The English comedian, J. L. Toole.
was persistent Joker. but on one
occasion he was very nearly 'hoist
with his own petard." He was play
ing in 'The Waterman" with Sims
Reeves. who took the part of Tom Tug.
When TOole asked, whats the mean
ing Of all this?" Sims Reeves yielded
to an overwhelming temptation and re-
piled, '"The meaning of it is that you've
been made tool of. and I'm q happy

Toole racked his brain for q retort.

WAGES.

GLORY Of warrior. glory Of orator, glory
~ Of song.
Paid with a voice flying by to be lost on
an endless sea
Glory of virtue, to fight. to struggle to
right the wrong
Nay, but she aimed not at glory, no loy-
er of glory she.
Give her the glory of going on and still
to be.
THE wages Of sin is death. II the wages
L of virtue be dust
Would she have heart to endure for the
life Of the worm and the fly?
She desires no isles of the blest, no quiet
seats Of the Just,
To rest in a golden grove. or to bask in a
summer sky.
Give her the wages Of going on and not
to die. $
Alfred Tennyson.

Yankton, S. D., Nov. 25.-(Special.)
About month ago a new hide and
metal purchasing house opened here
under the name of A. Clark & Co. Of
fees were opened and bank connec-

business man sold sxty-seven barrels
of tallow to the representative of an
eastern house. 1t was puzzle where
he got so much tallow in this place,
but he sold the goods and got New
York draft for $3.50. Because he in
sisted upon cash, instead of depositing
the draft, as usual, the bank got sus-
picious and refused to cash the draft.
Clark disappeared, tried to cash the
check i'll Chicago, where it was taken
up and all but three of the barrels
here, upon inspection, were found to
contain water. No one here lost any
thing, as Clark was careful to meet all
local obligations promptly by checks,
which were good at his bank. Clark is

James Christian. one of the four
men arrested with three women in the
raid here Sunday night. was freed on
bond late last night. His bail was re-

against the defendants. The bail of
three other members of the syndicate
may be reduced to-day. The alleged
leaders, however, probably will be held

CAMP HILL PEOPLE
ASK FOR PAVING
Petition Council to Use Loan
Already Approved For Main
Street Improvement

Camp Hill, Pa, Sept. 10. - Camp
Hill is at last in the way of paving
Main street from one end of town to
the other. This Improvement has been
hanging fire since June of last year,
when the voters approved paving
loan with the understanding that the
State would assist in the construction.
due to the fact that Main street is part
of the State highway through the Cum
berland Valley. Then came the de-
cision of the Attorney General to the
effect that no State money could be
used for road construction within bor-
ough limits.
When the matter of using the loan
for paving purposes without State aid
came up this summer some of the
councilmen held back because, they
said, they had promised voters that
the State would assist. To counteract
this the taxpayers themselves have
gotten out petitions for the paving and
they are being signed by everybody.
Council will then have no reason to
postpone further action on the paving
There is ample money in sight for the
improvement.
