A good thing will sometime or auother be known and appreciated, notwithstanding an existing prejudice by some who would do it no good.

The Intelligencer is the only opposition to Republicanism iu Montour's newspapers aud could scarcely expect more, but when our gentlemanly board may adjust their thinking cxps properly, we believe their conscience will severely prick them when they realize that it was the Democrats who elected them to their respective positions. It does not pay to be too hasty in anything we do or say, and we therefore believe that this great mistake on the pari of our new board of commissioners will be sorely lamented by them, and would not have been made, had aire or all of them been in knowledge of the fact that MORE OF THE I>EST AND INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY SEE AND READ THE INTELLIGENCER THAN ALL THE OTHER WEEKLY PAPERS IN THE COUNTY. —As has been mentioned iu the newspapers, the railroads of the coun try have quit giving passes. They don't give passes to anyone now — that is, hardly ever. In all the great railroad offices one of the perquisites greatly enjoyed by the railroad people has becu free theatre tickets. Theat rical troups always want favors from the railroad companies, and have beer, only too delighted to reciprocate with a few tickets for choice seats. Last week at Chicago a prominent railroad official sent his office boy to the office of a big theatre, with a re quest for four choice box seats. The boy came back with a polite note say ing that the "no pass" rule had been putin force at the theatre, and that the price of the seats for that particu lar night was SIB. That railroad official scratched his chin very thoughtfully. But he had asked his wife and two friends for the evening, and he finally dug up a ten, a five and two fifty cent pieces, and went to the theatre. But he didn't have a very good time. Growth of the Hair. The hair is not like plants. It Is nothing more than unsensible threads of skin, or, rather, papillae, as they are called, which grow iu their proper places under tlie same conditions as the nails on the linger ends. Tlie liair papillae do not lie on the surface of the skill, but are sunk more or less deeply into It, more deeply as the hair Is longer, so that long hairs adhere iu a deep sac. The number of these hair papillae of course varies considerably with different people, but for each Indi vidual is constant aud unchangeable anil cannot be iuereased any more than can tlie number of one's linger nails. The number of hairs depends on the pa pillae; consequently if there are no pa pillae there can be no hair. Moreover, the number of these papillae is con stant, so that the idea of increasing their number by clipping tlie hair must tie abandoned. The growth of the hairs depends rather on the well being of all the papillae, but they are con stituent parts of skin and share Its fate alike in both good and evil days. Firnt Letter Cnrrlem. It is not clear that the letter carriers were regularly employed before 1753, when tradition tells us that Benjamin Franklin, the new postmaster general, employed them in Philadelphia and possibly in New York. The earliest ev idence we have is of 1702, when the Philadelphia postmaster advertised that his "boy" had run away and that patrons must call for their letters at Ihe postofliee. The Postal Journal of Hugh Flnlay. a storehouse of sound in formation, tells us that Boston had no letter carrier in 1773. Of New York ho says that "soon after the arrival of a mail the letters are quickly delivered by a runner," which means messenger or letter carrier. Same Old Story. "Does he pay his alimony promptly?"

