"Well, 14 gentlemen nt once, then, .a finite of the fact that the average "SHE WAS SITTING ON A LOW CHAIR." Yiry had just about enough combined Itelligenee for one ordinary per- on." She was sitting on a low chuir, a tnd of ottoman, with her hands olded across her knees. More than year before she had returned from ollege, bringing honors, a live inter t in affairs and splendid health, ler father, the distinguished jurist ho had ascended to the bench after making a fortune in the practice of 'tis profession in which his leadership .as admitted by his entire state, "md expressed some surprise when nbe said she wanted to study law, 'ut it wim all arranged in a day :,nd she had proven not only an apt 'Kit an enthusiastic pupil. She looked .bout ns much like an attorney as 'ortia. She was tall, graceful and lenutiful, with light hair that was orever trying to escape its re traints, and with the kind of blue yes that see opportunities and find nt the best ways of encompassing . hem. It must be confessed that the xamination or cross-examination jhich followed wns somewhat out f the usual order. The attor ey, through Judge Matthew Stake, rdered witness Matthew Stake to ,'ive to the jury of 1U Mat ' hew Stakes nn account of his life. Vitness Stake did so in clenn-cut ingmige and in a pleasant, unruf ed voice. Witness Stake said the ollowing Wednesday would be his "fty-eighth birthday; he was born f a good family in straightened eir umst nnccs; he got his first eduea lon by home study; he afterwards might the district, school; he worked lis way along and managed to gain dmission to the bar by supporting timself by any kind of respectable mploynient that enme to hand; his leginning in law was unpropitious, nd he had a long struggle, but sue ess finally come; he made a eoni .'ortable fortune and was elected to he bench by both parties; j es, he vas married and he had one child, t daughter all this very solemnly, vith numerous details snugly fitted .nto the testimony. After Witness Stake had finished Mb recital. Judge Stake turned him lver to the nttorney for the cross examination. "I understand," she said, "that those were the days of racing and card playing and other kinds of swift sport and fast living. Of course, in your humble circumstances, you did not indulge In any of these things?" Witness Stake was startled, and did not answer, and an appeal was made to the Judge Stake that the ury needed the information, ".01 . . cfe I I eourse," she said, aweetly, "if the an swer would tend to degrade or In rr'uninate the witness, he need not BMwer." Hie witness relented nnd replied: "I did." "In how many of these forms of well recreation did you partici pate?" "I do not remember to have missed lny of them." "Were you in debt?" No answer, "I repeat the question: Were yon In debt?" "Yes." "How often?" No answer. "I repeat the question: how often? That Is, how often before yoursuecesa came?" "Always." "How deep?" 'Tause. "How deep?" "Head over heels." "Was it during this period of chron ic insolvency that you were married, or afterward?" "It was during the former era." "Is it not true that your present wife married you despite the pro test of her father, who thought your future too uncertain, ond did you not marry her knowing that he disap proved? If so, why did you do it?" "Itecause I loved her." "And what is still more important, why did sho consent to such a mar riage?" "Ilecause she had faith in me." "Vou spoke of your success in your profession. Please state for theben rfit of the jury at what time this success began?" "After she became my wife and when I settled down." The attorney was well satisfied with the work thus far, but nevertheless she pushed it further nnd brought out the incidents nnd the ntmosphcre of Witness Stake's career, putting flesh and life upon the skeleton of his formal testimony how hard and yet how sweet the first struggles of the parly married days, how glorious the coming of success and how love had blazed a way through all the hardships. Then she trespassed upon her priv ileges, nnd, to the astonishment and partly to the consternation of the judge nnd the jury, asked a few ques tions which seemed entirely irrele rnnt. "Do you know a person named Arn old Clark?" "I do." "Tell what you know of his charac ter in this community nnd of his stand ing nt the. bar." The witness demurred, but the at torney appenlpd to the judge, and after a somewhat heated nrgument, in which the witness and the judge and the jury showed considerable con fusion and agitation, the question was allowed. "I should sny that he has the charac ter of the average young man of his rircumstanees, which are not as pros perous as they might be, and that his standing at the bar would be better if " here the witness pnusef1. "If what? Continue, please." "Well, if " Tint before he could find the evnsions he wanted she clapped her hands in noisy glee, nnd supplied the words he desired to avoid, the words she intend ed should fit the void: "If somebody of the opposite sex had faith in him nnd he would settle down," and before Witness Stake knew what washappen ing, and before Judge Stake could in terfere, and before the jury of Stakes could grasp ther meaning of it all the fledging attorne' was hugging the witness, the judge ond the jury nnd calling oil sorts of nice names that were sworn to with kisses. It happened a moment later that a tall young man a little taller than the tall young woman ushered a motherly-looking lady into the room nnd blushed deeply as he said: "Judge, I have nlwnys tried to follow your pro fessional advice, especially in aiming at the highest possible court first. I J lJ ll l IS? WHAT, PLEASE." have plead my cuse, and Mrs. Stake has decided in my favor. I hope, hir, that" "Oh, never mind him," said the young woman. "The case has been tried in his court, too, nnd I have won. liy the' way, judge, did I do it? Did 1 get the atmosphere?" The judge took it kindly, but he nl wnys held that the court would have ruled differently if the jury had not token the cose out of his hands, ond he never failed to charge that the way the jury had been Influenced was very unfair and extremely unprofessional. Indeed, he said, the whole proceeding was distinctly irregular, even if it did hasten the ringing of the wedding bells.

