DEATH IN A LOVE LETTER.
A GIRLS TONGUE CUT IN SEALING II
CAUSED BLOOD POISONING.

Miss Helen Musgrave, of Cameron
township, near Sbamokin found death
in letter to her lover. While mois-
tening the back of the envelope pre-
paratory to sealing it the young girls
tongue was slightly lacerated, which
resulted in blood poisoning, from
which she died on Sunday.
The girl had had quarrel with her
lover, Herman Shultz, about two
weeks ago, and he left for Pittsburg.
AS soon as he was gone, however, she
repented, and for several days she
worried over the affair, and sat down
and wrote the letter, asking forgive
ness and pleading with HIM to return.
1t was in sealing this letter that her
tongue received the lacerations which
ended in her awful death.
DOOMED TO DIE.
Her tongue began to swell, and or
the fourth day after the letter was
mailed sharp pains racked her system
Doctors were called in, and after 9
careful examination found that she
could not recover.
The patient bore the announce
ment of her fate bravely, but asked
that her lover be notified of her con
dition. His response was prompt
and he arrived last Saturday, but only
to find her dying. With tears in he
eyes she asked him to kiss her, anc
then they sobbed in each others arms
Death ended her sufferings early or
Sunday morning, and she was buried
Wednesday afternoon.

POINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW.

Self possession is nine points of the
lawyer.
Women forgive injuries, but never
forget sights.
The man who is hopeless OF a home
is ruined man.
To be trusted is greater compli-
ment than to be loved.
Life is too short for attempts or
pretences that end in nothing.
God sees heroes where men see
only the commonest kind of people.
The wise man knows he knows
nothing, the fool thinks he knows all.
1t is miserable sight to see a poor
man proud and a rich man avaricious.
There is more trouble in having
nothing to do than in having much to
do.
Some folks, like tugboats, seldom
accomplish anything without a great
deal of putting and blowing but, un
like tugboats, they often puff anc
blow without accomplishing anything
Be cheerful. If you have no great
trouble on your mind you have nc
right to render other people miserable
by your long face and dolorous tones,
If you do you will be generally avoid
ed.
Moral worth is best. To be righ
is always to be powerful. Falthfulness
charity and justice to all is the onl,
true measure by which to live and b,
which to die. Wrong is always wronl
and never can be made right.

When praise is going up, showers

Considering what God has done

There is only here and there man
who praises God half as much as he

When we have keen eye for the
faults Of others, we are apt to be

A right state of heart cannot be

LIKE HIS SUBSCRIPTION BILL.

"Can you tell me what sort of
weather we may expect next month";"
wrote farmer to his local paper, and
the editor replied as follows: "It is
my opinion the weather next month
will be very much like your subscrip-
ton bill" The farmer wondered for
an hour what the editor was driving
at, when he happened to think of the
word "unsettled." He sent a post
Office order. And now the editor is
wondering why more subscribers don't
ask him about the weather next
month.

A new device is being introduced
which will make banks safer proof
against nitro-glycerine explosion, says
the Wilkes Barre Record, and expert
ments have been made at the Wyom
ing National Bank in that city by
agents of Chicago firm showing the
efficacy of a secret packing which is
so placed in a safe that il becomes
nitro-glycerine proof in other words,
burglars cannot place this explosive
SO that it can damage safe. Here
tofore it was always found possible to
get the nitro-glycerine into the lock
or about the hinges and safe other
wise burglar proof could in many cases
be blown open. The combination
lock spindle also afforded a means of
ingress for nitroglycerine, but by the
adoption of the packing and lock of
the Chicago firm referred to it is
utterly impossible to use the nitro
glycerine with any effect. The first
thing the agents did at the bank was
to remove the lock spindle and make
the door perfectly solid. Then around
the edges of the door they inserted
their secret packing and rendered il
perfectly air tight when the door
is closed. Kerosene oil was used to
attempt to penetrate the cracks, bu,
it was found utterly impossible to dc
SO. A 5oo-pound air pump was also
used, with which it was shown thai
the secret packing had rendered the
door air tight. The invention is con
sidered valuable one and is being
adopted by banks all over the country
The combination lock heretofore or
the safe has been removed and ;
Murton Harris automatic lock substi
tuted. BY this device even th'
cashier is unable to tamper with it
The door cannot be locked withou,
first setting the time lock and it can
not be opened until the time expires
If the cashier locks the door on Sat
urday night, setting the time lock a
8 a. m. on Monday it is impossible
for him to open the safe before tha
time. But when that hour arrive.
the bolts fly back and the door swing
open.

mending to do, and dresses or bonnets

toll, for they must look neat, and they
have no time during the day to attend

Women, therefore, notwithstanding
their delicate organism, work longer

They do not promptly heed such
signs as headache, backache, blues,

sleep and appetite, whites, irregular

swollen feet, etc, all symptoms OF
