Vajr hack in tbe twenties tbe Delaware
and flndcon Canal company ponged a
channel in tbe fuce of tbe eartb from
Kondont to Houehdale and called it a
canal. For reservoirs and feeders to this
canul tbe level of pond and bikes along
tbe ronte wag raised by means of damn
from 12 to 20 feet While tbe dams
were in process of building tbe timber
aliont tb ponds was felled up to tbe
artificial water line, aud in many canes
really valuable lnmlier was lelt todtcay
w here it fell. Tbee dead trunks formed,
when tbe water rme to it newer level.
. tbe basis of these floating islands, which
may be found in no many of tbe lake
t.t Wayne comity. Intertwining brant h
es aud twigs of the trees themselves and
large qnantities of underbrush served
to bind tbe logs togetlier in something
like a solid mass, thereby forming rafts
of more or less buoyancy aud size. In
tbe course of time water weeds of va
rious kinds attached themselves to the
raft, and eventually became a part of
it. Gradually a light, tbin mold ac
cumulated on tbe island, and in this
mold birds planted seeds and grain,
which, spronting. growing and finally
dying and rotting, did their part in the
making of tbe whole. All of tbe larger
islands bear from one to a score of trees,
many of which bave attained a consid
erable growth.
You might suppose that to walk
npon or toftVh from cue of these islands
would be a source of tonue danger, bnt,
aside from an ticcasiunal wetting of tbe
feet no accidents from this cause bave
-ver occurred, so far as I bave been able
to learn. Tbe sensation produced by
walking on a floating island is very
pimihtr to that which yon and I bave
Imtb experienced when, ns boys, we ran
on tbin, yonng ice, or thicker old and
rott-n ice. Yon remember bow tbe ice
csed to l-nd under your weight as yon
ran acres it. sometimes sinking nearly
a foot and then with the next tep ris
ing to meet yon, possibly throwing yon
aud perhaps giving yon a dnckiug?
Well, it's the same way with tbe float
ing islands, but with the clement of
danger eliminated. It baa the same fas
cination. '.trange as it may eem, very few of
these floating islands bave liecome per
manently anchored to tbeliottom of the
lakes. Tbey are as nomadic aud as un
settled in their habits as tbe Arab.
Tbey lack what we country people call
fctick-to-iliveuess. Tbey are the ccn
trariest ensses that ever happened.
Sometimes a mere breath of wind will
send one of them scooting from one end
of the lake to tbe other and again yon
couldn't bedge that same island with
a 100 ton, compound freight locomotive
and a ilitical pall. Once thoroughly
domesticated, however, tbey make ex
cellent weather vanes, for they invaria
bly seek the lee shore of tbe lake.
"I recall a peculiar thing that hap
pened years ago ti tbe island in White
Oak pond, near Aldenville. some eight
or nine inib-a to tbe north and west of
Honesdale. By tbe way. this particular
island is tbe largest of tbe lot ; so large,
in fact, that tbe renter rises fully ten
feet abeve tbe water line. Tbe farmer
owning this island proposed erecting a
summer house on the elevation, but
W8 obliged to give it np owing to his
inability to lay a projwr foundation
without driving piles, and to do that
would result in nailiiig the island to
tbe bottom.
"Well, as I was going to say, tbia is
land one day eloped with a southwest
zephyr, which promptly deserted as
ftoon as it bad get its consort into tbe
middle cf tbe lake. There it fluated in
a enltry mnhncr sun. with no mean of
motion in itself and milking time ap
proaching. Presently tbe edge of a lit
tle breeze from tbe northwest struck
tbe wanderer on tbe port quarter and
thing? began to kok a little brighter.
Unfortunately for tbe island, however,
at abont the same moment that tbe first
Knst landed a wind of equal intensity
came np from tbe southeast and its
edge canght tbe island on tbe starboard
bow. In less than a minute these two
contrary winds bad that island spin
ning around like a top. Yon may be
lieve this or not, as yon like. I can
show you tbe island any time that
you'll come vp to the old county.

