A man who wishes TO pose as a gentle
man should never even think Of making
/ improper advances to a young girl, tenn
porarily in his charge We admire the
wife who combs down the so called gentle
man In good style for his unbecoming
actions as much as we detest his unmanly
effort to throw the burden of fault upon
the innocent girl.

The Hudson River long distance tele-
phone company is doing some very neat
work in Port Jervis. In the populous
parts of town they use n rather short, but
very stout pole upon which they string a
half inch wire cable. The telephone wires
arc perfectly insulated punched together
and encased In copper tube which Is sus-
pended from the poles, and wire cable
above referred to. This method while
probably more expensive, presents the
least obstacle to fighting fires, the least
chance of contact with live electric light
or trolly wires, not so liable to be broken
| by sleet or storms, and must eventually
entail minimum of expense in after care

who wish to know where those who move
are located the coming year.
