Fire
Sale.

The largest and swiftest shoe sale
ever known in Venango county took
place since the fire of June 2Sth.
When we opened our store on July
9th with 16 salespeople we discovered
that our large force was insufficient
to handle the people. We can truth
folly state that 70 per cent. Of our
entire stock was sold during this sale
and we will dispose of the balance,
as we do not intend to start the fall
and winter seasons with anything ex-
cept an entire new and up-to.date
stock. We had our orders for fall
and winter placed three months ago
and these goods are arriving daily,
and any one who wishes to inspect
our new stock with the idea of pur.
chasing or not we shall be pleased to
show them.

would take to a train which he
would not think worth the trouble
of claiming? Most remarkable of
all, what about those seven baby
carriages?
To Washington minds such utter
lack of business sense will seem I'M
believable. Yet we Washingtonians
must go a little slow with our won
der. We have staring us in the face
at our own city postoffice a record
of carelessness which puts us well
in the Chicago class.
Briefly, it is that every day we
send to the postmaster unaddressed,
or wrongly addressed, not 10 pieces
of mail, or 100. or 500, but 7,OOol
At the lowest estimate that means we
waste among us so day on postage.
And practically all this bulk is let
ter mail OF the 1000 pieces only
400 are newspapers.
We will do well to remember this
the next time our indignation burns
because some letter "of the great
est Importance" is lost through the
rank carelessness of some stupid
clerk in the postoffice."

Hard on the Weather Wise.

One by one Uncle Josh and Aunt
Mary are losing their old faiths.
Now it is their time-honored belief
that the swallows high fight, the
ascent of trees by tree frogs, and
the fishes eagerness to bite indicate
good weather. As matter of scien-
tifc investigation there would seem
to be no connection whatever be-
tween these phenomena and the
weather, good or bad.
Herr Robert Lendlmayr, professor
of zoology at the University of
Prague, it is who has exploded the
bird-frog-fsh reputation as weather
prophets. The swallows and tree
frogs go farther from the earth, he
says, not because they feel the air
charged with good weather, but be-
cause the insects which they pursue
for food fly sometimes high and
sometimes low. The fish are said
TO be reader to bite when the in
sects fly low in order to lay their
eggs in the water or when. being
weak from breeding, they fall into
the water As for the insects. they
seem to be so little aware of coming
weather conditions that, instead of

The Duke of the Abruzzi. who had

strenuous town marshal of Glen Echo,
Sunday, was given a tour down the
placid Potomac on a vessel, safe from
the minions of the law, this afternoon
It WAS a pilgrimage to Mt. Vernon. in
order that the royal Italian admiral
might visit the home and tomb or
General Washington. and take away
with him a twig Of Ivy growing on the
tomb, plant tree OF carry away n
rose in the lapel OF his coat as
memento OF the historic place.
The trip was made on the Mayiiower,
under the escort Of Secretary Metcalf,
of the Navy Department. The duke
was accompanied by his aide, and in
the party were Baron des PlancheS. the
Italian ambassador; Rear Admiral
COwles. chief of the Bureau Of Equip
ment of the Navy, and other navy, Of
fcers- foreign naval attaches. and
diplomats. There were about thirty in
the party, all told The kt1-ficwer left

AT Glen Echo.

Town Marshall Collins and his
Glen Echo jurisdiction are fast be-
coming more than joke. Either he
is permitted unwarrantably to hui
initiate some of our best citizens
and most distinguished visitors, or
those same persons are wiIlfully vio-
lating a just and wholly reasonable
regulation for the safety of pedes-
TRANS.
The Times believes there is too
much of botn in the situation. 1t
is undoubted that some reputable
citizens do not exercise proper SUI
pervisiOn over the drivers of their
motor cars. 1t is equally beyond
doubling that it is a travesty on
justice to commit them on no testi-
mony more than a town marshars
reading of his own speedometer as
TO the speed at which the cars move.
\ very young man appears to be
the mayor of Glen Echo. If he
hopes to establish a desirable repu-
tation for enforcing the law, he will
occupy himself less with appeals to
the State Department and more with
determining if he has sufficient evil
dence for the fines he levies.

fruit, farm produce of every sort,
even coal, are now sold by dozens of

TO be warrant of the Constitution
for Federal adjustment of them; but
if that is not to be asserted this
kind of cooperation is perhaps the
best thing to be had.

and Great Britain.