"When I first began to read Kip

"my curiosity was immensely piqued
by tbe scraps of verse with which be

were all credited to poems I bad never
beard of in my life and were just such
salient, striking fragments as would
naturally whet one's appetite for the
remainder. For over a year I triei bard
to locate those mysterious poems and
enlisted half a dozen book dealers in
tbe search. At last one of them wrote
me that I was wasting time and that
the alleged quotations were merely Mr.
Kipling's little joke.
"In other words, he manufactured
"fin to order and stnek them at the top
of bis tales for tbe sake of the odor of

A Rtdtcnloos Yarn Pot Out Intended
to Discredit the State's Executive
aud Philadelphia's Chief Magistrate
Attacked For UN Inilfpeoaeut Po
litical Counso.
tSpoclal Correspondonee.)
Philadelphia, June 13. Since It has
been demonstrated that the Insurgent
will not have an earthly show to in
fluence tbe action of the Republican
stale convention In any particular,
they have taken up an old line of work,
or, at least, have concluded to direct
their best efforts to the prosecution of
a branch of their guerrilla campaign
In which they have displayed their
cre.i.test rapabilties. 'ihfy have in
augurated a scheme 1o cr.rry their man
hunting tactics even further than tb
have heretofore pone to advance th5
selfish intciests of the ambitious co
terie who f-.irr.Ush the cash to keep the
various bureaus in operation. The
loaders of the Republican party In
Pennsylvania are to be maligned and
traduced by various misrepresentations
and uncalled for assaults, so as to
weaken tlifra with tbe people and at
tbe same time discredit the regular or
ganization and handicap the move
ments of the party renerally. It la
now patent that tbe insurgents can
not be a factor lu the Republican state
convention and. that their aim Is In
create a feeling of suspicion and dia
trust in the niinds of the voters, so that
they may more readily carry out their
plans for an alliance with the Democ
racy, not only to defent the Ropubli
an nominee for state treasurer thi--fall,
but to further their grand project
to elect fusion members of the legisla
ture next year, where they shall b;
unable to name or control the Repub
lican nominees for the senate and the
bouse.
Ml ST II WE MORE VICTIMS.
The campaign of vituperation atd
abuse which was waged against Sen
ator Quay during the last few yeirs 's
to be continued, but cmong their In
sidious and venomous attacks are sev
eral distinguished Republicans who
have been honored by their party, sr.d
who luive led iU forces to victory oa
many occasions.
The Insurgents realize that the power
of tbe faction which they renresent has
been steadily on the wan! for n couplo
of years. They started out with the
governor of tbe state and his entire
cabinet aud nearly all of the subordi
nate ofT-cers ou '"the hill" at Harris
burr;, giving them hearty co-operation
and support In every political mow
they mnde against Colonel Quay and
the cilier le-nlers identified with tbo
regulrr Republican organization. They
had tbe backing of the Immense pat
ronage and public franihises of the
two larre:;t cities of the common
wealth. Philade'phla and Pittsburg,
and they had, through this power, a
hold upon some of the greatest cor
porations In the state, with an almost
unlimited supply of free railroad trans
portation at their disposal.
But mark the change!
Hastings. McCoririck and Martin f re
no longer In office at llarrisbure. Th
regulars, with Stone. Elkir: and Oist,
are now In absolute command of tha.
offices at the state capital. Thev were
placed there by the vote3 of the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania, and thy
propose to show that the confidence;
: nd responsibility rpored In tbem has
not been misplaced.
In this citv there has also been a
complete political revclution.
MARTIN'S FRIEND OUT.
