The girl who gives way to desire TO
CAD about the streets and cultivate the
acquaintance of young men who act the
simpering simpleton is laying the foun-
dation for a useless after life. Ten to one
after she is married she will develope
into slatternly gossip, if no greater mis-
fortune befals her. 1t is the girl of good
sound sense, the girl that loves home and
helps mother that wins the model hus-
band and becomes an ornament to wo-
manhood. The girl that does this and
devOtes some of her time to reading tries
to win the esteem of everybody, while
the gadding street ornament wins the ad-
worth having.-Er.
The Commissioners have purchased
a second team for work at the poor farm.
1t is very handsome span of dapple
grays, and was bought from Andy Car
son of Neilltown. The sire of this fine
team is "Count Rotreau," owned by Sam.
Il. Carson of Stewards Run. The Com
missioners have contracted for the win
ter's accumulation Of manure at the Ho-
tel Agnew stables at so much per load.
When the team backed up and bauled
away the first load Mr.. Agnew wanted to
rue bargain, hut the Commissioners had
evidently "farmed it, before. The wagon
bed was about "a feet long with immense
side boards, and if the roads keep dry the
teamsters think they can take away the
fertilizer in about four loads.
The best authors and artists have
been hard at work preparing two mag
nificeut souvenir numbers of the Phila-
delphia Sunday Press, which will be pub
lished on April % and 3d. The former
will be Grant Day souvenir and the lat
ter Dewey Day edition. The articles
and illustrations in both will be appro-
pirate to the occasion and most of the
matter has been secured from special
sources and has never before been pub
lished, either in newspaper or maya
zine. Superb color pages will add to the
artistic beauty of the both editions. The
front page of the Grant number shows
the splendid monument which will be
dedicated by President Mckinley in
Philadelphia, and the front page of the
Dewey number is a reproduction of
magnificent painting on the Olympia,
showing him as he looks to-day. Be sure
TO get both these editions. which will be
the handsomest ever issued by news
paper.
