Philosophers and economists are now
aking themselves tbe question: "Why
is an express company?" Tbey have not
been able to figure it out further than to
reach the conclusion that the function ot
an express company is to rob tbe people
and prevent tbe Post-olllee Department
from becoming self sustaining. Punxy

Governor Tfnkh lu an address de
levered at Harrlsburg last Thursday
night at the annual banquet of Group 5 of
tbe Pennsylvania State Bankers' As
sociation spoke emphatically In favor of
a sta'e bond Issue of $"0.000,000 for a
system of good roads to make Penusyl
vania'a highways tbe best In the country.
TI10 Governor's declaration followed
tbe lines of his inaugural and Is signifi
cant in view of recent dlscussloD of ways
of financing Ibe project embraced in the
Sproul good roads bill. In addition Ui
favoring this view, the Governor said
that be desired to see tbe bonds sold as
needed.
The solicitude or the railroads for tbe
country's welfare would be sublime if it
were'nt so blamed ridiculous. Since the
Interstate commerce coram iasion decided
against the raising of freight rates most
of tbe big presidents of the big railroads
have been shedding great salt tears lest
the country might go to sticks, and Wall
Street is doing its "utmost" to avert a pan
ic. Sotue of the big city newspapers are
likewise "frightened" at the audacity of
the commerce commission, and are pre
dicting all sorts of dire calamities to come.
Meanwhile tbe common people are calmly
pursuing the noiseless tenor of their way,
acting as though tbey rather enjoyed the
situation as It now stands.
It is our delibeiate intention, provid
ing we are permitted to hang around on
til next spring, to have the lineal veneta
ble garden lu town. Our purpose is not
so inucti to excite tne envy or our neigh
bors, some of whom imagine they know
something about gardening, ss to get a
little wholesome exercWn and at the same
lime raise enough "truck" to keep us
through ma summer. Punxy spirit.
Just what we've been counting on do
ing lo a "1" In fact, bave been doing for
tbe last Ave or six years back. Yes sir,
Br'er Smith, we can give you some good
pointers op bow it's done: When tbe
blue birds chirp again "set tbe boy to
work." The exercixe is mighty whole-
some, and If you keep a good eye on the
boy your truck patch will last you all
summer.
Hoover Expiates Crime on the Gallows.
Walking erect, and with eyes looking
straight before bitn, Alton V. Hoover
went to his death In the county Jail at
Erie last Thursday morning.
Hoover bad broken down the day be
fore because of tbe sound of workmen, as
they erected ibe scaffold, but by midnight
he bad recovered hia composure, and
slept until the death watch called him at
daybreak.
He ate a hearty breakfast and spent
much of the remaining bouts with his
spiritual adviser, Rev. Dr. Bailey, of the
Presbyterian church, who accompanied
bitn to the gallows.
When all was in readiness, as soon after
the legal hour for the banging as possible,
the olllcers of tbe prison eutered Hoover's
cell, and in a few minutes tbe march to
tbe gallows commenced.
Hoover walked between Sheriff Br tiff.
of Allegheny county, and Sheriff H. W.
Moomy, of Erie county, without a (alter
ing stop. He mounted the gallows and
stood alone when Slier I If lirull pinioned
bis arms and tbe black csp and noose
were adjusted, lie did Dot say a word,
and at 10:23 the trap waa sprung. The
body shot downward, but it was 11 min
utes belore Hoover was pronounced dead.
Tbe body was turned over to relatives
for burial.
Hoover's crime, committed on tbe
night of November 28, 1908, at Atlantic,
Crawford county, was a most brutal one.
He murdered tbe woman to whom he
bad been married fur less than two years,
and who bad borne bitn a son. He called
tbe woman to tbe door of the bouse in
which she was visiting and fired three
shots into ber body. Sbe was removed to
the Spencer hospital, Meadville, for
treatment, and later taken lo Lakeside
hospital, Cleveland, where Blie received
surgical attentiou from the most skilful
physicians In the city. She died Decem
ber 27 lo tbe hospital.
At Erie Friday there was given out for
publication what purported to be the final
statement of Alton V. Hoover, given be
fore death to his spiritual adviser, Rev.
George Bailey. In this Hoover bad little
lo say, further Ibau that he always loved
bis wife and Ibal be could not account for
tbe shooting. He pointed out some dis
crepancies In tbe testimony under which
be was convicted. According to tbe
minister Hoover made a profession of
religion.

