The Pittsburgh Post, Aug. 20, 1S56 stated that "The navigation of the Monongahela River is" now fully repaired, and the boats are making their Tegular trips as usual.

The Argo was a stern wheel steamer of 100 tons burdenbuiJt at Freedom, on the Ohio River, under the superintendence of her owner and commander, Capt. John George.

The "resolution" to create parkings regulations for "Main street" is laughable. Really now, don't you think so? Monongahela has a reputation for hospitality and Why destroy it. It is on a main highway Route 31 and is known for its liberality. Remem ber when Mayor Stahlman had the Boy Scouts give tourists welcoming cards inviting motorists to park anywhere? Wasn't that the proper spirit? Do we need any more laws or ordinances? I asked 100 citizens today what they thought of the proposal to regulate parking and all but one were really profane about it.

What we need is liberality with regard to visitors, customers, trade, NOT restrictions or regulations. Resldenter. Home-made CHERRY TARTS, special Thursday, 40c Home Bakery, tbc-lt 1 I By Robert S. Thornburgh (I. N.

it is coming in at the rate of six or seven tons a day, as the small sized green backs are placed in circulation. As tbe result of the avalanche of ones, fives, twenties and bigger de-i nominations, the treasury will be forced to abandon its usual plan of the converting the paper into jpulp through a mesceration pro cess. The excess will be burned in a specially constructed incinerat- i according to Chief W. H. Mor-j an.

of the secret service. The treasury asked the Navy Department for permission to burn a quantity of the old money at the jNavy yard because the incinerations at the Bureau of Engraving land printing were out of repair, but later it was found unnecessary to use the Navy facilities. Despite the fact that the pulp made from old paper money is a large per cent linen and very' un satisfactory tor paper mating yui-i poses treasury his discontin-! iued the practice of selling it. It (was explained that at the prices obtainable the government actually lost money on the transac- tions and it proved cheaper to dump the pulp, rather than pre- Pilre it for the market, Expert chemists of the Bureau of Standards and the treasury, however, are conducting research i i nn if. 1 CO Willi IliUUCJ IIUIW aa.

hu profitable use for the mterial Formerly manufacturers purchased the money pulp and converted it into toys, ornaments and other trinkets. Toy dogs and cats produced from the paper frequent ly represented several million dol- lars of old money. The treasury has a number of niascerators capable of converting several tons of paper money, cancelled bonds and stamps into pulp daily. It was thought probable that when the abnormal volume of cancelled money on hand resulting from the issue of small sized paper has been disposed of the treasury will revert to its usual masceration and that the pulp will be put to. some profitable i use.

Porto Rico has seen eight civil governors come and go, but the rn'ne, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, just inaugurated, was the first who ever Spanish, the beloved mother tongue of the people, for even part of his inaugural address. Colonel Teddy won the hearts of his new charges before he even set foot on the soil of Porto Rico, speaking as much as he could in Spanish to the reception committee. One of the sorest of the sore spots in the American administration of Porto Rico has been the insistence by various Commissioners of Education, upon imposing the use of English by the young people of the Island.

The Argo Jason's ship wlncli weni out ana secureu mc gold fleeze, and the Argonauts were the sailors on the ship achieving the golden triumph. The machinery on the steamer Argo not proving some changes were made. The Pittsburgh Poet, Sept.

1. 1856 stated that "The light draught steamer Argo raised steam on Saturday, Aug. 30th. Since her trial, she ha changed her boilers and is now supplied with two, of 36 inches diameter, and 16 feet length, with ihc. inittr at 3-30 in the afternoon.

Persons attending the great Mass Convention on the 10th instant will please notice." These boats were operating in this same manner until late in October when the Monongahela became too jlow for navigation. We find the following notice in the Pittsburgh IDispatch, Oct. .23. 1856: "Important to Travelers. A line of coaches will run between Brownsville and Pittsburgh during the suspension of navigation, via Beallsville.

