O. Loight.on, the author of the report, SIIOAS by a series of chemical analysis that the water is actually more free from or ganic matter at the lower end of Wy oming Valley than at tho upper, and this condition is traceable to a large amouut of acid mine refuse which is turned into tho stream. He finds also that the I reoipitation of immense quantities of sewage matter and coal dust into tho river eventually will fill up the chauutl along certain reaches. It is probable that the Susqueliaui.a, especially that portion below the Wes' Branch, is chiefly valuable as an agent of sewago disposal.

Mr. WHITNKY INN written ASKING for a hearing in a matter of vital importance in which the Prcsi dent had condemned him The: President in intemperate language refused the request and practically declared Mr. WHITNKY GUILTY of less majestic. The German Emperor or the Czar of Russia couldn't have as set tod the accusation more clearly and it may be assumed that neither of them would have been ns-inino en ough to utter it at all under the cir cumstance-1.

Mr. WHITNKY did nothing unbecoming either in quoting the President or a-king for an opportunity to prove the accuracy of his state ment.

But instead oT such a course the President in a petulant letter which would have been unworthy an intelligent and well-bred school boy refused Mr. \\ IIITNKY can well nlTord to let the matter drop at. its present stage.

I After Fifteen Yeaurs By VIRGINIA LEILA WENTZ Copy right, 1905, by I. D. Marshall For almost a twelvemonth now Mr. | Faweett had bought his daily morning paper of a certain little newsgirl be- | heath tho steps of his L station. "Little ( Timber Toes" was the nickname tho : boys bad given her. She was a cripple I and carried a crutcli. "I've missed you, sir. Indeed, you ; stayed away so long I began to think you weren't coining back at all." "Lit tle Timber Toes" laughed at her own : falsehood, showing all her line, infan- ] iile teeth at once. Mr. Faweett hail j spent Sunday with some of his New Jersey relatives, and this was the greet- ' ing he received from under the L stairs on Tuesday morning. "So you missed me, did you?" It was good to bo missed, and it warmed the cockles of this old bachelor's dry heart. "Well, I had a nice time iu the country, little one," said he. "Ah," said the child, leaning slightly forward on her crutch, "it must be like fairyland in the country. Mother used i to li\x» in the country, and she's told me all about it. And did you go iu the j woods—the deep woods? They must j smell so fresh and cool and delicious. And then the shade!" She had a long vista of thoughts in her eyes—an entire I forest. She was to all appearances a , pretty child of twelve, with delicate features and a mass of brown hair. 1 Just now some rays of sunlight slant- I ing upon her head from the platform ' above made it sparkle like gold. "Do you know," she went on, seeing , that her customer was in no especial hurry to catch his train, "I often pic- ) ture the woods to myself—trees grow ing up by themselves without being planted, squirrels running over the boughs, birds singing iu the branches. Oh, it must be wonderful!" "llow would you like togo with me some Sunday to see the woods?" asked the man. "They are all around the city here, to be seen for the mere riding to thein in the cars." | "Oh, I should love it!" The big dark eyes looked disproportionately large in the pale, tiny face. "Aud I think mother will be sure to let me," added she gravely. "You see, I've told her about you so many times." Somehow the whole of July slipped by and "Little Timber Toes" did not get to see her dear woods nor the squirrels nor the birds. To be sure, there was no immediate hurry about it. There was always the facile ex cuse, "Next week, perhaps—or week after next." However, there came a moruiug when as Mr. Faweett stopped to hand j over his coin and take back a paper he found "Little Timber Toes'" place was vacant. Evidently she was late today. On his way home he would stop again. The place was still unoccupied in the evening; also the following morning. A policeman on the corner, being consulted, thought the child might be ill and gave Mr. Faweett the address where, she was supposed to live. "Of course she's ill," mused the man as lie set out to find her late thai aft ernoon. "Iler little face has been un commonly white of late and her eyes uncommonly big." On his way up the narrow stairs in the miserable tenement in which the child lived a buxom woman passed him. It: turned out to bo the janltress. "Yes, she's up there all alono, poor little kid. I've just been a-takin' her some gruel, lloly saints, but it's hot up in that attic!" She mopped her brow in confirmation of the statement. The door of the little attic room was open, but to the man standing there quietly in the hallway it all seemed quite dark. The shutters were bowed tight, but the August sun threw tiny shafts of light through the slats. As his eyes became used to the half light he saw "Little Timber Toes" sitting close against the wall, where she had been driven by the advancing heat from the window. For ooolness she had piled her hair on top of her head. It gave a certain air of distinction. Iler exquisite, small face, her shapely Utile head resting against the dingy wall here in this poverty reduced room, had the antique perfection and grace of an old cameo in a defaced and scratched setting. He waited for her to move, to look up. He imagined she would hear him breathe, the room was so still, but he had to knock twice before she seemed able to disconnect herself from her list less reverie. Then— "Oh, oli! I—l was wishing you might come!" She reached out her hand for his and held it tight. "Do you know," stroking the hand she clasped with her free one as if to make sure her words would not hurt him, "I kind of thought you'd come, even if you did forget your promise about the dear woods." She smiled, one of her gay, volatile, capricious smiles. And by that he saw that she was better. II is conscience smote