Spencer fell ami broke tier hip bone ami also dislocated j arne, Saturday |of last week. This j very unfortunate accident occured j while she was piling some slab wood by the side of her wood shed and as the pile was about to fall she endeav ored to get a safe 'distance from it hurriedly by stepping backward,and doing so fell, causing the serious injury as stated. She was assisted to the house and medical aid summon ed. I'pon examination it was found to be so serious that it was advised she be taken to the Wiiliamsport hospital. Mr. Harry Spencer, lur son, arrived from Wiiliamsport 011 Monday morning and had her re moved to his home on the following evening. She is reported to have withstood the journey very well,and also the painful task of having the fraetered members putin proper place. It is sincerely hoped by her many friends that her recovery will be speedy and permanent. Tree preservation is a branch of ed ucation that has been shamefully ne glected in this state. To begin with, we have so many trees that nobody ever thought of the approach of time when they would become scarce. The reckless pace set by the early settlers was kept up by their descend ants,'and even yet human greed drives prudence and discretion to the rear. Many are beginning to realize the situation, a fortunate thing, since a few more years of reckless waste would have left unto us noth ing but a desolate land. Parents and teachers can do their children no kindlier service than by teaching them to priserve the forests and to care for the life of the trees. A treeless land would mean ruin in Pennsylvania. This fact ought to stimulate all who have to do with the training of the coming generation to the earnest effort to train up a race of Pennsylvanians who will not only spare the noble trees nnd aid in increasing their number, but see that others spare them also. Two thoughts should be impress ed upon tha minds of young and old. These are tree planting and tree pre servation. Whenever possible a tree should be planted for the bent fit of coming generations. He who puts a tree in the ground and waUihcs it until assured that it will live, does a good deed, the effects of which will be left long after he has passed away. What is spring? It is a pulsing in the trees; a new song in the wind; I that the birds flutter more recklessly; that the flowers begin to push up their tiny stalks; that beneath the failed grass and through the woods; stud in the meadows and even under neath the flagstone* in the street, a million little voices begin to call one to another, a million infinitesimal things begin to throw and awaken and live, and a new comes into our eyes and a new life into our souls and a new song into our hearts, be cause, some way we are dimly con scious that the world is undergoing a great change. Spring is life. There is nothing in the world so wonderful. The winter has gone. The snows and frosts are things of the past. A world that has been dead isalnxit to become a world that alive. We must live again with this new born world. There were beautiful flowers in our life last year—new hopes, new ambitions, new resolves. Then because life lias its seasons, too, the time came when they lost their freshness and their beauty. That must be the reason spring i* given to us over and over again, so that we may forget the storms and bitter days of winter, and take new hope and new heart in the marvelous re ; awakening of life all amund us. The ■ robin, the violet, and the small boy life has begun all over again for them, i Shall it not begin again for us? Boatman-Laird Wedding. At the hotel Curroll Dushore Mr. | Leonard It. Hoatman and Susan Ag nes Laird both of Sonestown were I united in holy bonds of matrimony (Thursday April 25, 1!»07 by Rev. ! J. F. Jloover. A host of friends join i in wishing them a long and prosper (in.-i journey through life. Death of John N. Hazen. Mr. John N. Hazen died at his home in Sonestown, Pa. 011 April 20, 11)07. Mr. Hazen was a. soldier in the Civil war and served under Captain Charles H. Bewley, Co. fJ. 61st Regiment Pennsylvania Vol unteers and was honorably dis charged in June 1865. Mr. Hazen was well known throughout this county. He was born in Lycoming county January 10, 1844, and mov ed to Sonestown when he was but 5 years old. He also attended the grist mill at Sonestown for over twenty five years. Mr. Ilazen is survived by his widow and the fol lowing children: Mrs. C. J.Bl ink of EagleeMere, Mrs. George H. Ed wards of Jersey Shore, Mrs. J. C. Starr of Sonestown, Mrs, W. F. Donovan of Sonestowu, Edward of Sonestown, and Miss Jennie Hazen. "The Reason for Eagles Mere" the title of the 1907 Eagles Men booklet issued by the Wiiliamsport and North Rranch railroad. As al ways, the booklet is a model of tin printers', photographers' and en gravers' arts, and, as its name indi cates, gives"the reason for Eagles- Mere," a very complete and forceful presentation v hy J. Horace Mcl'ar land, reinforced by illustrations that make one want to hie away to tin peerless mountain top resort the first hot day. Building Boom ior Wilkesßarre Last months building permits in Wilkesßarre aggregated a quarter of a million dollars and still hand some apartment houses are in con templation of erection throughout the city. There is a great boom there for the carpenter trade and other mechanical construction work. Mr. Aeeler has engaged his service Jwith our former townsman A. E. Tripp, «, ho is doing contracting in that City. According to the Wilkesßarre Record he has commenced operation on a handsome block for Morgan and Hughes and another building 84x45 under contract. Mrs. James Gallagher