The Pittsburgh Brownsville Packet Company had a new packet built for, the trade on the Monongahela River, in anticipation of the i completion of Locks and Dams No. 5 and 6, extending navigation on this river to New Geneva, about 85 miles above Pittsburgh. This was the steamer Telegraph, built at the.

boat yard of McFall Company, at California, Pa. She was, like the other regular packets, a large sidewheel steamer, and was known as a "lucky" boat, operating in the trade on the Monongahela River (for ten vears.

memor However, f( purposes of rci ord, here is tl story as I member it. When I lc Oklahoma I born and whe 1 learned to roj and ride, I brol into vaudevil doing a ropin act with no lin n.nu nnt thc footljgilts ami, without a won make mv rope sit up and do trick- As time went on teamed with a chap named Buck McK( and wc added a pony to our ac Thc big punch came near the en of the act when Buck rode full ti at mc and I roped the pony's leg winding up by tying Buck to tl: pony's off front leg. Now th; wasn't a bad stunt and would ha been surefire for a laugh cvei night except that sometimes tl rope failed to connect with tl pony's legs. One night after I had made ot of my occasional misses I said: "That's the wrong way. Now I show vou the right way." Well, that got a bigger laugh tin we ever got by going through tl act as it was supposed to be.

the manager gave mc orders miss with my rope and pull th gag every night. For variety sometimes changed thc gag. Even ually people who saw us sot tl idea neither one of us was any pot with thc rOpc, and that the who act was just a cover for my mom lost. So I had to build up my ga? more and more. And now hard anvbodv thinks 1 really am at sro'od with the rope.

Out here the Fox moving picture lot tin put mc to Work readily cnougli a part that called for one gag aft another but I'll bet if a scene car up where they needed a handy with a rope my number would I the one Ihcy would call.

Boosters should do as the newspapers do never stop boosting never halt for a minute, for if they slow up or let their enthusiasm wane, if they overlook any opportunity to better their city, it will give a set-back to those things so essential that they, have on the way. I was much interested in reading in the Rangoon, Burma, India, Times an address made by His Excellency, Sir Charles Innis, Governor of Burma, to graduates of the University of Rangoon.

In part the Governor said: "Once you have been taught to think, you gain experience. You have a chance of becoming what is known as a man of good judgement. Also you become more and more considerate of the opinions and mistakes of others, fr you find out for yourselves how difficult it is to acquire a right judgment in all things. 'We in the government are ac-. customed to criticism.

Indeed, ev- ery day of my life my chief secretary puts up to me the criticisms made in the press and- elsewhere of the Government of Burma, and I muH'them with ilue attention and isuch philosophy as I may. Some of them are valuable, some insin- cere, at least they seem to be so to me, and some again are a mere repetition of current political catchwords which in other coun tries, as well as Burma, are apt to take the trend of political thought. Criticize as much as you like but at least let your criticism be fair, informed and thought Much can be gained if we would stop and think more before we We are all too prone toj criticiie our state and national governments with careless words and without full knowledge of what we saw. It is always best to help make our government better. If we have to criticize, well thought out, constructive criticism Is best.

I I I DONIYOUPINK? till ORDMOU? Jyy SAGAxtkfySatfe Don't you think, or do you, that Charity loses much of its value, if there is no heart in it? We are giving our money to the work of charity all this week. The very small budget of $1200 should be well overpaid before the end of the campaign. For a community of this size to pay out only a hun dred dollars per month to relieve worthy need, seems pitifully small, The point that I want to make to day, however, is this The Ministry to the one in need, must have back of it a genuine touch of hu man affection If it is to he worth and was a boat of 183 tons bur-while. den.

To feed the lall beside those of the com hungry, to clothe the naked, to warm the home that is Cold is a fine piece of work. But it is only worth while if there be a touch of "heart" in it. There Vas formerly a comparison that comes to mind just now. It was this: "As cold as charity." But charity should not be cold. It should be as warm and pulsing i as the heart of the Great Giver.

No hiatter how small the gift, if the heart of the giver go not with it, it can accomplish little. With every basket of food there should go the feeling that those who gave i it have a real heart interest in the, poor and the needy, and would see lueiu ueiiei men cuiiuiiion, poa- sible. The smoothing of the brow of one in pain, is often of more real value than tho coal in the bin or the bread in the cupboard. What au nddrd relish comes to the taste of the food supplied by charity, if it is known that it was not given Just to get rid of the canvasser, but because there was a genuine love for those who were unfortunate in the hearts of the contributors. Of course there must be a degree of efficiency in the administration of the public need from the public purse, but let us see to ft that the fingers that give are not icy and the lieart cold with indifference.
