CONVENIENT AS CASH,

SiileagejTickets Issued By The Pennsylvania

Lines,

Persons who travel will find the mileage tickets issued by the Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburg great conveniences, as well as money savers. Principal cities and towns in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are reached by these lines, which also extended to Pittsburg, Erie, Ashtabula, Cleveland, Toledo, Ft. Wayne, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis. Louisville, Cincinnati Columbus, Wheeling and other important places. Over one-half the counties in Ohio are traversed by the Pennsylvania Lines, the county seats of nearly alliot them being located thereon. They also traverse forty counties of Indiana, touching at county seats. Holders of the mileage tickets over the Pennsylvania Lines can convenintly reach any leading city or town between Pittsburg Ton the east and the Mississippi river on the west the Great Lakes on the north and the Ohio River on the south, these tickets being a vailabie over several trunk {lines of the Fort Wayne and Pan Handle Routes, as well as over the numerous branches. The cost of a 1,000 mile ticket is $20, a rate of two cents per mile, making the saving on a 100 mile ride $1 with proportionate arger amount saved on longer distances. This conveLient money saver may be obtained at ticket offices of the Pennsylvania Lines. The person to see at Greenfield for information about it is W. H. Scott, Ticket Agent. 2t4&d

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.

General Harrison Advocates Town Meetings Once or Twice a Tear.

Ex-President Harrison, in a series of articles on "This Country of Ours" in The Ladies' Home Journal, writes vigorously of the great necessity of the people insisting upon the strict enforcement of the laws. Directly upon this point he says: "We need general Assemblies of the people in the smaller civil subdivisions, to be held regularly once, or twice a year, town meetings in which two questions only shall be considered: First, are the public officers faithfully and honestly transacting the public business? Second, are the laws—not this law nor that, but all laws—enforced and obeyed? All questions of laiw reform should be excluded, left to parties or societies organized to promote them. The enforcement of the law, whether we opposed or aided the making of it the strict accountability of public officers, whether we opposed or aided their election, should be the objects and the limits of these meetings. There should be no distinction of persons. "Our law and order movements are too apt to be confined to what we, not too accurately, call influential people. Every man and woman ought to have a chance to choose his side, without regard to station or wealth or race or

coir

or. There will be none too many. In some such movements it has seemed to me that many hane been assigned to the wrong side who vould have chosen the right. There is ditnger that such may accept the place they would not have chosen. Can any working plan be devised to maintain from day to day an effective watchful interest among the body of our citizens in the enforcement of the laws, and sn a clean, honest administration of public affairs—small and great? Or are we to accept the humiliating conclusion that bad things cannot "be made i^ood, or even better, until they'come *o be persistently and utterly bad or still worse, that when the river of popular indignation has cleaned the stable, it is only to leave Us without a supply of water for daily sanitation?"

ANECDOTES OF SPURGEON.

Bow the Great English Preacher Came to Be a Smoker. Some years ago I was at a hotel in Paris, and to my great delight found Mr. Spnrgeon one wet afternoon in lie smoking room. He was attending a religious conference and was accompanied by a kind of bodyguard of elders and deacons, one or two of whom constantly watched him. Fortunately for me, none of them smoked, and when they mounted their usual watch he literally choked them off in a few minutes. I was therefore his sole audience on two or three occasions. I have known most of the good conversationists and raconteurs of my time but, except perhaps Robert Louis Stevenson, he was by far the best. I understand that a biography of Mr. Spnrgeon has lately appeared, but I havo not seen it and doubt if the author has preserved the following anecdote, which I venture to "write down, as nearly as I can remember, in his own words: "You wouldn't guess what calling I wanted to follow. I wanted' to be a whipper in of hounds. Yes, there was never a meet near where I was broa.ght up without my attending, and many a long run I had, often across plowed fields, and many a time I was alone at the death. 1 could not do it now"—and then be looked at his ample waistcoat and laiighed. I never heard a more pleasant laugh nor one more sympathetic and infectious. He continued: "You wouldn't guess how I came to be a smoker. When I was 16, I went to my father and told him there was a vacancy, and that I should like to go in for it. 'A vacancy for what?' he asked. 'For a whipper in to the hounds, and I should be sure to get it.' Ee answered, .very solemnly, 'Charles, my son, yon should be a whipper in of souls,' and

Ikj

sent me down into tbe Fen country to preach in the villages. When I camy home, I developed a violent cold, with a good deal of fever and some twin :. of rheumatism. I told my father all my experiences—how I had been leceiv ed, how they had crowded in—but there was one thing iii particular that I dwelt on. "I had observed in every cottage that the old people sat in the chimney corners and that the table before me was ornamented with two long pipes, crossed, between two jars of tobacco and two hymnbooks. At one of these meetings, just as I was about to speak, an old man took up and filled a pipe, and then drawing a hot cinder from the fire proceeded to offer it to me. I gavo him a look intended to wither him up, for I allowed no levity"—here another laugh. 'I see,' said my father, 'how you have acquired that heavy cold.' When I was better, I started on another tour, but before I left home my father said in his most impressive tones, 'Charles, my son, if they fill and light a pipe for you, smoke it. If they don't, fill and light for yourself. And, in any case, don't keep them from their tobacco. In that climate and at this time of year smoking is your best protection against feverish colds.' "—London Realm.

A HARROWING EXPERIENCE.

Story of an Execution by Electricity Related on an Elevated Train.

They got on a crowded Sixth avenue elevated train at Fourteenth street, and every one looked at them because they were both young and both pretty. They talked together in audible tones, with all the enthusiasm of youth, and the other passengers listened to it all with great interest.

Suddenly one of them, the smaller one, turned to her companion and with a look of horror on her face asked: "Oh, Win, did you ever see any one killed by electricity?" "Gracious, no!" exclaimed the other. "I should hope not." "I did," laconically rejoined the other. "Why, Florence, what do you mean?" demanded her companion. "Oh, it was terrible," replied Florence in a.11 seriousness. "I never want to see anything like it again.'' "How utterly ridiculous 1" remarked her friend. "Whom did you ever see killed by electricity?" "Why," replied Florence, an aggrieved expression coming over her face, "it was the other afternoon up in Harlem. I saw a cat run over by an electric car."

The other passengers tried not to smile, but it was too funny, considering that the girl meant every word she said. Neither girl noticed the amusement of the other passengers, however, and Florence doesn't know yet of the amusement the passengers got out of her harrowing experience. —New York Sun.

I Carlyle Corrected.,

At a Royal academy dinner in London some years ago several artists were expressing their enthusiasm about Titian. Carlyle and Thackeray, it appears, were among the guests. Mrs. Annie C. Wilson tells the story Of what followed:

His glorious: coloring is a fact about Titian," said one man, striking the table to give emphasis to. the remark. "Aud-his glorious drawing is another fact aboiit Titian cried another artist.

Attd so they went on until Carlyle* who had been

(listening

in silence to

their rhapsodies, interrupted them by saying* with* a slovr deliberation which had its own impressive emphasis: ".And here I sit, a man made in the image of God, who knows nothing about Titian and cares nothing about Titian, and that's another fact about Titian."

Thackeray was sipping claret at the moment. He paused and bowed courteously to Carlyle?"Pardon me," he taid "that appears to me to be not a fact about Titian, but a fact, and a lamentable one, about Carlyle

Might Have Known.'