lilni somewhat. He changed tho subject abruptly. "How's mother?" he asked. "Pretty well, thanks. She's in the tailor trade now." "The tailor trade, is she? Then shirts d'dn't pay?" "Not so well as troupers. It's the buttonholes, you see." The child was profound In her practical wisdom. Fifteen minutes later, as Mr. Faw eett was opening the shutters to let In the evening air, a slightly built woman came slowly up the attic stairs. She was very tired, bufr for the sake of the child she bravely summoned a gay smile, putting.her face on dress pa rade, as it were. For a second, seeing that there was a stranger In the room, she stood uncertainly in the doorway; then she went toward him. "l think, sir," she said, with a certain quiet dignity—"l think you must lie the gentleman who's been so kind to"— ' Kitty!" cried the man, taking an un conscious step toward her. Then they stood and stared into each other's won dering eyes. She, worn with work and worry, was the first to lose control. She dropped Into a chair presently and began to cry softly. He, for his part, paced the room In dazed fashion. He recalled "Little Timber Toes* " innocent disclo sures. Father was dead. She thought she was glad. He wasn't fond of chil dren, and he sometimes used to strike dear mother. Why, he had figuratively shrugged careless shoulders at the commonplace skeleton laid bare by the child. But now? He turned hot eyes and looked at the pretty, fragile, sobbing creature —Kitty, his Kitty, as he had been used to coll her, the beautiful, dainty girl who had Hushed undo? his first kiss! Something in his throat swelled big. He stood still before the attic window, iloii g battle with it, In the place of i chimneys and lightning rods, tiles and ' slates, came green fields and woods, ' There was a little vine covered cottage, too, and out of the cottage came a girl as fresh and sweet its the morning. A youth leaned over the gate saying good by, for he was going off to win fortune for them both. Then he departed, with her moist kiss upon his lips, while the golden morning shone hopefully on the woods and meadows. And, oh, the long misery of that subsequent misun derstanding! Later news had reached him that she was married to an old ri i val; after that, no news at all. I James Faweett went near to tho weeping little woman and laid his , hand upon her arm. "Kitty," he said | again, "it's years since we saw each j other." I "Fifteen," said she struggling to b3 I calm and smiling through her tears, j "That's a long time, James, and time ; brings many changes." "Does it? I don't see them, dear. To me you're just the same." ' At his words the woman flushed—as ! pretty a wild rose flush as any maiden ! might claim. He drew up a chair for ' himself and placed it hear her. Then 1 he set about bringing up old tales that I made her cheerful and gave the dim ples play. What a dance those same dimples used to lead the boys, Billy and Ben and the rest—did she remem ber? And did she recall the wooden schoolhouse? There was a brand new brick one now. The old farmhouse was down, too, and on its site was a | gorgeous brick villa. Thus, though all the while hunger was gnawing'at his heart, he talked i cheerily on and on. Presently he j arose. He eould bear it no longer. I She was such a sorrow laden, pale, | fragile, dear little thing to fight all ' alone against the world. He opened I his arms wide. • "Will you come now, Kitty? It's not | too late." / I When she laid her hands on his broad ; shoulders ami said tremulously, "I'm so tired, dear—so tired!" he put his strong arms about her and fondled her I caressingly, just as he might have i fondled the child by the wall or any other helpless thing. "Little Timber Toes" all the while looked on and smil ed. "And when we goto the woods," she asked presently, "we'll take dear moth er along too?" "Well, rather!" answered the man in a queer, hoarse tone as he drew the [ woman in his arms still closer. Fidelity IIIKI Affection of a Home. In the "Memoirs of General Count de Scgtir," an aid-decamp of Napo leon, the following affecting incident is related: "During the nocturnal attack of the Ultra, on Dee. 23, I was unhorsed. My animal had been wounded by a bullet Iu his chest, from which the blood was streaming, and as he could no longer carry me I had been forced to leave him, loading his equipment on my shoulders. When I had reached our first outpost, about 300 paces off, I sat | down to rest before the fire, in some grief at the loss of my mount, when a plaintive sound and an unexpected contact caused me to turn my head. It was the poor beast, which liad re vived and had dragged itself in the wake of my footsteps. In spite of the distance mid the darkness, it had suc ceeded iu finding me aud, recognizing me by the light of the campfire, had come up groaning to lay its head on my shoulder. My eyes filled with tears at this last proof of nttqphmcnt, and I was geutly stroking it when, ex ; hausted from the blood it had lost and its efforts to follow me. In the midst of the men, who were as surprised and touched as myself, It fell down, struggled for a moment and expired." An Arctic Doff. It Is said of Dr. John Brown, the gen ial and much'loved author of "Rab and His Friends," that he was personally acquainted with every dog iu Edin burgh. Once while out driving he stop ped in tlie middle of a sentence aud looked out eagerly at the back of tho carriage. "Is it some one you know?' asked the friend who was with him. "No," lie replied. "It's a dog 1 don't know." An old resident of Edinburgh tells tills story: A dog had recently been brought to the city from Iceland and for a long time apparently suffered from all the pangs of homesickness. Dr. Brown became much interested 111 the animal and tried frequently to comfort it. At last one day he came to the house of his friend, Dr. Peddle, with a smiling face and said: "That dog Is all right now. He went out last nlglit and saw the pole star, and that has made him feel quite at aome here." A Story of Waalilnfftou.

