STAB COURSE ENTEffIIMEWS It is not an easy thing to select a course of entertainments that will suit all the people, nor is it an easy task when the work connected with secur ing dates, arranging for the Opera House, printing the prospectus, keep ing the notices in the papers, selling the tickets, reserving the seats, pro viding entertainment for talent, etc., etc., are taken into consideration. Aside from all this, the Y. M. C. A., through its committee,involves itself, in order to secure these entertainments for the pleasure and profit of the peo ple, to the amount of S6OO and over, at the beginning of the season, and then vigorously proceeds to make the venture a success financially and other wise. Sometimes there is a balance in band that makes it worth while, at other times the committee is not so thoroughly delighted with its success financially. Surely if the Association is willing to undertake this work of providing elevating and clean entertainment that can be enjoyed by everybody those who have the best interests of the town at heart,, should not hesitate to patronize ttie course,and in some mea sure, a least,help in the success of the work. To refuse to be a part of the enterprise on the grounds that it is a money-making scheme, or to purchase a ticket,and count it as a subscription to the Y M. C. A.,is to take a wrong view of the real purpose of the Course of Entertainments. The Committee's notice for bringing these yearly courses of star attractions to our town, is to provide for the peo ple an opportunity at small cost, to enjoy a little pleasant diversion dur ing the winter months, consisting of entertainments and lectures that could not possibly be enjoyed in any other way. If, therefore, the Y. M. C. A., through its entertainment Committee, is willing to give the time and energy required to bring to our town some of the very best attractions obtainable, and at trifling cost, there ought to be hearty support of the enterprise by all citizens interested in clean, pure, en tertainment, as an evidence of appre ciation. Of coarse, the Committee endeavors to realize a profit 011 its entertain ments, which is used in the running expenses of the Association ; but the amount realized during any one seasou is uot large at most, and tor this rea son, in older that the venture may prove a real success, everybody should be willing to contribute to the aggie gate by the purchase of a ticket for the entire course. Seven hundred tick ets should be sold 111 order to come out well ahead. The first entertainment will be "Roney's Boys" Concert Co., an at traction of the very highest order, which will appear in the Opera House Friday eve., November 27th, at 8:15 o'clock. Course tickets ar>* now being sold by persons appointed for that purpose, at fl.oo and $1.25 for the coarse. Tickets are also for sale at Crone's Hook Store, Hunt's Drug Store, W. V. Oglesby's office and the Y. M. C. A. The Committee advises the purchase of Reserved seat tickets at once. Thirteenth Annual Convention.

Met 'lure and Mrs. R. J. Allen,the former on Thurs day evening and the latter on Friday evening PARTNER TOOK THE CASE John Kemp, a young man of this city,says he has been made the victim of a trick, and is the poorer to the amount of S6OO by reason of his ac quaintance with the man whom bo ac cuses. Some time ago Mr. Kemp and a mail giving his name as James Van Horn, anil his residence as Chicago, came here from Pittsburgh and began to build an automobile. They started with a capital of £1,200, each contri buting half. On Monday Van Horn disappeared, having first cashed a check for the total amount of the firm's deposit, which at that time was $l,lOO. He has since been missing. The police have been notified and Mr Kemp has offered a reward of #IOO for his arrest. Mr. Kemp, who is a former Will iamsporter, was employed for some time at Pittsburgh with the Westing house company. There he met Van Horn, who is an expert machinist. Van Horn had plans for an automobile, which he claimed would revolutionize the business. They were practicable, aud Mr. Kemp acted 011 his offer to establish a co-partnership,aud to come to this city and build a machine. A work room was rented from Frank Stutzmau, and the two men took a living room, keeping bachelor's hall. A large number of castings w ere made at the Kemp & Foulk foundry, of which Eugene Kemp—a brother of the victim—is a member. The plans were considered practical by all the mach inists to whom they were shown, and the work was progressing in splendid style up to Monday morning. On Monday morning Kemp noticed a change in Van Horn, which he could not account for. At noon the latter complained of feeling ill,and said that he would remain home for an hour. He did not again goto the shop, and in the evening had disappeared. At the First National Bauk, whore the funds were kept, a check for #l,lOO was drawn by Van Horn, leaving but #25 in the firm's account. Van Horn left behind him all bis extra clothes, bis bicycle,and all his personal effects. The police have been notified, but there seems to be no clue to the where abouts of the man.

The crop of chestnuts 011 the large chestnut farm of Coleman K. Sober, of Lewisburg, near Paxmos, has just been harvested aud about four hun dred bushels of fine Paragon nuts were secured. These nuts sell at an aver age of #7 a bushel, although selected nuts sell as high as #lO a bushel. The average nut is the size of a half dol lar. They are of delicious flavor, and unlike the large Italian chestnuts sold here and which are inclined to be rather stringy, are crisp and tooth some. The nuts this season are the choicest yet grown 011 the novel farm. The chestnut grove is a part of Mr. Sober's large 700 acre farm, located about six miles from Paxinos and about eight miles from Shamokin. The grove covers about three hundred acres on which are 75,000 bearing trees. Mr. Sober is also an extensive raiser of blooded stock and bis racing stables are the best in the state. Mr. Sober is a wealthy lumberman, of Lewisburg, an ardent sportsman and an advocate of forest and game protection. He is a member of the Pennsylvania Game commission.

