Because the husks on the corn
are very thin it is said that we are
to have an open winter. Because
the weeds are so high it is said the
snows will be many and deep. Thus
do the signs of the times conflict
and leave the unweatherwise to
abide what comes with the con
sciousness that whatever it may be
will be best for us.
The Market street bridge across
the Susquehanna at Wilkes-Barre
was opened to free travel Saturday.
This is the successful culmination
of the efforts of the Wilkes Barre
Automobile Club to free the bridges
of Luzerne county, and eliminate
all toll roads. About 1500 vehicles
and some 8000 people cross the
bridge each day. Efforts are now
Under way to have other bridges
freed. .

Judge Staples thinks it is strain
ing at gnats to send farmers to jail
'or snaring suckers, when great of
fenders go free and he refused to
send a man to jail for the offense.
He is opposed to the game laws
and thinks they should be repealed,
except the law against dynamiting
streams, or forbid every one fishing
for a time. We agree with Judge
Staples that our game laws are un
necessary harsh, and, in some re
spects, foolish. Why should a man
be jailed for selling fish or other
game that he has taken, providing
he did not take any more fish or
Kaine than the law allowed ? Ac
cording to our game laws no man
out a sporting man can have any
fish or venisou. Still it is the bus
iness of a judge to enjorce the law.

A Haunted Caetln.
The prince royal of Denmark had
curious experience some thirteen
years ago while he and hla father
and mother the present king and
queen- were staying at a castle, which
bad a reputation for "hauntlngs."
One evening, after dinner, hs went
out to another room to And some
thing which he wanted. There wa
po eloctrlc light, and so he took an
ordinary candle. In a short time he
came back pale and trembling, say
ing that the room waa full of armed
men, who had barred his entry and
put out his light.
Much disturbed, the present king
of Denmark rouaed the household,
told them to arm themselves, and
bring lights. Then he led them to
the suspected room, and, flinging the
4oor suddenly open, called on those
within to surrender.
There was nothing within but dark
ness and silence. Moreover, thre
seemed, no possible way by which
such a body of men as the prince
described could have entered and es
caped unseen. Yet the prince per
sisted In his story.
Different color was imparted to It
by an experience which occurred to
his mother now queen of Denmark
Bhortly after. She was sitting writ
ins in her boudoir in the evening am
id a blaze of candles when suddenly
she became awure of a figure all In
white In an antique style standing in
the room near the door.
The door was not open, and ha
hud not heard it open or shut. The
figure gazed at her fixedly, but did not
STQak: and at first she was too spell
bound to speak, but event'ially she
called out to know who or what the
Intruder was.
Receiving no answer to her Inquiry,
she sprang up to ring the boll, and
then she hhw the figure turn and walk
deliberately and slowly through the
closed door. M. A. P.
A Carpet of Ivory.
The carpet, at a dlstanci, seemed or
cream-colored silk, but as the Indian
merchant unrolled It, It rattled slight
ly, for It was a carpet of Ivory.
"An Ivory carpet." said the sallow
and thin denier, "It does not belong
to nie, but to a certain rajah. He
has commissioned me to sell It to one
of vour Pittsburg millionaires, whoso
wealth nd liberality are world-re
nowned. What a Christmas present
It would make!"
The carpet, though heavy, was quit
flexible. It glistened like satin. It
was eight feet long and six feet wide,
"Over 6 000 pounds of tusks were
required tor this carpet," said th
Indian. "Only the finest parts could
be used. The strips were shaven
singularly thin. See how flexible they
are. 1
"Only three such carpets exist, and
thev all belong to India. The largest
and best. Is In the treasury of the Mih

CURIOUS MISSOURI FARM.
No Fence Required Wheeled Vehi
cle Never Upon It,
Within sight of the town of Jas
per. Mo.. In the Ozarks, a settler has
k rarm which probably la unlike any
other In the world.
This farm occupies the table land
on the summit of a ridge and Is en
closed with a fence which no animal
has ever broken through. It 'does not
rise above the surface of the farm,
but falls sheer from the edge a dis
tance of many feet. The man who
homesteaded the tableland had a
hard climb up the perpendleular ellff
to roach the comparatively level sum
mit. At one point a ledge extends out
a few Inches and along the face of
the cliff at an upward grade. By fol
lowing this ledge and making use of
occasional points of rocks and of
shrubs growing In the fissures the
dUcoverer pulled himself to the sum
mit and found a surface well covered
with soil and a luxuriant vegetation.
Gradually he improved the ledge
until he could carry up tools and
seed. By blasting and drilling he
cleared a narrow trail up which he
was able to take first some pigs and
then a cow. Later on he took up a
horse.
And that to-day Is the condition of
the curiously protected farm. No
vehicle has turned a wheel within
Its limits of palisades. The live
stock has multiplied and consumes
the grain raised. Some stones
thrown across the trail completely
fence In the hogs and cattle. When
the larmer has stock to sell he drives
the animals down the private trail
and strikes the road to Jasper.