Warwick, who backed David Mar
tin's political machine with all the
pu!l of the thousands of place holdenj
in the various city departments, ha
been supplanted In the mayor's office
by Ashbridpe, who won his nomina
tion and election as the Republican
candidate for mayor by a direct ap
peal to the people and who was given
the office l.y the largest majority ever
accorded any aspirant for office In the
Quaker City. With the overthrow of
Warwick came tbe downfall of Martin
Ism. Martin no longer ru!es with un
disputed sway In the City Hall. He Is
treated with due courtesy and consid
eration, bet must take his place In
line with other citizens and taxpayers
when he now calls at the mayor's of
fice. The people have begun to realize
thut this Is a popular administration,
snd that any Republican, as far as
political mailers are concerned, stands
upon the same footing before the
mayor.
Pittsburg, alone, through the Influ
ence of Magee and Flinn, stands by
what Is left of a once powerful politi
cal machine, the remains of which
make up tbe practical part of what Is
known as the insurgents' organization.
Besides the few officeholders still
standing by Martin in the positions
independent of tbe Ashbridge adminis
tration Philade'phia furnl hes the bulk
of the Insurgent newspaper baking
and the money to run the machine.
After many inglorious defeats In
their attempts to elect delegates to
the state convention the injtirguts. as
previously stated, are now at work
plotting to harrass and destroy, if
possible, the men In public office whi
refuse to bow to their will or obe
thPir mandates.
The people are familiar with the In
cessant end unjustifiable attacks tc
which Governor Stone was subjected
during the entire session of the lesis
lature and the subsequent criticisms
cf the nian'.y ve-.tes of measured to
v.hlch he could not consistently or
bono; ably append his signature.
SILLY STORY ABOUT STONE.
Tbe insurgents' literary bureau has
now begun to circulate the most un
warranted and ridiculous storie? about
the governor, hoping to prejudice the
people aeainst him. They have started
t report throughout the state that Gov
ernor Stone has painted the coat ot
arms of the commonwealth upon his
private carriage.
It is almost Impossible to realize 4
that there are persons in this suppos
edly intelligent community with such
little common sense at their disposal
as to believe such an absurd story, put
out, as it is, with all those furbelows
and fringes that are so characteristic
cf the Insurgent lit era y bureau. And
yet a Democratic convention in But
ler county, taking the matter s?riousl7,
actually denounced Governor Stone in
let terms for "placing the coat of arms
of Pennsylvania on the panels of hl.
carriage."
It is presumed that In the midst of
this continued hot weather a certain
degree of lunacy is permissible, but
lunacy that reaches beyond a certain
f'egree is apt to drive the victim to
tbe Insane asylum. These Butler Dem
ocrats are dangerously near the divid
ing line. Lest they may have Imita
tors elsewhere, lest others may make
then.selvc3 equally ridiculous. It may
be well to overtake the lie and smash
It with the truth end save well mean
ing Democrats from exciting their
brains while the sun is still powerful.
Away back In the time of Governor
Braver the state provided a carriage
for the use of the executive. It was
the property of the state. Just as Is the
executive mansion at Harrisburg, aud
very properly it bore the coat of arms,
for it was an official carriage. It was
used by Governor Beaver, It was used
by Governor Pattison. It was used by
Covernor Hastings. During three ad
ministrations of four years each It
was in n. therefore, and th ame
carriage is still in existence. This in
the Ktory. and this is all there is in it
Governor Stone's private carriage
tears a simple monogram. Just as do
all nrivate carrisses la tu Und c--.
i&iuu! uie simple initials ot ti name.
TOO MUCH FOR ii'CLURE.
Colonel A. K. McChire. in the Phil--Selpbia
Times, which has persistently
ppoed Senator Quay and published
many of the Insurgents' attacks upc:i
,he stalwart Republicans, declined t
ritit this carriage story.
"'Governor Sone." he frankly says
In a leading editorial, "has proved
much criticism for his otbcial political
acts and they are fairly open to dis
pute, but he isn't a fool, nor is he a
swell pretender. He is a straightfor
ward, every day governor, who regara
his political duties ra p:iremorf "id
performs them with the courage thit
commands the respect of even thof
who differ from him.
