Beys Get to Coast in 62 Days.

f San Francisco, Nov. 1. —’‘Alight and rest your saddle, boys,” was the greeting of United States Marshal "Jack” Abernathy, of Oklahoma, to his two sons. Temple and Louis, aged ‘ seven and eleven who had just completed a horseback ride from New York to San Francisco in sixty-two days. Through losing their horses at Kelton, Utah, the boys lost their oportunity to win a SIO,OOO prize offered by New Y r ork sporting men if they should cross the continent in sixty days. Unofficial Information is to the effect that something in excess of SI,OOO has been deposited in the Rensselaer postal savings bank,.which is conducted by Postmaster Murray. At least five persons have deposited SIOO each, and one person is reported to have made a second deposit of SIOO. That is the largest amount that can be deposited in any one month, hut that much may be deposited each month for ftve months and then the depositor may transfer the account to gov-

«rnmA>t bonds and again begin the monthly system of deposits. A number of the accounts are quite small, it is expected the country over that money which some people had kept in hiding would be deposited in

the postal banks, and it may gradually come out of hiding, but the impression that great amounts of money wert 'thus kept out of circulation does not 1 seem weel founded. The govern meat pays 2 per cent on deposits and* every dollar deposited has the government behind It At Gary in five months the deposits have aggregated SlB./35. Foreigners there are getting acquainted with the banking system of the government There axe sow 299 depositors in the Gary beak according to the report filed by the chief clerk at the close of .October** business.

The boy was playing with the explosive when he placed a nail in the cap and hit it with a hammer to “see what it would do.” That was a piece of fine oratory recently when a lecfUrer, speaking of a drinking young man, said: "The railroads don’t want him, the ocean liners don’t want him, the banks don’t want him, the merchants don’t want him.” Then referring to an advertisement of a saloonkeeper for a bartender who does not drink, “The saloon keeper does not want him.” Turning with his most winning smile to the audience he said, "Now girls, do you want him?” J®~i—n*C. B. Wells, who is engaged in the cement tile business north of town, reports that he has- completed making up two car loads of cement and had a first class season. He still has some tile on hands but the demand is constant and it will soon be exhausted. The cement tile factory in Rensselaer made up about thirty car loads durin,; the past ten months. The proprietor expects to continue to run through the winter* months.

“I have been somewhat costive, but Doan’s Regulets gave just the results desired. They act mildly and regulate the bowels perfectly.”—George B. Krause, 306 Walnut Ave., Altoona, Pa.

Francis Stivers, 20 years old, while going from the farm of J. C. Hodges, two miles west of Paragon, to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Stivers, north of Paragon, shot at a mark on a beech tree. The pistol ball struck the tree and in the rebound struck young Stivers iu his right eye, destroying the sight • It is reported in Washington that Postmaster General Hitchcock is to resign before the first of the year. Rumor has it that he is to be married * to Mrs. Stickney, a New York widow, and that their honeymoon will be spent in Europe. President Tafts v second swing around the circle, as originally planned, came to an end at Pittsburg yesterday in the most enthusiastic and by far the noisiest demonstration be has experienced in nil the 12,000 miles he has traveled.