Tbe Buffalo health authorities profess
to b dieve that tbe typhoid epidemic at
Erie has been caused by dead tish, tons
of decaying ones being annually dumped
into Lake Erie. Similar epidemics are
predicted for Dunkirk and Buffalo.
Erie's typhoid epidemic la still increas
ing. Since the first of the year there have
been 726 cases and 71 deaths. The prob
ability Is that the 1000 mark will be
reached belore the upward tendency ends
with perhaps 100 deaths. Seven deaths
occurred last Sunday, tbe highest record
since tbe disease became epidemic
Anthrax which is commonly called
"black leg," or "bloody quarter," which
affects all kinds of livestock and which
may be even contracted by humana, has
made its appearance near the Conetnaugb
river, just across the Indiana County line
in Westmoreland County. This is One
of the most deadly and contagious dis
eases that attacks livestock.
A prominent teacher of tbe idea that
tuberculosis could be avoided, or cured
by living out of doors and eating only
raw foods, has Just died of that disease.
We can not always depend upon theories
and usually tbe best protection against
disease for one person is dangerous to
some others.
What is tbe matter with Farmer
Creasy? He has heretofore been a lead
ing tariff reform Democrat, an antl-blgh
protectionist, and yet he appears belore
the renate finance committee, introduced
by Senator Penrose, a confirmed pro
tectionist, now supporting tbe Canadian
reciprocity treaty, and makes a plea for
the defeat of that pact. Farmer Creasy is
lame in his political economy and does
not read tbe signs of the times aright.
He Is making a grevious mistake and
causing his friends much distress. Ti

If lamp cbimneya are robbed over
with salt after washing, a more brilliant
light is tbe result. Various kitchen ap
pointments and utensils also derive bene
fit from the application of salt. The sink
and pipes connected with it can be kept
fragrant and free from grease by being
flushed twice a week with hot brine; to
rub over the inside of a dish pari daily
with dry salt achieves tbe same end, and
aaucepans will always smell sweet II,
alter scouring inside and out, they are
riused first with hot salted water, then
with plain cold, carolullv dried and put
away. Discolored crockery should be
rubbed with dry salt, enameled cooking
vessels with a flannel, or if much stained
with a leinon-SK In dipped in tbe same;
copper utensils respond to tbe latter
treatment, while milkpans should be
given an occasional scouring with dry
salt, being afterwards scalded, rinsed and
dried in tbe usual way. If when clean

been stained by being used for eggs, a
little salt Is rubbed on the bowl, tbe stain
will be at once removed. Cut Dowers

Jimmy's Recitation.
Jimmy Is one of the most enthusias
tic member of his Sunday school. He
Is usually very tUicl. but when, soon
after he joined, a storm prevented
iuauy nieiiilieis of his class from com
ing to inke their parts lu a long
pin lined entertainment Jimmy could
not endure in silence the distress of bis
teacher.
"Hi can speak a piece," bo said bash
fully. "Oh, can yon? What is It about?"
" 'Bout the beasts that wcut with
Noah."
"Well, said the distracted teacher, "I
haven't time lo hear It uow, but 1
think It oiijrht to help Gil up. Thank
you. Jimmy."
When Jimmy's nauio was called the
small man mounted the platform, put
his hands in his pockets and proudly
and loudly spouted the following;
The helk and the helophant hentered the

When the helophant hopened the ball.
The hll hashed the helcphant, "What's

Said the helcphant, "'Ay Is hall."

Coyote and Jack Rabbit.
The speed of the Jack rabbit has al
ways been proverbial among western
men, like tae speed of a coyote. In a
straightaway race It is claimed that
the Jack rabbit can distance the coyote,
but he usually falls a victim to the
coyote's superior intelligence. The fa
vorite coyote method for catching Jack
rabbits U for one of the animals lo
start a Jack and attend to the work of
keeping the victim on the run. while
the other coyote sits down, patiently
awaiting the arrival of his dinner
The Jack rabbit when he has a free
range will run in circles, and the
coyotes cleverly count on this habit.
Before loujr the rabbit will arrive at
the place from which he started, and
there coyote No. 2. fresh and ready
for a short sprint, will swoop down
upon him iind then divide the meal
with the coyote that has done the ac
tual chasing. New York Press.
Hunting Truffles aa Sport.
Quite apari from the Interest of
fungi to the naturalist the temptation
cannot here be resisted to refer lo a
method of procuring one kind of fun
gus, which .nlyht take rank nun UK fie
minor spo-ts. This is the fashion,
original ing ,u France, of procuring the
ti'tillle by tbe aid of swine and hounds.
More 111 assorted sporting companions
can hardly be Imagined. The truflle
grows underground. Pigs are partic
ularly font' of these delicacies ntid.
gulileil by tho scent, will discover
them by rooting In the earth. After
the discovery of the truffles tbe dogs
are employed to beat back the pigs
and prevent them from devouring the
spoil. And every quality dear to the
sportsman of skill and Judgment Is
