A damsel in one of the interior towns
having often read how Bibles had stop
ped bullets in battle gave one to her de-
parted soldier lover. The editor of the
local paper must have been a jealous
rival, for he advised the recipient to car
ry the book in his hip pocket.
Large lot of working-pants 69c, 75c,
90c, at Miles & Armstrong;. 1t
The cost of Santiago was, to our Army,
246 killed, 1854 wounded and "a missing.
1t was the next to the strongest city in
Cuba, and was won by infantry and dis
mounted cavalry, practically without ar
tillery. The American soldier may well
feel proud of his record at Santiago.
Large lot carpet samples for rugs 39c

The Commiss oner of Internal Reve
nue. has ruled that orders issued by
county commissioners on the county
treasurer need not be stamped. But if
the latter officer pays the order with
check on the bank the check must be
stamped the same as other checks.
Shirts that keep you cool and will not
fade, at Miles & Armstrong;. II
When people stop to think that every
word in the cabled dispatches from San
tiago costs the papers l6 cents for trans
mission alone, with equally heavy ex-
penditrres for dispatch boats, etc., they
can realize that it costs money to issue
first-class paper. The news from the
Philippines cost Sl.46 per word.
Hats at your own price at Miles &
Armstrong;. 1t
Atpresent the express companies re-
quire the shipper to pay the one-cent
stamp that was imposed by the war reve-
nue. bill. The Merchants Association of
New York have brought case in the
courts of that city to obtain decision as
to which party should affix the stamp.
Both sides have agreed to abide by the
decision.

The banner crop of wheat harvested in
Pennsylvania this year was that at the
experimental farm, State College. Gen
eral Superintendent W. G. Patterson
harvested from a field of ten acres %
loads of wheat, or total of 759 dozen
sheaves, an average OF 753 dozen to the
bushel of grain, the yield per acre of the
field would be about So bushels. This is
the highest average yield recorded for
some years.

An exchange prints the following curl
GUS item Tie string about yard long
to common door key, then take the key
in the right hand and hold 1t so that the
string will clear the floor four or five
inches. you can hold the key steady
enough it will begin to swing back and
forth in strait line. Let another person
take his left hand in his, and the motion
of the key will change from the pendu-
lum like swing to a circular swing. If
third person will place his hand on the
shoulder of the second person, the key
will stop. Try it, and explain it il you
can.
The Pennsylvania division of the
League of American Wheelman offers
reward of $25 for the arrest and convic-
ton of any person who steals the bicycle
Off any member of the organization re-
siding in the State. The division officials
have just been called upon to pay the
first reward under this offer. w. ]. Ben
nett, of Wilkesbarre, secured the amount
he having captured the thief who stole
wheel belonging to DIR. G sist, of the same
city. AS soon as il was known that the
wheel was stolen, and that the League
would pay reward for the thief, Bennett
started to work with the above results,
and the consequence is that the owner
had his property restored without cost to
himself. This is another of the great ad-
vantages of membership in the League,
and one that will be heartily appreciated
when a machine is stolen.
An exchange has discovered that peo-
pie do not drink enough wator. 1t is
strange, says the paper, that the thing
that has made springs and other resorts
famous has never been applied to every
day life. The invalids who visit those
places drink all the water they can hold
and think all the good results come from
some OF its properties. Sheer nonsense !
