Susquehanna, June 15. Hon. Amos J.
Cummlngs, tho well known New Ybrk
congressman-Journalist, a few days
since spent a brief vacation at Colum
bian Grove, seven miles up the river,
luring bass., pickerel and catfish, from
their retreat. He arrived here on Sat
urday evening and left Immediately for
tho grove. He spent Sunday attending
to his religious duties and arranging
his lines. Day break on Monday found
him on the river In a boat, patiently
angling for specimens of the finny
tribes, and at noon ho had a fine catch.
While he was placing his flsh upon a
long string and making a mental mem
orandum of the specimens to bo ex
pressed to his congressional friends In
New York, there came from the porch
of tho cottage a tin-horn call for din
ner. Amos Immediately reeled up his
lines and placed the string of fish over
the side of the boat, allowing It to dan
gle in the water. Hardly had he seated
himself at the table when a smnll boy,
In breathless haste, entered the cottage
and announced that n big bald-headed
eagle had suddenly swooped down upon
the boat, seized the fish and sailed
away into the blu heavens. Amos
grabbed a shot gun and rushed down to
the river, but tho big bird was hun
dreds of feet beyond the range of bul
lets, and Amos could only stand nnd
helplessly watch the sudden rise In flsh.
What ho said for the next hour will
not appear In future syndicate letters.

Is tho season for new lifo in nature,
now vigor in our physical systems.
As tho fresh 6ap carries lifo into tho
trees, so our blood should give us
renewed strength and vigor. In
its impure stato it cannot do this,
and tho aid of Hood's Sarsaparilia
Is imperatively needed.
It will purify, vitalize and enrich tho
blood, and with this solid, correct
foundation, it will build up good
health, create n good appetite, tono
your stomach and digestive organs,
strengthen your nerves and over
come or prevent that tired feeling.
Tliis has been tho experience of thou
sands. It will bo yours if you take
Sarsaparilia ;

MOVING LIVELY NOW
As stated when we opened the High GrailO Sill) mil Rtlg Sale, we
were afraid that wc would find it bard to move these expensive goods,
even at half price. We confess to making a mistake, for we've never
had livelier selling in any department than has been the case with
these rugs at just fifty cents on the dollar. True, they arc an unpre
cedented bargain bargains that could not be duplicated, were it not
that Kerr, Son & Ca's stock was bought at Sheriff's Sale at less than
half price. The same remarks, of course, apply to our high grade
Carpet stock, from which we can sell you the best Body Brussels
Carpet made as low as 50 cents per yard, but It's Smyrna Rugs we're
talking today, and if you're interested, pardon us for saying that it
will be fo your advantage to call, for
HALF PRICE OPPORTUNITIES
Don't come often lo that line, and the full range of sizes won't hold
out much longer. Three illustrations in values will suffice: They
represent the first quality of Smyrna Hugs made: Size 18x36 in., that
usually brings $1.35, sells for 87 cents. Size 30x60 in., listed at J4.25,
sells for $3.12. Size 6 ft. xo ft., for small rooms, that sold for $23,
goes at $1150. There's lower grades if you want them, sizes 30x60
inches, at $1.50 and J1.75 each.