Regular Hold-Up Game. Bloomsburg, I'a., Jan. 24. During the hearing of liquor license applications for several days past, Associate Judge Krickbaum has taken a hand in the proceedings by ques- i tioniug the applicants regarding the amount of money their applications had i cost them, and it they paid any other amount than the usual attorney fees. The reason for the questions, he stated, was that he had been inform-, ed that certain amounts had been demanded from applicants before they , could secure a license. Following the announcement of the granting and refusal of licenses this morning Judge Krickbaum sprung a surprise by having read ill open ; court an affidavit sworn and subscribed to by M. J. Harris, of Scran ton, on I January 22, and alleging "that Attorney Grant Herring, residing at Blooms- | burg, PH., called on him, the said Harris, in the city of Scran ton, Decern- j her 4, 1905, ami demanded him to sign a note for 8300 aud pay him SSO ; , cash before he, Harris, could secure his license, which the said Harris re- i > fused to do.'' , Herring denies the allegation as preposterous and a lie out of the t whole cloth. He was connected with Harris application. Harris was grant ed a license for a hotel in West Berwick, the only new license granted in that borough. Judge Krickbaum says that he has done his duty by making public ; the affidavit and that he has more of them aloug the same line, which he will , make public at the proper time. Nine new liceuses were granted by the Colombia Court this morning, and eleven applicants for new places refused. Of the nine licenses granted President Judge Little concurred in one aud dissented in the other eight. 1 Sight Comes Like Flash To an Aged Blind Man After Thirteen Years in Darkness He Suddenly Announces Recovery of Faculty to Family. Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 24. While seated with his family today, Tobias Sehiudle, aged 81, who had been blind for thirteen years, suddenly startled them by the statement that lie saw again. They were inclined to treat his startling announcement as the vagary of an aged mind; but, to their astonishment, he snatched up a newspaper and started to read it. The doctors say that this is "second >ight," which comes very rarely. The old man bids fair to live quite a j number of years, for he is hale and hearty. j SUICIDE NO BAN ON INSURANCE Widow Entitled to Benefit From Order of Heptasophs. Trenton, Jan. 18.—Chief Justice Gum mere Ims filed an opinion in the Supreme Court, holding that suicide is no ban on lodge benefits. The suit was brought by Mrs. Margaret Saut ter, of Newark, against the Supreme Conclave, Improved Order of Hepta sophs. The complainant's husband was insured for SIOOO in the order, and when he committed suicide the widow asked for the insurance money. This was refused, because the order had adopted a rule that no benefit was to be paid on the life of a member committing suicide. The Court up holds Mrs. Sautter's claim. FINGERS AND FORKS. Never use a fork when taking a piece of bread. Avoid using a spoon for anything that is not liquid. Pastry should be eaten with a fork; also ice cream where the proper forks are served. It is permissible to eat celery, corn, asparagus, water cress and undressed salad with the fingers. Olives should be lifted from the dish with the olive fork or spoon, but should be eateu from the lingers. Lemon is often served with fish and pancakes. The lemon should be taken In the lingers and squeezed upon the viands. 112 If cut sugar is served and there are no sugar tongs In the bowl, lift the pieces out as delicately as possible with the tips of the fingers.—New York Press. Couti»oftite I'ronoun Wanted. The want of a composite "pronoun to express both "he"and "she," and, what Is sometimes more important, to ex press neither he nor she, must have embarrassed every one at some time or another. There are uugrammatical ways of shelving the difficulty, such as, for Instance, by translating the con venient French "on" as "they," when we really mean one person who may be either masculine or feminine. The | | lack of a portmanteau word to express j | both sexes without specifying either i did not, however, trouble the new maid who approached her mistress with the ingenious remark, "Please'm, a friend of mine has called—and may I ask it i to tea?"— London Chronicle. • MUTUAL LIFE WILL ACT Investigators Urge Drastic Steps Against McCurdy's Supporters.

