If It Eits

If It Fits
 Possibly the reason why mean do not kiss their wives oftener after , marriage is because they are SC busy kissing their money good-by. A bachelor gets the notion that a girl hynotizes man before mar riage and afterward tyrannizes him A lot of acting that is done on the stage is not nearly so bad as most of the acting done on impulse. We guess it is more apt to be a nasty temper than nasty marriage that causes the divorce.
 If parents only would learn the gentle art of vigorously applying the shingle while their children are young it would save them many heartache in after years.
 Every girl knows the name of a dozen or more good face. powders, but there are darn few of them these days who even know what baking powder is used for.
 A mans past is one thing that all ways is present with him.
 Where lot of fellows differ from the lilies of the field is that while they toll not they do spin-an awful lot of yarns.
 Regardless of the progress the women are making, we'll wager every girl still is more interested in getting the third finger of her left hand through a ring than she Is in getting her hat in the ring.
 The reason why a wife thinks other women nave such model hus- bands is because she only sees those fellows with their company man. ners on. Their wives could tell her few things that would convince her all men are alike.
 Girls may not be as modest as they used to be. but most men think their salaries still are.
 So far We can't see where the ladies have improved politics much. not where politics have improved the ladies much. either.

Of Monongah Division
Tonnage Last Week.

Last week out of three railroad
divisions q total Of 1871 cars, or
$3.50 tons Of coal, was shipped
to the lakes. There was probably
some additional tonnage that
went to the lakes on the Monor-
gahela Railway which Is unac-
counted for.
on the Monougah Division, B.
q o. last week., 1867 cars we're
shipped, which was u cars less

week proved TO run Sc per cent
OF the total production along the
division. There were 2,i14 cars OF
railroad fuel loaded or q gain Of
204 cars over the previous week
The assigned car is plainly In evil
dence in all corners Of the region.
Whether this is a general rush be-
fore the winter or an effort on the
part Of the carriers to play safe
before the Inter State Commerce
Commission acts on the assigned
car case remains to be seen.
OF, last weeks 2,414 cars load
ed on the division, the B. 4 o.
secured 84s cars and foreig:.
roads 1858 cars. With the a76
privately owned cars loaded last