WILL CUT FREE RADIOS After November Ist Shamokin will be eliminated from the free radius of tlio United Telephone and Telegraph Company. There has heeu a general shortening up of tin free radius over the entire system rendered necessary by its increasing popularity and growth of busiue-s. When the system first went into operation the trunk lines found it ail easy matter to accommo date all the business between different towns. As patronage increased, how ever,the lines being free, a congestion naturally endued with the result that the service at the present is by no means of tin be-t, the patrons in the different towns m< • ting with frequent and aunoying delays in their i lforfs to communicate. What adds somewhat to the conges tion is the fart that the U. T. <V" T. Go. is made a vehicle for carrying the business of the Hell Telephone Com pany which has put 'phones in many towns at greatly leduced rates but with a free radiu< that i- extremely limited. It i- known that in many in stances the patrons of the Bell through the kindness of neighbors are enabled to use the United system where the free service of their own falls short. When the business began the free radius of the U. T. T. Co. was enor mously large, much larger than that of the Hell. For the reasons stated above, therefore, if ha- been decided to cut the free tadiu-. This, if is be lieved will have the effect of cutting out an immense amount of uuimport . ant talk and enable the wires toaceom j modate tbo business more easily. The : view is taken that a patron, say in Danville, would rather pay a r> ason i able toll and get Shamokin when be wants it than to lave the radius free and to receive from central nearly j every time he rings the stereotj pe<i re ply that "the line is busy." The matter was brought to a test at Shamokin on Tuesday evening. The | Merchants' Protective Association which was at first inclined to take an unfavorable view, held a meeting at which after bearing the Company's side of the question it unanimously agreed to accept the T< b phone Com pany's proposition to give a better service. The following report of the meeting is from the Shamokin Daily Herald : I The Merchants' Protective Associa tion met last evening, with an unusu ally large attendance,as the absorbing tclephon* qui stion was to be consider ed. Present at the meeting .11 addi tion to the merchant- were F. D. Houck, Traffic Manager of the I'. T. T. Co., A. L. Lucas,sj eeial agent and H. N. Daniel-, superintendent of thi district. After routine business had been transact* d, the special comniittci ap pointed at a recent meeting to wait upon the I . T. T. Co. regarding the further elimination of any town- from the Shamokin free ra«lius. reported "that the e< mpaiiy had inf irmed tie 111 that they did not intend to cut any townsont without the approval of the merchants.'' I At this juncture Mr. Houck wa- ex '• tended the floor,to lav before the tin r i chants the < ompany's side of the ques -1 tion. He submitted the tdl wing ]>r< position: That all towns In cut from the free radios with the exception of Sunbury and Mt. Carnn l.and that the 'company guarantee thi- free radius to I all subscribers who desired to make new contract- for a period of :t, 5, or 10 years, as they may d> -ire; to guar antee a first class service within 30 days, and to connect -ever il hundred subscribers, who are waiting to !■< connect* <i. The present fret radius includes Ashland, Blooms burg, ('a taw is.-a, Dan vi lie, Girardville. Lewisburg, Mid diehnrg, Milton, Mt ('armel,Sunbury and Watsontown. In support of 111 i- proposition Mr. Houck made an addre-s admitting that at the present tune the service is much at fault, which he attributed to the large free radius causing a congestion of the lines. He then compared the rates of hi- com) any with that of th.i opposition and said that the United would give an exclusive wire service, unlimited for #.'"l p< r annum for re-id ence, and S3O for business, with use of all phones connected with the Sha mokin. Mt. Carniel and Sunbury ex changes. Connected with the above mention ed three exchange- are more than 1300 'phones, which, be added, far exceeds tiiaf of anv other company. Following the addr> -- the following resolutions were unanimously passed: "That the company's proposition be accepted, and that the association agree to the elimination after Nov. 1 of all towns from the free radius with the exception of Sunbuty and Mr. Car niel and to support tie I T.

Selections were also recited by Miss Vastiue and Miss Edna Hughes, both of whom won applause. Solos were sung by Walter Russell and Miss Madge Sanders, both efforts pleasing the audience very much. After the program was rendered re freshments consisting of ice cream, cake and candy, were served to the audience. One of the features not down on the program was the introduction of a large Hilly goat, which was led around through tlio audience much to the de light. ot the younger portion, who fancied they were beiug permitted to view goat, supposed to play such an exciting part in lodge in itiations. While waiting for his cue "Billy'' stood tied on the landing at the head of the stairs, where ho was half disposed to dispute the right of way with those who were so unfor tunate as to arrive late.

The newspaper columns bear reports of the death of several children in different localities, the result of burn ing leaves. The burning of leaves is a practice which should be prohibited. Besides throwing out offensive odors there is danger in more ways than one. If they are burned in the street, horses are liable to be frightened by the fire. Then there is danger from the flying sparks,not alone to the chil dren engaged in the sport, but to buildings if the wind l>e blowing. Th" best way to remove the leaves is to have them gathered in piles and hauled away. If they must be burned leave the work to an adult who will exercise caution and watch the fire until the last ember has died awav.

