The Parson Was Mixed.

The minister had reached the critical
point in his missionary" sermon. He
had finished his frstlies and secondlies,
and with one neat figure would link
them to an impassioned appeal that
would strike his congregations hearts,
and make their rocks flow like water.
If" he acclaimed, "it has truly been
said that he who makes two glades OF
brass to grow where one"
The puzzled look on the face OF a
deaf old member in front pew led him
to pause and repeat:
THAT he is benefactor who makes
two grades Of blass-"
Smiles throughout the house, and his
own sense showed him there was
something wrong, but with an attempt
at lightness, he said airly:
"As I meant, two brades Of glass"
The choir was now keen-eared, and
the pastor felt as II he had met Dew
ey. So he shouted. 1.-TWO blods OF
grace"
Then the senior deacon had pity on
him and arose. "My brethren" he
spoke, "our pastor has been upset by
the intensity of his emotions, and has
tripped on two blades Of grass"

The cause of the decline in the
oil markets is stated in a dispatch
from Oil City, thus: "The United
States consul at Batoum, Russia,
reports new we'll in that district
that is flowing at the rate OF 10000
barrels per day, making the total
production of Russian oil about
200, 900 barrels per day. AS re-
suit of this bearish news refined
oil was reduced 10 points
per gallon and the credit balance
market for Pennsylvania crude
dropped &c to 1.I6 per barrel.
The fact is the Standard Oil
company believes that it owns or
controls the whole world as well as
the oil markets of the world and
reduced oil prices simply because it
wanted to. Contracts to furnish
refined oil at the higher prices
have been made for months ahead
and the lower the prices at which
crude oil can be purchased the
greater will be the profits of the
Standard monopoly. Now, what
are the producers going to do about
it-sell their oil on the market for
whatever they can get, or hold it
and pay storage until they are
obliged to sell at any price?
The bureau OF statistics at Wash
ington reports the total exports of
petroleum and its products in Octo.
Der at 7e,524,Sa7 gallons, valued at
S4,643,14S, showing a decrease
from the September figures OF 81
474,777 gallons in amount and
S134,87S in value, and as compared
with October, 1897, one year ago, a
decline of S,3I8,592 gallons in
amount and $317,o8 in value.
Petroleum exports for October
were distributed as follows:

A Sure Sign Of Group.

Hoarseness in a child that Is sub
iect to Group is a sure indication oil
the approach of the disease. II
Chamberlain's Cough remedy is
given as soon as the child becomes
hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough has appeared, it will prevent
the attack. Many mothers who
have croupy children always keep
this remedy at hand and find that
it saves them mitch trouble and
worry. 1t can always be depended
upon and is pleasant to take. Fol-
aale by c. w. Grier, druggist.

From New zealand.

Reefton, New Zealand, Nov. 23, 'o6.
am very much pleased to state
that since l took the agency of
Chamberlain's medicines the sale
has been very large, more especially
of the cough remedy. In two years
1 have sold more of this particular
remedy than OF all other makes for
the previous FIVE years. AS to its
efficacy. I have been informed by
scores of persons O. the good re-
suits they have received from it,
ank know its value from the use of
it in my own household. 1t is so
pleasant to take that we have to
place the bottle beyond the reach of
the children.

SIiphtly Mixed.

It occurred the other night and has
caused many a laugh. One Of the
boys in the crowd is fiend about
Shakespeare, and thinks everything
In the world that was worth saying
was said by the bard of Avon.
Another of the boys is a crank on
the subject of the "Rubaiyat" Of
Omar Khayyam. The other fellow
dotes on Laura Jean Libbey and other
immortal authors of that class.
The three of them were out for Q
time" 1t was about o'clock in the
morning, and getting out of the hack
the Omar fiend, pointing, pointing his
finger at the hack driver, commenced
~ Omar:
make the most of what we
spend"
-, next day the Shakespeare crank
accused him of spouting shakespeare
at hack drivers, and the Libbey man
silently acquiesced, thinking thereby
to display his knowledge of things

The Best Plaster.

A piece Of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound
on to the affected parts is superior
to any plaster. When troubled
with pain In the chest or side, or
lame back, give it trial. You

with the prompt relief which it af-
lords. Pain Balm is also a certain
cure for rheumatism. For sale by

THE INITIAL PRODUCTION
OF a Social Organization With an
Enigmatical Problem.

VI q SoSA"A W -
Enigmatical Problem.
The 3. G. club, very recent So
cial organization, held its initial re-
ception last evening with the Misses
Aileen and Eva Raster, of the
south side. If the first meeting of
the club can be taken as a criterion
for the future, social prestige for the
young people is certain to eyentu-
ate.
The appellation given the club is
an enigma to all but certain few
who are in the secret, and Incl
dental with the social functions a
serious study is made as to the sig
nifcance of the title.
The Misses Raster proved model
hostesses and had the pleasure of
seeing all their guests wei. en- ter
tanned. The program for the
evenings amusement was along
the established lines, and was
rounded out by a collation. that was
the acme Of culinary art. The en-
tertainers and entertained are nat
urally much gratifed over the sue
cess of the first reception.
The gentlemen present were
Messrs. Chas. Ware, Joe Miller,
Roscoe Snedeker, Joe Mckinley,
Ed Riggall, Harold Gruber and Be
Raster. The ladies were the Misses
Maud Courtney, Nellie Taylor, Jen-
ME Cutting, Blanche Emery, Rose
Kennedy, Edith Ware, Gertrude
Gruber, Maggie Mckinley, Miss
Bailey and the Misses Raster.

Mr.. D. A. Bartlett, of the firm o
Bartlett & Stancliff, did the honors
last evening at a banquet given the
directors of the Farmers and Pro
ducers' Bank. We understand the
occasion was the result indirectly Of
an election bet, but anyway, it was
a very pleasant affair and heartily
enjoyed by the ten gentlemen who
were present.
The party banqueted at the
restaurant of J. S. Hockinberry on
Diamond street, and the superior
catering ability of this gentleman
and his, wife was never better
shown than at this time. The sup
per was comprised mainly of oyster
delicacies, and the menu contained
everything that the bivalves can be
made into.
The table was lastly arranged,
and frightened with many bouquets
of chrysanthemums. Each gentle
man received one of these flowers
for a boutonniere upon leaving.
Social jest and lively repartee en-
livened the social board and made
a fine relish for the appetizing re-
past. Itwas one OF those happy
events THAT cement the bonds OF
friendship and conduce toward gen
eral good fellowship.
Those present. were: Messers.

Stephen Market.
H. E. Stephen, the enterprising
market man on Wells street, has an
imitation of a quarter of beef hang.
ing in front of his store, which de.
ceives the eyes of all who pass that
way. 1t is manufactured out of paper
macha, and is perfect piece Of
work.
1t is very amusing to overhear
the words of admiration when the
beef is espied, and the subsequent
blank facial expressions when close
examination reveals the deception.
1t is only by a very close scrutiny
that the truth is learned, so clever,
ly has the work been done.
