IT'S SELECTION MADE AN EASY MAT
TER IF THE ADVICE BE TAKEN.
In these days of fast presses and cheap
methods of printing, great deal of
worthless reading matter and not lit
tie that is positively harmful is thrust
upon the attention of the public. This
is true of books and true of newspapers
But there are standards for both, set by
a discriminating public. That standard
is set very high in Pennsylvania where
schoolhouses abound and the reading
habit is strongly developed.
For almost ia years the standard
newspaper of Western Pennsylvania has
been the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Its name is household word, and it Is
household favorite 1t contains moth
ing unclean and is thoroughly up to
date and reliable 1t aims to present
facts and not sensations; its mission is
the diffusion of information, and it
never deviates from that course. 1t
hasEgained new friends every year of
its long life and retained old ones by
presenting the news in wholesome, at
tractiye shape. 1t gives every day al
the news of the world that is wor tn
printing or reading. 1t is the recogn IL
ed Pittsburg authority in commercial
anc financial matters, but it is as much
the farmers paper as the bankers OF
the merchants; as much the miner S
and mechanics as the millionaire's, foI
| il watches for news of interest to all
the people. 1t has won popular respect
because it is trustworthv 1t costs onl J
$3a year for the Daily, or 81 for tn,
| the Weekly.

An Afflicted Family.

A fatal accident occurred at Pittsburg
on Thursday. whereby a former well
known Brady's Bend boy lost his life.
Charles G.. Hodges, was working al
some iron work in Jones and Laugh
lin s mill, when he fell from the scaffold
ing to the ground, distance of 40 feet
receiving terrible injuries from which
he died the same evening at I O'Clock,
eight hours later. He was removed to
the home of his mother Mrs Mary
Hodges, S. s. Pittsburg, but never re-
gained consciousness. Funeral services
were held at the late residence on Satur-
day evening and the remains brought to
East Brady on the II o'clock train Sun
day morning and buried by the side of
his father and four brothers and sisters
Trouble and sorrow seems to be the
lot of this broken family. For a num-
Der of years they lived at Bradys Bend
where 10 children where born to Mr..
and Mrs Hodges. One died at the place
before the family moved to Petrolia
Here the father was stricken and died.
and then during an epidemic of dipth-
eria at their new home three more were
taken away at almost the same time
1t wa not long after these bereavements
hefor re another member of the family
was removed and now the main support
of the widowed mother met sudden
and terrible death. Deceased was aged
about 20 years, and an exemplary young
man who had made many friends in this
section as well as his home town. The
following relatives and friends attended
the funeral: Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Davis,
Jr. and son, Flick, Butler Co; John
Schott wife and daughter Kittie Leech
burg; Robert Wiltield and daughter
Jennie and husband, Pittsburg; Mr..
and Mrs. VIM Leonard, Pittsburg; H.
