Are you acquainted with the man who comes into your office or place of business and the first thing he does, is to criticise something and the second thing is to criticise something else. He is the smart aleck, the man who always has everything right himself, and his self satisfied laugh always grates harshly upon the ears of those present. However bright smart, and intelligent the man may be the above disagreeable qualities render his company unpleasant and he is voted a bore and an infernal nuisance.
Pat Maloney's show at. Masonic Hall Monday night was a fairly good one. Some of the finest tumbling ever exhibited in our city was given.

All who have not the sense or the self respect to behave themselves should be put out.

He thinks that the exhaustion of gas in many places is
due to
jStoi&ki
the poor care taken
of
this great
gift of nature. The, pipe lines along the llancock county roads are in bad condition, and with but few exceptions aro leaking more gas than is actually being consumed by patrons. Every Company should appoint a good Superintendent whose exclusive duty it is keep the mains iu repair. To observe the disordered condition of the pipes in many places leads one to think that the various Companies think the supply inhaust.ible forever and ever. Let us iu eyery way economize this great gift and esteem it as precious as it really i".|/ Zu*
