PRIDE DESTRUCTIVE JURJDE ban been the cause of dc <|P struction to many a poor, de luded mortal, and today this same curse is a stronger and slill growing force. Deep down in the vortex of sin plunge the victims on all sides, never to ho able to arise to their form er level. Jealousy breeds the vanity that corrupts the soul and brings the dis grace. If we were created with broader mind and soul, or rather taught to cultivate these blessings, wo would not know selfishness. Ofttimes when man Incomes the subject of envy and jealousy, it starts a pride that develops into so great a vanity as to cause the same destruc tive results as those entertained by his jealous brother. The Intelligencer does not possess jealousy and is not antagonistic. Of course, it has no reason to bo jealous of any other paper in the county; and while it continues to grow more and more popular, as THE I'AI'ER, we find we would have no time to be come vain if we even cared to do so. So much for being busy. Again, we are not selfish ; our spirit delights in others' prosperity as well as our own, and any person possessing a like spirit could not IK> antagonistic. Just the other day we were told that a certain "jealous, sore, antago nistic " paper made itself " so' child ish" as to declare that we goto Georgetown to get brains. llow ri diculous ! llow absurd ! How child like ! You can see it all at a glance. It requires no thought. It's not in it. IT'S ALL JEALOUSY. The Front Porch. The couutry is being edited nowa days from the front porch. For some seven or eight months ot the year tho front porch,is of use only to get iu on. But daring the good old summer time it jnstitios its proper purposes. Tho front porch now cea&os to tie the more threshold of the home. Jt be comes sitting room, nnrsery, library. It is the hearthstone trausferre I to the open. Here the family sits and solaces it self. Inolfensive gossip floats about. And wisdom also. Hole is the forum. Grave problems are sorted and settled. And laughter has its place. Iu America, the front porch arises to the dignity of an institution. Al though it is not one of the thiugs tor which tho fathers (ought it is parcel of lis. And it is as pi,tout in its day us was tho town meeting iu its days. Besides— Tho American front porch provides that wliiuli Americans need lis much as anything—relaxation. The strenu ous life has no place on the trout poroh. Let the heathen rago and the wiuked imagine a vain thiug. As for us— Let us go out on the front porch. Borough Should Decorate. The sutfßotitions marie iu these col umns that the Borough should take some part iu the decorations required for the Fourth of July seems to coi'i cirlo with the view of all about towu who have beeu heard to express them oil tho subject. With no excep tion they seem to .full iu with the idea of an electrical display, while uot a few think the Borough would ouly te doing its duty by employing in aditi< n tho Stais and Stripes iu the fjrtu of flags and bunting. Evidently if Council desires the people it will not stand aloof while every other body is hustling and oudoavoriiig to do something for the day, that will reflect upon the Bor ough a proper desree of public spirit aud patriotism. Very little time re mains and the matter should be taken up immediately by tno Councilmen. Dr. Eveland's Stand. As yot Dr. W. P. Eveland, pustor of tho Methodist church, Rloomsburg. who has been tendered tho presidency of the Dicfeiusou Seminary, at Will iamsport, has mudn no decision as to wJifcther oi not he will accept tie pluce.

The local team was first at the bat, si" ! : i t ie lir.-i inning succeeded iu earning a nice, clean run. The visitors were goose egged three times in succession, then iu the fourth inning they scored a run; and again in the eighth inning the Giants added two more runs, which gave them the victory. Again tlie audience, which was large and in telligent, saw the contest quite differ ent from Mr. Jones, the getlemnnly umpire, thus changing the score, which " might have been"in favor of our boys.. The contest throughout was most respectful, not a profane nor vulgar expression came from the lips of either club or good natured folks in attendance. The public is indebt ed to Manager McCoy, of the home team, and John M. Bright, of the Giants, for this happy aud satisfactory result. TUESDAY'S GAME. On Tuesday afternoon the weather was not quite so warm, but the home team made it warmer for the Giants, for they fumed and fretted, and kick ed at every trivial opportunity, es pecially ludicrous was the scene when the short-stop of the visitors objected to the umpire's decision iu calling the runner out at the plate ; everybody in the grand stauil, just behind the catcher, saw at a glance when he touched the Cuban; then why should a player twice the distance away dis cuss a question which is so absurd. May be it was because the re sult of the contest seemed altogether different from that of Monday after noon, for the score was reversed— three to one in favor of the Danville team. In the fifth inning the local team made four clean base hits and scored two earned runs, which in it self was quite enough to will the game. In the absence of Foxy Grandpa Watkiu, the joker for the Giants, the centre fielder endeavored to iill bis place with poetic recitations, but his effort was a failure. The time of game was 1 hour and 25 minutes. Mr. Juhn Jones was the honest, im partial umpire, and gave entire satis faction. 0( TARIOXAL. GLANT'S COMF.DY CO.

