Debt is a great force waster, be
cause very few men or women can
be heavily in debt without worry

so deeply involved that it is im

take your bitter medicine at once,
and start again, no matter who
criticises or denounces you. Pay
your debt in full afterward, when
you are able. Get rid of all vitality
sappers. If you have taken an un
fortunate step, retrace it if you can.
If you have made a mistake, remedy
it as far as it is in your power to do
so; but when you have done your
best, let the thing drop forever.
Do not drag its skeleton along with
you. Never allow what is dead
and should be buried to keep bob
bing up and draining off your life
capital in worry or vain regrets.

Residence Destroyed by Fire
Fire yesterday morning destroyed
the home of S. H. Trump, on West
Third Street. The flames had
gained such a headway before it
was discovered that it was impos
sib e to save much of the furniture.
Only a few articles on the first floor
were gotten out.
It appears that the little four
year old daughter was allowed to
play with lamp lighters on the
second floor and threw one of the
flaming paper rolls into a wood box.
The kindling in the liox was ignited
which in turn communicated to the
building paper with which the wall
was covered and in a short time the
entire building was in flames.
Considerable delay in sounding
an alarm was occasioned by the
fact that an attempt to send it in
from the box near Con Cronin's
store failed. When the firemen
reached the scene, the building was
doomed.
The house was a two and a half
story frame building and was owned
and occupied by S. H. Trump.
There was no insurance on either
the house or goods, and Mr
Trump's loss will be quite heavy
Was Real Weather.
It was winter with a vengeance
last night. The thermometer hov
ered close to the zero mark and a
strong north west wind picked up
the loose snow which had fallen to
the depth of nearly a foot through
out the day, and carried it in huge
clouds through the air. It was the
most disagreeable night of the
winter. Both trolley companies
were kept busy with sweepers, and
succeeded in keeping the lines open
though traffic was considerably 1m
peded. The cars on the Danville
& Bloomsb-.irg line were stalled for
a time at Grovania and it required
nearly three hours last night to
come from Berwick on the Columbia
& Montour.
Railroad trains too were belated
by reason of the storm. On the P.
& R. Railroad over beyond Cata
wissa, the snow on the track, we
were informed by the trainmen this
morning, was fifteen feet deep, and
it required the power of two loco
motives to clean it away.

solved by the medicine. I am ready

SUDDEN DEATH-
Seized With Heart Failure Martin Kelly ol
Washlngtonvllle Fell Dead.
Martin Kelly, a well known resi
dent of Washiugtonville, fell dead
Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock
while returning from the grist mill,
operated by his sons, to his home
in that borough. Death was caused
by heart disease.
Mr. Kelly had for several years
been subject to attacks of heart
trouble, but of late had been in quite
good health, so that his sudden
death came as a great shock to his
family and many friends. He was
on his way home from the grist
mill, and had gone only a short
way when he tottered and fell. He
was carried into the hotel and Dr.
Hoffa summoned, but he was be
yond human aid, death having
been instantaneous.
The deceased was born April 10,
1835 iu Liberty township, and
spent the greater part of his life in
Montour county. At one time he
lived in Muncy. About sixteen
years ago he purchased the farm on
the DauTille-Washingtonville road,
now owned by Mrs. James Frazier.
He removed to Washingtonville
about aear ago.
He is survived by his wife and
five children, Mrs. Frank Marks,
Miss Emma Kelly, Jesse and Bruce
Kelly, Washingtonville and Mrs.
James Mowrer, of Athens.

If Teddy is Wise.
'Ti a war of devastaiion 'twixt the whis
kered Russian nation and the Japs of low
ly station for possession of some land ;
Many men are dead and dying, gun to ruoa
ater gun replying, and the faiherlesi are
crying grievously on ev'ry hand.
Bitter cold they are resisting, tortured ones
are writhing, twisting, other victims are
enlisting week by week and day by day.
But Port Arthur now has tumbled and the
Russian arms are humbled and the gun
of joy have rumbled to Tokio by the bay.
Now the pious agitators (lamp of peace illu
minators) urge we be alleviators froai
shimoso and the knout ;
But if Ted is wise or wiser he'll refuse to
be adviser ; till both nations say "Please
try, air," he will
keep
hands
out.
Whether Japs or Russians winsky, he who
rashly plays buttinsky skates where ice is
mighty thinsky, and he'd better bide
wee t
Either side may grow indignant at his effort
so benignant rail at him in terms malig
nant, mostly starting off with V.
When two families are fighting, cuffing, kick
ing, scratching, biting-all the neighbor
hood delighting with the scrap they're put
ting up.
Woe to him who is so eager and whose gusnp.
tion is so meager as to cause him to be
leaguer like a yapping terrier pup!
Both the parlies to the scuffle then will turn
with plumes a-ruflie and their first united
cuff'll turn Huttinsky to n scoff ;
So if Teddy, true as preachin, is as wise aa
we've been teachin', till both parlies start
beseechin', he will
keep
hands
off.
