NO MORE SQUABBLES 90 When
Frank Kuhns, a plasterer, returned
home Tuesday night several hours lat
er than he had promised his wife,
there was family wrangle. This con-

Finally, Kuhns jumped out of bed
with a remark, 81 will settle this
squabble for good. - With that he
fetched his single barreled gun, which
was loaded, aud leaning over the mu2-

THE ROMANCE OF AN EGG
That Philadelphians do not always
get the freshest of eggs is illustrated
by the following: A letter was re-
ceived by Frank Rupert, of Blooms
burg, from his sister who resides in
Kansas. in which she states that in
spirit of fun, she wrote her name and
address on an egg the first of last
January, and that last week received
a letter from Philadelphia to the
effect that he had that day been serv-
ed an egg in restaurant on which he
observed her name and address.
HIGH WATER BRIGHTENS BUS
MESA fleet of 200-odd light boats
and barges, laden with 1000, 900 bush

water from Ohio river pools near
Pittsburg, after a five months tie up,
and proceeded South to the relief of
down.river manufacturing centers.
Several thousand tons of iron products
were also shipped. The reopening of

for more than 1000 rivermen, who
have been practically unemployed for
several months.

tobacco and gum was the discovery
made by Police Inspector John j.
Ford of Pittsburg, who is also drill
master of the entire police force, and

an order prohibiting the police from
chewing tobacco. Ford thinks that
the police try to time their feet tc
the movement of their jaws as they
MUNICH their quids.