" -Ss**'— ~ ' THE CROSBY FRISIAN FUR COMPANY, 116 Mill Street, Rochester, N. Y, Qe Q A SON WEALTH By KEITH GORDON Con right, 1904, b, T. C. MtClurt O .-J At lirst it was mo rely the junior of :i rumor, theu It becuiuo an uutlienticut *tl report, and last the town, or at least that part of It which considered itself Indubitably "upper crust," thrilled with the knowledge that Hemingway Trent was to spend a month with his aunt, Mrs. Ordway. Set down in black and white, this fact appears Insignificant, but Just think a moment and repeat the name over and over to yourself—"Trent, Trent"—and you will doubtless begin to thrill, for the name of Trent Is known wherever pickles are eaten or money spent. It is only fair to the present Treats to explain that it is a far cry from the original pickle, or. rather, from the little patch of ground on the edge of a young city where that lirst pickle, that Alad din's lamp of a pickle, grew to the present representatives of the family. Hemingway, the future head of the Trent family, aged twenty-six, was coining to Carriston for a visit. A blaze of interest sprang up iu anxious mother hearts at first rumor of this fact, and, though they guarded eye and lip, some sparks flew and little ad ditional fires sprang up In the hearts of marriageable daughters. Finally the air became surcharged. Adamantine father hearts gave signs of emotion, a restlessness, a critical, lingering sur vey of daughterly eluirms. /Several rush ordtrs for gowns of mere than ordinary beauty were sent scurrying across the continent. And It was Rig nificant that this finery to come was never mentioned, not even between the best of friends. Amid all the intense, subdued Hur ry of preparation there was one family that remained serene. Mr. and Mrs. Barry of Barry dene went their elegant, languid way, undlstracted snd unmov ed, though they, too, had a marriagea ble daughter. The way of the Harrys had long since ceased to be affluent. If the Hemingways, for whom Trent was named, had left . ramshackle shanty far behind them the Harrys, on the oth er hand, had come from a rare old co lonial mansion that overlooked the riv er Severn. The only difference be tween them was that they had started at different ends of the chain. Still, Breuda Barry, only child and chief depository of the practical sense of the house of that name, was usually filled with a tingling resentment when she heard of the enormous fortunes of the "new" people. Being a woman, she eould not fail to feel the subtle tense ness In the social atmosphere, and for the same reason she Instinctively divin ed its cause. And to say that she was scornful but faintly expresses It. There was nothing about the good looking, athletic young fellow whom she met a week later to Justify that scorn. lie was the usual thing—a very much washed, Immaculately dressed . young man of the day, with a desire to please which was so apparent that Brenda had to goad herself into remem bering how frightfully new and dis gustingly rich he was. This attitude on the part of one whose head might well have been turned by the flattery and attention he was re ceiving on all sides mollified her some what. Then by chance she happened to encounter a rather vindictive glanee from Helen ('arrlugton's violet eyes— llelen was wearing an exquisitely "sim ple gown that had not seen the light before—and suddenly her own plan of action was clearly mapped out in her mind. "Too much soothing sirup," she re flected Ironically. "What he needs Is a tonic." This mental comment of hers may have had something to do with the delightful sense of refresh ment young Trent felt In her presence. I She asked him none of the usual ques tions with which the others had pes tered him until !»e wondered impa tiently If they had nothing to think about but him. Indeed, she didn't seem to be very clear as to his Identity, so that he felt compelled to refer rather diffidently \> the fact that he was on to visit his aunt, Mrs. Ordway. Kvon then her face was Impassive. "Itatlior a stunning girl, that Miss Barry," lie remarked to his aunt the next day on their drive as she pointed Barry dene t;> him, while he noted with Interest Its picturesque decay. The stucco house was a beautiful soft gray, and what had once been a gar den after the Italian manner was uow overgrown and neglected, yet full of wistful beauty. Near a corner of the house he caught the gleam of a light gown and energetically tried by means of hypnotic suggestion to causo his aunt to stop, but she sat placidly be side him, utterly unaware that the cas tle of her mind was being assaulted. Trent reasoned that if you pass a person's house often enough you are pretty sure to meet that person. On the third successive morning that he passed Barrydcne came through the gate in the neglected hedge Just as his horse Jogged slowly by. She wore a short pink gown, with Bleeves turned back and collar turned In, and In her hand she carried what appeared to bo a wet liapkiu. .She greeted him with a negligent nod; put ting him still further at ease by her Inquiry. "Have you—l don't suppose you have—but have you seen a small dog that looked as If ho were sneaking away from home?" Trent was off his horse in a moment, while lie assured her that, though he had encountered no such animal, he was sure that he could find It