Finally the man went down to the liver aud declared his intention of shipping to the old country, when who should come up and lean over the side of a newly ar rived vessel but his wife.

TUB CROSBY FRISIAN FUR COMPANY, 116 Mill Street, Rochester, N. V. C =Q Miranda's Whims By A. M. DAVIES OGDEN Copyright, 1906, by A. M. D. Ogden ffiC ■ It was afternoon on one of the last few hot days of summer. Through tlio ; open windows came glimpses of green wood bespeaking a delicious coolness and the ripple of brooks, but In the 1 schoolroom the air was undeniably close. The scratch of a pencil, the shuffling of Impatient little feet, the drone of a lazy bee, all seemed to in tensify tho impression of heat, and the young schoolmaster stirred restlessly. It had meant a great deal to Peter Ittiymond, securing the village school at Wimberly, but he had not found his task an easy one. His eyes, wandering over the rows of bent heads before liim, encountered the glance of a girl seated near the door. The girl, one of the old ei scholars, with a toss of her curls, returned to her book, and the trouble In the schoolmaster's face deepened. Here was the crux of the situation. If he could win Miranda Hemming to his side the remainder of the pupils would follow easily enough. But it was Mi randa herself, with her great blue eyes, fetching dimples and coquettish ways, who openly led the revolt against him. The teacher sighed again. Perhaps ho was too young. From the very beginning of his work, however, Raymond had recognized the primitive instinct of hostility to the un known in the questioning eyes uplifted to his own. Now, after five weeks, he scorned no nearer the solution of his problem; indeed, matters under Miran da's spirited guidance were becoming even worse, despite his pointed iguoi lng of her mutiny. He touched the bell. "First class in grammar," he said. Miranda, with several other girls, rang ing from sixteen to eighteen, came slowly forward. It WHS rather a try ing recitation. Most of the girls stum bled. Miranda failed utterly, nor did she care. To all his questions she an swered with provoking nonchalance, evidently Indifferent as to whether he were pleased or not. Her rebellion had never before been quite so openly man ifest. A sudden line of resolution tightened the young man's mouth. "You may return to seats," ho said. "Miss Miranda, I shall expect you to remain after school until that le son is recited perfectly." "What!" cried the girl. Involunta rily she fell back a step, hardly believ ing her own ears. That any one should dare address her, Miranda Hemming, in such fashion! Raymond's expression d;d not change. "You heard what I said;" he returned quietly. "It should not take long." For a moment Miranda, stupefied, hesitated, then she flounced indignant ly back to her seat. The whole school, which had dropped all work to listen to the passage at arms between Mi randa and the teacher, fairly shivered, and Tom Carruthers, a big, loutish chap of nineteen, shot a sullen look at ltaymond. To scold Miranda! To tho quivering excitement of the school, the time until 4 o'clock appeared fairly, to fly. Would teacher really keep in Mi randa? When the others arose, Miranda also sprang to her feet. Then something In the teacher's expression caused her to sink back in her seat, tingling and abashed. It took an unusually long time for the pupils to disperse that day, but at last they were all gone. "You need not think I shall study that lesson," she aeclared with sharp emphasis. Raymond nodded. "As you please," he answered. "Only here we both stay until you do." "And I'm not to have any supper?" incredulously. "Not until you learn that lesson." "But"— burst out Miranda furious ly. Then she closed her lips with a snap and leaned back, her hands teuv pestuoußly folded before her. Ray mond picked up a book. "Take your own time," he said pleas antly. But somehow the book did not provo very enthralling. Between his eros nisi the printed pages persisted the vision of a willful little face set in Its tangle of wavy hair. Yet he must not be beaten now. Ills who'.e future hung on this is ue, he thought. The shad ows lengthened, the sun dropped be hind the hill i. Miranda, who for saino time had been stealing i'urt!ve glances at tho quiet figure behind the big desk smiled prettily. "I'm-I'm hungry," tihe wheedled. For an inataut Raymond wavered. This new sweetness was strange and alluring. But before ho could speak the door was flung open and Tom Car ruthers appeared on the threshold. "Beu't ye comln' to supper, MirandyV" he demanded. Ycr ma sent | me fer ye," darting a suspicious took at her Jal!e.\ "Ala't ye comln'? I'll look out fer ye." "Why," began Miranda feebly. Ray mond, a suddeu, unaccountable resent ment surging into his heart, frowned. "Miss Miranda Is In no need of a ! champion," he declared stiffly. "She can leave when she chooses. You ma> go." And Tom, after an Instant's scowling hesitation, went out, banging the door. Miranda bit her lip. "I will never learn that lesson," she repeated stubbornly. Thero was another long silence while the shadow i darkened. At last the young man roite and lit the lamp. "It Is nearly 9 o'clock," he said brief ly. Miranda, now close upon tears, looked back still defiant. ( "And If 1 say It you'll let me go?" | "Certainly." 1 With rapid, choked utterances she flr.ng the text at him, not pausing for question or comment. And ♦hen— "l—l hate you," she cried vehement ly; "hate you, hate you! And I'll nev er, never come Into th's horrid school- j room again!" The bright drops slioue In her ejres like dew on forfeetmenots, I her cheeks were flushed to a wild rose pink; the girl was shaken, puzzled, hurt. The .village boys she had teased w»d_ruiesi at JEIU.