Of Gen. James II. Wilson, one of the commissioners appointed President Koosevelt to represent the United States nt the coronation of King Ed ward, Mr. Dana wrote, under date of Cairo, 111., July 13, ISfi.1: Lieut. Col. Wilson, Inspector general. Is a captnln of engineers In the regulnr nrmy. and has rendered valuable services In that capacity. . . . He has remarkable tal ents and uncommon executive power, and will be henrd from hereafter. "(icn. Wilson abundantly fulfilled that prediction," said lirig. Gen. John F. Weston, commissary general of the nrmy, "I had the honor," continued Gen. Weston, "to serve on Gen. Wil son's staff during his famous cavalry campaign. In the opinion of his men nnd in the estimate of Grant himself, Gen. Wilson was a remarkably bril liant soldier, (icn. Wilson wns very young when made a cavalry command er. In fact, he was but 27 years of ngo when he assisted in the final tri umphs of the war." An officer in the war department at Washington, in the Philadelphia Sat urday Kvening Post, tells of nn inci dent in which the youth nnd the still more youthful appearance of Gen. Wil son during the civil war almost led a distinguished cvloni 1 to send in his resignation. "It is nn interesting bit of unwritten history," said the officer who relates the story. "Shortly after Grant had put Gen. Wilson in clinrce of a large force of cavalry and vt Hie his brilliant exploits were being heralded throughout the country, ("id. was transferred front the army of the Potomac and as signed to duly under Gen.

It was in August, and the general, in white duck, entirely divest ed of military emblems, was keeping cool in a hummock where he was dili gently studying a topographical mnp. Somehow the colonel, who hnd never met Wilson, got it into his head that this youth was a newspaper corre spondent and. so believing he did not hesitate to address him familiarly, say ing that he hnd arrived only the night before nnd had, he feared, tarried too long at the wassail bowl. " 'I understand,' added the colonel, 'that Gen. Wilson is very strict about thnt sort of thing.' , " 'The general, replied Gen. Wilson, suppressing his amusement over the colonel's unwitting confession, 'seeks to impress his officers with the neces sity of keeping their faculties clear for possible emergencies ut any hour.' '"Do you think,' persisted the hap less colonel, 'thnt my appearance would betray me?' "'Only to the practiced eye,' re sponded the general, 'but I should ad vise you to walk around a little while before reporting.' "The colonel took his ndvioe and after awhile returned. When he dis covered that the youth he had seen In the hammock was in reality the dash ing cavalry leader, the colonel was in a worse condil ion than he had been the night before, but theeneral put him at his ease after exactingn pledge that he would not drink again, except on a physician's order, while the war lasted."

The average man pays little attention to the "special cable " lines and reads the stirring news without a thought to the cost of it. When it is known that cable messages from Fort de France cost $2.15 a word and urgent messages $6.45 for every word, some conception can be had of the cost of covering this calamity. But this is not all. There are the tugs, the special men and the photographers. All this mounts into the thousands, but, after all, the big papers in New York and Philadelphia feel that it is worth it, and no expense has been spared to get this immense story.

Everybody knows Rohrsburg is nestled in a beautiful valley that extends to Mill ville and beyond. Her people are as intelligent and enterprising as any town of its size; two good stores, a machine shop, two blacksmith shops, twj doctors, a millinery and mantat making emporium connected with the post office, a buggy and carriage vend er and other enterprises. On Monday night of last week Rev. Dr. Hemingway of Bloom., preached here an able and beautiful sermon in the Tresbyterian church, and on Tues day night lectured finely on his trip to England, Ireland and Scotland two years ago He will set sail for the old world soon again. lie is an excellent pulpit orator. Geo. Appleman has been selling some fine buggies lately. Mr. Ash who has been a great rail roader and has seen much of our America is succeeding finely raising plants and garden vegetables notwith standing the dry weather. Dr. Mathers has been burning some new ground. On Sunday last it was apprehended that neighboring build ings and woods would catch tire, but no damage was done. The Doctor is busy as a Veterinary Surgeon. Dr. Follmer is busily engaged with his patients. Merchant Potter will not move west, but will remain selling goods, he has a good stock on hand. So has Mr. Utt. Rev. Dr. Evans Presiding Elder preached an excellent sermon in the M. E. church on last Sabbath. "Johnny" Lemon is gathering muck from a broad ditch on his excellent farm that will contribute largely to his farm next season. Johnny" is one ol the enterprising farmers in this valley. Ex-Postmaster Mellick of Blooms burg paid us a pleasant visit last week. Oh, for rain, or ruin will follow in the way of horti and agriculture. Rhorsburg needs an accommodat ing hotel keeper. Glad that Commander Bright is convalescent. That smile of Bruce in Utt's store and his winning ways are justiiht for the femininity of Rhorsburg. Rev. Phillips can make a fine suit of clothes as well as preach a sermon. He turns out excellent garments. The large bond house of John G. McHenry almost completed is worthy of especial mention. Capable of holding hundreds of barrels and thous ands of gallons. Built by his own model of his own conception with aisles along the tiers so that any leak age is readily ascertained; three stories tor the barrels and 6 tiers to each story and the barrels to be piled up ad infinitum.

