Clara riorris's "Little Acrobat Girl."
Clara Morris, the famous actress, has
developed into a story writer whose
cleverness is conceded by every maga
zine editor. Consequently there is a
place in readiness for everything that

isher! a story, called "The Little Acro

the stage, and will be given early pub
lication in The Ladies' Home Journal

How it Worked.
An Emporium lady who decided to
scare her husband, who is quite a bard
drinker, so he would reform. To do
this she procured the costume of a devil
she had worn at a masquerade. The
next time the erring spouse came home
feeling happy she quickly donned the
costume.
As he opened the door she stepped
forward and said in sepulchral tones:
"Come in with me—l am the devil."
The result rather startled her, as the
response which greeted ber, was: "Zat
so? Sha-ik, ol'boy, I'm your bro'er
in-law. I married your sister."

Elias Day.
Elias Day, Characterist of Chicago,
will close the People's Star Course,
Saturday evening, March 9th. In his
particular line of entertainment Mr.
Day is absolutely without a peer. It is
the deliberate judgment of the most
discriminating critics that he is the
best single entertainer on the Ameri
can platform to-day and this high com
pliment is abundantly borne out by the
wealth of testimonial ho brings with
him. Having heard Mr. Day we un
hesitatingly accord him high rank
among those whose function it is to
furnish wholesome amusement. The
chart opens Wednesday, March 6th, at
9 a. m.
The Hothers' Meeting.
A very interesting mothers' meet
ing was held in the high school room,
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 23, about
sixty mothers being present. A very
excellent program was carried out.
Mrs. Larrabee very ably discussed
the subject "Cigarette Smoking." In
her usually pleasing manner she set
forth the dangers and evils of cigarette
smoking which are bound to come to
those who form the habit.
Mrs Heilman read a very excellent
paper on "Home Study," which was
full of good suggestions. Mrs. Heil
man was followed in the discussion by
Mrs. Olmsted, Mrs. Burnell and others.
Mrs. Burnell then read a paper on
"Regularity and Punctuality." The
value of the habit of regularity and
punctuality was very ably set forth
by the speaker.
The subject, "The Physical Care of
the Child as it affects the Mental and
Moral Development,'' was discussed
in a paper by Mrs. Hackenberg. The
speaker dwelt to some length upon the
necessity of proper food, cleanliness
and physical exercise of the child as
they affect the mental and moral
growth.
The meeting proved to be very profi
table to those in attendance and it was
decided by those present to hold
monthly meetings. The next meeting
will be held in the high school room at
2:30 p. m., March 30th.
Of Course We Have.
Cameron county has nerve. It is in
the Legislature with a bill asking the
State for $2,000 for the erection of a
soldiers' and sailors' monument for the
soldiers and sailors of the county at
Emporium. This is the first instance
of a county asking the State to do what
has been done by almost every other
county in the State. As a matter of
pride the citizens of Cameron county
ought not togo outside of the county
for funds to erect a monument to its
dead soldiers and sailors. It is a weal
thy county, for its size, and if it cannot
collect the money by subscription, let
it issue bonds for the amount, and they
will soon betaken.—Harrisburg Tele
graph.

Western Resources.
Our young friend Harry M. Fry, for
merly a respected resident of Empori
um, sends us an illustrated publication,
entitled "Western Resources," wherein
we find many pleasing views of that
country, especially Raton, where our
friend has settled down, taken uuto
himself a good wife (Harry would have
none other) and engaged in business.
The issue before us has this to say of
our worthy friend: "House furnishing
of late years has been reduced to a
science. To be successful in this line
one must be well versed in the har
mony of colors. Not only does this
apply to associating different colors of
furniture, but the colors of the wood
work and walls of the rooms must be
considered in furnishing a house with
any degree of taste
Mr. Fry has become very proficient
in this art, and many homes bear evi
dence of his skill. ' He carries a com
plete line of housefurnisliing goods,
including everything that is needed to
make home cheerful and comfortable. |
His motto is: Good goods at lowest
| prices.
I He has a thoroughly-equipped under
i taking establishment in connection,
| and does embalming by the latest im
! proved methods. He is a very careful
| undertaker and stands ready day or
! night to attend calls."

Very Proper Action.
The following action taken by the
officials of the M. E. Church of this
place is right and proper. Rev. Metz
ler is an able gentleman, an eloquent
speaker and hard worker. He has
made a host of friends during the year
he has been among us and we believe
we express the almost unanimous de
sire of our citizens, regardless of creed,
that he be returned to this charge for
another year. Personally, we have
found the gentleman a very agreeable
friend—broad minded upon all ques
tions, a close reader and student of the
day—that it is a pleasure to meet.
By all means send Rev. Metzler to Em
porium again:
| WHEREAS, Rev. O. S. Metzltr has most ac
| ceptably filled the Pastorate of the First Meth
j odist Episcopal Church of Emporium for the
j conference year now drawing to a close, and
| WHEREAS, We believe that the best interests
I of the church, both temporal and spiritual,will
j be conserved and promoted by the return of
' Brother Metzler to said church for the en uing
! year. Therefore, be it
I Resolved, By the First Methodist Episcopal
j Church of Emporium in Quarterly Conference
assembled that Brother Metzler be, and is hereby
most earnestly requested to remain in the pas
torate of our church.
Resolved, That the Presiding Bishop and his
Cabinet, at the next session of the Central Penn
sylvania Conference, be and are hereby most
respectfully and most urgently requested to re
j turn Brother Metzler to the Pastorate of this
j church.
