Men have various ways of carrying
money. Grocers, butchers and millers
carry it in wad. Bankers in clean bills,
laid full length in a pocketbook. Brokers
only fold the bill once, doubling the
money as it were. The young business
man carries 1t in his vest pocket. Farm
ers and drovers in their inside pockets,
whether it is $50 or Is cents. Printers
usually carry their money in other peo-
ple's pockets.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has ordered its agents TO refuse to sell
tickets to drunken men, which moves
the TItusville Herald to offer the sensible
suggestion that, while 1t is at 1t, sit might
issue an order to conductors to throw off
without going to the trouble to stop the
train, those bOisterous individuals who
congregate about bottle of whisdey in
the front end of the smoker and make
life miserable for everybody else in the

The school board of Lackawannock
township, Mercer county, has decided to
ignore the vaccination law in spite Of the
fact that 1t was being successfully en-
forced by the teachers of the township.
At meeting held few days ago the
board instructed the teachers to open the
schools to all children of the township,
whether they had been vaccinated or not,
volunteering to assume all responsibility
and pay all costs of any suits that might
be brought.
An old soldier of Meadville recently
returned $500 to the United States treas
ury, accompanied by note in which he
said he had prospered in business, and as
he had gone into the army because he
thought 1t duty he owed to his country,
he now wished to pay back $500. The
amount was deposited to the conscience
fund.-" no name having been given. 1t
would have been a good stunt for the
Meadville man TO have turned over the
$500 to some worthy old soldier who
hadn't prospered in business.

The kiln house of the chemical plant
at Lynch burned Wednesday night and
is a total loss. Two car loads of acetate
were also destrooed. 1t is not known
how the fire originated, but the building
could not be saved, as the fire had too
much headway before being discovered.
The loss is estimated at about $4,000 and
is fully covered by insurance. The plant
is the property of the Forest Chemical
Co., with office at this place and works at
Barnes and Lynch. The fire will cause
the shutting down of the Lynch plant for
some time, or until new kiln house can
be built and equipped.-Sheffield OBJ

ness store in Clarion and for stealing

The Sheriff arrived here Tuesday with
Thomas and he is now back in his old
quarters in the Clarion Jail where he has
been so often. In view of all the cir
cumstances the court would be almost
justified in making Thomas tenure Of
office at Riverside for life.-Clsrion Dem.
