A well- iknown Oakland hunter, who hns had Lnuch experience In deer hunting In I he wilds of Pike county, has of late een kept awuke at night by the shrill Irlcs of wMdcats on the hills, and lie letermlned to put a stop to the con- lrU. Coming to Susquehanna, he bor- wed several dogs that had hiul exper- fnce In Pike county, and later secured pie services of a young Oakland hun- r, who had killed the champion buck ,.ur Phoholiu Reaching home, he at nee planned lo round-up wildcats. The reteran hunter posted the young one !tnd the dogs in places of vantage and Imtlcntly awaited the coming of the lats. They had not long to wait. Ith a savage yell, a great cat came hounding over a knioll and towards the Ituntlng iarty, wlui drew their guns "mil prepared to fill the beast with shot as It "shlnnctr" up a tree. Nearer and nearer came the screaming beast. Stopping midway between the two hunters, It whuked ut both, gave a mighty leap and dodged beneath a rock and wns seen no more. Tho disgusted hunters Mild a feu things, kicked the dogi" and returned sadly home. Thot night the wildcat crossed the liver, and has sinew; been posing as a panther In the Egypt section of Great Head township. The Oakland hunters are still on the tndl of the terror, re inforced by a numtber of experienced panther hunters of Oakland borough. The hunters found tracks In the snow as large as a snuwr, and tall marks eighteen Inches Ions. From measure ments and calculations the beast Is thought to be nine fVct lone. Farmers hear loud ."creams on the hills at night, and belated lovers run frightened to their homes. The hunt continues nightly. Residents of the Egypt tract have lately seen flickering lights on the eastern horizon, and have marked them ns new stars in the con stellation. They aro lanterns carried by the Oakland hunters In their mad and eager chase after a peregrinating panther. IN SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY. Forest City has a board of trade.

IT WAS a charming little fitting room in which Mrs. Mason sat sewing dainty Htitches. liefore her stood the servant girl who, with a stolid stare, announced that she had found a place down town. "Hut, Mary, you surely would not leave me without help," Mrs. Mason answered. "1 got a place where 1 get tree dol lar." "I would give you three dollars, but you agreed to work for me for two and a half If I would teach you to talk and do the work." "I got anoder place down town. I .say I go next week." Entreaty and persuasion were alike in vain. It all ended with, "I go next week." One year from this time Mrs. Mason was a wiser, if not a better woman, and when Lena announced, "I got un other place down town," she merely answered, "very well," for this was the third girl that she had trained for the woman down town. When Mr. Mason came home to din ner that night, he saw at once that some shadow had clouded the domestic heaven: but when his wife had poured out her tale of woe, she proceeded to lay before him plans for her future campaign. When ho had fully caught her Idea he laughed long and loud. "You're a mighty smart little wo man, Maria, hut If you try that game you'll full down," ho announced, when she asked for his opinion of her plans. "I'll not fall down any harder than I have In my other plans, and I be lieve I can do It." "All right. I'll back you," he prom ised encouragingly. Assured of her husband's co-operation, Mrs. Mason very willingly ngrced to take Lena's cousin, Christina, who had just arrived from the fatherland. In the week which Intervened before the udvent of the new domestic, one might have supposed Mrs. Mason to be a blue-stocking of the deejiest dye, for she carried a pencil stuck in her hair, and stopped to Jot down burning thoughts on whatever was most con venient to rest her notebook upon; tho baby's back or the bottom of tho dish pan were alike available. When tho now Christina appeared, fresh and rosy and clean, sho started at her task with vigor. Her former experience taught her the best method of Instruction, and taking up ono artlclo after another, she told the names distinctly, and encour uged Christina to repeat It until she was sure of it. The llrst performance In the domes tic act was to fry potatoes for lunch eon. "This, Christina," said Mrs. Mason, as she held up the spider. "Is a kettle, and these nre eggs," pointing to the potatoes. After this the bread and tho meat, the crackers and tho raisins, tho coffeo and the lemons, changed places, and DO of the commonest uten sils In tho kitchen and dining room were In a confusion that had no order except In tho fertile brain ot Mrs. Ma son; but sho had her list well memor ized, and her mistakes were few, Mr. Mason gave her enthusiastic support, and though ho feared to give an order to Christina without first consulting his wife, and his appealing look at tho table when he held up the cracker Jar to Christina and asked fop morn raisins was very amusing, he gave his wife unstinted admiration for the gllh man ner In which sho could order u six pound bread fried rare, or a small plcco of roast beef for tho wator pitcher.