Rochester. N. Y. Her Christmas Angel—Or His A CHRISTMAS STORY By Sally Chamberlin Copyright, lUO4, by Sally Chamberlin "Whom do you thiiik I suw today, Susun Strong?" said Ned, with his win ting smiles, as he walked into the room of his invalid sister at the end of his tlay's work. "Eleanor Carrington," replied Susan promptly. Surprise overspread his beaming i countenance. "That's exactly who it was, but how in time did you guess?" "A sort of second sight we invalids have, dear boy," answered his sister. "The moment you appeared around that curtain a sensation swept over me which I always used to have when I saw her standing across the aisle in j church with her unapproachable bear ing and her calm. Madonna-like face. I fairly worshiped her, Ned. Where did you see her?" "At the Grand Central depot. She was helping a crippled boy out of a cab when his crutch fell under the wheels. Maybe I wasn't Mr. Johnny -011-the-Spot! My, but she Is a queen!" More thau this he never said of any girl, for It was Susan's greatest cross that her stalwart brother, the aprle of her eye, had been obliged to give up | his young life, social' and athletic, to j bear the financial burden of her illness. Ned Strong had held the record for i hammer throwing at his university aud had been candidate for the next year's football team wheu he had been forced to put It all behind him and turn his at ' tentiou to sterner realities, including exorbitant bills presented by the spe cialists employed to relieve his sister, j For two years she had suffered with | an affection of the knee which even the most eminent surgeons had been un able to name. For same weeks now she had been fastened in a brace which gave comparative relief and permitted j her to sit up in bed, aud with the ecs j sat ion from suffering came renewed eagerness to hear of the beautiful out side world. "Eleanor doesn't seem to be going In very strong for society," Ned contin ued, perching himself 0:1 the edge of Susan's couch. "When I was lunching j with Billy Sanford yesterday he said she had spent almost the entire smn i mcr going to and from New York with j children whom she was having treated j at the hospital for cripples on Forty second street." ! "Why, Ned, that's the hospital where Dr. Oibb3 is head surgeon. lie was telling me about those patient little . children only yesterday when he was working on my khee." "Sure enough. I telephoned him this morning and he says he has a new contraption which he will try in a week or so that will simply discount the brace j-ou have 011 now." I"1 shall ask him if he knows Elea- I nor." J "Don't you worry. lie isn't the kind , of man who would let such a beauty pass unnoticed and uncultivated though I understand she's spoken for. Hilly says Senator Elkus is the favored suitor." ' "lie's too old for her." This inn tone of disappointment. "That's the way of the world, Sue. The man that's got the money is the only one who need come round. The rest of us poor devils can stand back and adore silently. Think of the crip ples she could have treated on the sen ator's money!" He flung back his shoulders as if throwing off an ugly ihought, then he bent tenderly over the invalid. "Oh, Sue, it is splendid to see you free from pain once more," and with a rousing kiss, emblem of all his devotion and self sacrifice, lie strode away to his solitary dinner. In one of her wakeful night watches ' Susan lived back in the year which had preceded her illness. It came to her ; like a revelation that in those days Ned ! had not exactly stood back and adored l in silence. Eleanor Carrington hat' shared all his college enthusiasm, and though Susan, lively, golden haired lit tle sister of a big strapping brother, had never entirely entered into these interests, in the new light of under standing vouchsafed invalids as a com pensation for physical deprivations she 1 saw why Eleanor Carrington had sud denly dropped out of her brother's life. ; *When Dr. Gibbs called the next i morning he was surprised at her ani mation. , "You want Christmas work to do? Now. see here, you're not worrying about bills and things?" She shook her head. "I Just want to make some one happy for Christmas, j Don't you think 1 could dress some dolls for the hospital children?" "Just the thing to make you forget ! the occasional twinges in tills knee that is, if you don't sit up too long at a time. I'll speak to Miss Carrington, who is chairman of our Christmas com mittee." And he did not dream why the sud t'en, glad licbt came into Susan Strong's eyes. Two days later Eleanor Carringtou's carriage stopped before the humble Strong cottage. She brought into the « sickroom a new and invigorating at mosphere. "My dear piri, I have never heard of your illness. We have lived almost » constantly in the country of late, and j 1 seldom see your brother. Why didn't you let me know? I should have been so glad to come. And now you send for me that you may help me in my work. You make mc feel so—so self- 1 ish." Her rich furs dropped from her shoul ders, and the tall, statuesque young woman fell to I • uie the lit tle invalid with Lu •. pathetic face, big, wistful eyc.j and short, curl ing hair. "Oh, you mustn't feel that way," said • the girl as she stroke 1 the fur with her I wasted hand. "Ned ?:a:: taken such I good care of me. and I—well, I just ' need something to occupy my mind, Did you bring tie dolls?" "Polls? Dozens