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

papa. We found that the folding bed
had collapsed in the middle, and there
he was stuck in the angle, scalding

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.

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. Bachelder, Sinnama
houing, four bears, three wildcats, ten
pheasants, niue black squirrels, two gray
squirrels, four oppossums, twenty-two
skunks; Allen Russell, Four Mile, three
bears, six eubs and two minks; John S.
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.

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.

Mr. I arks was unable to play the violin

which he kindly permitted us to publish:
"THE BOYS WHO SAW THE ?INE "
We are a jolly party.
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.
