Gallagher has been quite ill for the past week. George A. Shoemaker and son Frank are spending the holidays with W. P. Shoemaker at this place. What we call little things are realy big ones, when the facts concerning theni are known. For instance, take Christmas trees—things small in themselves, while to the average person, they are not so extensively used as to cause any alarm. But it is said that their use is both so general and so grept, that it is fear ed the custom is resulting in the denundation of the forests in some states—particularly the state of Maine. A Christmas with no family tree, may appear to be shorn of one of its chief attractions, and its absence cause the little folks some unhappi ness. But when the tree is set aside a fitting substitute will be found which after a year or two, will read ily take its place, and make Christ mas as enjoyable as in the days when the evergreen embellished the hearth-stone, and the l'ruit hanging on it made merry the hearts of the boys and girls of the household. In view of the possibility of ma terially affecting our forests, by their increasing demand for trees, n <t a few churches in the city will use none this Christinas, thus setting a good example for the parishoners , and others to follow. The guarding of the area of fores- ts, which have escaped the ravage of the ruthless ax of the woodsman, is • becoming an important national ' question—one, the solution of which is occupying the attension of not on ly philanthropists, but of governors and statesmen as well. While playing "butchering" ( Wednesday morning, Herold, the live-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Pecival Brouse near Selinsgrove, shot and intantly killed hsi lttle sis ter Catharine, aged two years. The incidents of the tragedy are • pitiful in the extreme. Early in the • morning the Brouse's butchered I several large porkers, one of the i men rtrst shooting the hogs with a ; 14 calibre rifle. The two little ones ' witnessed the exciting performance and when left alone in the kitchen after breakfast, decided to repeat it as a form of amusement. The little boy was to be the executioner and > his sister one of the swine. Getting the rifle which had been stood be -1 hind the door loaded with several cartridges, the boy commanded his ; >ister to crawl around on the floor on , her hands and kneessand he would thase il'ter her as the man had done with the hogs. This game was con tinued about three or four minutes, then the little girl crawled behind the stove; the boy then laid down on the floor and pointing the rifle at her pulled the trigger, causing one of the cartridges to explode, send ing a bullel crashing through her; left temple, killing her instantly. After flreing the ill fated shot the boy diil not realize what he had done, and ran out into the yard telling his parents that sister would not play with him any more and when they wMit iuto the house to see what was wrong they found her lifeless, bleed ing form behind the stove.