of them!" said Miss ' cariTngtbn, tiffin hapfiy catarrh Un voice/ "But you must let me cut out the clothes. It is enough for you to lew." J This was the beginning of happy days for Susan Strong. Hardly an aft ernoon passed without a call from , Eleanor, who wanted to see how tlie | gay ladies from Paris, Berlin, Swltzer ! land, Japan and Russia were coming on. Sometimes she laid aside her wraps and sewed with the Invalid. During these hours Susan learned many things, not only of the hospital work, but of Eleanor's life at home and in the social world. And, best of all. she learned that the rumors regard ing the beautiful girl's engagement to Senator Elkus were without founda tion. | Only once did Susan, wise little girl I that she was. refer to Ned. j "If you happen to see Ned, don't tell him about this, will you? I don't want him to know until all the dolls are fin ished, and then we'll have a dress pa rade. Maybe when he sees the work has not hurt me, he—he will let me do something to help him—pay the bills." Eleanor Carrington looked past the iuvalid, through the window, Into the clear winter sunlight as If seeing a faraway picture. "I do not think there is any danger of my seeing your brother." But she was wrong. She saw him the I very next day, when he came home earlier than usual. She had brought some holly to deck Susan's room, for Christmas was drawing near, and she had brought a beautifully embroidered dressing sack for the invalid also. Su san was tying the bow at the throat of her dainty gift and surveying herself in a small mirror. Eleanor was hang ing a holly wreath above the dressing table, when she swung around sudden ly, the gay wreath rolling to the floor. In the mirror she had caught sight of Ned Strong's ainazfed face. lie was standing In the doorway. "Oh, Ned, why did you come too soon?" cried Susan In mock dismay. In reality her heart was singing with very joy. "Eleanor," said the man without moving from the doorway. She stooped to pick up the wreath, and when she stood up once more her color had come back and her composure was perfect. "We were Just fixing a little surprise for you," she said, offering her hand and meeting his glance squarely, "but I don't think you deserve It. You haven't played fair, Ned." Ills glance wavered from her face to the Invalid's couch. Susan was bending over, tying a refractory bow in a doll's hat. Elea nor went on quietly. "You might at least have told me why"— "I couldn't." His voice was very low. "I did not dare ask you to wall." She drew her breath sharply. "And yet you must have known." A minute later Ned Strong bent over his sister's couch. The refractory bow had come to time. She looked up into his foce with shining eyes. "Susan, dear, you're our Christmas angel." Stork Legenda. In an old collection of matronly sto ries entitled "The Gospel of the Dis taff," printed at Bruges lu 1475, this passage occurs: "Wheu a stork builds her nest over a chimney it is a sign that the proprietor shall have wealth and long life." Ancient beliefs admit ted that the stork protected buildings against lightning. It is a holy bird, and In certain German towns the ar rival of the storks, heralds of spring, was announced with Joyous blasts by the watchman 011 the tower. What Is certain is that which Mlchelet says of the swallow may be applied to tho stork, "He has taken not only our house, but also our hearts." Legends go still further. They con sider storks as the Incarnatlop of de parted souls. In that metamorphosed capacity they have for mission to search the bottom of wells for the souls of newborn Infants. In the whole of northern and central Germany they have their baby wells. Hamburg, too, had her "klndelbrunnen." This naive faith has its origin in ancient mytholo gy, which represents the stork, Jointly with the peacock, as the favorite bird of Juno, goddess of maternity.—French of Maurice Engelliart. Dcrtlc With Mnxlm Gun. One of the instructors of a big uni versity led the way to a small box, smiling with pride as he did so. "I want to show you a rare species of bee tle," said he. The beetle, which was a burnished blue, with a rod head and red legs, lay partly hidden under a stone. The In structor advanced his finger slowly. The beetle waited, watchful gnd in trepid. The finger almost touched the Insect, and then—puff, a cloud of blue smoke shot out, and under cover of this smoke the beetle beat a rapid re treat. "Isn't that marvelous?" the instruct or said. "And the little rascal can emit puff after puff-can fire gun after gun—nineteen or twenty to the minute. No wonder he Is called the bombar dier, Is it? • "This bombardier beetle Is rare. He has In his body certain glands secret ing a liquid which, on contact with the air, has the curious property of turn ing Into a smoky vapor. Tho vapor is his defense against bigger beetles. Hidden under it, he seeks a new re treat." Funerals In the Highlands. A Scottish correspondent writes of funerals in the highlands: "There are no undertakers here. A carpenter makes the simple cofHn, relatives and friends carry it, hip high, to its last resting place, which Is dug when tho end of the Journey Is reached, and, having walked perhaps six miles to the chosen kirkyard, they take a re freshment of sandwiches and whisky and walk home again. The rigorous absence of pomp is maintained, but there is the added embellishment of pipe music." Got Near to Them.

