MR.. JOHN SNYDER
Died At His Home East Of Extra,
Last Friday Night

The town was shocked last Satur-
day morning to hear of the sudden
death of Mr.. John Snyder who lives
a few miles east of Extra.
Mr.. Snyder was in town few
days before, making preparations
for removing his family to Canada,
having held public sale Jan. 18th
for that purpose. In the exposure
incident to making the arrange.
ments for the journey, he caught a
severe cold which quickly develo led
into pneumonia and terminated his
life.
He was man that had a good
word for his neighbors, and wac
ever ready to do a kind act. Think
ing that Canada presented an OPEN
ing for his labor, where his growing
family could branch out and assist
him, he sacrificed his operations
here and in few days more would
have been in the British posses
ions. Mr.. Snyder was held in his
esteem here, and his family has the
sym pathy of the entire neighbor-
hood. If kind act or deed is re-
quired at your hand; close not the
eye or ear to this poor mother and
her six children in supplication;
but in your magnauimity grant
their request. Your sIeep Will be
the sweeter, your conscience easier.

Answering call from the Mayor

met Monday night and placed the

and spirit Of fairness prevailed
after the selections had been made,
which should unity any difference
that may appear.
The retiring board have rendered
the city their best efforts; attending
to the municipal wants as their own.
For this they have earned the graft
tude of the town. They have met
whenever their presence was requir-

portance for the city as they would
attend to their own affairs. For this
we thank them. At the end Of their

We assume they feel grateful to the

A typographical Error.

Apropos Of the printers mistakes
that provoke wrath and chagrin or
amusement, according to the view
point Of the reader. may be mentioned
an incident relating to DR.. William
Tod Helmuth Of revered memory. DR..
Helmuth had been invited to give an
address In New York and was intro.
duced to the audience by J. Benjamin
Dtmmick. later mayor of Scranton.
Mr.. Dimmick In a happy way spoke
Of DIR. Helmuth as one who had not
only had time to become the foremost
man in his profession, but who also
had taken time to WOO all the nine
muses." referring to the physicians
versatility In art, music and poetry.
The printer. probably knowing little
about the muses., gave the startling in
formation in the report next morning
that DR.. Helmuth had taken time to
WOO all the nine nurses" apparently
recalling the fact that nurses were
likely to be about hospitals where the
guest Of the evening had been men
toned as prominent factor.

Men Do the Same ThInu.

Here's twentieth century epic
which will appeal to the heart of man:
A dog sat In the midnight chill and
howled at the beamiDg moon; his
knowledge of music was strictly nil
and his voice was out of tune. And
he howled and howled as the hours
went by, while lodging the bricks we
threw, till the moon was low in the
western sky. and his voice was split
in two. And there wasn't thing at
which TO howl over which pup
should weep. and the course of that
dog was wrong and foul, for people
were wild to sleep. There are plenty
of men like that blamed fool bound,
who yell when there's nothing wrong.

How 80. sir?" the reporter inquired.
WELL" said Mr.. Crane, there

Blank was rather gullible. Dash
called him UP one day and said:

Sure, old man. And I see you

20, you do, Ell? Well. what am I
doing Them said the gullible Blank
as he held up his hand.
Why. you're holding up your right
hand, of course.
'Humph.' Mystifled, Blank knejt on
the floor. What he said. am doing
nowr
"'Ha, ha, ha! Saying your pray
ers,' was the reply.
BLANK then held up In succession
before the telephone his watch, hat,
fan; and Dash, at the other end Of
the wire. named the articles promptly
and correctly.
so Blank. the gullible Hank, was
convinced; and before ringing OF he
told Dash to be sure and send the spec
troscope agent around and he'd buy
two from him, one for the Office and
one for the house."
Mr.. Crane laughed, lighted a cigar
and began to talk elevators again.
But how stammered the report
er-"how was the trick worked?"
THE joker DASH" said Mr.. Crane,

the window he had full view Of
