A Woman’s Bargain.

An Oil City man, who was detained at the house for a part of the day, handed his wife, who was going down town, a quarter of a dollar and re-„, quested her to get him three cigars for it. When she returned she handed him the package, remarking, exultantly: “That shows that women can beat men all hollow when it comes to making purchases. I found a place where I could get eight for a quarter instead of three. 'lsn’t that goihg some?” # And the poor man, as he took his medicine, merely remarked: "It certainly is, dear." Justice William Cook, of Aetna, has resigned his office because the inhabitants are too peaceful. He had been In office five months and in that time had one case. Mr. Cook began work in the powder mills.
