No Cause For Anger.

A brethnr editor who has
evidently been wrestling with his
delinquents, very sensibly says:
"No sensible man should Tget
angry because newspaper man
duns him for money. A dun is
not an impeachment of a subscri-
ber's integrity, but is the out.
cropping of the publishers neces.
slty. For instance a thousand
men owe from one to four dollars.

is honestly due, the subscriber
should thank the editor for wait
ing on him patiently and pay up

MaSqueraded as a Man.
Death Reveals tho Sex of q Farm
Hand Two Children Born to
the Supposed Wife-A Mys>
terious Case.

Canandaigua, N. Y, March %.
A person W ho was known here
for five years as William Howard
died suddenly Wednesday light,
and an autopsy showed that the
supposed man was a woman.
/ Howard, who was about SO years
old, and who was employed as a
farm hand, came here five years
ago with a woman, who was
known as Mrs. Howard. Two
children were born to the suppos.
ed wife.
The dead woman worked for
farmers in the nelghborhood and
those most intimately acquainted
with the family never had tho
slightest suspicion that she was
not man. The cause of the
woman's death is a mystery.
Wednesday night she took two
tablets for throat affection and
was dead in ten minutes. The
medicine was sent from Wells-
VILE, this State, where relatives
reside. The authorities are COM
pletely nysti6sd as to all matters
touching upon the woman's life.
They do not even know her right
name. Two men, claiming to be
halfobrothers, attended the funer
al, but refused to divulgs any in
formation. An inquest is to be
held and some light may then be
thrown upon the strange case.
1t developed tonight that the
eldest of the Howard children was
an adopted one; that the person
known here as VIM G. Howard
was Alice M. Howard and that
she went through a marriage cere-
mony in 1892 with Edith D.
Yere.

Though the cross is hard TO bear.

On this earth below.
Yet we hope to meet thee
On that shining shore,
And In heaven 10 greet thee,
Where parting will be no more.

A CARD OF THANKS

Mr.. EDIToR:-If you will give
me space in your valuable columns,
l will use this method to express
my thanks and gratitude to my
friends and neightbors for their
kindness to me during the recent
illness of my wife and daughter.
l am sure 1 have their sympathies
on account of the loss of nv wife,
whose death was recently noted
In your columns; and also nv
Joy at the recovery of my daugh
ter, who was at the same time
afflicted with pneumonia, and who
came SO near dying that it took
the presence, practice and perse-
verance Of two skilled physicians,
namely, DR.. j. w. Perry and
DIR. f. @. Hinson, to rescue her
from deaths iron grasp. In
conclusion want to assure the
dsctors that am very thankful
to them for their faithfulness ia
attending to my loved ones. I
am satisfied that all was done that
human hands and medical skill
could do. 1t is fact we'll known
that when God calls frail humanity
must stand in silent awe and be-
held the wonders Of His majestic
power. With thanks to allmv
friends and to you, Mr.. Editor.
l am truly yours,
j. F: M. Estridgs.

When the Engine Rolled Into Peru.

Brass bands and 5000 people greet
ed the first c., r. & NJ. train into
Peru Sunday. Geographic item.
When the earliest train of the O., R. & NJ.
Rolled into the town of Peru,
Its stridulous loot Housed the folks ID suci
jay
They didn't know just what to do.
En- masse they turned out, with sky-rend-
ing shout,
With speeches and cheers not few;
You d think the event was boom Heaven
sent
When the engine rolled into Peru.
Last, summer when street cars appeared IL
the town.
II reused them to joy so intense
That babies in arms toddled down to the
road
And roasted by scores on the fence
Zach grandsire and dame did exactly the
same
The cars had time getting through
But the joy they felt then was about doubled
Tne engine rolled into Peru,
II Stephenson's ghost had looked down on
the scene,
Recalling his advent to fame
And the way thefolks turned out when the
first trip was made,
He'd declare that times were the same;
The oldest inhabitants dates have been
changed
He rackons from periods new
The first: When the 'lectric kyars run" and
the next:

Elijah Stansbury denies that he
encountered the street adjacent to his
premises in South Plymouth to the
full extent that was reported to the
common council some weeks ago and
caused that body to instruct the city
marshall to have cleaned it up. The
disclaimer comes rather late but Mr..
Stansbury is entitled to all the credit
it will give him. Whatever the facts
may have been at that time there
certainly is no ground for complaint
now SO far as his use of the street is
concerned.

A BRIDES NARROW ESCAPE
How Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Corbaley
Eluded a Rice Shower.

Following the Corbaley-Y ockey
wedding New Years day prodigious
efforts were made by the young friends
of the happy pair to give them a fit
ting farewell for their wedding Jour-
ney, but failure perched upon the
banners of the crowd. 1t had been
given out that Mr.. and Mrs. Corbaley
were to take the Lake Erie train in
the evening for indianapolis, but the
young folks suspected that an effort
would be made % elude them and
spies were set abort the house to
watch the movements of the bridal
party.
The couple disappeared. The hour
for departure approached. The crowd,
with expectation keyed to the highest
pitch, stood on the front lawn won
dering if they had been foiled. At
the proper psychological moment a
friend, who was in the secret, called
eXcitedly from the rear of the house,
"Here they are, and the whole gang
rushed frantically to the back yard,
while carriage, unperceived, drove
up from up somewhere, Mr.. and Mrs.
Corbaley hastily entered it and were
driven rapidly away.
1t was observed, however, and the
crowd made for the station bearing
their load of rice, old shoes and comic
banners. The train arrived, was
searched and departed and the in
tended victims were nowhere to be
found and were not again seen in
Plymouth. 1t was clean escape very
neatly effected.
1t developed later that they had
taken the north-bound train and gone
to Tyner as the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. MyrOn Chase, passing through
Plymouth afterward en- route to In
dianapolis.

Small Railway Wreck.

A serious accident was narrowly
averted Saturday at the railroad cross
ing when local freight on the Pennsyl-
vania backed into the southbound noon
passenger train on the Vandalia. The
Vandalia train had the right of way
at the crossing and was getting up
speed after stopping for the signal.
The freight was backing slowly and
did not stop in time to prevent col
lision. One passenger coach was bad
ly damaged and several freight cars
were derailed and broken but nc one
and the Vandalia train proceeded.

Subconscious Influence.

Advertising is valuable in two dis
tinct ways. 1t has a direct and i'm
mediate effect on trade and brings
prompt results, but in addition to this
temporary advantage it has an uncon-
scious or subconsclous influence on the
readers which keeps the advertisers
name fresh in their minds and forms
their opinions of him. This indirect
effect is really the more valuable of
the two because it is permanent, pro-
vided the advertiser makes it so. The
occasional advertiser and the one who
drops out in slack season loses the
best return from his Investment Oc-
casional advertising brings some trade,
but persistent advertising brings
more and, what is better, holds it.

the new year, and Marmaduke and /
will be present to assist her, while
friends drop in to wish us much JOY.
You know, dear. that it is horrible

You must wish her JOY. while as for
the groom-to-be, you must congratu-
late him to the extent of your vocabu-
larry
There is TO be an engagement party,
for mamma believes in having things
thoroughly up to the year, and, at the
party, | am to wear betrothal gown.
1t is quite dream in true blue. trim

colors, pink. The pink is in shape of
a drop skirt aud a silk waist, over
which the true blue chiffon skirt and
waist will show very daintily. / shall
be quite a study in tie pastel colors.