Bow man orate on Memorial night. He had walked in the morning from Ber wick to Rhorsburg and became over heated and fell into the hands of Dr. Follmer so that he was unable to speak at night according to arrange ment. He will speak on the after, noon of July 4th in a nearby grove. Those who have heard the oration privately pronounce it a fine effort. We.hope this will suffice for explana tion and that a large attendance will be on hand on the 4th. The Diamond Glee Club rendered fine music on the evening of Memo rial day. They will play here on July 4th at the rendering of the oration. Charles Johnston is a prosperous farmer midway between Rhorsburg and Stillwater. The old gentleman Appleman has turned cut an excellent cider press that will find a ready market if the apple crop proves profitable the com ing autumn. If some people of Rohrsburg were as tardy being born as going to church they would be gray and bald headed by the time they got here. Millions Tor fertilizers. Colonel Edg Slyt Pcnniylvania Spend For tune! Every Year The Beef Supply. Colonel Thomas J. Edge, former secretary of agriculture, says the farmers of Pennsylvania are spending about $4,750,000 annually for com mercial festilizers. In this respect they are only exceeded by the farmers of Georgia, who expen.led $5,738,820 for fertilizers last year, as against $4,68s,q2o apent by the farmers of this state. "There has not been a time within, the last thirty or more years,' con tinued Colonel Edge, "hen it would not pay to feed good cattle for beef. It is true that some seasons the profit was greater than others, but in order to obtain the profit of the business aa average must be taken. The better class of animals, those fit for export trade, have always commanded good prices, and will lor many years to come. Much has been said and written about the beef trust increasing the price of beef, and such may have been one of the factors which has produced the increase in prices which we now meet with, but the fact remains that good animals have each year lor the last eight or ten years been becoming scarcer and scarcer, and are not now to be had in numbers sufficient to supply the demands of the market. This will most likely continue lot several years, as the supply of cattle cannot be increased much under two or three years.'' The Clothes Moths- The common Clothes Moths Tinea ptllioiiella am! Tineolo bhelliella are small moths with pale ochre-yellow heads and a wing expanse of about half an inch. In the larval state they feed upon all kinds of animal products Woolen goods, carpets furs, feathers, hair, linings and upholsterings, and skins of birds and animals. The larva is worm-like, with a dull whitish head and the upper part of the next seg ment of a reddish-brown color. It remains concealed in a rase made tf the material on which it feeds and lined with silk which it spins. Thef inflict their injury during the summer months and in houses that are heated they tlso feed during the winter. The life history of a Clothes Moth is as follows: The eggs are laid ia the early part of the summer on the fabrics to be eaten and in concealed places. The larvoe soon hatch and feed, making their case larger as thef grow. The winter is passed in the larval state within the case, and in the early spring the larva transforms into a pupa. In the spring, often in May, the adult moth emerges and lays its eggs. The small moths that are at tracted to lights at night are not clothes moths, as the latter fly mostly by day and are in dark closets at night. With these insects preventatives are more important than remedies. Ma terial that would be infested should be packed away tightly in closed trunks or boxes with sprigs of cedar, camphor or naptha balls, and scaled with strips of paper over the cracks before the eggs are laid on the labrics in the spring. If the eggs are laid be fore the garments are packed they will! hatch and feed. Tight paper or linen bags will also keep out the pests and sealed boxes are not then needed. When the insects have once ap peared they can be killed by very dense fumes of tobacco smoke or pra tuse odors of spirits of turpentine io tightly closed rooms for twenty-four hours. A spray of benzine is als effective, but after its use rooms must be aired well before taking a light in to them. Helen D. Musser, '03, P. S. C.

Potato Crop Good New potatoes are arriving on the local markets in large quantities aal are of good size. The prices, how ever, are high. The local product will not be received for some time yet and the dealers say they are un able to tell at present if the prices of potatoes will be lower this year than last. The indications are that a eood crop will be raised if there is rain i the near future, as the drought his not injured their growth as yet. OAST OXlXu.. Bean the The Kind Vou Have Always Buns I., 'VI
