OUR BEAUTIFUL; STORES.
The merchants in this city have
never before made as elaborate
preparations for the holiday sea
(■on as they have this year. The
fst >res are literally packed with
suitable goods for holiday pres
ort:, s whether the trend of the
Ko.ircher for such wears is in the
direction of utility or ornament.
In f-ict it may be doubtod if any
of tta stores in much larger cities
are more completely equipped for
the holiday trade than any one of
n dozen in this city and that being
the case it would be worse than
fully for any Danville purchaser
togo elsewhere for presents.
There could lie nothing more
beautiful than the store windows
tit this season of tho year. Win
dow decoration has developed in
to a fine art of the highest stand
ard. In the blending of colors,
the arrangement of exhibits and
i:i all things which deserve atten
tion in the exhibition of art treas
ures the modern window decorat
or is a master. Even if you don't
want to buy an examination of
the winows must be a delight to
nil and a valuable educational
agent, especially to the young.
No parents are just to themselves
and their children if they do not
during this season take the en
tire families to see the stores.
There are various ways of man
ifesting civic pride. Zeal and ef
fort in liehalf of good government
is probably tho most conspicuous
I) it we doubt if it is as effective
in the patronage of home stores
in the purchase of supplies.
Paved streets, public parks and
delightful driveways have their
part in the progress of a city,
but thiy will go a short way if
the meu ha its are behind tho ago.
Enterprise, eneregy and good
taste in tho business life of the
community is the surest passport
to prosperity ami Danville is in
the front rank in those things.
T. R. in annual message said (A
sweet domestic homily) "I think the
man should earn the bread and feed
and clothe the family. The mother,
she should cook and sew Nor join the
rude world's battling—Especially she
shouldn't go Where loom and wheel
are rattling. She should preserve an
aspect grand which babes should learn
to venerate; She shouldn't be a fact
ory hand as I have said, at any
rate." Rut if the father was a shirk,
or drunk, and prone to stray from
them Say, Teddy, wouldu't you have
her work to keep the wolf away from
them? Work? Would it Lighten
her distress if 6he perchance had none
of it? Or does your Excellency guess
She labors for the fun of it ?
The President knocked overa straw
man in his message when he said it
would be a "wicked thing for civiliz
ed powers to completely disarm."
Has anybody proposed complete dis
armament ? And, anyhow, it is the
weak and barbarous notions that have
made war on the powerful nations
during the last ten years?
Upon the desk of the late Senator
Hoar at the opening of Congress was
a bunch of white chrysanthemums
sent from Ohio by grandchildren of
Torn Corwin, who dared the popular
wrath in denouncing our war on
Mexico as Mr. Hoar did in condemn
ing our war on the Philippines.
Revivals Were Successful.
The revival meetings at St. Paul's
M. E. church liavo closed. They had
been lu progress for several weeks un
der the leadership of the pastor, the
ltev. S. B. Evans,and were one of the
most successful held at that church in
many years.
The attendance nightly was large,
not only on the part of the member
ship, bat on tho part of members of
otlior congregations and the publio at
large. While the pastor labored hard
iu bringing about the result which fol
lowed, he bad the earnest suppoit and
assistance of bis people. Pulpit and
pew worked together as a unit, and
reaped a rich harvest iu return for tl.o
efforts put forth. Much enthusiasm
was aroused.
A spiritual awakening ooourred, re
sulting iu a revival that lias not only
leueflted the church in which the
(orir6 of meetings wero held, but the
eutire community. Penitents, liavinp
been convinced by tho strong and
earnest words of the pastor that tiny
should change their manner of living,
flocked to tho altar mid later professed
conversion. During the course of tie
revival,thirty new members were add
ed to the church.

