JUDGING IX 1LSTE.
Mr. Ralph Sunfold was smoking his
cigar ln-fore the kitt-hi-n tire.
He always went into the kitchen to
Miiokt- his cigar of a white evening.
He sid it was to save the s.iowy r:us
lin curtains of his Aunt 1'hedra's pret
ty parlor; hut iu her secret heart Aunt
I'liedra U-licved it was to enjoy the
light and warmth of the huge open
I', re.
And really, Aunt Phedra's kitc hen
whs aooierand inorecoinfortahle plaiv
than some parlors, with its red and
l.hu-k striped rag cariK-t, its tell clock
in the ccrncr, the yellow-washed walls
all festooned with shining tin, and the
cushioned chair in the corner.
He whs smoking his cigar, as we said
liefore; and Aunt I'hedra was industri
ously picking yellow leaves oil the big
ll?h-geramum in the window.
"Yes," wild Aunt Phedra, ''she's
coining hack, or she wouldn't have
sent her trunk."
"No," said Mr. " Sunfold, "I suppose
not."
"And I am heartily sorry," added
Aunt Phedra.
Mr. Sunfold knocked the ashes off
the tip of his cigar, replaced on the
fire-dogs a log w hich had rolled cfT,
and then asked in a rather a low tone:
"Why?"
"Because you are determined to mar
ry her," said Aunt I'hedra.
Aunt Phedra wheeled around to face
her nephew.
"Because she'sa heartless little flirt,"
said she. "And I'm sorry I ever adopt
ed her and brought her here to break
the hearts of half the young men in the
country."
Mr. Sunfold laughed.
"iA-t them take care of their own
hearts," said he. "That is no business
of mine. She loves me, and ue only,
and that is enough."
"I'm not so sure of that," said Aunt
Phedra, with a spice of feminine ina
iee. "She's a regular ctKiuet, Klsie Ben
nett is, and she may jilt you as well as
another."
"In that, Aunt Phedra," said ti e
young man, slowly, "I am sure that
you are mistaken."
"I'm only repeating what jieople
say," retorted the old lady. "How
ever, that's neither here nor there.
She told me to open the trunk us stoii
as it Ciin.e, ui d gtt ut that bli.cksilk
dress pattern and send it to the dress
maker's. I think myself," Aunt Phe
dra added, incidentally, "that a black
silk dress for a girl of KIsie's narrow
means is simply a piece of extrava
gance. Yes, Ralph, I know what you're
going to say 'If a tsiil teaches s.-hcol
and earns her ow n money, she has a
right to i-pend it as s.he pica.- a.' Put
that don't alter the common sense of
the matter. And she never sent the
key."
"Then you can't open it," said Ralph
Sunfold.
"L'nlt-s-s," said Aunt I'hedra, produc
ing a prodigious ring of different sized
keys "unless one of these happens to
fit it. I b.irrowed 'em from Luke
Smith's wife; her husband used to be
in the locksmithing business. I wish,
Ralph, you'd come into the next room
and try them. I'm so afraid of break
ing the lock."
tVrla'iily, Aunt Phedra," sai l Mr.
Sunfold.
If he cuUn'l see pretty KIsie's dim
pled, blooming self, to le' able to do
something for her was the next best
t'niVig; and he followed the oh lady
wilh alacrity into the adjoining apart
ijient, where a luttered trunk stood
gainst the wall, like a leviathan in re?
pose.
"She has been dreadful hard on her
new trunk," aighed Aunt Phedra.
"Baggage-smasht r!" suggested her
nephew. "One can't travel without
having one's thiiigs torn to pieces.
(Jive me the keys, Aunt Plicdra."
He knelt before the trunk, the old
lady standing solicitously by, as one
key after anothtr was tested, without
apparent success.
"I'm afraid we shall have to give it
up," said R-dpli. "Stop! here is one
more on the ring. K-jreka! We have
it the very thing!''
