Served Him Right.

Here is the latest story told by the
Kansas City Journal of a man who is too
stingy to take his home paper: "a man
who was too economical to take this
paper sent his little boy to borrow the
copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste
the boy ran over "a stand of bees and in
ten minutes looked like warty summer
squash. His cries reached his father,
who ran to his assistance, and falling to
notice barb wire fence, ran into that,
breaking it down, cutting handful OF
flesh from his anatomy and running a 81
pair of pants. The old COW took advan-
tage of the gap in the fence and got into
the cornfield, and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife
ran, upset a four-gallon churn full Of
sweet rich cream into basket of kittens,
drowning the whole flock. In the hurry
she dropped 81 set of false teeth. Tie
baby, left alone, crawled through the
spilled milk and into the. parlor running
bright new $50 carpet. During the ex-
element the oldest daughter ran away
with the hired man; the dog broke up II
setting hens and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four fine shirts"

More Bad News for Bryan.

I If there was nothing else to discourage
Colonel Bryan, the growing export bus
iness of this country would be sufficient
to keep him in cold sweat. The fiscal
year will end in June and our foreign
trade for April was so enormous and
unprecedented that there can be no
doubt now that the year will break all
records.
In the year in which Mr.. Bryan ran
for the presidency the April exports were
S7l, 100000. Last April they were SllS,-
926, ,5O7, or nearly SlS,OOO,OOO more than
when Mr.. Bryan proposed to save the
country with free silver. In the year
following the election of Grover Cleve.
land for the second time the April ex-
ports were only 59,S7S, OOO-scarcely more
than one-haifthe figures of this April.
The gain for this year is $4,000, 900 over
April ofa year ago, and S2O,O0O,0OO over
the highest previous record, April, 1898,
Nor can these startling figures give
much more comfort TO the Cleveland
Democrats than to the Bryanites, for just
as Bryan told us the country, foreign
trade and all, must go to the dogs unless
his party triumphed in the election four
years ago, so the Cleveland Democrats
declared that no matter what the Dingley
law did for this country it would surely
do two other things-it would kill oul
foreign trade and it would throw the
treasury into still deeper bankruptcy thar
where it had been placed by the Wilson
law. What has happened has been that
we have the largest foreign exports by
millions on millions that we ever had
and that the Government revenues poul
into the Treasury in such volume that the
Democrats are terrified at the hideous
surplus. ...
What force does Colonel Bryan think
his disproved silver arguments, fortified
with an anti-imperialism bugaboo, will
haye with the American people who elect
ed the Republican ticket in 1896, hoping
that business would improve and the
country prosper? The things for which
they voted in 1896 with hope are now facts
bigger and better facts than ever were
promised to them and than they evel
hoped for. Does Mr.. Bryan or does any
one conceive that the American people
would turn to Organism in their greatest
prosperity when they rejected it in their
direst adversely ?-Nel0 York Press.

Eli Berlin Post at East Hickory and
Whig Hill.

The memorial services at East Hickory
Sunday, May 9th. was we'll attended.
the discourse was delivered by Rev. Rich
of west Hickory, who was ably assisted
by Rev. McAninch of Tionesta.
Wednesday morning the rain was fall
ing and for time doubts were entertained
as to the success of the days services at
Wing Hill, but soon the doubts were
scattered with the clouds, and the friends
assembled with the old boys to dedicate
ouselves anew to the memory of our fall
len comrades the services at the cemetery
were all that could be desired. The choir
at Whig Hill never fails to do honor to
the day and to themselves; their selec-
tions were of the best and were perfectly
rendered, nothing could have been more
appropriate than the part rendered by
our friends that stirred our souls with
song.
Owing to the threatening rain clouds
we hurriedly returned to the grove and
partook of our we'll filled baskets, after
which we were welcomed in the church
for further services. After song by the
choir and prayer by DIR. Smith, Rev.
Felt, orator of the day, was introduced by
the marshall of the day. Conrad Felt
in his address dug deep and sailed high.
For more than an hour he elected the
closest attention of all present., often
bringing out soul-bursting amens from
the vast assembly. He dwelt mainly
upon the grandeur of our country and
the heroism of its defenders. In beauti-
full language he eulogized the women oi
our land as the greatest of heroes. To
this the G. A. R. responded with a long
and loud amen. At the conclusion OF
Conrad Feits address, the post band,
which had already done good service,
now struck up "Rally Round the Flag" !"
while patriotic emotion swept over the
assembly,
DR.. Smith gave an interesting talk OF
about five minutes duration which was
well received.

Mckinley as a Boy.

In accepting the monument of "Peace'
IN the Memorial Day exercises at Hag-
arstown, Md, Secretary Root used a
striking Illustration of heroic action
which, although Il is on the military rec
ords, is not generly known. In the
course of his speech the Seer etary said :
"Not only the men who fell at Antie-
tam, but the men who survived are to be
commemorated by this structure, for they
have waged that greater battle of civiliza-
ton and patriotism. We are not without
a conspicous illustration here to-day.
"On the second day of Antietanl, when
the Fedsral limo was hurled against Lees
right, an Ohio regiment was stationed by
the banks of the creek not far TO the left
of the bridge upon which was centered
Lees terrible fire of shot and shell, and
away to the rear with the supply wagon
was commesary sergeant, boy of is,
who, Ms the days and hours wore away, re-
membered that the men of his regiment
would be fainting and weary for the food
left in his charge behind. r.r
"And then the boy without orders,
compelled by no soldiers duty, loaded
his wagon, called tor volunteer drivers,
and on from the rear to the front, through
the showers of shot and shell, braving
death every instant, brought to the front
and to the fainting soldiers of his regi-
ment the re-inforcemonts of food and
strength that enabeled them to go on
with the conflict till the end. (Applause.l
"The regiment was the Twenty-third
Ohio, its colonel was Rutherford b.
Hayes, afterward the nineteenth Presi-
dent of the United States, (Applause),
and upon that field of battle the colonel
and future President recommended for
commission that boy of is for gallentry
in action, and the commission came.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflsned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored 10 its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
tiOn of the mucous surfaces.