MIXTURE OF LOCAL
AND SPANISH HISTORY
Wm. Vastine Travels 28,392
Miles to and from his
Residence in Danville to
his Farm Below Cameron
in Several Years.
DANVILLE, PA., Dec. 14. 1904.
To the Editor of the INTELLIQEN'CER.
Scholar iu mathematics, did you
ever stop to consider the distance some
people travel every year? For in
stance, Wm. Vastine has driven his
faithful horse every day for the past
seven years to and from his residence
in this city to his beautiful farm in
Point township, Northumberland
county, a distance of 13 miles. Now
multiply by fi working days and the
result is 78 miles iu a week, which
multiplied by 52 weeks, and we find
4,0.06 miles in a year. In seven
years Mr. Vastine has traveled a dis
tance of 28,392 miles, or twice as far
as Capt. ('lark sailed the battle ship
"Oregon" from Callao, Pcrue, doub
ling Capo Horn, and ariving at San
tiago in time to engage iu the de
struction of Admiral Schevera's Span
ish fleet. And again, did you ever
stop to think what the brilliant (?)
Spanish said before Uncle Sam gave
them that fatal knock-out blow ? It
was something like this:"The
Yankees can't fight! They are hogs—
too much engaged in making money!"
Well, they went far short of the mark,
for it took Admiral Schley but a few
moments to knock the boasted, cruel
Spaniards, hors du combat, teaching
them a lesson they will not soon for
get, to keep hands off the gallant tars
on this side the great Atlantic.
The interior of John F. Tooley's
grocery has been re-modeled and new
sliding and tipping boxes and shelves
placed on all sides, making the store
room one of the most up-to-date in
this section of the State. Mr. Tooley
believes that "anything worth doing
is worth doing right," and that
"everything ought to be in its place
and a place for everything." The
store is stocked with the finest goods
suitable for the Christmas season.
The ice bridge between this city
and the Pennsylvania railroad pump
ing station, above Itiverside, is quite
solid enough to bear the weight of a
horse and wagon. Men, women and
children cross and re-cross at all
hours of the day, making the bridge a
convenience even an improvement on
the slow-going ferry boat.
The rabbit hunting season closed
on Thursday last for this section of
the State. Among the Danville folks
most successful was Harry Ritter, the
principal compositor on the Intelli
gencer, who bagged 27 cotton tails,
14 grey squirrels and fi quail. There
were few hunters in Montour county
who had better results.
Chas. Woods is closing out his stock
of shoes, preparatory to retiring from
business, and will rent the store room
on the Ist of January, 1905. This is
one of the finest business places on
Mill street, and can be engaged at a
reasonable price.
Prothonotary Vincent and Com
missoners' Clerk Blue are classed
among the most obliging and atten
tive to business. They may be found
at their several posts of duty at all
times when their services are re
quired.
We are having a repetition of last
winter's extreme cold weather. On
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock the
mercury bubbled at ten degrees below
zero at Kase's store, in South Dan
ville.
Workmen are now engaged in
erecting the third span from the South
Danville end of the river bridge. It
does not appear that the structure
will be ready for traffic before spring.
For the first time the trolly cars
putin an appearance on Mill street,
at the terminus of Mulberry street, on
Thursday morning, to the delight of
everybody in favor of progress.
FOR RENT: —The large room on
Mahoning street near the corner of
Ferry street. Also the Shop on Cannl
street near Kase's laundry.

MR. KPITOH: —We nre having a
tas eof winter just nt present. On
Saturday morning when the peaceful
citizens of this community awoke
mid looked out of their windows, they
saw the •'beautiful" falling in flakes
as line as 1 'ho Lighten thread" which
continued till toward evening, when
the clouds Iroke away, the sun shone
and the winds blew. The temper
afure ln-gaii falling until Sunday
morning, when the thermometer
reached 10° below. Three and one
half inches fell, but for sleighing pur
poses was no good. The dry dust
raised with the sandv snow which will
make excellent mud it we get warm
sunshine. The most important topic
of conversation now, when several of
the neighbors meet at the store, is
how aie your wells holding out. 'the
answer will probably bo that the well
at the barn is dry, but the one at the
house has water yet. It is becoming
a serious matter to tind a supply for
stock and domestic purposes. Sever
al wells iu this neighborhood are en
tirely dry, some that hsvo not been
so for years. A number of farmers
have been hauling water, with tanks
and filled cisterns. Should present
conditions continue there may be
serious consequence!', as all the
streams are very low and continued
cold weather will soon freeze them
solid—then what? Growing grain
suffered from the etTects of the long
drought. It is now covered which
may help it. There may be a ''break
up" during the holidays such as often
occur at that period, which will im
prove matters and relieve the situa
tion.

