In speaking of the poisoning of dogs in New Albany, Editor Tay lor of the Mirror says:"lt is oni-1 opinion that a poisoner is below contempt, whether it be a Ilea bit-1 ten cur or a helpless millionaire such as Sclienk et. al. that gets the' dose." Our sentiments exactly, j Bro. Taylor. The dog poisoner has been getting in his work in La- j porte and while it may be true that there is a surplus of the Canis family in this borough, we think I the dropping of poison in various, places is a mighty poor way to (lis- 1 pose of them. It also places a i tempting bait in the way of good ' dogs that some one pays taxes on j and is the personal property of I some citizen. If allowing dogs to 1 have the freedom of the borough for a parading ground is a menace, why not pass an ordinance compell ing the owners to register such as are valuable as pets or otherwise, and cause them to place a tag on each dog. Then appoint a dog catcher to capture the vagrants' and do away with them in a prop er manner. This looks to us like ,a much better plan than sneaking a death dealing dope in the path of the unsuspecting pup. Think it over. A sad faced editor with fringes on the bottom of his trousers and the wind sighing mournfully through his whiskers sat in his sanctum—thinking. Presently a shadow fell across the room and a shrill voice demanded ti know if he was the editor. "Yes sir," said he with a look of alarm. The owner of the voice mopped the tkor with the editor and went his way. Thank heaven said the editor, after he had gathered to gether the wreck of his former self and had straightened up the furni ture, "life is worth living. I ex pected he would tell me to stop his paper."/—Ex. May—Peterman.

For pure bred poultry pessimism talk turkey to farmers in the gobbler graveyard belt. "Go talk to Sally," said one of these. "She's got one turk left out of sixty." Sally blamed the weather man. "Too turrible soppy fur poults," said she. "When the atmosphere's ogin poults they git eholrey an' sniffles." But "between you, me and the gate post" Sally was to blame, for she hadn't changed stock in ten years, bred only from young birds and rear "iJJ Jm BEAUTY AND HER NEST. Ed the poults with lousy clucks, fed them pasty cornmeal and housed them in dirty boxes. Rut one day we found a farmer chock full of turkey enthusiasm. "Yep," said he, "our turkeys are a suc cess, but <;o and talk to Mary about it. Mary's the turkey raiser." We found Mary, a pretty, dimpled milk maid, and it was pleasant to talk to her. After we htul snapped her favorite hen, Beauty, and while we sat and admired Mary and her turkeys she told us the following interesting tur key tale: "Turkeys should he bred from adults, kept strong by new blood every year, nnd poults should be hatched and rear ed by Mother Turkey for success. "Chicken hatched poults are Inferior. Hen lice kill them quicker than tur key vermin. Hens feed poults (11th and drag them to death. "I dust the turkey three times dur ing hatch—the hen and poults both when she comes off—and put a little sweet cream on the poult's heads to IiEADTV'B EGOS. kill bead lice and go over tbem every week for lice until they are six or eight weeks old. "I house them inn large box, with screen front toward south, and move tills box daily so they sleep.on fresh ground, and when poults are able to get over the foot screen of their small yard I turn them loose, but always feed at nights to lure them home. "Cottage cheese is same as meat to turks, and I make it tills way: I let skimmilk set in 80 degrees heat, and when sour I stir it and then keep It at 00 degrees for twenty minutes and then liaug it in a bag to drain. "I am careful not to overfeed and vary the ration thus: For breakfast 1 chop a hard boiled egg with crisp dandelion and sprinkle with grit; for dinner, dry sweet breuderumlm and cheese; for supper, half an egg, cheese and young onion tops cut fine. "I lead them with good chick feed to red wheat, the standard grain for turkeys. With grit and water before them and such fare the poults quickly grow, and soon my troubles are over, except to save them from storms and bring theoi home ut night." DEATH OF EX-JUDGE THOMAS J.

He has filled nearly every elective office in the gift of the people of this County, among others Prothonotary, Representative, District Attorney and President Judge. It is impossi ble that any man should have filled the places that he occupied as a re suit of mere chance.

A lawyer of the old school, lie held personal and professional integrity above mere financial gain. llin career as Judge sustained his reputation asa lawyer. Industrious, careful, impartial, his record on the bench sheds luster on the history of the Hth judicial district of Pennsyl vania. As a citizen, he was clear sighted and public spirited. Every worthy cuise found in him a friend and champion. In every relation of life as husband, father, brother and friend, he was always faithful to du ty. He has furnished a grand illus tration of tl)e power for good of a human life consecrated to the high est and noblest aims. Everything he did, he did well, and his charac ter remains as an example ami a pre cept to those who come after him in the profession of which he was so conspicuous and so honored a mem ber. In the fullness of years and hon ors, he has passed from among us- May he rest in peace.

Mullen, } F. W. Meylert, [ Committee. J. G. Scouten, j In the death of ex-Judge Thom as J. Ingham of Laporte, the northeastern part of the state loses one of its most distinguished men, and one who during his long and active career served the people most importantly. He was a law yer of the old school, and one who was an acknowledged leader in his profession. As a judge he display ed both an analytical and an im partial mind, his record upon the bench being one of credit both to himself and the district over which he presided. His literary tastes and attainments were displayed in many articles that have appeared in print, and as a conversationalist and companion he was most delight ful.—vWillianisport Sun. Jennie McCarty.