From the day that he, a stranger, had met her eyes In calm unconcern she had uncon sciously resented the fact. Now the re pressed wrath of weeks found vent "I hate you," she reiterated stormlly. Tho next moment she bad flashed through the door and was gone. Ray mond, oddly depressed In spite of his victory, followed slowly. The world was flooded with the tran quil glory of the moonlight as he went ouV. A narrow path led to tho rond wfeere a row of maples lifted their leafy branches to the starry skies, and Raymond, fancying that he caught the gleam of a white dress there under the trees, felt his heartbeats quicken. Somehow he had been looking forward to walking home with the girl. Then as he turned from locking the door a uark figure rushed by the corner of the schoolhouse, there was a woman's shrill Bcream, something heavy struck his forehead, and Raymond fell. It must have been nearly an hour later when Raymond and Miranda stopped at the gate of the girl's home. Hearing footsteps, Mrs. Hemming came out to meet them. "Well," she said. "So I hear you've been having trouble with Mlrandy. Tom was here in quite u state and wanted me to Interfere. But I judged you knew how to run your own game," comfortably. "I)Id ye meet him?" Ray mond, feeling the bump left by the stone on his forehead, laughed. "Yes, we met him," he said whim sically. "And he left us lu no doubt as to his opinion of me. Indeed, I might say that he left a decided Impression. If it had not been that Miranda, BUS pectlng there might be trouble, wait ed— But, after all, I do not know that I blame him much," he went on. "lie could not appreciate that I was acting in Miranda's best interests," with mis chievous emphasis. Miranda, very shy and conscious, flushed. Mrs. Hemming lifted her hands. "What ever am I going to do with that girl?" she ejaculated. "Really, growing fairly unmanageable. If she only had a father I" The young man became suddenly quite grave. "Will you Intrust the task to me, Mrs. Hemming?" he asked. "I think I understand her better now." "Trust you," cried Mrs. Hemming. I "Why, ye're nothing but a boy your I self. How could you be a father to I her?" regarding him In perplexed as tonishment. Raymond bent and pos sessed himself of the girl's slender hand. "No, I suspect that I couldn't be a father to her," he agreed, "but she has Just promised to marry me." Mexxofantl'a Memory. Cardinal Mezzo fa ntl had a memory little short of miraculous. Dr. Russell, his biographer, says that t!|I: cardinal spoke with the greatest ease thirty lan guages, that he spoke fairly well nine, that he used occasionally, but not with fluency, eleven more; that he spoke Im perfectly eight and that he could read eleven more. Taking, in addition, the number of dialects he used, some so dl verso frcin the mother tongue as to constltutO a different language. Dr. Hussell aays that the cardinal was master of no less than 111 different languages and dialects. His (Jerman was so excellent that he was taken for a native of Germany, while his French and English were equally pure. Dr. Tholuek heard him converse In Ger man, Arabic, Spanish, Flemish, Eng llfth, Latin, Greek, Swedish and Por tuguese at one of the pope's receptions, ar/1 afterward Mezzofantl gave him an original poem In Persian and left him to take a lessou In Cornish. He kuew several of the American Indian lan guages and nearly all the dialects of India. Washington never made a speech. In the zenith of his fame he once at tempted it, failed and gave It up, con fused and abashed. In framing the constitution of the United States tho labor was almost wholly performed In committee of the whole, of which George Washington was day after day chairman, and he made but speech es during the convention, of a very few words each. The convention, lioww ever, acknowledged the master spirit, and historians atflrni that had it not been for his personal popularity and the thirty words of his speech, pro nouncing it the best that could be unit ed upon, the constitution would have been rejected by the people. Thomas Jefferson never made a speech. lie couldn't do it. Napoleon, whose executive ability is I almost without a parallel, said that | his difficulty was in finding men of deeds rather than words. When asked how he maintained his influence over his superiors in age and experience when commander in chief of an army in Italy he said, "By reserve."

