George Craft of Shrewsbury town-1 ship, who was a candidate for the! Democratic nomination for sherilfj several years ago, suffered a paralyt- j i<* stroke last Sunday. With the thermometer nearingj zero Tuesday night and a rough j blizzard Wednesday, drove thcearly robbins from our midst and set the farmers to meditating on their spring j planting. SheritTCott in company with F. ; M. Crossley conveyed James Shev-. eliug to the Danville asylum the early part of this week. Mrs. Wilcox and daughter Miss Eva, of Buffalo, X.

Mr. Walter Lowe of Laporte Twp. recently left for the state of Wash-j ington where he will join his brother | Parker who went west several months ago. The entertainment given at the j Methodist church last Saturday even-; ing proved a success in every way. A full house showed their apprecia tion of the efforts of those who took ; part in the amusing farce. Over $2C> J was realized from the sale of seats, j Hon. Fred P. Vincent the newly! appointed appraiser of the port oft Philadelphia received a happy sur- j prise as he reached his office to en- j ter upon his new duties. A recep-! tion was tendered him by the em ployees of his otlice. Flowers of all kinds filled every nook and cranny j of the appraiser's office. Behind, Mr. Vincent's chair was a horseshoe of roses intertwined with green, his desk was almost hidden by an im mense boquet of American Beauty roses, palms and carnations tilled every available place in the large office Concealed among the flowers were cages of singing birds. As Mr. Vincent entered his office, the sur prise was pleasing. The entire office force was immediately marshalled in from another door, and passing in review tendered their congratula tions. Andrew Carnegie's establishment of a fund for the benefit of heroes who save life and suffer injury in the act and for the benefit of their depen dents if they suffer death is some thing new in the pensioning way. Nothing of the kind has ever been undertaken before. Hundreds of lives are saved each year by brave rescuers. Often the rescuer receives permanent injury.. Occasionally he is killed leaving his family without means of support. For such both public bounty and private philan thropy have failed to make provision Carnegie is the first in the field. His long hunt for noble ways to give away his wealth has had no better result than this. A place on the Carnegie pension roll will be a plkce of honor and the man who founds this new philanthrophy is himself worthy of high honor. It is his latest gift. Is it too much to say that it is the best? Duvid Mark has sold his hotel busines- at this place to Joseph Car j penter of Dushore, who will take j charge of the Commercial Hotel ! about May Ist. Mr. Marks will ! move into the Messenger house when he leaves the hotel. A Kansas paper tells of the dan gers of newspaper borrowing as fol lows: A man who was too economieal to take the home paper sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees, and in ten minutes his faee looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence ran in to that, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining ass pair of pants. The cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran,up set a four gallon churn full of cream onto some kittens,drowuiug them, in her hurry she lost a |7 set of teeth. The baby left alone crawled through the cream and into the parlor, and ruined a new S2O carpet. During the excitment the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man; the Jdog broke up eleven setting hens; and thecals'es got out and chewed the tails off of four fine shirts.

Mns. E. H. COOK. April 15, 1904. GRANGE SUPERVISION. A Stir Farce In Mleblcss Oru>* Work. Michigan Patrons are ever awake to new methods for advancing the Inter ests and the usefulness of the Order. Their latest "organlwd force" in the forward movement Is a department ot grange supervision and Inspection. The chairman of the executive committee of the Michigan state grange, Mr. P. W. Bedfern, says that "owing to the rapid increase in membership and the desirability of keeping in close toUeb with our Pomona and subordinate granges In their efforts to assimilate, educate and instruct this new member ship iu the duties, obligations, privi leges and opportunities given by our Order to its members It was thought best to present to our state grange a proposition for the creation of a new department to be known as the "de partment of grange supervision and inspection." This recommendation con tained provisions for the appointment of one general and thirteen special deputies; also for the division of the state into districts, each with an ap proximately equal number of granges. This recommendation received favor able recognition and waa made op- j erative by the action of the state 1 grange. In accordance with th« above, j one general and thirteen special depu-, ties have been appointed. The state I has been districted, and these gentle men have commenced work. It is the j duty of these deputies to visit and in spect each and every grange In the state, each deputy In the district to which he has been assigned to eo-op crate, advise, instruct and In every ; legitimate way strive to build up and i strengthen the Order." THE JUVENILE GRANGE- j Oraranlae* Im 1088, Ma Grawtk Ha* Uvea Slaw. The idea of training the boys and girls of the farm home for future use fulness by the organization of Juvenile granges originated in Texas in the year 1888, when the first young peo ple's grange was organised. A resolu tion directing the exeeuUve committee to prepare a suitable ritual wa» passed at the session of the national grange In Sacramento, Cal., in 1888. Jonathan J. Woodman, P. M., of the national grange drew up the present ritual, which was adopted at Atlanta, Ga., In ISB9. Since that the work had prac tically died out, to be revived again during the last few years in New Eng land and Michigan. At the recent meeting of the national grange In Rochester it was voted to procure the requisite regalia and work ing tools for conferring the juvenile de gree. Any ehild whose parents are mem bers of the Order is eligible to mem bership in the Juvenile grange. He must be eight years of age and under fourteen, for at the latter age he may become a member of the subordinate grange. In strictly rural communities, where there Is less to occupy the young In a social way than In villages, the Ju venile grange seems to flourish best. It gives young people a most valuable mental and social training at an age when impressions are most easily made and prepares them for membership in the subordinate grange when they ar rive at the proper age. It cultivates the polite graces. It gives self confi dence. It Inculcates truth and moral ity. The granges should not lose tills grand opportunity for molding the lives of farmers' boys and girls and in stilling early the excellent principles of our beneficent Order. j Trial List, May Term 1.fi04 Return day, MHV 23.

Life Insurance A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A POLICY WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE BKCAUSK —Incontestable from the date of issue. Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because -non forfeitable front date of issue. Be cause—-cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy-holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this. In fact NEW YORK LIFE policies do not leak. Health and Accident Insurance also written. A postal card will bring an agent to you. or a person interview can be had at the office Saturdays, regular olliee day. GEO. BROWN, Agent. I.OPKZ, PA. Office in Dr. Chrictian Bl'd.
