sm —— — Spring Mills. C. P. Loong is still confined to his bed and apparently does not improve very rapidly. A. C. Dunlap has placed above the win- dow of his tonsorial parlor aud jewelry store & new and very handsome sign. Jeremiah Allbright bas obtained the posi- tion of taaveling salesman for the Danville. Spice Co,, in Penns and Georges valleys. His route is quite an extended one, which be goes over every ten days to supply cus tomers from the wagon. Mr. Allbright is an able salesman, affable and pleassnt and vo doubt will do a large business. A few old women and long haired men in about every community are waiting patient: ly to see what his hogship will do on his entrance into daylight. Whether he will remain out to eat mud balls or seeing his shadow, or possibly a broomstick coming towards him, cause him to skedaddle hack again. That, of course, these old women and long haired men say, means six weeks more of winter weather—perhaps. The western approach to the toot walk on the new iron bridge over Peuns creek bas been pui down in a very substantial manner and extends quite a distrnce along the road: The work was done by road master Andrew Corman, formerly one of our able supervi- sors, a man who knows exactly what kind of rounds the traveling public require, and when in office the roads under his supervis fon were never better before nor since. Quite a cold snap here on Monday last, high and very cold winds all day. If the adage of ‘as the days lengthen the cold strengthens,” could be changed to as the days grow longer the weather gets warmer, the prospects would be decidedly more agree: able. But the ice queston, that is becoming quite a serious one. January about making an exit and no ice secured, not a pound, and only about six weeks remain in which there is aus likelihood to obtain any. The weath er with the exception of now and then for a day or two has beeu quite mild all winter and likely to continue so. Of course the out- look for a large crop does not look very flut- tering. Still doubtful things are very un- certain, MARRIAGE LicENsES.— The following marriage licenses were issued the past week by Register Earl C. Toten.

Ridge of her tawny back brush- ed up in rage, tall a-switch, steel sin- ews rigid beneath soft skin, she glared nt her four cubs in the cage corner. A fluffy ball of spotted fur sprawled on unsteady legs across toward her. Out shot a mighty fore paw; the baby was hurled suddenly back among his cowering brothers and sisters. “Nasty temper,” 1 remarked to the keeper. “Has she been long like that?" “Started this forenoon.” He shook his head in anxiety. “I don't like it. I'll have to separate them, | fear.” The unnatural mother commenced pacing her prison, sparring viciously at her offspring in passing. Three huddled together in a pitiful heap, but one stood up and defied her. A jungle terror in miniature. his tiny rage was magnificent. Tensely alert before his trembling mates, he shifted warily to meet each blow, dodging. spitting, striking out an awkward paw at the great thrusts. “They don't turn on their cubs often.

The prosecution began its evidence in rebuttal and the case should go te the jury by Wednesday night or Thursday noon. District Attorney Jerome disappoint. ed a crowded courtroom when he re frained from his tactics of last year in baiting the expert witnesses for the defense, three of whom—Drs. Wagner, Evans and Jellife—declared that Thaw at the time he killed Stanford White was suffering from such a de fect of reason as not to know the na- ture or quality of his act or that the act was wrong. The prosecutor con- tented himself with drawing from the allenists the fact that last year they swore it was during a “brain storm” that Thaw committed the homicide. He also read from the affidavits made by Dr. Wagner before the lunacy com- | mission last year giving conversations | had with Thaw in court which tended | to show that the defendant had a dis tinct recollection of occurrences on the roof garden immediately preced- ing the tragedy. It was left to Justice Dowling to make a most important inquiry of the allenists. He desired to know the ex- act nature of “manic-depressive” in- sanity, and if the attacks were likely to recur. He also asked If a person suffering from this form of Insanity | would be likely to commit assaults, He learned that it was a recurrent | form of mental disorder, the attacks | coming suddenly and without warning, i a period of insanity being followed hy | a maniacal outburst, then by a period of complete depression and them by | another lucid interval.

Poo little chap of a puma. he surely had tremendous pluck!—Travel Magazine. Moores island, the Happiest and Fair- est Spot on Earth. Hugo Parton, writing in the Outing Magazine, says that the happiest and mest beautiful spot on earth today is the island of Moorea, one of the Society islands, in the south seas, As a con- this description sounds alluring: “Whenever you are thirsty a word will send a lithe brown body scram- bling up a tall palm tree trunk, and in two minutes a green cocoanut is ready for you to quaff—the nectar of the Poly- nesian gods. It is worth the trip down here to eat the native ‘vittals,' for you get at every meal things you never tasted before, and each seems better than its predecessor: to see your din- per of fresh water shrimps. sharks’ fins and roasted sea urchins. The ba- nanas you eat—there are eleven varie- ties—baked, raw, fried, dried—grow a few rods back in the valley; ditto the breadfruit, the pineapples and about everything else on the board.

They are a large race, both men and women being noticeably taller and more fully de veloped than Anglo-Saxons. I doubt if any Society islander ever went through a whole day in his life without having a wreath of flowers on his head or a blossom behind his ear. The love of flowers is innate with man, woman and child. They can't pass through a patch of woods without emerging with a gar land. Every gay mood calls for flow: ers on thelr hats, in their hair, behind their ears, and their life is an almost unbroken sequence of gay moods. Scarcely a native on the Island of Moorea can speak a sentence of Eng- lish, but every one you meet greets you with a courteous smile and the wel coming word ‘la-ora-na’ (Yorana).” Poetry Defined. George P. Morris, the author of “Woodman, Spare That Tree,” was a general of the New York militia and a favorite with all who knew him. Mrs, Sherwood in her reminiscences tells how another poet associated the gener- al with a definition of poetry. Once Fitz-Greene Halleck, the author of “Marco Bozzaris,” called upon her in New York in his old age, and she asked him to define for her what was poetry and what was prose. He replied: “When General Morris commands his brigade and says, ‘Sol- diers, draw your swords!” he talks prose. When he says ‘Soldiers, draw your willing swords! he talks poetry.” A Bargain. “What!” exclaimed the husband.

Baltimore, Jan. 24.—Attributing the action to depression in business re- sulting in largely decreasing railroad earnings, the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road company announces a reduction of ten per cent. in the pay of all offi- cers and employes receiving over $166 per month, and bringing down to $150 all monthly salaries between $150 and $166 per month, this becoming effec- tive Feb. 1. The reduction will apply to all officers from president down. No change is made in pay of the large number of clerks and other employes receiving $150 or less a month, but it {s understood that should further measures of economy be required, a revision of the rate of pay of all other employes will become a matter neces- sary consideration.
