DOING IT RIGHT That's the Kind We Use Albert F.asthagan has committed an American woman to prison because he alleges that she threatened to send him over the divide. We, a poor editor forsaken long ago by the fair sex, would be tickled to death if a fair lady would take that much notice of us. If Miss Lowry believes that she is a born pistol shot let her come up and take a chance at us and if she gets us, why we'll he buying ("lark's mixture after we are dead. We do not like to see Kasthagen use his perogative to put her in jail because she threatened his life. We know States where such a course would make Kasthagen the laughing stock of the community. What we would advise Kasthagen, and we are his friend, is to withdraw his complaint and let the little woman go to Jolo.—Manila American. Let Us Give Figures J A % A /1 I The One Price Clothief . A.

Kd and Frank Miller, well known characters who, on periodical visits to town usually arrange to get into the law's clutches, made their appearance on our streets on Monday.

They put up a tight during which Frank made his escape, but Chief Barr paid no attention to the runaway and took Kd to the jail where Frank, having decided to rescue his brother, met the chief with his prisoner.

Vest, of Missouri, is getting old and feeble, but has lost none of the cheerfulness and appreciation of a humorous situation. A short time before the adjournment of Congress he came into the Senate chamber feebly; he leaned on his man-servant's arm. But he was in good spirits and there was soon gathered about him a little group of statesman. Senator Vest began to evoke memories of his boyhood. "Once," he said, "a crowd of us—a crowd of us boys—played soldier. There were two camps. Koch camp had a fort w ith a high mild wall and when you put your liead up above this wall—bang! bung! a volley of stones came at you. "We had strict military rules, and to disobey the captain's orders w as a crime 110 one would have been guilty of. Therefore when I w as told to go outside the fort and pace off the distance from our camp to the pump close by the enemy's lines I did so, though I was badly frightened. Stones fell all about me, and though 1 paced my way to the pump correctly, I quite forgot to count my steps. So when on my return the captain asked me what the distance was I was embarrassed. But in a moment I had a happy thought. " 'How far, Captain, would you say it was?" I asked. "'Oh, about 75 paces,' the captain answered. "'That is exactly right,' said I. 'It is soventy-five paces exactly.' "—Exchange.On account of the National Encampment, O. A.

As it is now only a matter of a comparatively few weeks until our public schools will open again, it is a matter of vital importance that all the children who have not been vaccinnated should take that very important precaution. Smallpox aeeius to be in the air. The disease has made greater ravages in Pennsylvania within the past year than for many years before, and conditions seem to be favorable for a general epidemic of that much dreaded disease. It is a simple thing to be vaccinnated. The law requires it, and it is not only a duty we all owe to ourselves, but to society. Those whose duty it is should see that the law in regard to vaccinnatioo is strictly enforced.
