Ter to a reporter, than that of the
American boy to become millionaire.

good many decimals to work that out,

aeronaut last week." said friend.
Yes, l did, replied the washer

A Cleveland school teacher writes
that she asked her class what was

sions, "a WHILE" and "a time" says

ject. Finally the light of intelligence
was seen to shine in the eyes of one
little bay, and the teacher called upon
him to save the intellectual honor of
the class
Il know, teacher" he cried eager
ly. When papa says he's going out
for while, mamma says she knows
he's going out for a time!"
That's one way of looking at it.

"My husband used to have bad
spells with his stomach and would be
sick three or four days, during which
time he could not eat or drink any
thing. But since he gave up coffee
and took to Postum, he has had no
more trouble, and we now fully be-

f. b. Fishers Address.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
AGAIN we are assembled to dis
Gus our local grievances and to
strike at the evil roots of our home
government. For the past two
weeks / have tried to show you how
grossly m~ismanaged are the Offices of
the borough clerk, borough collector,
recorder, council and that of the
honorable mayor. ,a u. .nauf
"Our declarations were all ground
ed on facts which up to date have
not been denied except by a mali
cious personal attack made upon me.
when our Master was upon earth
the conditions evidently were similar
70 ours. You remember reading the
good book" how he went to the tenn
pie to worship but found the court
yards Of the sacred ediffce infected
by vendors, tax collectors, grafters,
etc. You remember how with a
whip he drove them all out and
soundly upbraided them for conduct
ing nefarious business on holy
ground. Well thew ran from his an
ger. Did they ever denv the truth
of his CHARGES? No, indeed. thew
simply attacked the Man of God and
ena1ly drove him to his intimely
death.
Our borough officers have often
been warned to mend their wavs-
disastrouslv so On one occasion.
Did they heed the warning given?
Did they RIGHTLY interpret the hand
writing on the wall? No. my hear
ers. Be 1t said TO their shame thew
turned their back on all this and
managed their sacred trusts more
carelessly than before until every
office was infected with gross mis-
management, even dire neglect.
Laws that were enacted by the coun-
ell have been utterly ignored. The
public has never been taken into the
confidence Of the borough officers
notwithstanding the pleadings of re-
sDectahla citizens to have an account
ing made of the councils financial
transactions.
"Thev went on until the crises Of
September 10, 1912. when o %supple-
mentarv report from the Universal
Audit Company was filed with the
council setting forth a disclosure of
the muddled condition of the hor-
ough's finances and declaring that
they could not tell how much the
borough had to their credit or how
much 1t was In debt. The patience of
a long suffering peop1e was outraged
nv that report and there indignation
meetings are a result.