"The statement tbet he has taken a
swell departure by having the coat
cf arms of the state emblazoned cn bis
carriage is too silly to be worthy even
of contradiction, but hen a conven
tion of one of tbe western counties
Jammed the coat of arms carriage into
a series of partisan resolutions it b.--romes
a nece-ity to step such politic :i
tomfoolery by telling the truth.
"Governor Stcce has the use of a;i
official carriage that belongs to the
state, just the same as that used br
cis predecessors for many years, and
he has made no more Qispiay In th
carriage line than is due to his por
tion and to the peoiie of the state
He may b- criticized for many political
tits connected with hU administration,
but political carpers would do well t3
leave the carriage business out until
aoiue fool happens to be tumbled int-i
the executive chair."
This eairiaKe story is but a Ranipli?
c.f the many despicable reports that arj
put afloat to hurt the governor.
ASHBRIDGE ALSO A MARK.
The same tactics that have been dis
played in their treatment of tbe gov
ernor have been exhibited in this cit
within the last few weeks by the In
surgent newspapers in their raid upon
Mayor Asbbridge's administration.
Every Philadelphia paper carrying the
full pa'e Wanamaker advertisement
has swung around in its political
course in a startliug manner. Every
Important change of an ollice holder
under the old Warwick regime calls
forth a howl of protests from the;
newspaper organs. Attempts to reor
ganize the various bureaus and briiis
about reductions in the force, in lino
with Mr. Ashbridge's policy of econ
omy, provokes criticism and charges
that the mayor or his subordinates who
recommend the changes are actuated
by political considerations Meanwhile
Ashbridge proceeds to carry out tbe
plans outlined for bis administration,
and while the politicians of the Mar
tin school and their newspaper allies
roundly denounce him daiiy, the mayor
calmly pushes bis work ahead, and.
like Governor Stone, commands the
respect and confidence of the people,
who recognize the motive of nis trj
Uueers.
HE STILL LIVES.
A Caae Where Med lea I Seleaee Made
a. Little Mlaealealatlaa.
"Medical science occasionally makes
a grand miscalculation," said an old
'itizen. "I never pass a certain bonM;
on lower Prospect street withont re
membering that 28 years ago a certain
noted doctor of this town he (lied re
cently condemned me to death. 'You
bave but a week to live." be said.
"This was information of somewhat
serious import to me. although, at that
time, I didn't ninch care whether it
was a week or a month. But I went to
another doctor. 'Are yon really fright
ened?' he asked. 'No,' I said; "I've got
beyond that' Tben be remarked. 'Yon
can't last a month." Somehow this cor
roborative testimony didn't satisfy me.
Before 1 got through my search for in
formation I consulted eight doctors.
Aud, by tbe way. I was bnnting through
tbe second week before I made the
rounds. Of course they all agreed pret
ty well. Tbe most liberal wan of the
lot said I might pull through for a year,
but he greatly doubted it. Tbe other
medicos gave me from a week tj three
months.
- Well, sir, I've attended the funerals
of five of those doctors, aud, please
God. I'll ree the other three under the
sod before I qnit
'"Understand me I was a pretty
tough object at that time. A bronchial
trouble bad worn me to tkin and bone.
I walked with a cratch and a cane. I
conld scarcely talk. All tbe doctors
agreed that my lungs were pat mend
ing. Five of them said I bad but one
lung left, and that, tbey claimed, was
on its last legs.
"Well, wben I went to the ninth
doctor, I was mad clear throngh. I
knew he didn't baVe a blessed idea con
cerning my case. But he tried bard to
look knowing and went back to bis lit
tle drag tank and presently returned
with a neat package wrapped in white
paper. I handed bim the $2 bedemand
ed and walked away. 'Here, ' be said :
'yon've forgotten your medicine. I
tnrned back. 'No. I haven't.' I said
hotly : 'I left it there purposely. Give
it to tbe next credulous fool whose case
yon don't understand." Say. it did me
good to get mad. I went home, chucked
every drag into the ash barrel, staid
ont in tbe open air all I could, wasn't
tbe least bit careful aliont myself,
