MINISTERS DENOUNCE
HIGH SCHOOL DANCE

JEANETTE, Pa, Dec. 15.-Pro,
tests were made from every pulpit In
Jeanette against the high school So
cial and dance to be held next We'd
nesday evening. A. typewriter pro
test which was adopted at the meet
ing of the ministerial association last
Saturday willtbe. presented to Super,
tntendcnt ofisehools T$$B. Shank and
the members OF the school board at
the school board metelng tonight.
The two> principal objections
against the dance are, first, that It
will be held on Wednesday evening,
the night all the churches hold prayer
meeting and it will keep the young
people away from their churches;
second, that the influence of the ball
room is not conducive to the best in
2terests Of the school pupils, who are
at an impressionable age.

CHRISTMAS ADVERTISING.

4 Al no time in the year does the
merchant have SO much capital lock-
sed lip in his stock as just before the
holidays.
Under modern systems e e:ft-
cheney, the cost of advertising is
feckoned as a necessary part of the
expense of selling goods. The mer-
chant no more thinks of stopping II
than he does of turning off his sales
people.
Hence at Christmas the stock be-
ing bigger than ever, it is felt that
more than ever can and must be
spent in advertising, without exceed
ing the normal proportion for this
form Of sales expense. Hence 1t y
that all the newspapers are crowded
with. Christmas sales notices
No class of goods is SO transient

Miners WiDes

ARE STUDYING HOW TO FEED
FOUR HUNGRY MEN FOR 4S

knoyn Is have the biggest Appetite
of anyboa y there, sat down to a meas
most attf actively cooked, more thar
they could eat, That cost@oplyS tortH
three cents. NJ ! = !
Behind this lies a story Of the
conversion Of a number Of the good
women of Tams to modern domestic
science methods. Mrs. NJ. 3. Scott
of Philadelphia, one of the most ia
nous culinary experts in the coun-
try, at the solicitation of a friend,
visited Tams for two days.
The good women of that place
were invited to public demonstra-
ton by Mrs. Scott. The officer Of a
mining company, who introduced her
explained that she would show how
any four men in the camp could be
given dinner at cost of less than
SO cents. There were a number of
men present, notorious for their good
appetites. Openly skeptical, the
women of the mining camp chose
four men and rather sneeringly sug-
gested that Mrs. Scott feed them for
so cents and give them enough to
eat. Their wives hadn't been able
to.
Mrs. Scott promptly accepted the
challenge. She gave them beef
stew, the meat of which cost IS cents.
Because potatoes are high Mrs. Scott
rejected Them. and as a substitute
made a dumping alta cost of cents
including the parsley and other sea-
soning. A soup Of stock cost cents
and can of peas was had at the
company store for 6 cents. For de-
sert she gave the men Indian pud-
ding at cost of cents, and the
coffee for the four men cost Z cents.
The women of the mining camp
watched the preparation Of this feast
open-eyed. The four men selected
to eat 1t were objects of envy of all
the other men in the room. On the
second day of Mrs. SCOTS stay a
larger building had to be used to &C.
commodate the mining women who
wanted to learn some of her meth.
DDS. Mrs. Scott has taken young
woman from Tams to Philadelphia to
give her thorough training in do
nestle science economy, and the
young woman's expenses will be
borne by the operators.

SAM H0UsTON,

In recently published book My
Beloved South" the story of the first
marriage of Sam Houston is told.
Houston was a man of extraordinary
fame in the first half Of the last CEN
fury. He was governor of Tonnes
see; a congressman, a United States
senator, governor Of; Texas a gen
eral in the Mexican war. and. a man
whose name was, known in every,
household in the country. When he
was SS years old he married, and
Immediately after resigned the gQX-
I:ernorship of TENNESSEE and went to
Arkansas, separating from his wife.
The American CyclOpoedia says these
Facts were done for reasons un-
known to the public" This new
book gives the reasons, somewhat
after the following manner:
The wedding was brilliant af-
fair, the bride being beautiful and
ambitious girl. Specifies with
emotion, Houston gathered his wife
in his arms. She repelled him, warn
ing him not to crush her veil. He
gently removed it and lifted her face
with the purpose Of kissing her. She
requested him to do nothing Of the
kind, Imagining that modesty caus-
ed her to shrink from caress be-
fore the guests Sam said: II
haven't thanked you yet for marry
ing me, but LIDO. See, am humble;
I am on my knees, my darling, to
THANK you'll" In sharp voice the
bride said: do get up and don't
be foolish; I don't want you to thank
me for marrying the governor of
Tennessee. Later the matter was
! taken UP again, the governor assur-
ing her that he preferred the title
Of lover to that OF governor where.
upon the bride Informed him that If
she had wanted d lover she would
have married another man, but she
didn't believe in love. 81 have mar
ried," siecontinued, cas- l said be-
fore, the governor of Tennessee. I
am to sit at the head of his table,
to receive his friends, and to share
his triumphs."
Sam was purple by this time. He
sat down and wrote his resignation
as governor, threw it at her feet,
picked up his hat, and said: u mar
ried you for love, the purest, the
truest, the most reverently adoring
that man ever gave to woman. You
married me without love. ] scorn
a woman's body without her soul. We
are far asunder as the poles. We part
here, now and forever"

A GAS RATE WAR.

shinnston> has a gas rate war on,
resulting from which, there will be
cheaper gas there>awhile at least.
"A new company has been formed
and contracts are being signed At
twelve cents per thousand for five
years. This has caused the old COM
5uany to reduce the price to eleven
cents and If paid 'by the twentieth
day of every month it is to be only
nine cents. The reduction is evident
Nv 10 run the other company out
The new company under the circum'
stances will doubtless have difficult
task Of convincing consumers thai
they should pay three cents a thou
sand more in order to maintain COM
petition. When the old company
succeeds in driving out its competi
tor, will the rates go up again?
Such instances as this will doubt
less result finally in governmental
rate regulation. = Clarksburg Tele'

Polling Places Purified.

The newest thing in government Is

places, says the Woman's Journal.
Tobacco smoke and juice we have had

and mother and babies going togeth-
or TO the polling places; from Oregon
is sent out a picture Of white-haired
women voting in bower OF flowers;
and latest we find in Illinois potte4
