We go to press one day early ibis week on account of Thanks giving. I,et the contributions for the poor at this Thanksgiving time be liberal ones. .- Von say you have nothing to be thankful for? If that is the case you ought to be thankful that no body has taken you out into the back yard, and hit yon in the heid with an ax. Any man who has nothing whatever to thank the Lord for, is not fit to live. Commissioner Hunter, of the State Hignway bureau, in his an nual report tells of 325 utiles of new roads having been built up to looN, at a cost ol over ,000,000. He will recommend that about poo.oco be appropriated annually lor the State highways. , . m Too much religion is given by Geo. F. Kehrig' of Scranton, as i his ground for seeking a divorce from his wife, Mamie, to whom he ! was married seven years ago. So intense was her zeal in church work that she neglected her home duties, it is alleged. Kehrig says that his wife would start out sometimes at 9 o'clock, and would -not return until mid night. In the meantime he had to prepare his own meals. His efforts to convince her that a wife's first duty is to her family have been unsuccessful, he asserts, and as a last resor; he has applied for a di vorce. The Muncy Luminary has been figuring up the cost of the late election to Lycoming county. It says: "When all the bills contract ed during the past campaign in Lycoming county are settled the total will not fall far short of $3600.

Throughout the county 56 is the average. There were over 17, 000 votes polled ou November 3, and estimating the expense to the county will be $3600, the average expense for each vote cast was about 20 cents.

Both Telephone. 5.7.6m Had to Pay for the Wine. Fourteen defendants and thirty five witnesses crowded into the office of Justice of the Peace Tier uey in Northumberland on Friday evening to explain and settle the mystery of the disappearance of twenty-five gallons of wine from the rear porch of the residence of Morris Zohn on election night. Zohn is a foreigner, employed in the hat and cap factory in North umberland. This fall he tmde a large quantity of wine, which he put on his back porch to acquire flavor with age. He had it in two casks one of five gallons and the other of twenty. He added three gallons of whiskey to make it of additional excellence. After the returns were in on e lection night there was a crowd of young men who wanted to cele brate, but who were barred from such pleasure by the fact that the law compels the closing of saloons 011 election day. Learning of the beverage stored on Zohn's back porch they appropriated it and dis posed of it. In this pleasant task they were seen by numerous P'Tsor.s. Fourteen of the crowd were identified although there were many more with them. The evidence was sd overwhelm ing that they made 110 defense and settled the case by paying for the stolen wine.

Woman's Home Companion for Christmas. The Christmas number of Il'c iitiu's Jlome Companion is one of the most beautiful of the holiday magazines. Its cover is in blue and gold depicting the Madonna and Child. There is a beautiful painting in color by James Mont gomery Flagg, occupying a full page. Another delightful and unique feature consists of two big pages of old-fashioned Christmas Carols, with decorations by Ernest Haskell. For the Christmas Jloroan's Home Companion, Edwin Markham has written a most beautiful poem, "Before the Gospels Were." it tells the story of the gathering of the materials for the gospels by the disciples after Christ's ascension. ' Before the Gospels Were" is greater than "The Man With the Hoe It is, perhaps, the greatest poem of the generation. It is seldom that a magazine even a Christmas magazine offers stories by such an array of great writers as will be found in the De cember Companion Josephine Das- kam Bacon, Anna Katharine Green, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Morence Morse Kingsley, Juliet Wilbor Tompkins. Above all else, the women read er will find here a magazine of Christmas helps hundreds of sug gestions for the attractive and unique gifts; ideas for the table; for making delicious candies; new neckwear; embroidery; fashions an almost bewildering array of practical Christmas suggestions. . . --- Eat Apples. A medical man declares that annlx is such a common frnit that very few persons become famil iar Wltll Its meuieiiiiu progenies. The best thing just before going to bed, he says, is to eat an apple. J. erSOHS nnmiuuicu 111 111c jnys- teries of the fruit," he continues, "are likely to throw up their hands in horror at the visions of dyspep sia which such a suggestion may summon up, but no harm can come even to a delicate system by the eating of a ripe and juicy apple just before goh'g to bed. The apple is excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid in easily digested shape than any other fruit. It excites the actiou of the liver, romotes sound sleep and thorough y disinfects the mouth. This is not all; the apple prevents indiges tion and throat disease." The Needs of The Countryside. Within the next fortnight PresU dent Roosevelt's Country Life Commission asks the farmers of the country to meet in their re spective communities to consider what they need and indicate their ideas of the most important sub jects for the commission to consid er. A reorganization is plainlv near of the relations between rural com munities, where taxation steadily grows, city communities, where wealth grows more and more con centrated, and the Government, both State and Federal, both of which have given more attention to and spend more money in cities than in rural communities. One great difference between rural communities in European countries and in the United States is that the farm is left mori com pletely to rely on its own resources iu this country. In ICngland-and this is true of most European coun triesthe central government main tains a police which networks with its patrols the who'e countryside. The expenses of this police are onid ouly in part by rural regions. The central government gives large aids to roads and to education out of the general treasury, which aids both highways and schools along every farm. In Germany, the country schoolhouses are limit or aided by the national treasury at every point. The farm gains aid in other civi lized countries from the taxation of wealth. The ouly aid extended here from general taxation has hitherto been grants for education by States, and of late for roads. Rural regions pay a larger share of the expense of both in this coun try than in Europe, which is one reason why coun ry roads are bet ter abroad than here. Iu addition, a large advance has been made in the knowledge of ag riculture dining the last thirty years, which Ins not y.t reached the farm. The Federal Govern ment has already shown what cm be done by forest reservations to aid rural regions to care for their own resources. It ought to be possible, especially in this State, to secure bjtli a larger aid for schools, roads and rural interests and to bring the knowledge of in tensive agriculture near the farm, partly by the action of the Federal Government, but still more in a State of tlv; wealth of Pennsylvan ia, through th. State itself. Fhila. I'ress. New York to Philadelphia in an Hour Close on the heels of the electri fication of the Pennsylvania from Harrison, a Newark suburb to Long Island City, comes the official state ment that the system from Man hattan and Jersey City to Philadel phia will also be electrified, and that the runniug time between New York and Philadelphia svill be re duced to one hour. The Westinghouse Co. is already at work on the new engines, which are capable of a speed of 130 miles an hour. An official of the Westinghouse Co. at Newark stated last week that it would take but a short time to completely electrify the entire New York division, and that the work will be started simultaneously from both ends. It is also said that the next step in the genera! electrification scheme will be started on the division of the road between Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Both the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western system are considering making the changes. "THE RING AND THE MAN."

Era- Kellogg Durland, who has spent many months in Russia, is writing for Il'omrn's Home Companion the life story of the Russian Kmpress. In the December number ot that magazine he writes: "When a certain Count Tolstoy was Minister of Public Instruction he one- appealed to the Empress to aid him in extending the education al advantages of the empire to the girls and young women of the country. (I have Count Tolstoy's own permission to relate this inci dent.) "The Tsaritsa listened to the Minister attentively as he set forth the needs of Russia in this direction and when he had concluded, she replied that she thought all young girls should be taught to sew, to care for their homes, in short to be come helpiut wives and good moth ers, but as for granting them the privileges of so-called 'higher edu cation,' knowledge of history, phil osophy and the sciences to this she was entirely opposed, 'because these studies, when offered to women, only resulted in such terrible times as Russia is now passing through.' "This, sure'y, is a remarkable tribute to the women of Russia the Tsaritsa holding them respon sible for the gieat movement to ward liberty as a result of their education and culture!"