It was a very strange corner of tin world that she described, where a least in the home things are eurionsh reversed, the worn n working in tlx fiolds and the men presiding over tin household affairs, washing and ironing and even making the women's clothe' —where the parents are given no au thority over their children, the siste of the mother so far as having con trol of these is concerned being tin real mother.

They might all find work in tin gr-at continent of Africa, which i still practically all in darkness, wher the name of Jesus has never beei heard. The oft repeated statement that tin heathen is longing to be converted the speaker said, in her own expcri etice she found not to be strictly true The native African is coiiservative am he can only be won over to the relig ion of JeiUs Christ by patient devotei work and self-sicri lice. As a me lica worker it is equally difficult to ac complish any real good,owing to igmr auce and superstition.

From a festival once surrounded by ehaborato ancient rites and sacred observances, All Hal low Eve lias popularly come to mean a time when tho small boy iudulgcs in innumerable mad and merry pranks from tying up the doorknob to bobbing for apples, and when bachelors and maids test all the magic rites and mys tic symbols of this momentous night to discover what their fate will be. It is tho night when fairies dance, witches ride and ghosts walk, strange dreams foretell prosperity or a diver sity, and when lovers' dreams and divinations are most potent. Even in this advanced twentieth century, the same omens and tokens of the Hal low'eu of yore are tested and the very up-to-date young college woman is quite ready with the rest to fling aside dignity and learning and play at all the familiar tricks and charms and feel again little primeval thrills of terror course up and down her back as the hour grows ghostly. If you take a candle, go alone in a dark room at midnight and eat an ap ple before a looking-glass, the face of your future husband will appear over your shoulder and you can see his re flection in the glass. So they say. Another way to get a view of your husband or wife-to-be is togo to bed on Hallowe'en with a class of water in which a small sliver of wood has been placed, standing on a table by your bedside. In the night you will dream of falling from a bridge into a river, and of being rescued by your future husband whom you will see as distinctly as though viewed with wak ing eyes. Or, wet a shirt-sleeve, hang It up to the lire to dry and lie in bed watching it till midnight, when the apparitiofi of your future life-partner will come in and turn the Bleeve. An up-to-date Hallowe'en test is to hang up ribbons representing the var ious colleges. The girls aie blindfold ed and each picks out a ribbon, the colors of which will indicate the alma mater of the husbaud-to-be. This trick could be carried out with cards paint ed in water colors with the various college colors or names. Children born on Hallowe'en are said to be able to see and converse with fairies, witches and other super natural beings. Sir Walter Scott makes use of this idea in The Monastery. If on this evening you shako hands with a very blonde man you will have a proposal—but not necessarily from the blonde—before the bells shall have rung in the new yoar of lIJO4.l I JO4. If your lover should, under the potency of the magic evening, propose marriage on this night. 1-t him bind you at once by tying a blue iibbon upon your wedding ring finger, that both he and you may be true. It might be well when dressing for too evening to see that you have somewhere about your person the requisite bit of rib j bon. If yon are not quite decided in your mind as to which of two lovers you prefer, think of both just before you fall asleep and if you dream of one, your fate is decided. Just at midnight, and you must by 1 no means retire before that magic hour lonIon October 31st, listen tor tho sounds ! of bells from the nearest church steeple (if there are none in your neighbor hood you can't do this). Should you hear a full and distinct peal, begin on your trousseau ; but if there be a dull ! and muffled sound, possess your soul in patience for another year.

Reports from cities in the United States collated and embodied in a n - port to tho national convention of Master Horseshoers, held last week in St. Faul. showed the usual increase in tho use of horses and that tho demand for them is constant and without fluctuations, notwithstanding the talk that 'he automobile and electric wag ons and carriages were sending 'Dob bin" to the boneyard. The demand for good horses all over the country is as great as it was before the automobile came into use, and the prices are as high. While there is little doubt that the perfection of a cheap and durable storage battery, suitable tor all forms of trucking, would displace many horses in the larger cities, greatly simplifying tho problem of street cleaning, it is hardly probable this would have an appreciable effect upon the general demand for horses, or that it would discourage in any degree the breeding of high-priced horseflesh. It was asserted at one time the bicycle would have an effect on horses, in lessening demand for driving purposes Hut electric street railways ami rapid transit advance, saving in farming on demand toi horseflesh, though mach inery has no effect on the demand.

In that year William Montgoim ry bought a farm. Other purchasers followed and before the close of the eighteenth century all tho adjoining lands were taken up. For many years it will he seen tho old farm lay solitary and alone P moe from the beaten way in the deoth> ot the primitive forest.

The perils to which tli • lirst oc cupants of tho farm were exposed, their hardships, and the fears which darkened their lives can easily lie pictured. Peter Baldy owned the farm for a period of fifty-nine years. It was con tinuously in cultivation and after 129 years, thanks to good farming, it is still productive. As a matter of tact there is no better corn about than has grown the present year on Mr. farm, while the potato crop will num ber many hundred bushels. Dieting Invites Diseases.