"Well, I declare!'' said Aunt Phedra,
as the young man lifted a heavy lid and
balanced it again -it the wall, "if that
wasn't sheer good luck. Now for the
black siik dress pattern and the trim
mings. Eh what? A gentleman's
photograph twj of 'em? A bos of
I cigarettes? I lo nope iv.sie uasn i got
fe nasty habit of mioking, like those
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY,
dreadful Cuban ladies one reads about.
A red silk smoking cap and a pair of
Turkish slip-nrs "
"Stop, Aunt Phedra!" said Mr. Sun
fold, who had grown very pale. "We
have no right further to pry into anoth
er iKTson's belongings,"
Aunt Phedra turned tijKHi him like
an enraged lioness.
"She wrote to me to look into her
thing?,' said she, "aud I'm hulking;
and I'm glad I looked; for us sure as
yr.u live, Ralph Sunfold, Els'e Bennett,
ii ly adopted daughter, has got married
on the sly, and these are her huslmnd'a
things, packed in among htrs."
"But that is. inijiossible!" said
strjightforward Ralph Sunfold. "She
is engaged to me!"
"O'.i, IUlph, R ilph!" cried the old
lady, bursting into tiic slow, ag.iii:'.'d
tears of age, as she let her head fall on
her nephew's shoulder, "don't think
any more of her. She's a jilt a heart
less rootlet! Oh, my boy, my boy! she
never was, good enough for you!"
Mr. Sunfold turned silently away.
He would have pledged bis life for the
irutii and purity of little Elsie Bennett;
but what did these mute w itnesses
mean the testimony of the laughing,
handsome photographs, with the silky
niu-taelie aud the dark, audacious eyes?
"What areyou doing. Aunt Phedra?"
he asked, his attention attracted by her
quick, sudden motions.
"Shutting up the trunk," said the
old lady, brusquely. "I'll send it buck
to her at once. I'll have no such bra
zenfaced doings in my house!"
"No, Aunt Phedra," said Ralph,
resolutely. "If either of us leaves the
house it must be me. Elsie has a right
to the shelttr of your roof, t-he is your
adopted daughter"
"From this moment," said the old
lady, sharply, "she is nothing more to
me!"
A cloud had come over the soft star
light of the winter night; the wind
moaned through the trees; aud Ralph,
sitting sadly by the fire, felt a" if his
j whole life were darkened over and
t changed.
Aunt Phedra, oposite to him, was
knitting mechanically away with com
pressed lipsand ominously grave visage
and neither spoke.
A sweet, silvery laugh sounded on
the frosty silence outside, a merry foot
step (ripja-d up the three stone stejis,
and like a l:1j of fresh, pure air, in
fluttered Elsie Bennett herself Elsie,
with cheeks painted the softest car
mine by the brush of the great frost
artist; brown tresses escaping from
under the brim of her jaunty hat, aud
her eyes sparkling like blue jewels.
"I thought I should take you by sur
prise," said Elsie, looking triumphant
ly around. "One of the school trustees
is dead, and we have a vacation until
Monday. Sd I took the first train and
here I am. And, dear nie, what's the
matter!" as for the first lime she per
ceived the inscrutable change in the
faces of Ralph and Aunt Phedra "Is
anybody sick? Has anything dreadful
happened?"
"Oh, Elsie, Elsie!" suid the old lady,
"how can you stand there looking us
?n the face so calmly?"
"Why shouldn't I, Aunt Phedra?"
said the girl.j glancing from R-ilph to
the old lady :lnd then back again.
Ralph stepiKil forward and took her
hand.
"Aunt Phedra," he said, "I would
pledge my existence on her truth and
sincerity."
"But I don't understand you," said
Elsie. I don't know why "
At this minute there came a resound
ing tattoo on the d.mr.
"Who's that?" cried Aunt Phedra,.
who had worked herself into' a state of
nervous excitement so great that the
ap;K-arance of a fiery Hying dragon on
the scene would scarcely have been be
yond her expectations.
Mr. Sunfold went to the door. There
in a Happing felt lint and a dingy, bottle-green
suit, stood the inJividual who
c i.nbined the three professions of stage
driver, expressman and muil-cirrier to
t .e i lage of Brixbury. He might at
one tint have p issessed a last name,
bit no one knew what it was, and he
was universally known a "Simeon."