It Was Duilt by Oliver Kvana, Who Conldu't Lay Ip Money. The real inventor of the locomotive never realized a cent from his inven tion. Ills uauie was Oliver Evans. He was horn in Delaware lu 1750 aud speut ail his life perfecting Inventions which were destined to bring him nothihg but more poverty. lie was the original in ventor of the high pressure engine used in locomotives, the only kind that could be employed to advantage in this form of transportation, but realized nothing for his idea. His application of the notion to both land and water power was sojnewhat novel. In 1804 tlie municipality of Philadel phia called for bids for the dredging of the river and the cleaning of the docks. Evans put lu a bid lower than any of his competitors and when it was ac cepted determined to build a steam boat to do the work. He fitted out a scow with a steam j engine, building both the engine and the scow in his own workshop. When the boat was ready to be launched Evans determined to give the j people of Philadelphia an object lesson in mechanics, so he put the boat on wheels, fitted up a push wheel behind, set his engine to work and propelled the boat through the streets to the riv er in the midst of an open mouthed throng, not a few of whom had a dim idea that he ought to be arrested for witchcraft. When tho boat reached the bank of the river, the wheels and axles wero taken off, the craft was launched, fitted out with other wheels and made to do the work of dredging the harbor. So far as the invention of mechani cal devices went Evans had a splendid genius, but when dollars and cents came up for consideration he was a mere child, and even allowed himself to be cheated out of the money that was due him for cleaning the Philadel phia harbor with his new faugled 6teumboat. THE PUEBLO INDIANS. Their Rcllftloii Is la a Way a Specie* of Water Worship. Eagle feathers are much used In tho ceremonials of the Pueblo Indians, and iu order to make sure of a supply the Zuul keep the birds In cages, plucking a few feathers whenever they happen to want them. On the other hand, the Moki have eagles' nests located at va rious spats within thirty or forty miles of their towns, which are considered the property of different clans among them. The eagle lays its eggs iu the same uest year after year, and the clans Inherit rights to certain nests from generation to generation. The eagles are not killed, but the new fledged youug ones are taken from the nest—that Is to say, all but oue or two, which must be left. To remind the eagle god to encourage the laying of more eggs by the birds an egg carved out of wood is placed where the divinity wjll be sure to seo it; ulso, after being plucked, the ea glets are carefully buried lu a certain cleft In the rocks, which Is the eagle cemetery. Here the eagles have been interred for centuries, and the place Is very sacred. The Pueblo Indians have a tradition of the flood, aud they say that the tur key Is marked in commemoration of that event, its tail being black at tho end where it was dragged through tho mud after tho water had subsided. The duck is another sacred bird, be ing associated with water. From tho Pueblo point of view, anything that is related to the all precious water iu auy way is an object of worship, Their re ligion is made up to a great extent of aquatic divinities and might be called a species of water worship, A Caution* Statement.

There are for many reasons, few diseases more to be dreaded than Erysipelas, and it has, not inaptly, been termed "St. Anthony's Fire." There is no dis ease which so completely deforms and distigmes the visage of the patient; and it may fairly be Com pared to a red mask Thrown by a Mocking Demon orer the human /ace. It is almost m dangerous as it is repulsive. Arising from a variety or causes, runnng its course with pain—it often ends suddenly in denth.

This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom ach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epi lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They stop the pain by sooth ing, strengthening and reliev ing the tension upon the nerves —not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral,cocaine or similar drugs. "Sick headache la hereditary in my fanUJy.
