Our old friend A. K. Gift, of Lex

Upon the arrival of the Liberty

professes, but judgo a man by his
acts.

Don't burn tho leaves, for they
are too valuable for that. Put
them around your rose bushes,
gooseberry, raspberry currant and
grape roots, or anywhere, but don't
burn them. They are nature's
fertilizer, and nothing else is equal
to them. So' don't bum the leaves,
it's poor policy.
The man who keeps large sums of
money about his person or in his
dwelling invites robbery and inur
iler. Few can make themselves
thoir own bankers without tho
matter becoming public property,
and that is the beginuing of the evil.
Hit is far better to patronize tho
banks than to run such a risk.

No man ever becomes great, wise

like to impress upon the minds of
Many idle young mon. A young

frugal, and set before you an object
a life, you will succeed t but if you
ue indolent, improvident and

V man must havo a purpose, he must
aake up his mind what ho means to

There is a class of laborers who
never strike and seldom complain.
They get up at 5 o.clock in the
morning and never go to bod until
10 or 11 o'clock at night. They
work without ceasing during the
whole of the time, and receivo no
other emolument than food and
clothing. They understand some
thing of every branch of economy
and labor from financo to cooking.
Though harassed by a hundred re
sponsibilities; though reproached
aud looked down upon, they never
revolt and they cannot organizo for
thoir own protection. Not even
sickness relievos thorn from their
post. No sacrifico is doomed too
groat for them to make, aud no in
competency in any branch Cof their
work is excused. No essays or
poems are written in tributo to
their steadfastness. They die in

CO., PA., NOVEMBER 9, 1893.
Hunting the Quail.
The highest level iu tho true
sportsman's life is tho hunting of the
quail a verdict rendered by all who
have indulged in tho sport. A good
breech loading shot gun, ono or two
;ood dogs, and a congenial com
anion aro tho three essential elo
nents to tho sport, while a pair of
rood logs, ti steady nerve aud a
uiijk, suro aim aro tho requisite ele
neiits of success.
Go with mi into the Held for a
iiorning. Tho grass is white with
fVost, and tho tender bl.tdcs cracklo
itjid break under your feet. Tho air
U biting cold aud your ears and
tinnds sting as if pierced by n thous
and needles. Tho ears lament for
too covering of a hand and tho hands
coin-4aiu for tho protection of a
glove, but both aro out of tho ques
tion for something is going to hap
pen that will require all hands and
eyoBlind ears. The dogs are jump
ing ftild ifroliciug over tho tall jstub
bles. Now they stop und scent tho
frosted ground. Their tails assume
a rapid motion from sido to si.le.
They follow a crooked, winding trail
when suddenly they stop as if root
ed to tho ground, tho ouo n little
in front of tho other. The first dog
is on a "point"' and tho other is
'"backing" him. "Careful now !" is
the btern command, and tho hun
ters move up close to tho dogs. You
may bi within ten feet of tho game,
but it is impossiblo for the keenest
eye to discover the sign of a bird,
so well is the color of birds adapt
od tTus oovor. , -Apother step, and
whirrrrrrrr, out they come like chaff
blow n out of a basin, and)ff they go
like gum balls with wings. Bang-baug-baug
bang ! Not a bird even
as mucli as lost a leather. 1 he itoirs
look up inquiringly as if to as!
what's tho matter with you this
morning T ilio sportsmen guv
each other. The one blames it on a
fumble the other on his shells.
Tho birds lly far and scat ter all over
a ten aero field. Now is the time to
make a bag. "You tuko the right,
birds I take tho left. Straight a ways
both firo." Tim dog- havo already
come to a "point."' It is a straight
away and at the simultaneous re
port of both guns the bird drops
dead as a hammer. Tho dogs an
commanded to "Fetch dead bird,'
and tho retriever gathers it in his
mouth aud delivers it to his nister
without the rufilo of a feather. Only
a rod further ami tho dogs stand
again as rigid as steel. Tho bird
rises to the left and a singlo report
announces that another bird is ready
for the bag. And so tho sport goes
on until half the birds aro killed
when a new covey is hunted for no
one but a pot-hunter will kill all tho
birds in a covey and thus settle tho
matter of re-production. At twelve
o'clock (which comes before you
think you had been out un hour)
you are called to dinner. It then
occurs to you that you aro as hun
gry as a bear a thing you hadn't dis
covered till just that minute so en
tirely were you takou up iu the sport.
Tho nearer you come to tho tablo
tho more hungry you got, and by
tho time you catch tho scent of tho
smoking dinner your "appetite has a
razor edge and you eat well ask
'Sipiire Kohler Peck ami his good
wifo at McKees i Falls, how Lank
Kroegcr can cat !
The after-noon is a repetition of
the fore-noon only more so and
whon night throws her sablo mantle
over the earth you lind yourself in
cozy homo whero another sat
isfying moal awaits you, and then
in tho society of congenial com
panions you sit smoking and chat
ting, eating apples mid drinking
cider caring littlo whether school
keeps or not. And, finally, sleep
stoals over you liko a summer cloud,
and you retire to such a rest as only
awaits a clear conscience and a tired
body.

AS tormy November.
Ira Hicks, the weather prophet,
in his forecast for November says
thut about tho 2d and :td of No
ember will cent ro a reactionary
change to warm. About the "th a
very marked storm period will
begin. This period will set iu with
a decided change to warmer in
western parts, resulting iu very
active storms of rain and wind,
turning to snow nnd sleet iu many
places northward and followed
promptly by a severo and general
cold wave. From about tho 7th to
Mth, beginning in tho west all parts
of tho country will in turn experience
the progressive and changing phases
of the period. These aro reasons
to apprehend hard and dangerous
gales in connection with tho dis
turbances of thii period, especially
on tho lakes and northerly seas
Sharp, cold and freezing may bo
expected immediately behind tho
area of low barometers, and storms,
causing cold and frosty weather
generally up to tho changes to
wanner and stormy from about the
lfth to loth. The opposition of
Jupiter occurs on tho lth and there
is much indication that these opio
sitions greatly excite nil atmospheric
perturbations occuring about such
times.

This bill will provide a nation-

to the bill because it will supercede

Acceirding to his analysis tho bill is

Getting Rid of Rats.
An Ohio farmer, writing to 7Vm
Amtricitn Ayrirulturint, says: On
the barn lloor I placed a 'M gallon
ke ttle tilled half full of rye. A plank
lifee t long led from tho lloor to tho
kettle. Tho rye was left in the
kettle for about a fortnight, until
tho rats had bocomo thoroughly
familiar with tho kettle and wero
making it tho headquarters for
their nightly revels with seeming
coufidonco that no harm was in
tended, when, very "treacherously,
one evening water was substituted
for the grain, and a half inch of
chaff from tho barn lloor concluded
tho water. The result was that 21
drowned rats wero forked out tho
first morning and C2 within a
week, ami after that no rats were
seen for a year.
And the next day it snowed.