Dead. Mrs. James Gallagher of Satter field died April 2l> at the age of 7:5 years. She is survived by four sons and one daughter: Martin of Punx sutawney; John of Jamison City; M. P. ot Bernice; and Thomas who lives on the homestead; and Mrs. James Foley of Satterfield. The remains were interred at St. Basils cemetery on Monday. Burning Ashes a Failure The attempt to convert ashes into a practical fuel mav prove an utter failure as is now indieatad, hut the widespread interests in the experi ments sheds an interesting light, on the avidity with which the people of to-day grasp at the slightest indi cation of a method for the suppress ion or reclaiming of waste. It is probable the most substantial ly beneficial inventions of the pres cut day have been along the line ol extracting value from by products formerly thrown aside as useless. But only a beginning has been made in this direction. There are fortunes awaiting those who will discover still more ways of turning waste products to good account. There is no occasion for discourage ment in the mere fact that ashes won't burn. Perhaps they'll dosome thing else of more value to the indi vidual who's clever enough to find it out. There are as good fish in the sea as were ever caught. Milton is elated over the fact that a silk mill is to be operaU-d there. The main building will be 10:1 feet I front by 58 feet wide, two stories ■ high, with two annexes each 100x48 a water tower 22x22 and power house 48x52. The buildings will all be con structed of brick. The mill will be erected on a plot of ground situated on Fast Hepburn street, near the eiiy line, which was purchased fromJ.lt. Miller. The company will be known as the Snyder H. Souter Silk Com ; pany and will be incorporated under ! the laws of the Stite with a capital I of SI 50,000. Advanced Preparation. A. S. Crossley, a Rloomsburg black smith, has decided to provide for himself a monument, which he will have erected in itosemont cemetery as soon as it is completed. Mr. Cross ley says that by building himself a tombstone he will be sure that his grave will be properly marked after he has left this world, although he shows 110 signs of dying for awhile. He has already prepared the epi taph that he will have placed on it and will manufacture the monument himself. He intends that it Bhall be made out of cement. In this manner he says that he can save a great deal of expense that he would have togo to if he were to have a marble deal er carve him a monument after death. The epitaph which he has decided shall be placed on the monument is as follows: "Stranger, as you pass by; As you are now, so once was I, As 1 am now, so must you be; Prepare yourself to follow me." It is the first time in that town that a man has taken it upon him self to build his own monument. lie says he realizes that we all must die. He is aged about 00 years, and is well known. When President Roosevelt justified his allusion to Moyer and Haywood as "undesirable" he struck through them at socialism in labor organizat ions. -His blow and the response have brought to light aud put before the public the avowed Socialists in "labor." These men—Debs is a con spicuous instance—are steeped in s icialism. They are opposed to the present constitution of society, its private ownership, its competiti< . and free contract. For these men every labor dispute over wages and hours is a new battle field in the great war to overturn society. They believe i;i ,'ioleijce. Force, intimidation, sometimes as sassination and often dynamite are their weapons. They believe in the red flag and use it. Where ttiey are strong, as in San Francisco, they ob ject to the Star* and Stripes in their meetings, as was done the other day when a < Serman organization brought the flag into a labor gathering. They are at war with the spirit, the motive and the purpose of Ameri can institutions. Their most power ful organizations—the Western Min ers' Union, of which Haywood and Moyer are officers—has a long record of crime, planned by its leade.s. ex ecuted by its obscurer members and condoned by its membership. It was and order of men who, under Debs in 1894, turned a peaceful strike in Chicago, close to arbitration, into an industrial war. Men in sympathy with this view and policy in this city precipitated the textile strike of three years ago, with its incalculable losses to the labor, the industry, the markets and the employees of Philadelphia. President Roosevelt's courageous letter forced these men 'to stand up and be counted. They prove to be in the minority, Jus every one knew them to be who knew the facts. In Chicago, in New York and Phila delphia their attempt to marshal the labor organizations of each city in opposition to the President has whol ly Here their floats were turned out of Saturday's labor parade. In New York they were voted down in Sun day's meeting. In Chicago the same thing happened a week earlier. These men are noisy, violent and revolutionary. Big in talk they are few in number. In the dark they are dangerous. In the light they are weak. Americans who labor, in and out of labor organizations, are oppos ed to them, their creed and their work. They are a daily peril to the ad vance of the true interests of labor. The thrifty, industrious, enterpris ing, advancing laboring man and all his interests are the safer because these men are proved to be in a powerless minority. To the Ameri can workingman, drawing the lar ; gest wages known, who expects to own his own home, and often does, ■ to look after his own savings and ; provide for |hls future independent |of State aid, socialism has no attrac tion.— Press 75C PER YEAR BERNICE ITEMS.
