WHATS IN A NANIE?"

At the Gettysburg reunion this
year many strange incidents occur
red. Among such was the meeting
of two men with exactly the same
name. They came from different
states, but from towns of the same
name. Both were in the Gettysburg
battle, one fighting under the stars
and stripes, the other under the
stars and bars. One was John Car
son of Burlington, N. j., the other
was John Carson, of Burlington, N.
C. The two old vets met by chance
and, of course, became fast friends.
After all, there may be another
Luke Levy in the world, notwith-
standing the belief to the contrary
of our progressive and good-natured
townsman.
Talking about names and places
reminds us of the time when James
Childress was editor of the Wayne
County Democrat, away back in
1869. Mr.. Childress was with the
Herald for years, then went to Ber-
muda for his health, dying there,
we are told. Last week we saw that
e. H. Childress, (possibly a son of
James,, was recently elected presi-
dent of the Southern Illinois Editor
ial association, and that he is the edi-
tor of the Wayne County Press.
Oh, this old world is full of
strange things!

able as a tax on milk or eggs or
bread. 1t is a tax on a necessary of
life and it should never have been
imposed"
We have no doubt the Press is
right when it says the tax is to be
passed on to the consumer. So it
is seen that this coal tax bill is not
going to bring the relief to the peo-
pie it was thought it would, and.
more's the pity, it will increase
their burdens because it will force
them to pay more for their coal. 1t
is hard to catch the coal compan-
les in this matter, and easy for the
companies to catch the people. In
counties like Bradford where no
hard coal is mined (and this includes
a large majority of the counties of
the state) the, tax is direct increase
in the already high cost of living for
all who use hard coal. The only
satisfaction or offset which the peo-
pie of the anthracite counties have
is that they will receive one-half OF
the proceeds of the tax and that the
major portion of it will come from
consumers outside the anthracite
region. All this in case the act is
sustained by the courts.-Reporter-
Journal and Bradford Republican.

WHEN TROUBLE COMES ROUND.
BY Joe Cone.


When Trouble knocks hard on my
kitchen door,
l don't get up an answer no MORE;
/ set right still till his hans git sore.
Years ago, when l was young an
thin,
l ulster git up an ask him in,
An listen to all the yarns he'd spin.
An I'd think all day, an I'd dream
all night,
Till 1 didn't have no appetite,
An 1 couldn't work, an l couldn't
fight.
Then 1 woke one day with an awful
start,
With change of head an change
of heart,
An I laid for Trouble to play my
part. s
When he come along an he saw my
eye,
He turned way out fer to pass me
by;
An l held my head up bold an high
So now when he knocks at my kitch-
en- door,
| git my club an 1 cross the floor,
But Trouble don't hang aroun' no
more.

THE SUNDAY ACCIDENT NOTION.

Something in the nature of an
epidemic of accidents and mishaps
occurred on Sunday, July 20, rang
ing from st. Louis to Philadelphia,
Some people believe that these acci-
dents were caused because it was
Sunday.
AS a matter of interest, possibly
of information, a review of these
casualties will be timely.
In Philadelphia two trolley cars
collided, injuring twenty-three pas
sengers, some of them very serious
ly. Fifty others were shaken up
bodily. The majority of these peo-
pie were bound. for a pleasure re-
sort. Score one for the Sunday idea.
At Oil City, Pa, a street car con-
tanning five prominent business men
Of that city was crashed into by an
other car at grade crossing. Here

HOW ABOUT THIS?

1t is reported that many women
employed in factories will not re-
spond to fire drills because the con-
struction of the majority of fire
escapes is of such an open kind that
women's natural modesty rebels
against being gazed at by careless
men whose bump of curiosity is
entirely too we'll developed. We are
tempted to say some very plain
words along this line. Probably we
are not entirely blameless for with
holding them; but one can't say in
print all that he thinks. 1t is not
wise to do so. We would suggest to
women who may have such COM
plants to make that they appoint a
talking committee, composed of
women who know how to "say
things" That would help some.
If it does not help enough, we'll,
there are plenty of men who are
not as modest as is the writer of this
little article, who, by the way, is not
afraid to sign his name to what he
writes, if that were deemed at all
necessary.

ance. nineteen years old, member of
a Leroy township family, Monday

through his body and passed into a

The range of quotations was not wide
enough to reflect a decided change in

some of the developments awaited might
not be favorable. Perhaps the news for
which the street waited most eagerly was
definite word whether the Balkan was

continuance of hostilities would have
depressing effect upon the money ana Sc
curitieS markets of the world. Fear of
widespread labor trouble in the steel in
duStry was an influence on the bear side
as was the disappointment which was
felt when the supreme court adjourned
for three weeks without announcing the
decision in the Minnesota rate case. In
