Net His Place to Laugh. Milly is a sweet young lady, usually very sedate and self possessed. But today she was suffering under the stress of suppressed emotion. "Calm yourself, my dear." urged a sympathetic friend, "and tell me all about it." "Well, you see." began Milly, wiping her eyes, "papa cauglit a wicked cold, and mother persuaded him to coddle himself to get rid of it. So he sat, dressed in pajamas, on his folding Led in front of a blazing lire in his bedroom, lie had a steaming bowl of gruel on his knee, and his feet were in a pail of mustard and water. "Presentlf we heard a terrific lioise overhead, and we all rushed upstairs <o see what had happened to poor papa. We found that the folding bed had collapsed in the middle, and there he was stuck in the angle, scalding gruel in his lap and pouring all over him, while ma was sitting in a pool of mustard and water on the floor, laughing herself into hysterics. And. oil, the things he said because she didn't go and pull him out! That's why I'm overcome, my dear!"— Lo ndon Answers. A Bundle of Blunders. Don t say that "cleanliness is next to godliness," a statement which would be untrue if it were not unmeaning. If you must gauge the value of this excellent quality quote the original correctly and say that cleanliness is next to goodliness, meaning thereby that, where this is lacking, a clean and well kept person has an attraction and a comeliness only second to actual beauty. Never talk of"the worst coming to the worst, an impossible occurrence, since it is already there. The worse may come to the worst, as, alas, it of ten does, 1 dit when the worst has come there is no more to lie said. Please da not speak of your "mutual friend." If Ais a friend of Band C, A Is not a mutual but a common friend. But, above all, if you would be blameless never talk of "common sense," as though it were or could be an exertional or rare possession of a favored few. Common sense is the sense common to all, which long may we all enjoy. Shakespeare Versus Burns. At the close of a lecture to the mem bers of certain literary society the following dialogue between a Scotch man and the lecturer was overheard: "Ye think a tine lot o' Shakespeare, doctor'/" "I do, sir." was the emphatic reply. "An ,ve think he was mair clever than Bobbie Hums?" "Why, there's 110 comparison be tween them!" "Max he no, hut ye fell 11s the nicht it was Shakespeare who wrote 'Uneasy lies thi* head that wears a crown.' Now, Bobbie would never have writ ten sic nonsense as that." "Nonsense, sir"' thundered the indig nant doctor. Aye. just nonsense. Bobbie would hac kent tine that a king, or a queen either, disnn gang to bed withe crown on his head. They hang it ower the hack o a chair." The doctor's face dropped, for he realized that his lec ture had been given in vain. Scottish Nights. Gold Is Everywhere. Gold can most profitably be extract ed from certain mines where the ore is rich and not too difficult to work, hut should these deposits ever peter out there is no fear that the world would suffer for lack of a gold supply, for there are many other sources which are as yet untouched, but for working which profitable methods would lie de vised if need were. Granite, for ex ample, contains an appreciable quan tity of gold, and if it were not under present conditions too expensive a mat ter to extract it we should find Scot land and Cornwall rivaling the Trans vaal and the Klondike. The sea also contains gold in solution, and the mau who invents a cheap method of get ting it out will make himself richer than all the millionaires thai ever lived. Gold is also constantly falling all over the surface of the world, blown to us in minute quantities along with cosmic dust, x hieh comes from inter stellar space Black and White. STERLING RUN. I!.

The residence of Win. Krebs caught fire Thursday morning at ii) liy reason of an overheated stovepipe. A large hole was burned through the roof. The firo was discovered by Anson Mason, who hastened to the scene and assisted input. ting it out. No serious damage was done- A meeting of the hunters of Sinnama honing, Four Mile and Huntley, was held on the Court House square, River street. Huntley, Pa., Saturday afternoon. Judge J. M. English was present to hear the scores of each of the hunters which were as follows: .J. It.

Jordan, six bears, ten coons, nine wildcats, three minks, thirty muskrats, ten foxes and one owl; Wesley Burr, six coons and 300 pounds of honey; Geo. Darrin, Sinnamahoning, one spike buck deer! Judge English awarded the prize which consisted of one hundred shares in min ing stock, from the Golden Eagle mines of Colorado, to J. S. Jordan. The de cision was approved by all. These hunt ing contests are becoming popular and it is expected that more hunters will enter for the next season's bunt. Major Eng lish delivered a very instructive talk on our wild animals and received much ap plause. An invitation was sent to Seth Nelson and Cal Muling to attend the meeting but they could not attend on ac count of having to be in Washington when Congress opened. As all of the contestants are men of unimpeachable in tegrity we are glad to congratulate them on their success. An amusing incident happened last Monday which is worth repeating. Geo. Parrin brought a piece otjhis venison up from home to preseut to his friends in town, and having togo into Win. Logues store, he laid the meat outside, and n coming out found that it bad vanished. Someone told him Sullivan's dog had taken it, and tehre was fun in the air, and everybody that owned a dog in town was under suspicion. Happily, the guilty party was a cat, which was found back of the store just getting ready for a feast of venison. The meat was not injured and the clouds rolled away. D. W.

Of toil we have no fear; Our dispositions are the same Each day throughout the year; But never is a happier time, In all our times so fine. As when the mill is running, And the saw goes through the pine. D. W. is the Captain, 'Tis he that pays the freight. The money's ready every night. He does not make us wail. His pleasant manners never change. He says he would not mind, If every log upon the job Was good old solid pine. Erwin holds the lever. And I.ee, he files the saws, 'Til they cut through the timber. Without a hitch or flaw. Herman keeps the logs at hand, And rolls tf ein into line, As merrily the saw cuts through The hemlock and the pine. Ed. Faucet makes the engine steam, And oils the balance wheel; He sets the valves and corks the flews, And polishes the steel. "Old Huidy" pops with boiler full, She surely makes good time, While putting power behind the saw That cuts the oak and pine. Harvey runs the trimmer, And Bill, the old tail-saw, While <7harlie Tailor cuts the slabs; llis word on this is law. His rheumatism bothers some, Hut this he does not mind. AH cheerfully he cuts the slabs Of the hemlock und the pine. Nolson Brothers pile the hoards. And build the lumber docks, They work like heroes all the time, And never watch the clock. They never stop for rain or snow, Their work is rijrht in line. Their hands get full of slivers, Both of hemlock and of pine. So thus we work from day today. Kach with a willing hand. And always have a little time, To heed the Lord's command. We hope when our life's work is done, That H« will not decline, To give a bright place in llis hoine, To the boys who saw the pine. -J.
