CSTR Box Alder Should Go, The writer's attention was the other day called to the fact that the box alder, or some times called black alder, should not be permitted to grow any where. The seeds spread, and the young alder become an intolerable nuisance. The gentleman farther related that some twenty years ago he was sent four trees of this variety from Stephen- son county, Illinois. They were plant- ed and grew rapidly, bat later their noxious elements began to appear. Later the original trees were cut down, and since he has been striving to rid his premises of the shoots from the seed and roots, In order not to be faulted with having been responsible for the appearance of the alder in his community, he has devoted much time and energy to the destruction of the young trees shooting up along the roadside some distance from the orig- inal site of the four imported trees. The recounting of this experience should be sufficient to impel every one having this variety of trees growing to at once set about to destroy them. The sight ofa box alder growing along Main street as a shade tree, brought about a discussjon of the sub- ject. The alder should go. «0 Cut Down smoke, Fhe Pennsylvania Railroad Chg- pany is making su effort to reduce the smoke nuisance to the minimum and at the same time reduce the cost of fuel by more skilled firing on the part of the firemen. To accomplish this a number of trained men have been sent out to teach a better system of firing. The coal bill of the Penpsy last year was $100,000,000, and the sav- ing of but ope per cent. would mean a gain of $100,000. ————— I HA —————— Festival Saturday Evening.

Homan, east of Centre Hall, sold his horse and purchased a driving horse from William Hagen, of Spring Mills. The horse he now owns is a valuable animal, and a good roadster. Russel Grove, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs, B. Gardner Grove, east of Centre Hall, was dangerously ill a few days ago, but now is on a fair road to recovery. He had a severe attack of poeumonis, and Bundsy night Dr. Lee and Dr. Braucht were in consultation on his case. Miss Bertha Duck, of Bpring Mills, and ber brother, Rev. Elkanah Duck, of New York, are about to sail for a European tour. Rev.

This method of procedure canuot but be detrimental to the best interests of the Democratic party in that county, and ought to be * cut out.” Neither of these editors would give space to private individaals to publish their personal interest to the public, except to those who would profit by fanning the flames. The same is true of the griev- ances of editors. This bie of may be regarded as Me A=" pet Cs po ~ oo A Lost Bank Note. A friend of mine, writes a Scottish correspondent, recently saw a plece of paper lying on the street. le picked it up. It was a one pound note. Some men might have pocketed if, with a sinlle of satisfaction. My friend, how- ever, honestly handed it over to the police. A short time afterward he dis- covered that he hlmself had lost a pound. He thought over the matter snd remembered that before finding the note he had been standing on the edge of the pavement for some time, It slowly dawned upon him that the pound he had found was his own and that he had drawn it from his pocket unconsciously, He went back prompt- ly to the police station and explained the circumstance. The officer in charge only shook his head and smiled In- credulously. “Very clever,” he sald, “but—eh-it will scarcely do.” If my friend cared to call back at the end of six months, he was informed, he would get the pound If in the interval it had not been clalmed. During this time of waiting he Is Inclined to meditate as to whether honesty Is always the best policy.—London P. T, O. In Case of Accident. Don't bluster, Be tactful. If there are dangerous germs present, ask them to withdraw. If they demur, ask them where they were brought up with gen- tle irony. Be careful to render first ald to the injured. A great deal of unnecessary suffering bas been caused by persons hastily rendering third or even fourth ald where first ald was indicated. In case of drowning select a best method ef resuscitation. There are 4,639 best methods in all. Have them about you In the form of loose news- paper clippings and run them over briefly before acting. Keep cool. Stop every little while and take your temperature, If the coroner arrives while you are at work, immediately desist. It is dis- courteous to save life in his presence. Take accurate notes of the street and number. Reviving patients almost al- ways ask where they are, If possible, Induce death to super- vyene rather than to take place merely or even to ensue. It gives the family a sense of digunity. Puck. The Frank Critic. “When Sir John Millals was engaged in painting his ‘Chill October’ among the rushes on the banks of the Tay, near Perth’ said an English artist, “a railway porter from the station at Kin- fauns used to carry the canvas back and forth for him, “The porter was a quaint chap, His services were called for many days in requisition. He became quite friendly with Sir John and seemed to take a hearty interest in the progress of the painting. “Well, ‘Chill October” was eventually finished and sold a lttle, while after- ward for a thousand pounds. This fact somehow reached the porter's cars. He met Sir John's brothéFin-law at Kin fauns one day and sald excitedly: “ ‘Mon, is't true. that Sir John's sold t'picture and got a thoosand poond for't?" “ “Yes, certainly,’ was the reply. “'A thoosand poontl” repeated the porter. ‘Why, mon, 1 widna gi'en half a croonifor't' ™ - Rotundity of Earth.
