K%ittanning. Pa, Oct. 23.-Men wearing
Ministerial garb had better keep away
from the farmers of Indiana county. About
twenty wealthy residents nave been
swindled on a game which is original

A man wearing ministerial clothes, and
who says grace at the table and invites
the family 20 JOIN in evening prayer, has
been going about among the farmers, be-
ing overtaken at night. and has usually
been invited to remain. He has always
selected the men who are known to have
money.
Next morning as the alleged preacher
is ready to depart, young man and
woman ride up IN a buggy and hurriedly
ask where they can find a minister, as
they are anxious to get married. The
young man usually displays a roll of bills,
and the visiting parson, trying to earn an
honest dollar. offers to marry the pair.
After the ceremony the visiting minister
asks the farmer f he will witness the
marriage certificate, which the farmers
have been doing. Later they are told hat
a promissory note is in the neighboring
bank, and they are called to pay up.

and your wife into my chambers here

make o talk steadily to her for three
hours.

Many housekeepers are to blame. They
are not domesticated. and o know
how to manage servants. Their houses
are run in a slouchy n just be-
cause there is no one at the cad OF

thoughts on two points, which may
help to a solution. One is to train
our young girls not to despise house,

the other is to establish schools of do
nestle science for servants"
