NINE MONTHS FOR
PAIR OF Shoes

John Peter Murphy was sentenced
to nine months in the county jail by
Judge Evans Tuesday for stealing a
pair OF shoes
Murphy was the man arrested by
Constable Young Friday evening after
he had picked up a pair of shoes in
front of Jacob H. Miller's store, Mill
street. In default of bail he was COM
mitted to Jail
He voluntarily appeared before court
Tuesday and pleaded guilty to the
indictment.
Jacob H. Miller was called to the
stand, who explained the circumstan-
ces of the theft. The shoes, which
were recovered. were heavy working
shoes valued at two dollars.
Murphy on being asked to arise ex-
planned how he happened to commit
the theft. He said he was walking by
the store when he spied the shoes. He
needed shoes, so he took the pair. He
did not think that he would have done
such a thing, however, if he had been
exactly sober. But the truth of the
matter, he said, was that he was
little intoxicated. 1t was only cider,
! however, that had done the work-a
few glasses that he had drunk at the
house of friend in this city where
he had taken supper.
He gave his age as 81 years and said
he was unmarried. He denied that
he was hobo and said that he worked
in Danvilie when she Danville and
Bloomsbury trolley line WAS being
built. Previous to February lth last
he worked in the machine shop at
! Berwick. He said he was on his way
there looking for work when he yield
ed to the temptation to steal the
shoes.
He resented the imputation when
Judge Evans asked him whether he
had not stolen the shoes and pleaded
guilty merely for the purpose Of seour-
ing good warm quarters for the win
| ter.
/ The sentence Of the court was that
John Peter Murphy pay the costs of
! prosecution, one dollar for use OF the
county OF Montour and undergo i'm
prisonment in the county Jail for
period of nine months.

No Friday the Thirteenth


The thirteenth day of this month be-
ing Friday, caused some gossip about
the last occasion when the supposedly
unlucky day and date came in COM
bination-which was last March.
That Friday. the thirteenth, was
made more or less memorable by the
fact that at O'Clock that evening the
jury in the first capitol graft trial
rendered verdict by which four de-
fendants-Snyder, Sanderson, Mathues
and Shumaker-were found guilty.
Friday, the thirteenth, - occurs
only when the first day of the month
happens upon Sunday. The next oc-
casion will be next August; incident
ally, it will be the only one in 1909.

that the end of active service is
drawing near.
1t is more than probable that we
have been over-driving the machine
of the body which will give out like
any machine if overtaxed, and we
should Immediately take steps to
change the gear, build up the
strength and restore the life forces
To this end nothing equals our deli
cious cod liver and iron preparation,
Vinol, which is far superior to all
other tonics and cod liver prepara-
