Those who ride in buggies, on bicy

member that in crossing a street or
highway the person on foot has the
right of way. The law says so, and

ones to look out for a clear track.

at Philadelphia got out of the box in
which it had just arrived, on Sunday.and
when an attendant tried to capture it,
the reptile coiled about his body, and
would have crushed him but for a
trained pony which attacked the snake
with its fore feet. This drew the at
tention of the snake from the man to
the pony, and the latter had the life
crushed out of it. The man will re
cover. The engagement of Miss Stella,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry

of our leading musicians. As a violin
ist he has brought out a degree of

Just as

made by the druggist when Scott's
Emulsion Is called for. This shows
that the druggists themselves regard
Emulsion
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos
phites of Lime and Soda as the
standard, and the purchaser who
desires to procure the " standard "
because he knows it has been of
untold benefit, should not for one
instant think of taking the risk of
using some untried prepa
ration. The substitution
of something said to be
"just as good" for a stand
&rd nrtoaration twentv
five years on the market,
should not be permitted by
the intelligent purchaser.

LITERARY NOTES.
Uhristmas With an Emperor
The Christmas Ladies' Home
Journal tells how the German Em
peror, with the Empress and the Royal
family, spend Christmas Day with
their children. The article is written
by Mr. Nagel von Brawe, an at'ache
of the Court, who was permitted to be
present at the celeoration last Christ
mas in order to write this article. The
pictures were made "on the spot,"
and approved by the Emperor.
Sullivan's "Lost Chord"
The hrst correct copy of Sir Arthur
Sullivan's great song, "The Lost
Chord," ever printed in America,
direct from the composer's own hand,
will appear in the Christmas number
of The Ladies' Home Journal. Over
his signature Sir Arthur Sullivan states
that of the millions of copies of "The
Lost Chord" sold in America, all are
incorrect, and that this is the first
accurate copy of the song ever pre
pared by him, or for which he ever
received a penny of payment. The
complete music and words of Sir
Arthur's copy of the song, expressly
for The Ladies Home Journal will be
given.
We have received from Hon. Wm.
T. Creasy a summary of the game
laws of Pennsylvania. For the benefit
of those who are not aware that there
is a fine for hunting on Sunday, we
publish the following: "It is unlawful:
To shoot or hunt on Sunday j penalty
$25.00. To kill any song or insectiv
orous birds, or destroy any of the
nests or eggs, except for scientific
purposes. Permits to collect game,
mammals, birds, nests and eggs must
be obtained from the Game Com
missioners. Juniata county's peach crop was
the largest this year in her history.
There were shipped from the three
stations of Mifflin, Port Royal and
Thompsontown, in all 219.237 crates
of peaches, and it is estimated that
the entire crop amounted to 225,000.
The average price received per crate
was 50 cents. This would bring into
that county at least $100,000.
