LOVE MAY LAUGH AT

Suburban Sweethearts Forego
Their Usual Trysts Because

MORELAND IN F E A r

A famous poet once wrote that true love
knows no fear The silent rustic bridges
and short country roads in Moreland town.
ship contradict the dead poet.
This contradiction was confirmed by
many young lovers in MoreIand township,
met in candestine fashion on cliffs and
other places when the moon shines
brightly.
Three animals described by some per-
sons as bears" wolves" and mountain
lions" who until two weeks ago, aided by
veteran animal trainers. helned to enter
tain country audiences are responsible for
putting a puncture in the poets essay.
Since the animals wandered away from
their winter quarters in Moreland town.
ship, many hogs. sheep and chickens have
been killed. The missing animals are held
responsible for the long list of deaths of
sheep and chickens. Farmers on the out
skirts of Glenside and Hatboro speak of
the killings of these animals as murders"
It is true that faithful and brave lover
will not tell anything about his romance.
especially when the details will appear in
print. Yet many youthful lovers in Glen
side and nearby admitted for publication
that the reason they no longer strolled in
the evenings along some of the lonely
roads was that they feared they would be
attacked by the much sought for animal
actors"
A few nights ago a young pair braved
the animals They walked down on the
same road where the night before a posse
composed of farmers, constables and chiefs
of police had chased the fleeing animals.
The young man was armed with a loaded
shotgun.
The wooing continued until the small
hours of the morning while the loaded
shotgun remained on the ground near the
lovers feet.
Constables who have occasion to pass
some of the old bridges near Hatboro and
nearby places today admitted that for the
first time in years those places have been
deserted by lovers because of their fears
for the circus animals
II guess it is those African animals
which Is keeping the sweethearts away
from their former meeting places" said
one constable this morning.

Police Court Chronicles

Most of the trouble in the world is due
TO the fact that too many persons work
for living according to John Martin.
He said so today in the course of an ex-
tended address in the neighborhood of
3Oth and York streets,
His coming was not announced in ad-
vance, nor was his going, Both were
precipitate, While many weary heads
were stIll resting on pillows, Martin sud
denly announced that he intended to revo-
lutionize matters both commercially and
socially. He distributed a food OF jaw
breaking words which reminded one of
race between the dictionary and the en-
cyclopaedia. Frowsy heads appeared at
windows and expressed disapproval in
short and brutal sentences
But while Martin spoke on, old shoes,
bottles and various other things arrived
near the speaker and emphasized the at
titude of the compulsory audience. And
then a cop approached Martin saw him
first and daTted through nearby alley.

ORDERS OF U. s. STEEL
646,19 TONS LARGER
Amount of Untitled Contracts $685.
966 Tons on February 20

NEW YORK, March 1O.-The untitled
tonnage of the United States Steel Cor
poration on February %, 1916, was $685.
966 tons an increase of 646,199 tons COM
pared with that on January 81, 1916.
The total tonnage on the books of the
Steel Corporation as of February 20 last
establishes a new high record in the cor
porations history, and exceeds by 79,24S
the previous top mark of S,489,71S tons
on December 81. 1906. At that time, how
ever, there was considerable duplication
in compiling the orders, because of the
fact that business taken by one subsidiary
which had to depend upon another for
part of it's supplies was included in both
amounts This feature has been elmi-
mated, however. and the orders on the
books of the corporation at present will
exceed those of the previous high mark by
a much larger total, if ii were possible to
eliminate the Implications in 1906,
Comparison of untitled tonnage is made
with previous reports as follows:
