Mrs Stephen fohe.
After a patient illness of long
standing, Mrs. Stephen Polie de
parted this life at her home in Espy
early Sunday morning at the age
of seventy-one years. Mrs. Pobe's
ill-health had its beginning several
years ago and she has been under
the care of a physician nearly all of
the time. Mr. Pohe is her second
husband, he with two children
Mrs. Daniel Hughes of Espy and
II. S. Pohe, of Bloomsburg, sur
vive. Harvey and Rush Hess, of
Berwick, children by her first mar
riage, are also living, together with
the iollowing step children: George
?ohe, of Chicago; Charles Pohe, of
Catawissa; Joseph Pohe, of Sandus
ky, Ohio and Mrs. S. A. Lutz, ot
Bloomsburg. The funeral took
place from the house yesterday
afternoon. Interment was made
iu the Almcdia cemetery.
The Weekly Faper is the Best Advertising
Medium-
A contemporary has been vigor
ously sounding the advantages of
the daily paper as -an advertising
medium, but it fails to give any
reasons. All who want to believe
I this argument can do so, of course,
but the merchant who fails to ad
vertise in the weekly papers is cutt
ing himself off from family patron
age. The daily papers are hastily
skimmed, then thrown aside. The
weekly paper is read, re-read, and
kept for reference. Women are the
most profitable patrons of the stores
and few women glance at more than
the marriage and death notices in a
daily paper. Besides the advertis
ing rates ot tne weeklies are so
much cheaper that the merchants
can explain more fully what they
have to offer. These observations
are addressed to merchants, but
they are equally applicable to all
advertisers. We do nol say this be
cause the Columbian is a weekly,
but because the reasons advanced
will commend themselves to every
one who gives the matter any
thought. Not to advertise in the
weekly papers is to cut yourself off
Irom family patronage that is the
plain truth iu a happy epigram.
GAME COMMISSION NEEDS MONEY.
Number of Important Prosecutions on Hand
With Nothing To Secure Counsel.
The Board of Game Commission,
ers needs money badly and its mem
bers are making efforts to secure
funds through donations from sports
men throughout the commonwealth.
J. Q. H. Denny, of Ligonier, has
been placed in charge of the work of
raising the money required and is
sending appeals to the various asso
ciations of sportsmen which have
manifested an interest in the work of
the board.
The appropriation from the state is
but $1,500 per year, and this barely
pays the salary of the clerk and post
age. The expenses for prosecutions
for violation of the game laws mu6t
be defrayed from the fines collected
and contributions from those who
want game protected.
At present the board has a number
of important cases on hand and its
finances are depleted, at least $1,000
being needed. The defendants in
the cases have retained excellent at
torneys and equally good legal talent
is needed by the board.
An Enemy of the Peach-
The peach season is opening up in
this state, but the indications are that
the crop will be small, reaches have
been tailing for a month or more and
no person seemed to know the cause.
It is now discovered that the curculio,
a special enemy of the plum, is attack
ing the peach and apple. The insect
lays its eggs in the fruit and torcei
them into the hearts.
Sheep Murders Active
It is learned that in addition to
killing a Mexican sheep herder named
Sam Ctallaxan near Landers, Wyo.,
and slaughtering several thousand
sheep, a band of 150 masked men
has surrounded all the sheep camps
and forced the sheep men to abandon
their flocks.
After killing one herd of 3,000
sheep, twenty five other herds,
amounting to about 65,000 sheep,
were driven into the mountains and
Wft to shift lor themselves.
The sheep men have been threat
ened with instant death if they go
after their flocks. The sheep are now
the prey of wild animals and the loss
will be very heavy.
The scene of the lawlessness is 115
mihs west of Landers, in Fremont
county. The militia may be called
out to protect the sheep men.
Checks as Autographs.
Why Mr. Kipling's Bank Account Showed
Big Balance,
An experiment once tried by Kip
ling for the purpose of checking house
hold expenses had a somewhat differ
ent result than was anticipated. He
opened a small account at a local
bank in order to pay every bill with a
cheque. Many of the cheques were
for very small amounts, and the shrewd
shopkeepers soon discovered that they
could get more for the cheques from
autograph collectors than from the
bank. The consequence was that at
the end c the month Mr.Kipling's bank
account showed a bigger balance than
the counterfoils of his cheque book
This puzzled him very much, until he
happened one day to call at an office
where the head was an enthusiastic
autograph collector, and found one of
his cheques framed and hanging on
the wall.
Home Love is the Best-
Some Real Good Advice to Young Women
An exchange says: lHome love is
the best love. The love that you are
born to is the sweetest you will ever
have on earth. You, who are so
anxious to escape from the home nest.
pause a moment and remember that
this is so. It is richt that the hour
should come when you in your turn
become a wife and a mother and give
the best love to others; but that will
bs just it. Nobody not a lover, not
a husband will ever be so tender or
so true as your mother and father.
Never again, after strangers have
broken the beautiful bond, will there
be anything so sweet as the little
circle of mother, father and children
where you were cherished, protected
praised and kept trom harm.
You may not know it now but you
will know it some day. Whomsoeve
vou marry true and good though h
may be, will, after the lover days are
over and the honeymoon has wanned
give you only what you deserve of love
and sympathy and usually much less.
never more. You may watch and be
wary, lest you lose that love which
came in through the eyes because the
one who looked thought you beautiful
But those who bore you loved when
you were that dreadful little object,
beby, and thought you exquisitely
beautiful and wonderfully brilliant
thev do not care for faces that are
fairer and form that are more graceful
than yours. You are their very own
and so better to them always than
others.
Treat Your Horse Humanely-
During the hot weather horsemen
should pay particular attention to their
horses. These animals are often reined
up so tightly by the short bearing or
check rein that their flexor muscles
have no play at all. It is sheer torture
to keep them so, hour after hour,
merely to give a stylish appearance.
To drive without any check line is un
practicable, a number have tried it,
but have abandoned it. The horse
gets his head in the dust and dirt, and
soon presents a sorry appearance.
However a plea is entered for a loose
check rain. Horses are so-faithful
that gratitude as well as seifinterest
should be on the side of kindness.
Now that the heat is iutense attention
should be given to the watering of
horses.

TALK
ITS CARE.
A good wutth is like a good horse. Treat it right and it will serve you
well for years. Neglect it and you wiH shorten its days of usefulness. Good
treatment consists of regularity in winding and cleaning and oiling. Always
wind it in the morning. Your time of rising is moie regular than your time of
retiring. You carry your watch during the day and it needs the full strength
of the mainspring. Don't let it run without attention till it stops. Choose
some day of the year your birthday is easy to remember End have it cleaned
and oiled regularly on that day. It doesn't take much oil to satisfy a watch,
but when it does need, it needs badly. Carry gocd dust proof case and never
open the back. Always have a watch maker regulate it. He won't charge
you for doing it and he knows just how. I!y following these mles a good
movement will last you a life time. When you're done with it it will still be a
good time keeper for your boy and your boy's boy to carry in turn,