THE Supreme Court has reversed the
dicision of the Dauphin county court on
the proposed amendments to the consti-
tuition of the State passed by the last
Legislature and vetoed by Gov. Stone.
The opinion was prepared by Chief JUS
tice Green, and the ameu1ment proposed
ballot reform and personal registration in
cities. The Governor says there is yet
time TO advertise the proposed amend
ment, and it will be done. He said:
81 vetoed the Two constitutional amend
ments because, first, / was advised by
competent lawyers that the constitution
vested the right in me TO veto them, in
which advice / concurred; and second,
because was opposed to the amend
ments, which are, in my oppinion, not
in the direction of reform but i'm the OPP
posite direction. No harm has been
done. however. There is yet time to adj
vertise for the coming November election
and under direction Of the Supreme
Court No time has been lost. The
order Of the court will be promptly
obeyedn
Tho amendments must be favorably
acted upon by the next legislature be
fore vote can be had npon their adop-
ton, which will not be until a year
from next November.

The Census Enumeration.


One of the things with which each emu
merator will be supplied is book of 81
pages containing the census law and de-
failing its rights, privaleges and duties.
The enumerator is told he has the right
to enter every dwelling house, institu-
tion and manufacturing establishment in
his district, while in the performance of
his duty as census taker. He is cautiontd d
not to lose his temper or obtrude need
lessly upon people the compulsory fea-
ture OF the enumerator. However, when
people refuse to give the desired infor-
nation he is to report the matter to his
superiors and allow them to adjust the
difficulty. The enumerator is told, fur
ther, that he must consider all informa-
ton given him as confidential, and that
if he divulges any such information he
renders himself liable to a fine of $500.
Another serious thing brought to his at
tention is fine of $500 and two years inn
prisonment for wilfully falsiiying re-
turns.

McKlnley's Latest Portrait.

A short time ago President Mckinley
sat for a photograph which he has pro-
nounced the best ever secured. A copy
of this portrait in colors, with facsimile
of the Presidents signature, on each pic
ture, will be given free with every copy
of the great Philadelphia Sunday Press
next Sunday, June 10. 1t is a souvenir
everyone is certain to prize, both because
of its merit as a work of art and its
timelness, in view of the fact that Nc
Kinley is certain to be renominated at the
national convention week after next.
The size OF the picture is IA by 20 inches,
and everyone will be perfect. The de-
mand will be great; hence it will be well
to order next Sundays Press early.

THE Omaha World Herald was Mr.
Bryans personal organ in 1896, and dur
ing that campaign it made the prophecy
daily that in the event of McKinley's
election the depression and distress
among the working classes would be
widespread. The best proof of the falsity
Of this prophecy is found on the want
pages of the World Herald. The last is
sue at hand contains the advertisement
Of two females and seven males who
want situations, while on the same page
the "hclp wanted advertisements ask
for lO7 females and us males. This is in
addition TO the "agents wanted" and
does not include the advertisement for
1000 men for railroad work. The calsm-
ity prophecy was a failure in Mr.. Bryan's
own Stete, as 1t was elsewhere.

RECORDS of the postoflice department
show that the amount of mail matter of
all classes in the United States in 1899,
weighed 1,565, SOS pounds, This was
enough to fill 1912 cars with f eight.
This record was the largest in the history
of this country, and was due TO the re-
markable prosperity and unprecedented
business activity now existing. In dull
Democratic times the business of the
postoflice always declines.

time met, through his loyalty to Gen.
Grant, his first political defeat. Dur
ing the Grant-Greeley campaign his
district-known as the Hudson river
district-contained many republicans
who sympathized with Greeley, and
Mr.. Ketcham was notified that if he
would not push the canvass for Grant
he would be reelected. This propo-
sition was firmly refused by Mr..
Ketcham, who said that he would win
or lose with Grant. The result was
the election of the democratic candi-
date.
Gen. Grant knew of the fight and
the motives underlying, and in 1874 he
appointed Gen. Ketcham commissioner
of the District Of Columbia, and he
served in that office until 1877, when
he resigned to reenter congress. Mr..
Ketcham's career in the district COM
missionership was highly creditable
to him. During his incumbency in Of
flee the district bonds. which had been
at discount, rose to par value.
Mr.. Ketcham was reelected to the
Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh, Forty
eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty -f1rst
and Fifty-second congresses, when he
retired to recuperate his health. He
came back in the Fifty-ffth and Fifty
sixth congresses, and, as stated, has
been renominated as the republican
candidate in the Eighteenth New York
district for the next congress.
Mr.. Ketcham never makes a speech

stituents, however, and is beloved
throughout his district. He is a man
Of strong charitable impulses, which
be gratifies, and numbers his friends
among the poorer people of his dis
trict as well as among the rich. Mr..
Ketcham is regarded as a man of su-
perior political judgment and is con-
suited in the party councils at the cap
itol. He is a constant attendant upon
the sessions of the house and Is a IA
miliar figure about the departments,
where he looks after the interests of
his constituents.
