If It is true that Amundsen has
reached tbe Soutb Pole then be abould be
aeot posthaste to find tbe northern slick,
thus putting Cook and Peary in Ibe
clear.
We note that M. I. McCreigbt, of Du
Bois, an excellent man in all respects by
tbe way, as we bear, is being lavishly
boomed for nomination for Congress-at-large
at tbe Republican State convention.
But what bas that to do wltb our early
suggestion that Hon. W. O. Smith of
Puoxautawney be made one of tbe nomi
nees? Living witbin a stone's tbrow of
one another both could not rea-onsbly be
nominated, and we insist that, on tbe
score of all-around fitness for tbe place,
tbia big Commonwealth holds no belter
material than Mr. Smith, and as we view
it tbe good material is what tbe people
want.
Did you ever ask yourself why you
bake bands 'with a person whom you
koowT Here Is a reason given by tbe
New York Sun. In the old days, when
every man who made any pretentiona to
being a gentleman carried a aword, it was
a custom for men when they met, to show
that tbey bad no intentions of treachery,
to offer each other their weapon bands
that is, tbe band that would be used to
draw tbe aword, and to withhold the band
was usually the signal for a fight. So
fixed did this habit become that long after
men ceased to wear swords tbey still
offered tbe weapon band to friend and
declined to offer It to an enemy. To Ibis
day when you refuse to shake bands with
person it signifies ibatyou are at war.
Among savages, who never carry swords,
tbe practice of shaking bands Is unknown
and it affords amusement to see tbe white
men do it.
Basket Ball at Clarington.
One of the best guinea of the season was
played on Saturday evening, March 0th,
between the strong Fislicr team and the C.
II. S. team at Clarington, in which the
locals won by a score of 20 to 15. The lo
cals did fine passing work but could not
locate the basket. The Fisher guards were
there to hold them down on the goal pitch
ing. They were perfect gentlemen both on
and off the floor, not a word being passed
between any of the players. After the
game was over they enjoyed themselves
with our pretty girls and then returned
home feeling much better than when tbey
came, by making friends with our young
folks. Any crowd like they were is an
honor to any town. The only mishap was
Braden being unable to play the second
balf. Following is the line-up:

The strong Independent team of Frank

and will make the locals play to win. This
will be the best game of the season. It will
be exciting and interesting for all. Come
and see the game and after it is over you
w ill be glad you came out, for the locals
will play a fast game.
On Saturday evening, March 16th, the C.

the Fisher floor, and expect to be shown a
good time. D.

Cliadnun's Florida Letter.
I remember a few years ago wben tbe
budding rustic prima daonas and tbe
agrsrlan maidens, ater banging out tbe
week's clothes and white-washing tbe
front fence and chasing the Chester white
pigs out of the front yard flower beds,
would roll down their skirts, brush their
own bair back from their gentle lore
beads, and then gallop into tbe parlor and
warble "Come where tbe lillies bloom so
fair."
And If tbe light-hearted maid bad at
tained sufficient skill in tbe tecbuio of In
strumental musio she would press ihe
keys of ibe baby grande melodeon with a
firm and persuasive touch, and work Ihe
tread-mill attachment with ber feet after
Ihe manner, measure and time of a one
man grindstone; and the commingled
melody of voice and instrument would
peicolate tLrouirh the tlyacreena of tbe
windows and float out upon and over and
through the whiterobed branches of tbe
ox-beart cherry trees ami sooth tbe ear of
the blasphemous hired man as be backed
up bis plow, the share of which bad spite
fully run in under a submerged rock.
And this morning as I sit here without
a csre or a thought as the first paragraph
of Ibia Improvised rbaspody will compel
any Intelligent individual to note I feel
like calling out to everybody everywhere
to come, come somewhere; come to
Southern Florida if they like, where tbe
lillies bloom all right; where much more
tban llllle bloom; wbere tbe air Is "jist
nateh'ly" polluted with perfume, and
wbere tbe graceful palms and batn-boo-boos
and bays and magnolias aud pal
mettos twine and Intertwine their tops
and away to and Irom, al-a-tuan left and
ladies chain, to tbe measured forty
miles an hour swell of the soft south
wind and the wing-fsn of tbe Joyous song
bird and ibe hovering buzzard!
Now, I so no plagiarist and I did not
lake tbe above partly mellifluous lan
guage from tbe ubiquitous Florida real
estate ad. Tbe allusion to tbe buzzard
should dispel any such thought, but I
tbink that that scavenger bird baa as
mucb right to have bis name in the pub
lic prints aa and other winged cieature,
or tbe "Ozark haun' dwag," don't you?
Why, it it were not for tbe buzzard in
these latitudes tbe pedesterians would
stumble over nine dead cats and twelve
ordinary carrions on bis way to tbe post
office. It seems that work down here re
quires more exercise than it does up
No'th, and nobody ever did such a men
ial thing as to bury a dead cat. It is all
right to talk and talk about Ibe redolence
In tbe air, the wash of tbe placid ses, tbe
silvery moon and the opalescent and duo
tinted sky, but one glance at 63 ravenous
buzzards gleefully doing Ibe work of tbe
sanitary board by gulping down mouth
fulls of decomposed cat aud larvae filled
fish-head, gives it all a sudden and Bevere
set bark.
But Ibis Is neither cheerful Dor appe
tizing. Quite no. I ouly wish I could
change conditions here In that respect as
easily as I csn rbanae tbe subject. I like
this climate, I like tbe flowers, ibe zeph
yrs, tbe sky , tbe moon, tbe sslt sea breeze
and tbe January hammock scenes, but it
would not appeal to me on a meou card.
Not to any great extent. I do not envy
anybody bis particular climate, and cli
mate Is tbe cbiel asset in some localities.
I have beard of sales of tbe clear blue sky
up No'tb, and here we dispose of climate
also much a foot front. I do not covet
Ibe man who bas climate for ssle; if it is
all be has in slock it is only natural be
should devote all his time in advertising
t, noT As lor me I tbink I still prefer
that climate wbere tbe poor down-trodden
bop toad is not compelled to stay awake
all tbe year and search for food. I be
lieve Ibe toad here should baye tbe same
privilege ol sleeping away a few months
as the toad up No'th has, I do not be
lieve in discrimination along those Hues,
snd I flatter myself you will join me in
that tbink wben you come to think about
it.
I might goon and tell you of the big
fish I caught but nobody would believe it.
A story in which a 300 poond fish figured
prominently would be branded as a myth
and tbe teller thereof plsced In tbe Ana
nias class. But this is tbe age oi skeptics,
and I am geltiog tired paying lor photos
to send along to corroborate my texts.
Even tbe big cily papers compelled me to
do that, but they figure the photos in.
It doesn't matter much whether we are
in the No'th or tbe South, or in between,
life U not vastly different. If one rides
on the cars three days and three nights
snd lands in a country where sunstroke
is the only disease and be ia wearing un
der garmets of the wool wollen, be will
inaugurate a change with some baste, aud
that Is all there Is to it. Of course it may
require more time to acquaint the inner
man with the difference in grub, but be
fore long you will come to your grits and
biscuit.