"I've made a mistake," said this in
dividual, taking elf the felt hat to
s-.-ratch his head. "I left young Squire
Harrison's trunk here this morning,
and sent the young lady's to Harrison
Hall. IK're it is in the wagon, if ye'Il
just lend a hand, mister, to get it out."
"My trunk at Harrison Hall!" cried
Elsie.
"S iuireHrnsrn's trunk here!" fair
ly shrieked Aunt Phedra. "Then that
accounts for the cigarette and the cap,
and the smoking jacket, and the And
oh, goodness Ralph!" clutching nerv
ously at her nephew's sleeve, "we've
been and broken into a strange man's
trunk. Iloyou suppose they'll arrest
us for larceny?"
But Mr. Sunfold only laughed his
heart was eo light that he could have
laughed at anything now and as he
helped old Simeon bring the pretty
little zinc-covered trunk iii, he glanced
merrily at his aunt.
' '"I don't believe we shall find any
contraband goods here, Aunt Phedra,",
said he.
' "What are ycu talking abt.ul?'' gaid,
Elsie.
And while Aunt Phedra wta getting
tea Ralph told the liftle school ma'arp,
till about it.
"Tea's ready!" said the old lady,
presently, putting ht-rlaveuder-ribboU"
ed rap into the room.
"Stop a minute, Aunt Phedra," aaid
the young man. "Before we go to tea
I wtut you to giveycurconstnt forni
hlly, mind lo our marriage."
"Yes, yt s," said I he old lady, "I con
sent." "With all your heart?" mischievous
ly "demanded Elsie.
"Yts; wilh all my heart," faid she;
and she locked as if she really meant
it.
"Because," said the old lady to her
self, "I have done her Injustice iu my
heart."
Mr. Esplanade I think I could be
more patriotic if I were a school child
or a bank clerk.
Mr. Monterey How is that?
Mr. Esplanade They are about the
only classes who get a holiday ou
Washington's birthday.

OLD NEWSPAPERS.
Some Extracts That May be Interest
ing, With Comments by a
Correspondent.
EniToit Hkra Lis
some time ngo there were placed in
the writer's hands sundry numliers of
the "Somerset Whig," which, so far as
is now known, was probably the first
English newspajicr to be published iu
the town of Somerset. These ancient
newspapers date back to the years lslS,
M!) ami '20, and were presented by the
late Adam Eepley, of .Southampton
township, who was a suliscriber to the
paper iu tiiose early days.
In those days but little attention was
paid to local news, and we venture to
say that many single issues of our
present country papers contain mor
items of local happenings than are to
Ik found iu a dozen of these early utitii-
Ikts of the "Whig;" yet a H-rusul of
thse old lapers shows that they make
mention of a good many things and
events that are really a part of our lo
cal history. In some instances a faint
recollection of them etill lingers in th
ineuiory of the older people, who may
have heard them spoken of in the days
of their youth; the others have long
since been forgotten.
We herewith submit to you for pub
lication in the 1Ikkai.ii some of these
early hapjienitigs that are recorded in
these pajiers, believing that some of
them, at least, will be read with inter
est by the present generation:
By an advertisement we learn that
on 3d of February, lsiS, His Excellen
cy, the I'overnor of Pennsylvania, in
rorirated the Sonier.-et and Bedford
Turnpike Company, which company
was to construct a turnpike rond to
lead from Somerset to a jKiint on the
Harrisburg aud Pittsburg road, and
notice was therefore given to the sub
scriliers to the stock of the company to
meet at the house of J,jcph Filson,
inn keep, r, ou the ('lade road, in Al
legheny township, on the iKh of
March, ldS, for the purpo.se of organ
izing the said company. The Com
missioners giving the notice were:
Jacob Stoner, Wm. C. Dorscy, Jas. M.
Russell, David Mann, Jacob Bonnett,
Samuel Riddle, Rolt-rt Philson, Jacob
Sehnieder and Henry Ankeny.

