Important to Whcelmen.

In the matter OF carrying bicycles
free. All wheclmen should bear in
mind that the Beech Creek II. II. and
its connections in Pennsylvania have
never made any charge for carrying
bicycles but have always gladly assisted
the wheelmen to go comfortably about
the country with their machines when
rough roads make it impossible to ride.
The Beech Creek II. II. is always in
advance as to liberal dealings with the
public and this well understood policy
may be relied upon to continue.

Toads Prefer Main Street.

One evening last week number OF
young men. for sake of little amuse-
ment, secured box and began at the
corner Of Fifth and Main streets and
gathered up all the toads they could
find on Main street down to the corner
Of Main and Fourth streets. They
gathered In about four dozen. After
exhibiting the toads at several hotels,
the toad-catchers carried the amphibias
into the Gordon alley, back Of Hotel
Belnap, and dumped them out Of the
box. The toads didn't propose to re-
main in back alley and it was not long
until they came hopping ont on to
Main street again and seated themselves
in front of the First National bank and
Hotel Belnap to watch the people pass
by and to wink at stray bugs that came
too close to them.

Under the existing laws in our bor-
Ough, when persons have been arrested
for lighting, being drunk or some other
disorderly conduct on the streets,
they are fined certain amount
and if they cannot pay the fine they
are locked up for forty-eight hours and
are fed at the borough's expense. We
think that council should change that
and make the sentence five days and
then compel the prisoner to work on
the streets and thus pay his fine. The
way it is now the borough is at an cx-

At each tick of the clock some soul in
this broad land is ushered into the pres
ence of the Great Judge, and some
home is saddened as result therefrOm.
The Reaper Death is no respector of
persons the just, the unjust, the rich,
the poor. the old and young, all alike are
subject to the angel messengers sum-
mons TO cross the River Death. Ever
and anon new made graves can be seen
in the ''silent cities" and hearts are left
lacerated and bleeding because loved
one has gone out from the earthly home
never more to return. The tolling Of
bells and the oft witnessed scene of a
funeral procession only seem to impress
comparatively few that the time will
come when they too will bid farewell to
earthly scenes, for the vast multitudes
continue to indulge in the sins of this
world. that do not make for everlasting
peace, just as If they never expected to
''go through the valley and shadow of
DEATH" AS we SOW so shall we reap.
Every man is sure to meet and be con-
quered by death. The building of a noble
character should be the aim of every
life, and no man can build truly noble
character unless he be christian.
Profanity, drunkenness, prevarication,
dishonesty and sensualness are not the
kind of material that Is used in building
noble characters.
