James Foster of this city, was given the three Montour votes. On the fourth ballot the Mont our conferrees voted for Evans and this deadlocked the conference. On the following Thursday, July 17, another meeting was held at the Neff House, Sunbury, when fifty ballots were taken with the same result of seven votes for Godcharles and seven for Evans. With yesterday's balloting the whole number of ballots cast is 120, of which 117 have been tied be tween Godcharles ami Evans.

The OLD TONGUE AND THE NEW [Original.] Ills hobby was language. His pupils eald of lilm, "Professor Robertson fed Mi Greek roots when he was a boy," hnd "Professor Robertson would rather ask for a stone In a dead language than for bread in a living one." These are samples of the Jokes that irreverent un dergraduates heaped upon "the old pro fessor," as they were wont to call him— lie was thirty-eight hut it must not lie understood that they'd Id not love him. lie was a simple minded, ingenuous creature who, like T'nele Toby, would not hurt a fly, and, although lit- was in timate with no one, every one would have been glad to be intimate with him. Among the students In the Woman's college attached to the university was one Eunice Mlddleton, who attended all of I'rofessor Robertson's lectures so long as she was an undergraduate, and when her class ilnished and went out into the world she remained behind to take a postgraduate course in Sanskrit. Iler friends wondered at this, because Eunice was by 110 means scholarly and was less proficient In languages than in any other branch. Perhaps it was this that led her to secure I'rofessor Robertson's services to tutor her dur ing her college career and to take a postgraduate course under him In a class of which she was the only mem ber. She seemed to be intensely inter ested in Sanskrit. She would sit by him for hours poring over her lessons, asking innumerable questions and mak ing now and then a comment which nnuuud tho ppoffssor to si' ™ L t,iC oe trayal of l®noi«uice It Involved. Three years of postgraduate study passed, and when Eunice's classmates return ed for their first triennial meeting they found Eunice still plodding on, I'ro fessor Robertson's only pupil in the class in Sanskrit. "How does Miss Mlddleton get on?" asked one of the returned graduates of the professor. "I presume she speaks the language fluently by this time." The professor put his hand to his chin meditatively. "Miss Mlddleton Is an enthusiastic scholar," he said, "but I fear her mind Is better fitted for more practical branches. She does not progress very rnpidly." "Have you taught her the verb with which we began the study of LatinV" "You mean"— "To love." "No," said the professor Innocently. "Do you think that would help her?" "I am sure of It. Try it. You will convert her Into an apt scholar." Profiting by the advice, the professor returned to his pupil resolved to con centrate his efforts 011 the Sanskrit verb "to love." The new departure seemed only to make matters worse. Eunice got mixed up between Sanskrit and English for"I love," "You love," "He loves," and after a week's drilling became discouraged, broke down and wept 011 the professor's shoulder, lie sympathetically put his arm about her and said something, he scarcely knew what, but when he started anew with the lesson she could give him the San skrit and the English for"I love," "You love," with astonishing ease. Having spent three years in one lan guage and got only so far as the verb "to love," Eunice concluded to gradu ate. Resides, she was engaged to mar ry Professor Robertson, and the facul ty decided that to prolong the course under the circumstances might injure the good name of the college. The pro fessor heaved a deep sigh that he must goon In his studies without the sympa thizing costudcnt, but Kunice delighted him by saying that she would not by any means give up so interesting a study, declaring that every day sho would devote a certain time with him to Sanskrit. During their engagement the pro fessor called upon her three evenings In the week, the first hour of the visit being devoted to the lesson, the rest to illustrations upon the verb "to love." The study was Interrupted for a short time by marriage, but after their re turn from a bridal trip Eunice insisted upon Its resumption, much to her hus band's comfort. Living in the same house, It was not now necessary that they should study In the evenings. The professor's first lecture at the col lege was not given till 11 o'clock, so that each morning from 0 to 10 they sat in the library pursuing a language to which they were devoting the fourth year and of which Eunice had learned little more than the verb "to love." Then came a little stranger to Inter rupt this rare devotion to study. Mrs. Robertson declared that so soon ns the child's habits were properly formed she would rejoin her husband at his books. Weeks went by, uiul yet she made no move to return. The profess or waited patiently, believing that some Impediment still existed which In time would disappear, but the hour from oto 10 was supremely slow. Ho soon lost some of his enthusiasm ns a linguist. One morning, hearing sounds In his wife's bedroom above, ho went up stairs to discover what was keep ing her from a resumption of her les son. Listening at the door, he heard a (plashing and an infantile voice: "BTl'l-abou-glum-agoo!" Then Mrs. Robertson: "Now put its 'ittle footsy tootsy down In the water and splash with its 'ittle finners." Professor Robertson sighed. He had discovered thata new language had sup plemented Sanskrit Returning to his lonely study, he endeavored to become Interested 111 his booVs, Tmii was sur prised that he could see nothing on them but— "B'lTl-abou-glum agoo!"

The middle aged man or woman remembers when the apothecary shop had a dis tinctive smell of drugs and chemicals. Nothing was in sight but jars of won drously colored liquids and powders, crystals and sticks and drawers of cu rious things with Latin labels. The only thing that was at nil attractive for the women was the case of fancy soaps and perfumes, with face powders and cosmetics, and for the men the case of cigars. The soda fountain made the first Innovation. It was 110 such preten tious affair as now dominates the cor ner drugstore, however. It stood mod estly on one end of tho counter. There were five or six kinds of sirups and no Ice cream or hot drinks. Later candy found a place in the apothecary's, then came stationery, and now there are all sorts of bric-a-brac.—New York Press.
