HaIpagon was silent for few mo-
ments. He passed his hand over his
chin. bristling with a grizzly beard OF
several days growth. when n sudden
thought struck him. and. turning to the
doctor, he gasped eXcitedly;
quick send for n barber"
The barber soon afterward arrived
with his shaving tackle.
IIarpagon. whose voice was getting
weaker. asked him. "You-charge-two
pence for shaving?
That's the price" was the answer.
"And-how much is it-for shaving

The barber paused moment and
then said. Five shillings."

He was too feeble to utter another

A BUSINESS LESSON.

Peter Cooper was one OF the most

ly opposed 10 the methods OF many
merchants who launched out into ex.
travagant enterprises on borrowed
money, for which they paid eXorbtant
rates OF interest. The following anec-
dote illustrates this point very forci.
bly,:
Once. while talking about "A project
with an acquaintance. the latter said
he would have 10 borrow the money
for six months. paying interest at the
rate OF 3 per cent per month.
why do you borrow for so short a
timeT" Mr. Cooper asked.
Because the brokers will not nego
tiate bills for longer"
Well il you wish" said Mr. Coop
er, IL will discount your note nj thai,
rate for three years"
Are you in earncstT" asked the
would be borrower.
Certainly | am. will discount
your note for $4,000 for three years
at that rate. VIII you do it,
"Of course will" said the mer
chant.
Very we'll" said Mr.. Cooper. Just
sign this note for $4,000, payable in
three years. and give your check for
$500. and the transaction will be com
pletc."
But where is the money for meT'
asked the astonished merchant.
You don't get any money" was the
reply. Your interest for thirty six
months at 3 per cent per month
amounts 10 los per cent. or Sl0,S00.
Therefore your check for $500 just
makes us even"
The force Of this practical illustra-
ton Of the folly OF paying such an ex-
orbitant price for the use Of money
was such that the merchant determined
never TO borrow at such ruinous rates,
and he frequently used to say that
nothing could have so fully convinced
him as this rather humorous proposal
by Mr.. Cooper.

FRED j. BYROD
ELUDES FRIENDS

Fred ]. Byrod, of Sunbury, manager
of the Chestnut street opera house,
and of the Island park theatre, man
aging editor of the Sunbury Item, and
an enthusiast over everything over
which it is possible to grow enthusi-
astic, eluded the watchfulness of his
friends and was married at O'Clock
yesterday morning to Miss Edna
Farra.
Mr.. Byrod is one of Sunbury's best
known and most popular young men.
On Tuesday it became known that he
had secured marriage license, and
since that time relays have guarded
the stations and even watched his
home, so that the happy event could
not take place without the usual send
off.
But Mr. Byrod was too much for his
pursuers. The first intimation that
they had that the event had taken place
was when a milkman told in Sunbury
yesterday morning that he had just
seen Fred out in the country driving
toward Shamokin, his bride beside
him, in buggy.

JOHN KE|M WILL
furnish BRICK

Lynch Bros the firm bidding low
est for the new buildings At the hos
pital for the insane, has placed a very
heavy order for brick with John Keim.
the proprietor Of the local brick yards
The brick will be delivered Mt the
site Of the new buildings by Mr.
Keim. They will be divided into two
installments. Five hundred thousand
brick will be delivered this fall aud
the remainder. fifteen hundred thou
sand, will be delivered a. needed next
summer.
In the new buildings stone will be
used only in tue cellar walls. all the
rest Of the structures. including the
center walls will be built of brick.
Mr.. Keim will supply all the brick
needed for the three new buildings
and the order takes rank with the
largest that he has ever filed.
Mr. Keim, with some forty five men
employed. has been working his four
yards at this place to their full cap
acity all summer. At present he has
over nine hundred thousand brick on
hand. He will continue to operate his
yards until November lst. The cap
acity of his four yards is ample to
furnish all the brick for the hospital
as needed. leaving large balance for
sale in other directions.
Mr. Keim during the past season has
shipped one hundred and fifty thou
sand brick to Sunbury to be used in
the Drumheller building as we'll as
three hundred and twenty-five thou
sand brick to the Odd Fellows orphan
age at Snydertown.
Handmade brick, although trifie
more costly, have the preference over
the machine made product. Beside
Danville possesses fine deposits of clay
which together with skilled brickmak-
ers who reside hereabout. contributes
to the production of first class brick.

In an interview with News report
ed Mr. Jahn said that the new park
would be modern aud up-to-date in

own in connection with the power
