PARADE HAD
DESIRED EFFECT
The parade of the Shamokin Fire
Department on Monday evening, with
a view of enthusiug interest iu the
movement to increase the fire loan to
145,000, with which to erect two new
hobe houses, add a hook and ladder
truck, and otherwise thoroughly equip
the fire stations, proved to be one of
the most interest iug and novel features
the people of Shamokiu have witness
ed in many years. 'lt had the desired
effect as it carried by a majority of
about 300.
Tbe entire fire department, number
ing over six hundred men in full uni
form, paraded the principal streets,
marching to the music of five bands.
The streets all along the route of
parade were thronged witli people,
who cheered the gallant fire fighters
as they marched in open order.
Fire works of every description
lighted up the streets and enthusiasm
ran high. A notable feature of the oc
casion was that there was no rowdyism
and not a drunken man was in line.
Numerous banners bearing inscrip
tions setting forth the benetfis to be
derived from a better equipment,were
iu line. They were to the point and
carried conviction to the minds of all
who read them. The firo department
to a man knows the need of better
equipment for fighting fire and by the
interest they have taken in this move
ment, have proven themselves enter
prising citizens.
Action fleets Approval.
The comment of citizens on all sides
on the action Council took Friday
night on the awning question is very
favorable. It seems to be the general
wish of the public that the Mill street
merchants will follow the example of
the city authorities and promptly re
move the dingy wooden awnings that
obstruct the walks and darken the
stores.
A few merchants who do not seem
inolined to remove their awnings say
the son light ruins the goods in their
windows, causing anything of color to
fade. This slight drawback easily can
be overcome by cauvas awnings,which
can be raised, when not needed to shut
off the sun's glare, aud thus lighten
the stores instead of keeping them al
ways dark The cost of such awnings
is not great and would be fully met
by the improvement they would make
to the stores and to the street.
On Satorday the City Hall awning
was torn down. The appearance of
the building is improved and that in
no small measure. The street appears
mooh wider at the points where the
awnings so far have been removed.
THE CAR OF LIGHT
POLES ARRIVES
The car load of sixty-five municipal
light poles that was detained at Phil
adelphia several days, in order to make
necessary repairs to the car,arrived iu

resumed and as another car load is ex
pected to arrive in a day or two tiie
work will proceed without further de
lay

