stove preparatory to doing the fam.

fire did not spread to the other
buildings. The wash house with all
its contents was destroyed.
The most neglected and ignored
borough ordinance of this town is
the ordinance pertaining to the side
walks. In open weather some of the
pavements are and next to impass-
able on account of broken and worn
planks, ete., and when there is much
snow many of the sidewalks are
blocked with snow to such an ex- |
tent that women and children can
not travel over them. True the bus- |
iness people and many of the resi-
dents in the business part of town
open their walks but many others
do not have pride enough in their
surrounding premises to remoye the
snow from the walks fronting on
the street. The borough authorities
should enforce this ordinance or see
that it is promptly repealed.

GREENVILLE.
You have only one mother my boy,
Whose heart you can gladden with
joy,
Or cause it to ache till ready to break,
So cherish that mother, my boy.
You have only one mother who will
stick to you through good and
through ill,
And love you, although the world is
your foe,
So care for that love ever still. ~
You have only one mother to pray,
That in the good path you may stay;
Who for, you won’t spare self-sacrifice
rare,
So worship that mother always.
You have, only one mother to make
A home ever sweet for your sake;
Who toils day and night for you with
delight,
To help her all pains ever take.
You have only one mother to miss,
‘Who has departed from this—
So love and revere that mother while
here,
Sometime you won’t know her dear
kiss.
You have only one mother—just one—
Remember that always, my son;
None can or will do what she has for
you,
What have you for her ever done?
Though rough was the pathway that
here I have trod,
My feet shall soon stand on the
: mountains of God;
Upon their bright summit no cloud
can arise,
There the bright sunlight of Ged
never dies.

SWIMS THROUGH THE
PANAMA CAnAL.
An American professional swimmer
swam through 30 miles of the Panama
Canal last November, covering this
distance in a total swimming time of
16 hours and 35 minutes. It is estim-
ated that a vessel will require 10
hours for passage through the 50 miles
of the entire canal. The swimming
feat required parts of two days for its
completion. On the first day the
29-mile stretch from Gatun Locks
through Gatun Lake to a point near
the north end of. Culebra Cut, where
the swimmer was compelled to leave
the water on account of weeds, was
covered. Government regulations
prohibit swimming in Culebra Cut
nor.h of the Cucaracha slide and,
after resting a day, the swimmer
started again at the south side of the
slide and swam to Balboa, the Pacific
end of the canal. On this stretch are
the Pedro Miguel Lock, passed in 15
minutes, and the Miraflores Locks,
where a rest of 356 minutes was taken.

Unjust Prejucice
Against Bloodhonds.
Popular prejudice against blood-
hounds operates against the advis-
ability of this dog as a wathdog in
the opinion of the State Economic
Zoologist, Professor H. A. Surface,
who had one on his Cumberland
county farm. To a Huntingdon coun-
ty man who inquired about getting a
blood hound to guard his orchard,
Prof. Surface wiote:
‘“While blood-hounds are very gentle
and affectionate in disposition, they
are ferocious looking, and strangers
are afraid of them. The very fact
that there is a bloodhound on the
premises keeps strangers away, es-
peclally after night.
“The diffiiculty was that some of
my near neighbors aid good friends
hesitated to come to the place on
account of the presence of the dog,
and as he was of a visiting disposition
he would often go to their premises,
and I fear that this may haye worried
them and caused them anxiety as to
the safety of their famillies. I never
had any trouble from marauders while:
I had this dog, yet there seemed to
be an unjust prejudice against him,
and finally one of the neighbors shot
him. As he was off of my property
at the time I bave said nothing about
it. :
“T gsolve the problem further I ob-
tained an Airdaile dog, which is prac-
tically as good as a bloodhound, and
is an excellent watchdog around the
premises, and at the same time is of |
a very kind disposition toward mem- |
bers of the family. Neither the blood-
houud nor the Airdale will be found
at all cross to children.”