Jonas Ehert and Michael Hay, ex
ecutors of Henry S'laver, decease.!, of
fer his tavecn statu and farm on the
Great Road, 8 miles west of Somerset;
there being also a grist mill and saw
mill on the premises. (This must be
where Bakersville now is.)
Another grist mill and saw mill, on
the waters of Middlecreek, is offered
for sale by Jacob Crigley. (This mill
in earlier days was known as King's
Mill.)

Pennsylvania'! Forest Areas.
The average man does not seem to
appreciate the value of some of nature'
grenteft gifts until ne has practically
destroyed them. With amazing
thoughtlessness, wantonness or outra
geous se-l fish ness he attacks and in a
comparatively few years exhausts those
natural resources which, with prudent
management, would lie a source of
wealth for many generations, if not for
all time. During the destruction he
seldom listens to words of warning,
and, worse than all, it is almost imiH
sible for any one to secure legislation
which will stay his hand. A notaolo
example of this is the rapid clearing
away of the forests of the slate. From
pros-rity to comparative ruin best do
scrilies the progress of the forestry and
lumlier interests of this great common
wealth. At one time the b-T't wooded
eif all the eastern state's, it has sunk to
an insignificant position in this respect.
Lesi than 3i ier cent of the original
forest area remains, and a large portion
of the growth is unworthy the name
of limlx-r ; thousands of acres of clear
ed or partially cleared land are only lit
for tree growth, but little systematic
ell'ort is made by the owners to so em
ploy it. Through these waste areas
lire-s frequently play, and if something
is not done to check them, when the
day of replanting comes it will be nec
essary, says Prof. I Cot h rock very truly,
to re-store soil as well as trees.
While millions ef tree-s have been out
down and all their marketable parts
sold they constitute only a small nuni
U r compared w ilh those w hich have
lieen levelled for the bark alone. The
numbers of tree trunks allowed to rot
UHn the ground far exceed those which
have been cut into hoards or planks.
In certain parts ff the state the mount
ain sides for miles together are covered
with bark-stripjied, rotting trees,
among wincn stunte-a, nre-seorciieei
grow th is struggling under adverse cir
cumstance's for existence.
For years a few jieople have protest
ed against this wanton destruction and
pointed out the inevitable tuteome.
Gov. Hastings in his recent message to
the "legislature plaoeti the situation
strongly and plainly before the mem
bers in these words :
"This is peThaiw, the first generation
in this commonwealth that has been
brought face to fae-e with the dangers
and disasters of a tiniU-rless country.
The removal of the marketable tim tier
from our forests, thus cutting oil one of
the great industries of the state, and
the fae-t that Pennsylvania is no longer
able to supply her own inhabitants the
lumUr which they require, are of
themselves discouraging : but, when
coupled with the apprehension that
further destruction of the forests will
work rpetual harm to our agricultur
al interests, the situation becomes
alarming. It is recognized as a fact
that of the waters which full upon
clearetl areas four-fifths are lost because
they run immediately out of the coun
try, while four-fifths of the waters
which full upon our forest areas are
saved ; thus proving that if the vast
volume's of water w hich so frequently
deluge the state could be retained long
enough to soak into the ground, de
struciive tlootls would le prevented
and the consequent loss of projie rty
and life averted. Two tloods have oc-curre-d
within the past eight years of
unequaled proportions and destmct
iveness. Large areas of alluvial soil
once tilled have been abandoned along
the Juniata river because the reHated
lloods have made it impossible to
maintain fences or mature crops. This
is true also of other portions of the
state. During the past eight years the
valle-ys of the Juniata ami the West
branch of the Susquebunna have lost
more than a million dollars in the
bridges vIiich were swept away. The
recurring tloeds oversowing the banks
of nearly all our rivers and the conse
quent loss of property, the personal
danger, apprehension and fear, are
quite enough to excite serious solici
tude." The situation is, indeed, alarming.
