A Hot Roast,

A western paper speaks of things
generally, and this is one of them: We
are living in an age of misrepresenta
tion. Villages are called towns and
towns are called cities. Common
schools are called high schools, high
schools called colleges and colleges
called universities. Every man with a
few thousand dollars is called capital
ist and capitalists are called trust mag
mates. Every thirty cent politician is
called leading public man and lead.
ing public men are called statesmen.
Every thing turned out of the medical
college mill is called doctor and ordi-
nary doctors are called specialists.
Every fifteen cent dudelet around town
is called promising yound man,
while the fact is he isn't worth fifteen
cents in dog meat, and every old
codger, is called 'one of our most val
liable citizens when in fact the COM
munity would be much better off with
out him..

Three saw mills are in operation with
total daily capacity of 10000 feet Of
lumber. He finds conditions very
different from the East. Rent is from
three to ten times higher; servant
girls get S25 per mouth; 15 cents buys
cigar inferior to our 2 for 5 cent
cigars; luxuries are luxuries indeed,
while wages, clothing and the native
products of the soil compare favorably
with eastern standards. Mr.. III. will

Many merchants make the mistake o
cutting down their advertising or order
ing it out altogether, after the holidays.
We believe that this is a short-sighted
policy, and there the rest results came
to the business man who advertises out
of season as we'll as in. Christmas has
come and gone and the rush incident
thereto is over, but the public has not
stopped buying. Bargains are just as
attractive now as before the holidays,

ing is concerned. .-Titusville Herald.

B. & S. Railroad is the Wabash Link

b. 6 S. Railroad is the Wabash Link.
The Dubois Searchlight states that 1t
has been 80 fortunate as to get posses
sion of inside information as to the col.
ossal interest that is working in cordial
harmony with the Goodyears In their
extensive railroad building now going
on and with moro that is to be COM
menced in the near future.
1t may then be positively stated that
the interest which is now moving for
ward in conjunction with the Buffalo
q Susquehanna is the great Wabash or
Gould system. The plans which will
certainly be carried to completion en-
brace first the extension of the B & S.
to Pittsburg into which the Wabash
has effected an entrance. Then the
Wabash will have through route
from the west to the lakes.
Next, railroad link will be con
structed from Sinnamahoning to Lock
Haven. Here concessions will be
made with the Vanderbilt lines, thus
giving through line eastward.
Thus will the Wabash gridiron the
east until the rails ends at the Atlantic
coast, not, perhaps, using it's own ex.
elusive tracks all the way, but having
access to those of systems that are
friendly to the Wabash.

Woman's Distaste Tor Publicity Cost

For years Mrs. .Storey's life had
been haunted by the fear that some
day she might be called upon to serve

mother was a. witness once, and when
Mrs. Storey was a little girl she used
to- hear all about t. Grandma, it ap.

tell the judge her own name.

graceful than to be. unable to tell
your own name, I'd like to know what
It is
In order to reduce the possibilities
OF such calamity to a minimum,
Mrs. Storey would walk on with deaf.
ened ears and averted head whenever
she happened to be near fire, a fight
or the scene of an accident. Only the
other day she had occasion to shut
her eyes and ears to the seething
world about her. She Nas waiting in
the Grand Central station for Mr..
Storey who had gone around to the
baggage room to check a trunk.
Presently she became aware that
something exciting was happening
close beside her. Hastily she shut
her eyes and stuck her fingers into
her ears, but before these protective
measures could be accomplished she
learned that a female thief had
snatched handbag which she had
found lying on the floor, and was be-
ing pursued by an excited crowd. Not
being entirely devoid of the curiosity
OF her sex, Mrs. Storey would have
liked to know more. but the old fear
OF being detained as a witness held
her inert until her husbands return.
Then she ventured to ask II they had
caught the thief
Yes" said Mr. Storey, "but they
couldn't do anything with her. Ey-
eryone was confident the bag didn't
belong to her. but as nobody appeared
to claim 1t the policeman had to let
her go"
At that Mrs. Storey opened her
eyes. Il am so glad:s' she said, that
1t is all over, l am ready to go now.