Dec 13, 1904. BILL.
The New Game "Sherlock Holmes"
Society, always on the lookout for
unique diversion, has seized upon the
new card game. Sherlock Holmes, and
the simple, fun-making game already
claims its hundreds of thousands of de
votees.
The game is simplicity itself, but is
full of excitement, laughter and fun.
The object of the game is to capture
cards representing burglars, robliers and
thieves and to obtain the valuable Slier
lock Holmes card. A large part of the
fun consists in matching the other play
ers' cards, and more particularly in mak
ing "sweep." All players play at once
and there is not a dull moment, l'layers
must not rest bands or arms upon the
table except when a "sweep" is made,
and must play their cards well in from
the edge of the table, to a "sweep" may
be possible.
When a player turns up a "Sherlock
Holmes" card be must call "Sherlock
Holmes." and the excitement becomes
animated, for when he calls be quickly
reaches for the "playing piles" of his op
ponents, which be may take if his hand
reaches the playing pile before it is pro
tected.
Sherlock Holmes is the liveliest of nil
the games which have become p pnlar
fad*. The (tame is laughter and excite
ment from beginning to end. and while
light in its nature, is becoming as much
of a rage as l'ing-Pong two years ago.
Quail to Be Destrlbuted.
Yesterday the committee, appointed
by the Danville Rifle and Unn Club
to oollect funds (or the purchase of
quail fer distribution WAS busy solicit
ing aid amcng the sportsmen in this

Enough money was subsorihed to

ten dozen of the birds. This, together
with the twelvo dozen qnatl that the
Club decided to liny,will make twenty
two dnzen'to distribute. Not all of
the sportsmen have been Been, how
ever, so in all probability the number
»»ill exceed the twenty-two dozen now
pledged.

New Plan Adopted to Pass a Counter
feit Note.
Johnstown, Dec. 12.—A stranger told
John Westover, who conducts a hotel at
Gannen's Mills, Cambria County, that
he had been without food and money
for two days. He was taken into the
dining-room and told to eat all the din
ner he wanted.
When he finished the meal the stran
ger drew his handkerchief from his
pocket ami a S2O note fell to the floor.
The waitress pi weed it up and gave it to
Westover, who was angered by the at
tempt to fleece him. Westover deducted
75 cents for the meal and handed over
$10.25. which the man took and de
parted.
Not long afterward Westover found the

New Idea Woman's Magazine for
January.
There are a great many good nuggest
ions on what to wear in the New Idea
Woman's Magazine for January. For
women, an article on "Negligees" shows
three graceful stvle6 in wrappers and
dressing-sacks, while for men the subject
of 4 Evening Dress" is thoroughly dis
cussed. Two English cuts show a blouse
and a fur sack such as are being worn
across the water, and a bulletin from
Paris describes a number of Parish n
"creations " In the literary part of the
magazine, Mrs. Constance duller Mdu
ty re discusses "The Bachelor Maid" in
her vivacious way, while any woman
who has ever entered a business office in
the capacity of an employee will feel a
responsive echo in reading Esperance
Good love'B "The Etiquette of the Busi
ness Woman." ' The Steerage" describes
a unique private antique shop in a
weather-beaten barn, and Dr. Arthur W.
Yale contributes a chat on"The Trained
Nurse in Fact and Fiction." "A Ques
tion of Heirlooms" throws a new light
on the subject of antique furniture.
"Perdita" tells of adapting her versatile
housekeeping to cond tions in Paris, and
there are three stories for grown-ups and
three for little people.
Price of Turkeys.
The near approach of Oliri9tmis has
brought turkeys into prominence again
and there is a great deal of cariosity
to ku->w jast what price they will
command.
It is said that many turkeys are bo
lng shipped to thi9 state from the West
aud that they will be sold to dealers
for ID cents per pound. Retailed in
market the prioe will be a trifle above
that figure,bnt it is not thought prob
able that turkeys Christmas will be
as high in price as on Thanksgiving.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
