nothing else will. 1t places the name o.
the store so strongly in the minds of the
people that they cannot think of dry
goods. clothing, shoes, or drugs without
the name of that advertised store coming
into their minds simultaneously. BY q
good, persistent advertising campaign
any business house can push its way to
the front.-Ex.

Philadelphia Saturday refused reargu-
ment of the case of Simpson VS.. Penn
sylvania Railroad company. Mr.. Simp-
son was injured in wreck about three

ango county jury awarded him S41 200.

that twelve miles of walk are cleaned by
the city snow pillow at the county seat.

of walks are seldom cleaned, unless at
the expense of elbow grease furnished by
abutting property owners. - Titusville

An Iowa schoolboy was asked to
write composition on Russia, and wrote
as follows: "Rooshy is country bound
ed on the north by ice, on the east by
trouble, on the south by mobbs and the
sooez kanal, and on the west by England
and Kipling. At the present time the
country has cold feet, and the imperur
has cold chills running down his back
and il afraid some one is after him with
knives and bums-they throws lots of
buns in Rooshy. Finland is a part of
Rooshy and its people are called fins be-
cause there are so many fish.
Mrs. Mary Cromer, wife of John
Cromer, died at Campo Seco, California,
Jan. lst, 1905, aged 70 years. Many of
our older residents will remember Mrs.
Cromer as a woman of rarest excellence,
and will be saddened to learn of her de-
mise. From residence of many years
at Beaver Valley, Hickory twp, the fam
lily moved to farm on the Guitonville
road, five miles beyond Nebraska, which
place still bears their name. FS4st there
they removed to the Pacific Coast States
about is years ago. One of the pleasant
est recolections of the childhood of the
writer is the remembrance of tie sweet,
motherly face of Mrs. Cromer Ding about
as a ministering angel among the neigh
bors, performing little acts of Kindness,
cheering those in trouble and scattering
sunshine in their pathway. May she rest
in peace.
Laughter is reallyja product of high
civilization. Savages never laugh-as we
know laughter. Pure and hearty laugh
ter, untouched by malice, the highest and
cleapest emotion enjoyed by man. is nm
known to them. The only thing that ex-
cites mirth in savage is the spectacle of
suffering in some enemy. The jest WI, ~
harms no one and yet provides laughter
ment is a clever jest. The intlictng of
CHASTITY wound as some poor wretch runs
the gauntlet makes them yell with glee.
The things that shock or horrify or dis
gust the civilized man are about the only
things worth laughing at from savage's
point of view. The laughter that is caused
by ridiculous mishap, which gives an
other annoyance, is the remnant of the
savage in us. Ridicule is like a blow
with tine fist; like the prick of needle; l
irony like the sting of a thorn; hunior
the plaster that heals all these Wounds
