Judge James s. Young, of the United
States District Court, has suspended un-
til the May term the sentence OF Wesley
Il. Zeigler, an lS-year-old boy of. Presi-
dent, who pleaded guilty to taking s.
while acting as mail carrier for his father.

of year it seems kind of com Portable,
after the chores are done at night to sit up
by the fire read the papers and hear the
wind blow outside. With barns well
filled and with contented animals war IN

no pressing debts and little money
coming in from time to time, the hard
working lnan can still get good deal of
enjoyment. City life is all right, too, but

Franklin News looks at it.

are being rushed out on the road by the
biggest houses since election. They say
that never in the past ten years has busi-
ness been so brisk as it is at present.
Many said they were convinced they
would not have been sent out had it not
been for the election of Taft.-Titusville
Herald.

ney, Attorney Whitmer and Frank
Barnes, the latter convicted of the Pithole
robbery, and who has told many weird
stories of his connection with murders in
western Pennsylvania, departed from
Franklin yesterday for New Castle, pre-
sumably to again take up an investigation
of the murder of Treasurer Blevins, OF
that city. The officers gave out nothing
for publication, probably impressed with
the fact that the stories told by Barnes
seem founded upon his Imagination and
that they believe that there will be moth
ing tangible developed from their trip