should she command. She put away his offer. "Oh, he'll come back! Only ho knows it's wrong—and I like u> be obeyed." "I'd obey Inn Jiffy—lf you'd tell me to come in," Trent ventured boldly. Miss Barry was all demureness for a moment; then a wicked gleam danced Into her eyes. . "Come—pray do," she Invited sweet ly. And a moment later he had tied his tiorse and was walking "liesUle her up the graveled path where the grasfl grew unrebuked. Everywhere there was disorder, but it was of the pic torial sort that has an attraction all Its owu. To Hemingway Trent, accus tomed to grounds that were bathed und shaved almost as regularly as their masters, it was oddly charming. Ills companion, however, noticing his mus ing, lingering gaze, construed in a dif ferent way. "Titles us, I suppose, because we haven't a head gardener and two or | three assistants." she thought to her self resentfully. Thereupon she de cided to shock his sensibilities still more. "It's rather Informal, I know," she said glibly, "but I'm going right on with my work." And she led the way i around to the rear of the house. "Yon see. I've Just been doing a few of the small fine pieces myself; the China man brings them back streaked in so many shades of pink and blue." She looked at him furtively, but It was evident he was thoroughly mysti fied. She was obliged to be more ex plicit "Washing, you know," she elaborat ed, pointing to an Indian basket hoap ' e«l with linen that stood on the grass. "Now Just make yourself comfortable and talk to me while I work. ' And she proceeded rather ostentatiously to spread out some dainty handkerchiefs and napkins on the adjoining rose bushes, while her caller looked on iu shocked, speechless amazement. "Oh, I say! You oughtn't to do this, you know. It's ridiculous; it's an out rage. < Jet a Chinaman who'll do the right thing. There must be one some where." Miss Barry became sweetly pensive. Reslgnment spoke from every line of her face. "There are some," she admitted, "but they charge, oh, fearfiully!" Then, with hands locked behind her, she stood back and regarded the bushes where all the sweet rose faces were now hid den from the sun with a virtuous en thusiasm. "That saves papa as much as a dollar," she said proudly, "and every little helps." Trent murmured something, he did not precisely know what, so busy he was trying to think what It must be like, the financial condition that made the saving of a dollar so great a thing. Brenda covertly watched him with fiendish delight, which was, it is tf*ue, modified when she discovered that Ills surprise was changing Into a sort of awed admiration. Stlil she managed to convey to him before he took his dazed departure that she usually spent the early morning hours gardening, working in uno the*' pathetic reference their need of econ omy. Promptly the next morning Trent, clad In the most disreputable clothes he could procure, might have been seen hanging about the Barrydene hedges. When the daughter of the house finally made her appearance It was not so early, though, as he had been led to believe. He walked in bold ly, announcing with the simplicity of the early Trents—the market garden ones—that he'd come to help. Miss Barry's face turned a riotous red, and she trted to dissuade him, but for an hour or more he digged and delved at her side right sturdily. Once begun, there was no stopping him, and Carris ton watched the disgraceful affair aghast. When later on the gardening led to the usual result Brenda looked him straight In the eye. "1 fancy that 1 have angled for you just as much as the others," she said breathlessly. But Hemingway Trent ouly laughed. "What difference so long as I like your bait?" he questioned. (■rent Men Who Were I.lttle. Canon lvingsley not long before his death drew atteutiou t > the number of short men who could be seen In a Lon don crowd, lie looked upon it as a sign of the deterioration of the race. But there are those who look at it as an indication of progress In intellectual lines at least, for many If not most of the great men of history have been men below the medium height. Canute the (Jreat was a singularly small man. Na poleon was undeniably short. Nelson had no height of which he could boast, and the great Conde was hardly more than five feet tall. Hildebrand—Greg ory Vll.—the greatest of all the popes, was quite a diminutive person. Mon taigne was short; so was I*ope, "a little crooked thing that asked questions;" so was Dryden, and so was Scarron, who alluded to himself as "an abridg ment of human miseries" on account of his 6hort stature and 111 health.

So aggressive is tlie plnknt, a little fish from Slam, that the entertainment It affords has became a national pas time. The fishes are trained to through regular battles and are reared artificially for the purpose, while the license to exhibit them to the general public Is farmed out and brings a large amount of money into the royal coffers. They are kept in aquariums built for the purpose and fed upon the larvae of mosquitoes and every possible care taken of them. When the fish is In a quiet state, with the tins at rest, tho dull colors are not at all remarkable. But if two are brought together or within sight of each other, or even if one sees its own image in a looking glass, the little creature becomes sud denly excited.
