an honest, well-to-
do farmer. He was very intelligent
and, therefore, was useful In the com
munity In which he lived. When In
the prime Of life he could handle plow
or make good political speech. Ten
years he served as Colonel Of Pennsyl-
vania Malta, being appointed by two
different Governors, and when the war
broke out between the north and south
would have gone with his company to
defend his country, but was rejected
because he was TO old. He was n
Democrat up until 1856 and from that
time has always been n staunch Repub-
lican, but never hankered after office.
He was pressed hard once by his party
TO be candidate for sheriff Of Clarion
county, which he emphatically declined.
Mr.. Boyles had been member of the
Presbyterian church three-score and
five years. Eight years ago, in her
eighty-ninth year, Mrs. Boyles, wife Of
the deceased, died. The remains OF
Col. Boyles were buried beside his wife
in the Rimersburg cemetery Saturday.
Three children, DR.. r. M. Boyles OF
Dubois, Mrs. J. Van Reed OF this place,
and Mrs. Mckinney Of Sligo, survive
the old man.
