Local creditors have not sought to
cause Mr.. Van Pelt any trouble. but
outside wholesale houses claim that
they did not get square deal in the
sale OF his stock, and consequently
they are going to make an attempt to
open UP the whole business, and make
an effort to get their just pro ratio Of
what the stock was worth at the time
OF the sale This is the only case Of
Involuntary bankruptcy that has been
held here. 1t is evident that this will
be one of the hardest fought bank
ruptcy cases in this county since the

BOYS AND GIRLS.
THE REASON FOR FRED'S WAYS.

The boy or girl who at home is sur
rounded by an atmosphere of love
and helpfulness has the greatest
possible safeguard against the temp
tations of the outside world. To
the older brothers and sisters, who
have so great an influence over those
younger, the following is note of
warning. Are any of US thus I'M
mindful of our opportunities to help?
Fred called out from the music
room: ''I've got new song. "Come in
and play it for me, will you, please?
Beth was curled up on the couch,
deep in a most interesting story. "No,
l can't now" she replied, without
raising her eyes from the page, add
ing with sisterly frankness: 81 Cont
see what you spend so much money
on music for, anyway. You know
you can't sing"
There was an angry retort at the
tip of Fred's tongue, but he closed
his lips tightly lest it escape, and
going to the piano tried to play his
OWL accompaniment. He made 80
many discords that Beth finally threw
down her book in disgust. "What
nuisances boys are!" she exclaimed,
and Fred heard her.
A little later, having forgiving
disposition, Fred put his head through
the doorway and asked his sister If
she would play crokinole.
"Why can't you amuse yourself,
Fred? was Beth's impatient answer.
zone would think you were about
ten years DID,"
Fred flushed and turned away.
Presently he returned. "Well, Miss
Crosspatch," he said, "I suppose I can
go in the kitchen and make candy
"Indeed you cannot. To- morrow is
ironing day and Biddy will not like
to find the sink full Of sticky pans in
the morning"
"I'll wash them"
Il should like to see them after you
had finished! There, do go away and
| let me read"
The angry retort escaped this time.
Fred went to the closet, got his cap,
and went out, slamming the door.
And yet, at breakfast that morning,
Beth, complacent and dignified in her
mothers place, had remarked plain
lively to her father that she did not
see why Fred went out so much eve
nings, and stayed so late, or why he
seemed to prefer the society of any
other boys and girls to her own.-Oul

Snip.

''Snip" requires quick thinking. The
players seat themselves, all but the
Que who is conducting the game.
Pointing his finger at any one he
desires, as often as he chooses-yet
not too unfairly-the conductor forces
that player to respond. He must
instantly and rapidly repeat, in proper
succe ssiop, four words whose initial
letters shall form the word "Snip," as,
for example, soap, nose, iron, pole.
When any one cannot do it swiftly
enough, "Snip!''is pronouncedagainst-
him and he has 70 take the place
