gave orders for 10000 tons of steel
rails and $4,000 freight cars to be used
on existing lines.
Cameron county Republicans may
we'll feel proud of majorities given not

the state candidates.
Think, while you are yet young and
have earning ability, of the days when
you will be incapacitated from making
a living. They'll soon roll around.
1t is pleasing" to an editor to have
citizen who expects favors from his
paper to come into his sanctum with a
news item, written on stationery print
ed out of town.
The great comfort woman gets in
calling iu doctor is that she knows it
keeps all her neighbors at the window
watching his carriage to see how long
he stays.-New York Press.

Those people who laugh at China for
recalling Minister WI because he is too

The famous and picturesque Horse

road, near Altoona, is to be done away
with, although it will involve an ex-
penditure of over million dollars. 1t

The PRESS is always glad to hear from
its friends, When you go away on a
visit please write us letter telling of
your experiences. 1t is the thing to do,
for all who know you will be glad to
hear what you are doing and what you
are about. Send US fresh news-iust
drop card telling who is visiting you
and any happenings of interest to you
and yours.
DON'T ask the editor to rebuke every
evil in the town and community, but
when convinced that such duties need
attending to write an article to the
paper yourself and sign your name to
it for publication. The man who is too
big coward to thus express his opinion
is the very one who will stand on the
corner and talk loudly about the cow
ardice of the editor.

The man behind the plow is more in
dependent than the man behind the
counter. 1t is just as honorable, just
as dignified, to plow and plant, to milk
and NOW, as it is to tie up sugar or
measure kerosene, to hand down
spool of thread or put up package of
crackers. The farmer, who can envy
the merchant, the manufacturer, or the
town worker in general, has certainly
got wrong view of his own occupation
as we'll as of theirs.-N. Y. Farmer.
Jacob Lilley, of Muncy, proprietor
of a meat wagon, is suffering from the
results of singular injury received re-
Gently. He was working about his
wagon on the side which was equipped
with a large meat hook. The horse
started up suddenly and threw his
owner heavily against the wagon. Mr..
Lilley fell on the hook, which penetrat-
ed both the lower and upper lids of the
right eye, hanging him up as if he were
so much meat. For a moment he hung
in this position. Slowly the hook tore
its way through the flesh and then he
was liberated. Both lids were torn in
strips and the eyeball was so badly cut
that he will probably lose the sight of
the eye.