TATTERED BATTLE FLAGS
GREETED BY HOUSE
Members Cheer a They Vote to Pre
serve Trophies Perry's Naval
Flag Shown.
Washington. Not In a long time
las such genuine patriotic enthtibiusin
been Been in the House of Represen
tatives as when tbe bill appropriat
ing $30,000 for the repair, preserva
tion and exhibition of the 130 Ivorhy
flaga which record the history of the
American navy from IS 12 to the pres
ent time was under discussion.
Tbe bill was passed unanimously,
while members, both Democratic and
Republican, cheered and banged tbeir
desks and openly wiped the tears from
their cheeks.
The first demonstration occurred
when a great square ensign of navy
blue with yellowed white letters strag
gling across it was thrown 'over a big
easel placed In the well In front of tbe
Speaker's desk.
"This tatterod eubigu," said Repre
sentative Bates of Pennsylvania in
ringing tones, "is Commodore Perry's
battle flag, inscribed with the words
'Don't give up the ship,' the last utter
ance of Capt. Lawrence of the ill star
red frigate Chesapeake. It was hoist
ed to the masthead of Perry's flagship
at the battle of Lake Erie as the sig
nal for action. Don't you want it pre
served?" Thero was silence for a moment and
then every member of the House,
young and old, Republican and Demo
crat, jumped to bis feet, making all
the noiBe possible. It wasn't the sort
of a demonstration, either, that is ac
corded to a Representative who offers
a trick of oratory or a turn of speech.
Then while Mr. Bates, who is a
member of the Naval Committee, re
ferred briefly to historic naval bat
tles In which the United States was
victorious pages draped other historic
flags across an easel for the House to
see. Some of them were mere rags,
tattered, torn, moth eaten and discol
ored. Others, some not the oldest
among them, were faded, but almost
whole. A cheer from the House greet
id the production of each trophy.
The real feature was a speech by
Representative Wltherspoon of Miss
issippi, called "Uncle Sam" because of
his resemblance to the popular con
ception of that national figure. Mr.
Wltherspoon. who is a member of the
Naval Committee, said that originally
he had been opposed to the bill, think
ing the appropriation proposed was
extravagant.
Uncle Sam Wltherspoon isn't a flam
boyant orator. He does not yell and
he never gesticulates. He just stood
with his hands in his pockets and talk
ed, his chin whisker wagging, but the
House was hushed and silent and his
drawling voice could be heard in every
corner of the chamber. When he clos
ed there was a crash of applause that
shook the skylights, while the women
in the gallery used their handkerchief
openly and many a man on the floor
found occasion to cough or look for
something way inside his desk.
WOMAN KILLS FORMER FRIEND-
Flrea Six Shots Into Her Body In
Street Thought to Be Insane.
Lynn, Mass. Mrs. Jessie Chapman,
aged 48, shot and it.stantly killed Mrs.
Flora Ingalls, aged 36, in Lynnfleld
street here.
Mrs. Ingalls was walking toward
her home when Mrs. Chapman ap
proached her and inquired: "Are you
Mrs. Ingalls?" Without waiting for
a reply she took a pistol from her
handbag and fired six shot's, all of
which took effect, causing death In a
few seconds.
Inspectors were put at work on the
case and learned that the women had
quarrelled over a trifling matter sev
eral weeks ago and had not been
friends since.

