"Pittsburgh Perfect"
Fences The Best Because
1. Stays.are Electrically Welded to the strands forming a perfect uman
'and an amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence.
2. Alt stay wires are made as heavy as Intermediate line wires. A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material in it. Think
this over carefully.
3. No wraps to get loose, to hold moisture and cause rust.
4. No projections to injuru stoek or tear wool from sheep.
5. Stronger at the joints than any other fence. Welded together with
electricity.
6. Guaranteed that the wire is not injured at the joints.
7. Guaranteed adjustable to uneven ground.
8. Guaranteed that stays will not separata from joints.
9. Guaranteed all right in every* particular.
10. Madrf by the most modern process and on the latest improved ina-
ckinery.
H. Most of the weak points in other fences are on account of the nay
he stays are fastened,
Oar stays ar« amalgamatdd with the strands by means of electricity aud
the strength of the fence increased a hundredfold over the strength cf a
fence where the stays are wrapped or clamped on tha strands.
You may pay more money for other fences but you cannot get as good it
fenco as "Pittsburgh Perfect."

In The Dark.
About half of this village is again
"up a stump" for light and fuel, the
gas being turned off. To those who
have their houses and places of business piped it is a great inconvenience.
It seems to us as though it would be
a paying proposition for the village to
either bay or lease the plant and
thereby insure the people of permanent services, aud we believe thereby
secure many more consumers. Chas.
Qothran has gone to Chicago to find
out what the compauy is going to do.
Here's hoping a satisfactory arrangement can te made.—Stockbridge Brief-
Sun. ■-
Charm Returned.
Ten vears ago Atty. A. J. Sawyer Sr

try a murder case. Monday the charm
was found iu front of the Sawyer summer residence at Cavauaugh Lake by
a little girl who waa passing. The
diamond-set cross and crown was missing, but Mr. Sawyer's name on the
part fouud left no doubt that it was
the charm he had lost. It is believed
the thief was conscience-stricken and
returned what was left.—Standard-
Herald.
Small Returns.
The editor of the Stockbridge Brief-
Sun has been hunting. Here is what
he says about it: "The country is just
now scoured by enthusiastic hunters,
with S10 dogs and §50 guns, who shoot
away $1 worth of ammunition, wear
out ga worth of clothes, and spend S2
worth of time to get 30c worth of
game."—Herald.
The business section of Britton was
wiped out by fire Friday evening, the

A Paying. lurestnieut.
Mr. John White, of 3S Highland
Ave., Houlton, Maine, says: "Haye
been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried
many advertised remedies, but the
cough continued until I bought a 50c
bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery;
before that was half gone, the cough
was all gone. This winter the same
happy result has followed; a few doses
once more banished the annual cough.
I am now convinced that Dr. King's
New Discovery is the best of all
cough and lung remedies." Sold

Pharmacy. 50c and SI. Trial bottle

BUT  IT SAVED THE  BABY.
Dr. Matthews Tells of Queer Incident
of Family's Faith.
"When people in our part of the
country select a family physician they
stick to him," says Dr. John Matthews of Illinois, according to the
Washington Herald. "If he goes away
they won't call in somebody else if
they can possibly help it. They have
Saith in nobody hut their own man, so
long as he manages to he fairly successful. Last spring I went up to
Chicago for a few days, much to the
distress of a young mother in our
town, who expects me to inspect her
only baby every other day at least.
The second day of my stay she telegraphed me to come home at once.
Baby was sick—she told me the trouble—she didn't know what to do. It
wasn't an urgent case, I knew, so I
wired back a reassuring message, told
her to give the baby a dose of some
medicine 'she had at hand, and to fill
out the ten words I put in 'Prognosis
admirable.' I always like to use
large words when I'm telegraphing—
makes me feel that I'm getting the
worth of my money, you know. When
I* got home two days later I went "to
see the baby. 'She's all right now*,'
the mother told me, 'but we were awfully worried. We had to rely on the
medicine you left, though. The hoy
at the drug store said they didn't have
a bit of prognosis in the place.'"
Oddities of Shoplifting.
A retired merchant in one of the
large cities says the oddest lot of
criminals in this country are the shoplifters. T-hey will travel frofn one
large city to another, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, not staying^ in anyplace long enough to be recognized,
and reaping a harvest. A peculiar
fact is the large, number of women of
means who do this kind of thing.
Rich women will steal trifling articles
for which you would think they had
no need and could very" easily afford
to huy. The firm does not know whether it should excuse the guilty parties
or arrest them. These women plead
kleptomania many times, but since
the stores have begun to enlarge their
detective service to such an extent,
even giving saleswomen these positions, it is becoming more and more
difiicult for things to he taken. It now
takes a clever woman indeed to take
anything from a department store.
Strategic Economy.
Tommie—I wish you wouldn't wash
me so much, mamma.
Mamma—But you must be clean,
Tommie.
Tommie—But, mamma, you use soap
as if it didn't cost anything!—Yonkers Statesman.
True  Love.
■''You say she married for love; hut
T happen to know that the man she
married is worth a million."
"Of course; the million is what she
loves."—Stray Stories.
Tact.
Young Mother—The doctor thinks
the baby looks like me.
Visitor—Yes; I wanted to say so,
but feared you might be offended.—
Sacred Heart Review.	
Passed Examination Successfully.
James Donahue, New Britain, Conn,
writes: "I tried several kidney remedies, and was treated by our best
physicians for diabetes, but did not improve until I took Foley's Kidney
Remedy. After the second "bottle I
showed improvement, and five bottles
cured me completely. I have, since
passed a rigid examination for life insurance." Foley's -Kidney Remedy
cures backache and all forms of kidney
and bladder trouble. O. C. Wheeler's