The teeth, as well as the stomach, are made for labor, rfnd neither can have their proper work to do if only paps and broths and puddings and hashes and other soft and artificially prepared foods are crowded Into the stomach as though tho cook In the kitchen could masticate and digest the food better than the natural grinders and the chemical action and assimilat ing power of the stomach. Those people who shovel great vulgar moutlifuls of food into their mouths and bolt It down as though they had but ten minutes for a meal are gor mandizers instead of polite people. They know little of the pleasure of deliberate eating or the luxury of sat isfying hunger, and certainly they are laying the foundation of disease. Dry, hard food, vigorously chewed, stimulates the flow of saliva, strength ens the teeth and keeps them healthy and invigorates the digestion. A Humble Archblnhup. Willegis, a famous archbishop of Mentz, rose to that elevated position from the very lowest ranks. lie was the son of a poor carter, but was never ashamed of his parentage. lie not only caused the following inscription to be placed conspicuously in his palace, "Willegis, remember thy parentage," but had the wheels of a cart hung up in the Cathedral of Mentz. From that time to this the arms of the see have borne the figure of a cart wheel. The Word "Covey." Long custom has practically limited the word "covey" to association with the partridge, although it has always been used with grouse and ptarmigan. Beaumont and Fletcher, however, spoke of "covey of tiddlers" and Thack eray of a "covey of trumps." Tho word means properly a brood, hatching, com ing through the French "couver," to sit (of a hen bird), from the Latin "cu bare," to recline, whence "Incubate" also sprung. Joy. Joy is a prize unbought and Is freest, purest In its flow when It comes un sought. Xo getting Into heaven, as a place, will compass It. You must car ry it with you, else It Is not there. You must have It In you, ns the music of a well ordered soul, the fire of a holy purpose, the welling up out of the central depths of eternal springs that hide the waters there.—Horace Bush nell.

"Kind lady," remarked the weary wayfarer, "can you oblige me with ■ something to eat?" "Go to the wojdshed and take a few chops," replied the kind lady.—Phila delphia Ilecord.

John Roach's Skilled Workman Found Assistance Outside of His Craft. t*'l was In charge of the Cop persmith's Department of John Roach A Sons'shipyard, where I was employed for nearly twenty years. I had enjoyed robust health all my life until I was ta ken with disease of the kidneys. I used many remedies, hut, get ting no relief, 1 consulted a phy sician, who told me that I Had Kidney Trouble. weeks I noticed with some concern that instead of there being any Improvement, I was actually getting worse. Plainly something more effective must be done. At this time I saw the advertisement of Dr. : David Kennedy's Favorite Itemedy. I bought a bottle of the medicine, and when I had taken itl was decidedly better. I continued its use and am NOW PERMANENTLY WELL, for this was many years ago, and I have never had a single symptom of the disease since. Dr. Kennedy is froe to tell anyone, far and wide, that I was cured of kidney disease by Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite , Remedy. And I recommend its use to everyone j afflicted. GEO.