Elixir of Life for Steel.
For mankind, as yet, the elixir of
life remains undiscovered; but for
steel it. bus been found. The element
vanadium, when added In certain pre
determined and small proportions,
gives to steel the combined properties
of Increased tensile strength, higher
elastic limit and greater ductility.
Strength, toughness, elasticity, united
with freedom from crystallzatlon
these are the life-giving properties
which vanadium Imparts to steel, prop
erties which trIso its endurance to
meet the burdens which are dally in
creasing upon It.

LE1TUCE WHILE YOU WAIT
Dinner Guests May See It Grow on
the Table for Their
Salad.
When at a dinner in Rome a tourist
was served with strawberries, still
growing on the parent vine, in a com
mon earthen pot which was concealed
by a sash of wide ribbon, ihe thought
this was the last word with regard to
serving food at the dinner table. It
remains, however, for a New York
florist to work w hat seems like a mir
acle. He claims to be able to grow
lettuce while you wait crisp lettuce
for dinner to eat with your broiled
spring chicken.
When asked to reveal his secret he
said: "I take a handful of lettuce
seeds that have been soaked over
night in alcohol and I plant them In a
box containing three inches of loam
and quicklime. I water this well, and
In ten minutes the seeds burst. In
twenty minutes two tiny leaves push
through tbe earth. The leaves grow
and multiply. In an hour tbey are as
big as dollars. Then you may pluck
and eat them. They are delicious a
fairy salnd. Sometimes when I give
a dinner party I have one of these lit
tle prepared lettuce beds In the center
of the table. The guests see the let
tuce grow, nnd when tbe time comes
for the salad course there Is their
salad blooming before them all ready
for them to pluck."
Considering what marvels In the
way of cooking are accomplished with
the chafing dish and denatured alcohol
stoves, and scientific marvels like this,
we may reasonably expect to see the
lamb driven in alive, slaughtered, and
cooked before our very eyes.
STREET CLEANING LONG AGO
Franklin's Autobiography Telia How
He Promoted the First Contract
Job in Philadelphia.
Recently at one of the luncheons of
the City Club of Philadelphia there
was read an extract from the auto
biography of Denjamin Franklin
which was said to describe the first
instance of street cleaning by con
tract in Philadelphia. The Incident is
Interesting also, however, as illustrat
ing citizen co-operation in Its original
simplicity.
"One day," Franklin wrote, "I found
a poor Industrious man, who was will,
ing to undertake keeping the pave
ment clean by sweeping It twice a
week, carrying off the dirt from be
fore all the neighbors' doors, for the
sum of six-pence per month, to be
paid by each house. I then wrote and
printed a paper setting forth the ad
vantages to the neighborhood that
might be obtained by this small ex
pense. ... I sent one of these papers
to each house, and In a day or two
went around to see who would sub.
scribe an agreement to pay these six
pences; it was unanimously signed,
and for a time well executed. This
raised a general desire to have all the
streets paved, and made the people
more willing to subscribe to a tax
for that purpose." The Survey,
Those "Iron Dollars,'
"I have always felt that we of the
middle west have about the best of
everything In the United States," a
Missouri man who is In New York
said. "But I am willing to admit now
that we play the part of the 'goaf In
the currency deal.
"You will never know the signifi
cance of the term 'iron dollars' until
you have carried the big wheela
around In your pocltet," he continued.
"And you will doubtless never carry
the cumbersome coin as long as the
good-natured western brother consents
to deal with that part of the currency.
In the two months that I have been In
the east I haven't had my hands on
an 'Iron dollar,' and I'm not homesick
for the sight of one. When I return
I am going to try to carry enough pa
per to last me until I come back
again."
Slipped Up on the Sleuth.
A Cincinnati reporter, acting Inde
pendently of the men working for oth
er papers, resolved to have an ac
count of the, proceedings of a council
meeting to which no outsiders were to
be admitted, lly collusion with the
Janitor he climbed to a spot that was
not without Its dangers and was dusty
beyond description. There he took
out a notebook for a shorthand report.
The meeting came to order and the
first thing the chairman did waB to
move a reconsideration and admit the
reporters. This was carried and they
all (minus one) filed In to tako their
places in comfortable poBltiona.

Did you ever notice the independence and self reliance of the man who
has money in the bank. Not only his em ploy or, but every "big" mao greets
him differently to the way he greets those who have not. Quit those petty
extravagances that are eating up your money. Put it in the bank every
week. Io a short time it will have grown, and you, too, will leel that free
dom and power you have noticed in others.