If the prcse'Ut wanton ele-structiou is al
lowed to continue there will soon be no
forests in the state. It is time the leg
ist iture acted vigorously not only to
prolee-t the trees which are still stand
ing, but to si legislate that all the for
est areas will le increased. As Gov.
Hastings has intimated, there is even
more than the lumbe r interests at stake;
the very fertility ef the soil is involved,
as well as an equable water supply.

Three Blessings.
An old clergyman who formerly liv
ed, in a New Hampshire tow u was re
niark.able for his eccentric mode-s of
speee:h. His way of asking a blessing
was so peculiar as to sometime afTee-t
the risi tiles of his guests, although he
apparently was entirely unconscious of
this fact.
When he seated himself S.t the break
fast table and saw pread upon it a
meal greatly to his liking, he said,
'Lrd, we thank thee for this excell
ent breakfast of which we are to pur
take." A more simple meal, but one which
he still regarded as comparatively sat
isfactory, would cause him to say,
"Lord, we thank thee for this good
breakfast se t before us."
But when the minister's eye roamed
over the table and saw there nothing
which was especially to his taste, al
though the tone in which he uttered
his petition was not lacking in fervor,
his sentiments were clearly to be dis
covered. "Lord," he invariably said on these
occasions, "fill our hearts wilh thank
tulness, we beseech thee, for this meal
set before us; for with thee all things
are riossible."

011 examination to a large jr cent, of
wuter, starch aud chalk, makes us feel
that we are sutlcring under an embar
rassment of riches not reckoned on.
The remedy for this w hole-sale adul
teration must of necessity lie largely
with the consumers, for as long as they
are w illing to accept these unholy e-om-binations
without raising the voice of
protest, so long toe-y doubtless may.
While every housi'keejHT cannot keep
a lalstratory in running order for il.-.iiy
analysis of her f-xsl, some simple ele
tective measures lie within her reach.
Bread made of w heat Hour should lie
white, with no acid taste; the crumb
should show small, regular cavities,
the walls of which should Is.' tender;
no streaks or patches of heaviness
should lie ili.-eerail.le, and at least an
eighth of the loaf should be cnist.
For butter, the easiest test is its moiling
point. Pure butter shows signs of
melting at 21 degrees ; boe-f suet remains
adamant until .'ii degrees, and mutton
suet shows no signs of relenting until
3S degrees. The other adulterations
require, the aid of a nucroseiqie-.
CofJ'.-e reveals its true character by
being moistened ami : squeezed in the
hand. The pure entile will not hold
together, Hh-i ou pressure being remov
ed, falls at once into poweler. An adul
terated article may lie rolled into a co
hesive ball. A simple test for the
presenile of w ater in milk is the immer
sion of a knitting needle in the liquid.
If the milk clings t the needle, and
drops slowly from the end, it is pure ;
but if it runs ofT quickly it has been
mixed w ith water.
Eer Calla Lily.
A Buffalo woman went to California
so spend a w :nt. r. She is a great lover
of Mowers. She has her yard full of
them iu the summer aud her house
f ill of them in the w inter. Her parti
cular pride is a big calla. When she
was making up her list of things to
take to California, she included the
tulla. She read the list to her hus
band. When she came to the calla, he
sai l, "Now, I wouldn't take that cal
la." "Why uot?" she asked, with some
asperity. "I never thought so much
of a plant in my life as I do of that
calhi, and I just know it will be full of
bl'k-soms this w inter, and I wouldn't
miss see-ing them and smelliug them
for the world."
The first letter home coutained this
paragraph:
"I must tell you about that calla. It
was the greatest bother you ever saw.
I almost wore myself to a shadow tak
ing rare of it. But I carrie-d it along,
thinking of the lovely blossoms it
would surely have this winter. By the
time I got into California I was sick
aud tired of it and nervous and worried
and all that. But I remembered the
comfort the bhssoms would lie to ine
wiieu they came. When I got up on
the morning of the last day, I looked
out ef the car window, and may I
never see Bjll'alo again if the train
wasn't running through a field of callus
so big that I couldn't se its limits. I
j:ist sat down and had a good cry. To
