And made this innocent reply:
To cook like her I'll surely try;
But and her look was very sly

Sent up to me this very night

Since unto Dorothy I said

About how mother used to bake.
But let me say. twixt you and !,

I've seen her unto me draw nigh.
And with glitter in her eye
Say unto me: II want hat.

RURAL DELIVERY.


The carriers Will be Started BY no.
Yember First Several Routes Will
be Established Others May Follow
later Morgantown Itself is to Have
Free Delivery Within Year.
Mr.. A. b, Smith of Washington,
u. G. is here to establish rural mail de-
livery from the Morgantown postotfice.
He arrived on Thursday morning and
was seen at the postotllee by repre-
sentative of this paper. He stated
that he was here TO look over the
ground and take steps to establish the
service. He has been In consultation
with DIR. Fitch all day and will short
" begin the work Of getting it start
ed.
The first OF November will see sew
eral routes established just how
many there will be and just where
they will run Is yet to be decided.
There will likely be one on the west
side and two on the east side but there
may be more and they may be arrang-
ed differently
Mr.. Smith stated that Morgantown
proper would have free delivery In a
year from now. The business OF the
office is growing very fast and 1t is
sure to come. For the present the
delivery to be started does not apply
to the town but only TO the people
living outside of the borough limits.
The carriers will start after the
morning mail and will cover routes of
from twelve TO sixteen miles getting
back some time in the afternoon.
There will be but one delivery day
Ali the farmers living along the roads
will have the mails brought 10 their
doors and those who live back off the
roads will put out boxes and their
mail will be left in these for them.
The various small postotfices on the
routes will suffer in the amount of
business that they do as the new plan
is much more convenient and every
where it is adopted the people take TO
it readily The increase in the amount
of mail handled Is very great and is
experienced every where the plan is
started.
The first rural service was put in
at Charles Town this state three years
ago and since then ii has been intro
duced all over the country 1t is still
being worked up and before very many
years every one who can be reached
| will get his mail delivered every day
Mr.. Smith has been busy ia this
section of the state for some time and
has recently established similar SER
vice at Fairmont and Warrington.

COACH YOsT.
A West yirginian Shows Kansans the
Way to PLAY.

The Topeka Capital, the leading
paper of Kansas, in its review of
football in Sundays edition, has
some words of deserved praise for
the Kansas University coach T. IL.
Yost says the Parkersburg Journal.
Parkersburg people are plenty who
remember Yost and his great work
with the w. v u. team here a few
years ago. Afterwards he resided
here for time, being engaged in
the oil business His friends all over
the state will be glad to learn how
he is progressing among the grass
hoppers. as the following clipping
from the Capital will show:
"To-day's game restores the con
fidence of university people in their
football prospects. Yost deserves a
liberal portion of credit for the
splendid form which was shown by
the team. The K u. line was almost
impregnable, even to the terrific
bucking OF Hughes and Bishop, the
| Washburn tackles. The back field
was fast and heady The interfer-
ence was as good or better than
played by Nebraska university last
year. And above all, Mr. Yost has
taught his men the valuable art OF
! team play Every man was in every
play, and the man with the ball was
backed up by every one else. The
whole team hurled itself upon the
chosen point of attack !"

RESPONDS TaRTLY.
Shafter Says That he Submitted the
Letter to Chadwick but that he had
Written it himself.

The following bearing on the Samp-
son Shafter incident as raised GOV
the address of Sampson at this place
on Chadwick Day is taken from the
Pittsburg Post:
General Shafter took his place
yesterday on the retired list as bri-
gadier general in the United States
army, having reached the age Of 81.
Either General Macarthur or Gen
eral Lawton, in the Philippines. will
take his rank. For the present Gen
eral Shafter retains his command in
California as a major general OF vol
nnteers. He responds very tartly
to the attempt of Admiral Sampson
to credit Captain Chadwick, of the
navy, with the credit of writing the
peremptory. letter that forced the
surrender of Toral at Santiago 1t
struck the average reader that the
claim of Sampson was rather far
fetched Shafter admits that he
showed the letter to Chadwick, but
merely for the purpose of putting
his own blunt language is more dip
lomatic phrase.
The matter is still creating very
extended comment and Chadwick
will probably gain much of the cred
it that has been given to Shafter be.
fore the facts in the case were
brought out. Sampson however is
getting some hot roasts out of the
matter The Washington Post of
Sunday shoots the gait into him
about it.