She Jabbered In hf"' native tongue gladly with her friends, and her English that chance might call Into use, never Intruded on the ground with which Mrs. Mason tampered. Tho excitement of her experiment added quite a little interest to the usually monotonous work ofV(iainliig u green girl, and Mrs. .Mason taught her many mysteries in salads and boups that she had heretofore kept as Kirlctly private knowledge. Christina had reached that stage In her development when Mrs. Mason could give an order tor dinner and go out for an afternoon with some assurance that a palatable, well-served dinner would await her ictiiui. She knew that the time was nenr at hand for the Inevitable announcement, and so when Christina said, a little nioie shyly than some of the former girls: "My cousin sho got me place where T sec her every day. The woman, she say the glad to get girl that you make. She have your fclrl anoder time." Mrs. Mason answered cheerily: "All right, Christina, you can go right along. I'll get along without a girl for a while, but Mr. Mason Is go ing to bring company home tonight, and I watit a very nice dinner," Christina smiled at so willing an acquiescence to her plans, nnd asked: "What I get for dinner?" "We'll have someof that nlceoatmeal cream, a cabbage fried cake, some souped eggs, a chicken omelette, and you may get some of the best oyster cookies from the pickle. Make some coffee soup, Christina, and make the freezer full. I think we'll have soda pie with it." "All right, I do It." answered Chris tina, willingly, and Mr. Mason smiled ns sho thought of the lady down town. "Now, madam, you're welcome to the fruit of my labor." If she felt the least bit guilty, the memory of the many hours of care and thought that she had given to tho training of green girls came to np pease her conscience. 'I only wish I could sco the other acts," she said to Mr. 'Mason. "I ex pect to be In the fifth myself, but I feel I shall miss tho third and fourth." Christina reported bright and early at Mrs. Mender's, eager to prove her self worthy of her advance. Circum stances compelled Mrs. Render to leave her entirely to her own devices tho first day; but on the morning of tho second she enmo In haste Into tha kitchen. "Christina," she said, "get breakfast ns quickly as possible. Mr. Homier wants to make that early train. Wo generally want toast, but wo will got along without It this morning; nnd wo like it rare," sh added, pointing to the beef steak. "Hare!" Christina exclaimed. "Yes, rare, You understand what that is, don't you?" "Y-e-s." "Well, we always take It rare, and our coffee strong." "You take coffee for breakfast?" "Always; and u would like It ns soon ns possible, Christina." Mrs. Bender sailed out of the kitchen and confidentially told Mr. Render that the new girl seemed exceedingly stupid, or else she had a very peculiar man ner. "Sho Is In a constant state of sur prise," who added, "and I declare, I smell bread toasting. 1 told her not to toast It this morning." In an Incredibly short time the break fast bell rang, and when the Bender family sat down to tho table the look of surprlsowas transferred from Chris tina's faco to theirs, for on tho platter lay a line steak, fresh from tho refrig erator, and In plnco of tho pot ot steaming coffee, sat a pitcher of lea cold lemonade. Mrs. Bender rang tho bell with exceeding energy, and when astonished Christina appeared, they At 3 O'clock the most Important offerings we have bargain we offer this afternoon In inches wide, all wool and come in and green.

Mrs. Bender grew angry, and Christina resorted to tears, and while Mr. Bender listened to their con fusing explanations, he made his break fast on toast and lemonade. Matters grew worse rapidly, and In spite of repeated and patient explana tions, Christina's Ideas weie In a state of hopeless confusion, but neither she nor Mrs. Bender ever thought of the little woman on the hill as the author of all their troubles. At the end of two weeks Mrs. Bender took a street car for Walnut Hill, and seeking out Mrs. Mason, asked her If she would not ho willing to take Christina back. Mrs. Mason artfully hesitated a moment and then consented. "I nm so relieved," Mrs. Bender said, "for I keep her In tears half of the time, anil she seems so anxious to please me. I can't understand how any one can be as stupid as she Is." So Christina came back, and for four years she did faithful service In Mrs. Mason's kitchen, and for the llrst time In her life that ingenious little woman did not live In constant fear of "anoder place down town."

Every Italian who holds himself aloof from the prejudices of ordinary patriotism will recognize that the moral conditions of our country are not of the best, and that, In tho gen eral statistics of homicide, Italy holds a disgraceful supremacy. More mur ders aro committed In Italy than in Spain or Hungary; and In tho latter two countries tho number of homicides has been supposed to be the largest In Europe. Having said this much, with n sincerity which none can doubt, it remains for us to examine Into the de tails concerning the fact. For the years lS9.--lifi.97, wo find that an nverogo of lL'.iiS per 100.COO Inhabi tants In Italy have been accused of homicide. A more detailed study brings to light these facts: (1) The provinces of Italy which glvo tho high (st averages for homicide aro Olrgentl, W.Gr,: Sassarl, RG.S3; Trapanl, 33.25; Pal ermo, SL'.'JS: and Naples, :il.T6. (2) Those which yield the lowest avorages aro Mantu, 1.S7; Bergamo, 2.1'.; Padua, 2.15; Sondtio, 2.17; and Cremona, 2.05. These figures go to prove that thoro ex ists in Italy a largo zone almost all northern Italy which, as regoids hom icide, very nearly approaches the most civilized countries of Europe, Difficult as Is the study of crime In the United States, It may bo said that thoro exists In that country, also, an enormous dif ference In tho criminal statistics of different regions. For example, In the statistics for 1SP8 we find a maximum of 20 homicides per 100,000 Inhabitants In Now York. In San Francisco the number was 13.33. The minimum wns found in Baltimore, 0.5!). Washington has tho small percentage of 0.79. Italy nnd the United States aro pre-eminent In regard to tho differences In social conditions found in tho different sec tions of tho samo country, Tho various political ci lines of tho Italians have given the enemies of the democracy the pretext of attribut ing the high criminal averuge to thu propaganda through which tho popu lar factions republicans, radicals and socialists aro seeking to ppur tho Ital ian people on to n more highly civilized llfo. Now, statistics show that tho crime of homicide Is greatest In tho south of Italy In Sardinia and Sicily that Is to say, In those parts where tho fewest republicans and socialists aro to be found; where, in fact, they do not Sale No, 3 SALE OF FLANNELETTE WRAPPERS can uuy wen macte anu gooa utting jeianneietto wrappers ror . - nearly half their worth.

If we look upon homicide from the standpoint of political propogandlsm, we aro forced to admit that In Italy, as in Germany, such propaganda exerts a moderating influence over crlmo.
