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.

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.
As there are Si election districts in
the county the average cost to the
county is about S45 for each dis
trict. The rent for polling places
varies. In Williamsport it is about
$20. 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.

The town council of Pottsvillc is
preparing to make a fight against
an order issued by Health Com
missioner Dixon on the construc
tion of a sewage disposal plant.
The health commissioner has
threatened to bring legal proceed
ings against the town council tin
less his orders are complied with
and at the meeting of the council
last week the city solicitor, Iv. P.
Leuschtner, was instructed to pre
pare an answer to the threatened
prosecution. It is estimated that
the disposal plan which Pottsvillc
is asked to construct will cost
$200,000 Should the matter be
taken into court the outcome of the
action would be watched with in
tense interest by every city and
borough of the State.

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.

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 Real Story of the Russian
press.
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!"