money but an envelope filed With

The victim of the game came To
the police with ii friend on Wednes-
day afternoon and stated he had
lost three hundred dollars by means
OF confidence came at the Franklin
Hotel. He gave description of the
men who had done him and the POI
! lice at once went on the hunt of the
swindlers
| 1t was afterwards found out that
the scoundrels left 5town by means
of team hired from Walter Hayes.
Pastorious was hired to drive the
team and one of the men hired it..
The other one met the team in South
Morgantown and got into it. They
were driven to Fairmont and the
real swindler got out In Palatine
| The other man took the team into
town and paid off the driver sending
him back.
The Fairmont police were notified
and Harry Pride started up last night
at midnight to head off the swindlers.
| They however got onto the eight six
teen train last night and left the
country. The FairmOnt police were
shadowing another party all this time
and did not know that their birds had
flown until they were out of danger
The fellow who was duped by this
game which is as old as the hills is
Charles Blair a native Of Green coun-
/ ty who lives just over the line out of
! this state. He was accompanied by a
young Shriver. They met the swind-
lers at the Franklin House by appoint
ment.
Blair was to give the swindlers
three hundred dollars for one thousand
in bogus money. In order to show
that he had the money he was asked
to place it in an envelope. This done
/ it was written on by the bunco steerer
and when it was blotted the trouble
was done. The. large blotter was
used. Instead of giving back the en-
velope with the money in it another
! was substituted.
This when opened contained waste
paper. Blair kept quiet but his
friend reported it to the police. The
1 former left for home Immediately.
The trains were watched but the
bunco men got out of town as told
above. 1t is certainly mystery how
men will bite on the old, moss grown
scheme of green goods but that they
will is attested every day in the year.
The victim as general thing deserves
no sympathy as he intends TO swindle
his friends with worthless money

WAS A FUGITIVE.
Brownsville Policeman Evading
Arrest While Here.
He has Nearly Killed Nan Down
There Br00ding Over this Trouble
Set Him off and Made Him Imagine
He had Killed One Here-WiIl be
Held to await Developments.

]
Another complication has arisen
in the case of Porter the Brownsville
policeman who gave himself up here
day or so ago saying that he was
murderer having killed man near
the Pump Station. He is likely to
be charged with having nearly
killed another man at Brownsville.
A telegram from that place is as
follows:
BROWNSVILLE, Pa, Oct 19.-Con
siderable excitement was caused
here few days ago by the shooting
of Frank Pastorius by j w Brock
enridge, while the latter was resist
ing arrest. The shooting occurred
near the home of Samuel Leonard
Breckenridge had paid visit to the
Leonard home during the latter's
absence, and when he returned a
lively time ensued. Policeman g.
n. Porter was called and he proceed
ed to arrest both men for creating a
| disturbance. Having more than he
could handle he deputized Frank
Pastorius to help him. breckenridge
pulled a revolver and fired number
of shots One entered Pastorius'
side and penetrated the body, lodg-
ing in his back. The ball was re-
moved by DR. Eastman, but the
wounded man is getting worse, and
may die at any time. Breckenridge
was placed under arrest and allowed
to go home for the night, but on the
arrival of District a ttorney w. E.
Grow, the case was pronounced un-
bailable, and the prisoner was jailed
at, Uniontown. Breckenridge is a
member OF the borough council.
A new phase of the case developed
when Officer Porter left town rather
suddenly and without saying where
he was going. 1t is said a more
thorough examination was made of
the injuries sustained by Pastorius,
and it was found his worst wounds
were caused by being hit with the
policeman's mace. A warrant has
been issued for his arrest, but he could
not be found. The Leonard woman
over whom, it is said, the trouble
started, has been jailed also. She
is charged with completely in the af
/ fair.
1t is now thought that brooding
over the fact that he was to blame
in large measure for the condition of
Pastorius and that he was fugitive
from the law set him off his base.
He has been taken home and turned
/ oycr to the authorities there and he
will be held to await developments.
1 liz case his victim dies he will be
amenable to the law unless his mind
remains in it's present state when he
will be sent to the asylum.