The Danville--Milton basket ball

that the contest was anything but a

of it would prove uninteresting. The

There was but one passenger to
nligbt at Snow 11111, on the Southern
Pacific road, and In the cattle and In
dian country, and that was Miss Bessie
Vaughn of Chicago. Her schoolmate,
Nettle Long, whose father joined and
managed tin* big Lou% rnitfh alkil who
was now living with him out In the
wilds, had written that a person would
meet Bessie at Snow 1111 l with a bnck
boanl and bring her safely to the
ranch. The "person"proved to be a
young man of twenty-live, dressed as
a cowboy, hut having rather a distin
guished look about hlin. While he
was hastening along the platform and
yet thirty feet away the girl acknowl
edged to herself that his features were
good and that his face showed charac
ter and ambition. Perhaps it was for
these reasons that, while be was cov
ering the other thirty feet, Miss Bessie
suddenly decided that he ought to be
snubbed.
"This Is Miss Vaughn of Chicago, I
presume?" he said as he lifted his hat
and smiled a welcome.
What right had he to presume? By
what right did he stnile a welcome and
oeem ready to shake hands? The girl
looked coldly at him and slightly nod
ded her head, and that was snub No. 1.
The young man took it so; but, though
he colored up, he did not lose his smile.
"You will give me your checks,
please, and I will put your trunks
aboard, and we will befcff."
There was a touch onluthority In his
tones that nettled the girl, and she
turned away and delivered up the
checks with her own hand. She would
also have loaded the trunks on the
vehicle if she had been strong enough.
Snub No. 2 had followed fast on tho
heels of snub No. 1.
"We have fifteen miles to drive, and
the road is rather rough," observed the
young man as they got seated.
No reply. Snub No. 3.
"I take it that you have never visit
ed this section before?" was remarked
after the silence had lasted for a mile.
"No."
"But I trust you will find novelty
and pleasure."
Miss Bessie looked straight ahead
j and shut her teeth hard. What was
It to one of Colonel Long's ldred men
! whether she enjoyed the west or not?
| The man was presumptuous, and she
I meant her silence to be another snub.
; Whether It was so takeu or not. It was
not more than five minutes before a
j voice which had a touch of the patfcrnal
| In it remarked:
"You don't look overwell, and a» cou
ple of months of this bracing atmos
! phere will d<> you a world of good."
"Sir. are yon a practicing physician?"
asked Miss Bessie as she turned to
look the young man square In theteyes.
"Well, no," he slowly replied.
"Then you need not bother to'take
charge of my health."
That was what the boys would have
called a settler, and It hung the >*ouug
man up for the next ten ruiriutes.
When he spoke again, however, it was
I as if nothing had happened.
I"It was on that hill over there)'' he
quietly said, as he pointed with his
whip, "that four of our men wera sur
rounded by fifty Indian warriors two
years ago."
Miss Bessie deliberately turnad to
look in the opposite direction, and she
felt that he was smiling as he con
tinued:
"One of the boy* was killed, butjthey
killed twelve Indians and held their
ground all day."
What was It to her whether o»e or
the whole four cowboys were killed?
Indeed she found herself almost ivlsh
lng that all had been wiped out. She
hadn't the slightest interest InS the
affair—not that day.
"And over there in that valley Is
where a drove of steers ran ovefl and
trampled the life out of two ofj our
men last spring. We didn't find
their boots."
Miss Bessie looked straight rthead
and made no reply.
"And you wouldn't believe,
you, that this insignificant creel we
are crossing was a mile wide un<l ten
feet deep last May? We lost a {thou
sand head of stock In that flood."
Still no reply. It was snub rafter
snub, and she meant to tire him out
Thl« time the silence lasted far fll'teen
minutes, and she It was who brofke It
at last The horses had shied at a
coyote dodging for cover and started
away on a tearing gallop. The yfaung
man kept them on the trail, but luade
not the slightest effort to check! the
pace. On the contrary, he butnmad a
popular air as they laid down to 'their
■ work. The visitor stood it as as
she could, and then turned ami ex
claimed:
"Can't you see that the horses! ars
runniug away?"
"I have seen it for some
he quietly replied.
"Then why don't you stop theijit?"
"1 will if you so wish, but a of
i a few miles won't hurt them anjl.*'
1 She did wish it from the bott<>m of
i her heart, for the vehicle was Jumping
like a goat, and It took both bands to
hold her hat on her head, but. she grit
ted her teeth and decided to be stttash
ed Into jam before she would pfefer
the request. The horses ran for three
or four miles and the® sobered duwn,
and the young girl felt that slw? had
snubbed the young man again l|yt not
| being afraid.
"Who Is that lutm you sent fai the
depot after meV" she asked of her
J schoolmate almost'before she had tak
i en off her hat
"Who? Why, that's Tom. l'Ujfor
mally introduce you some day."
i "You needntt mind. I founds \him
rather presumptuous mid had to/ (nub
him."
"Tom presumptuousV Why, hfftj the
j nicest"—
And then she suddenly skip|W*l to
pome other subjt-et, and Tom w for
! gotten till then- xt day, when hf was
bold enough to approach Miss Jtt'ssle
as she was ah-ne for a moment 1 and
ask:
"What sort of a gait do yoiiAffefer
In a horse a Irot or a lope? to
select one for you today."
•••i '■■■■: ■ ■ ■■■ v_ "*•
any trouble on my account," was the
reply, *nd Tom ought to have felt duly
crushed as he walked away
He was not seen again for four days,
duty having called lilni away. The two
girls rode out every day on ponies M
leoted for them, and it the fourth <*•
caslon something hap|>ened. The pony
ridden by Miss Bessie suddenly Itolt-l,
and when she found hnn beyond < on
trol she could only cling to the saddle
and hope he would tire him 4\
nfteT running a couple of mil* - But he
didn't. He kept a straight course and
a headlong gallop for tulle after mile,
aud the girl was thinking of throwing
herself from the saddle when a cow
pony rangtd up beside her, a hand
grasped her loose rein, and a voh-e said
in her ear:
"Keep your head. Miss Vaughn. I
could pull him down and end his run
here, but there Is need of even more
speed."
"W what Is It?" she asked as she
turned her heed and saw Tom beside
her.
"Indians! There are five or si* In
chaae of us, ana I am racing for that
hill with the rocks on it. Cling tightly,
and don't be afraid."
After a terrific race for another mile
both animals were suddenly pulled up,
and, dismounting and lifting the girl
from the saddle, Tom half pulled her
up the steep side of the hill to the
shelter of the rocks.
"We are all right now," he cheerful
ly said. "But you keep crouched down
till I have a little talk with these noble
red men."
The "talk" was his Winchester, and
before It was over he had killed one
and wounded another. Their loss, to
gether with the alarm of the firing,
pent the remaining Indians scurrying
away.
At the ranch hoiyje, after the story
had been told, Miss Bessie asked for
the second time:

