The Fake Advertiser.

He has be, II here, has reaped not
few sht kels from too con6ding business
men, and has lett town with his profits,
leaving behind him only bundle OF adj
vertising material which remains undis-
tributed, and which would be of no par,
ticular use to anybody if it was distri-
buted.
This advertiser purported to provide
in connection with his advertising
scheme, telephone directory, showing
the subscr ibers. names and numbers. The
list he put into his pamphlet was not an
authorized or accurate one, and is in no
sense as conveni,nt and durable as the
card provided by the local telephone
manag ment.
1t seems to be another case of over
conf fence in a stranger, and the useless
investment of C tsh. We might incident
ally suggest that the regular channels of
advertising do not involve such perils as
Turk in these Jobs put up by strangers
who want to make dollar quickly and
easily.

and "Au fond des brulants abimes. !"
In Philie's Liberia" harmonised, P.

A Geological Curiosity.

DR.. William A. Chase of Morrisville.
brought from CRANKY and placed in the
Museum last week, piece of a granite
boulder which has attracted good deal
OF attention and been the source of con
siderable conjecture among local geolo-
gists. The stone has in it what appears
to be two human footprints, and another
iudentation almost the exact shape OF
horses hoo. The footprints are about
seven inches long both the same size,
and both represent the lett foot. The
prints point in different directions the
position OF one beng the exact reverse of
the other. 1t is stated that the rock
from which this pic was qua RED, has
bten curiosity in Cranky Tor a century.
1t is granite boulder weighing several
tons, situated one and one-half miles
from Ga Ilup's Mills, on farm owned by
Miss Lila M. and Miss Matte Buzzell.
The boulder is on the eastern slope of
the bip hest hill in the vicinity. This land
was cleared and the stone discovered in
1900 by Joseph Gleason, and care has
! always been TAKEN that the curiosity
should not be deiaced. The farm was
bought few years later by Mr. Buzzell,
grandfather OF the present owners and it
has been in the family ever since. The
top of the boulder is oval in shape and is
about eight inches above the ground
The piece which was brough; here is
about II inches square. 1t was quarried
by DR.. Chase and Joshua Stevens Of Vic
tory and Loaned TO the Museum by the
Misses Bnzzell Just what the value o.
the specimen NAV be, from a geological
standpoint, would be hard to say. but as
curiosity it is decidedly interesting. Il
will doubtless remain at the Museum fol
some time.

thing in the name to Indicate such q
very strong comedy-drama or such an
interesting story typifsing high and
low life in New York. 1t is the tale
of a wait, associated in her early life
with gamblers who is brought into
good society and is beloved in her
early life by the dishonored son of a
New York capitalist, and later by an
adopted son who marries her. The
dishonored son robs $4,000 from his
father and murders him. She finds
him in his dying moments, when he
whispers his son committed the deed.
The dishonored son is unknown to hes
except as a companion in her early
days, and she thinks it her husband,
but to shield him, does not protest
against the web of circumstantial evil
dence against her until all is cleared
up by an old friend from the country.
The author has evidently designed
the play to suit all classes with the
first act in a New York mansion, the
second in a most realistic presentation
of a den in the slums, and then re-
turning to the home of the chief char
acters of the story.