IMPRESSING THIE~iINDIANS.

tntor*>d lledNklna,
Even as late as the year 1805 there
were Indians on the North American
continent who had never seen or heard
} a gun, had never seen tobacco smoke
and were capable of worshiping the
white men who controlled these won
ders. The Kev. A. G. Morice tells «>f
i some of the adventures of Simon Era
ser, who has stamped his name on
, Canada. Father Morice writes as fol-
I Iowa: "On landing at Lake Stuart Era
ser* a men, to Impress the natives with
a proper Idea of their wonderful re
j sources, tired a volley with their guns,
i whereupon the whole crowd of In
i dlans fell prostrate to the ground. To
' allay their fears and make friends to
1 bacco was offered them, which, on be
l Ing tasted, was found too bitter and
! thrown away. Then, to show Its use,
the crew lighted their pipes, and at
the sight of smoke Issuing from their
I mouths the people began to whisper
that they must come from the land of
ghosts, since they were still full of
| the flre wherewith they had been ere
i united. Pieces of soap were given to
the women, who, taking them to be
cakes of fat, set upon crunching them.

: bystanders. All these phenomena,
however, were soon explained away,

1 ! Magellan, practically tho first to cir
j cumnavigate the world, set out from
Spain In 1519 to find a western route
1 ! to the famous Moluccas, or Spice ls
: lands. Vague rumors of a pacific ocean
1 were scattered through Europe. To
! tent these Magellan, following the
1 i const of Bouth America. passed
» through tho strait which now bears
1 his name, formerly the strait of tho
Eleven Thousand Virgins, tossed all
the time on a most tempestuous sea.
' Emerging Into the broad waters on
the west, he sailed northwest for three
i months and twenty days on a placid,
t almost unruffled sen, which he chris
i tsned then and there Mar Pactflco, or
1 Pacific ocean, the name 1t will now
' forever bear. Notwithstanding its
» name typhoons In the west and else

path as any other to those who tempt
its vast expanse and comparative soli

Magellan himself fell In the Philip
pines, but the Vlrttorla came home to
1 tsll the tale. Drake was the first Eng
lishman to sail on its wide waters.—

Blades, In his Interesting volume.
' "The Enemies of Booka," has shown
that several very real bookworms are
undesirable tenants of old libraries,
and he has studied closely several
' specimens seut him and described their
ravages.
Two grubs in particular richly de
serve this name, the anobtuui, pertl
uax or erudltus and the oecophora.
1 The anoblum, a small, light colored,
brown bended grub, with a body like
thin Ivory or transparent wax, bears
a close resemblance to the white mag
gots of a Stlitou cheese. Working
with a pair of strong Jaws, like a ateel
bit, the grub begins at the wooden
boards and If allowed will perforate
the whole volume The oecophora.

possession of six legs. Is not unlike
the so calletl deathwatch.
M. Pelgnot asserts that he found
twenty-seven volumes In one row

but has himself sten two volumes so
treated, with tio fewer than 212 dU
