MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Dec. 8, 1904. STARTLED CARLYLE. Hon Charlra Godfrey I.eland Broosht the Cynic to HI" Senaea. Charles Godfrey Lelatid said thnt on his first meeting with Carlyle the wis* wan S1IOW«H1 himself In a somewhat cynical frame of miud, from which he was aroused only l>y a bit of whole some opposition. "And what kind of an American may you be—German or Irish or what.'" Carlyle asked. "Since it Interests you. Mr. Carlyle." replied I.eland, "to know the origin of my family i may say that I am de scended from Henry I.eland, a noted Puritan, who went to America in 1036. "I doubt whether any of your family have since been equal to your old l'uri tan great-grandfather," growled t'ar lyle, and this, combined with some Blurring remarks which he had pre viously thrown out in regard to Amer ica and her history, roused I.eland's spirit. "Mr. Carlyle," he said deliberately, "112 think that my brother, iletiry I.eland, who got the wound from which Ue died standing by my side In the war of the rebellion, was worth ten of my old Puritan ancestors At leust he died in a ten times better cause. And allow me to say, Mr. Carlyle, that I think in all matters of historical criti cism you are principally influenced by the merely melodramatic and theatric al." Carlyle looked utterly amazed and startled, though not at all angry. "Whot's thot ye say?" he cried In broad Scotch. Mr. I.eland repeated the remark. A grim smile as of admiration came over the stern old face. It was with a deeply reflective and not displeased air that he replied, still in Scotch. "Na. na. I'm nae thot," he said. And he dropped into a milder strain and made the interview an occasion to be treasured long in memory. AN ELECTION TRICK. Oar Sample of the Dodfri to Which The? Hraort In Knffland. Canou J. George Tetley tells the fol lowing story of the late Justice Den man, who in 180." ran for election at Tiverton, in England. He was adver tised to address the electors on a cer tain morning. In order to fulfill his engagement It was necessary for him to leave by the 0:15 express. He had taken the precaution of ordering a cab overnight and was quietly eating an early breakfast when attention was called to two or three men who seemed to be hanging about In the neighbor hood of his house. He thought little, however, of the matter, but presently sent his servant to put his luggage on the cab, which was due to arrive. The cab approached the door, but before the portmanteau could be located one of the mysterious strangers Jumped in and was driven rapidly away. And when this happened a second time It became evident that something very definite was intended. So Mr. Denman consulted his watch, and. di recting his luggage to be sent after him, he buttoned his coat and. calling to his aid all Ills old Cambridge train lng. took a bcc line for the station, lie met not one empty cab till too near the terminus to Le of any service to him. He dashed through the "booking of flee" onto the platform, seized the hau dle of a carriage door as the train was actually starting and fluug himself into a compartment. On arriving at Tiverton he found his eommittee inn state of extreme anx iety which gave place to astonishment and relief on his appearance, for the walls of the town were covered with placards warning the Liberal electors that their candidate would not keep his engagement to address them.

These Influences are very wide spread. To 'get on" is the great ob ject of every one, and to get on one must drop ns many refinements as pos sible. They "do not pay." This may •eem cynical, but it is unfortunately true. Cheek, push and cash are the three essentials to success, and if the last be lacking the two former are nec essary for Its getting. This Is all false, unworthy. It Is only the veneer of a butterfly cli.as. The aristocracy is one with the upper middle classes in its rejection of these Influences. Refinement Is not dead among us, but it is overshadowed. Sane and serious people are sickened by the frothy life that goes on about them.

It is quite impossible for any one who has not sojourned in the "Land of Regrets" to appreciate the Impor tant part played by crows In the dally life of the Anglo-Indian. India with out Its crows is unthinkable; It could only be likened to London without Its fogs. Wherever human beings have their abodes there are multitudes of corridae to be found, for the Indian crow Is an Inseparable appendage of town and village. Two species exist olde by side In India, the great black bird known to Anglo-Indians as the corby and the smaller gray necked spe cles Both birds lead lives of aimless vagabondage; both are scoundrels of the most pronounced type; both are sinners beyond redemption. I>ld the black crow exist alone It would be held up as the emblem of all that la evil aud mischievous. As things are, Its Iniquities pale Into insignificance be side those of its gray necked cousin. The very name of th« latter bird Is sufficient to raise the Ire of the right sous man. To call the arch villain of the bird world "the splendid" Is mere mockery of words. Jerdon, the famous Indian naturalist, "often regrets that such au Inappropriate specific name should have been applied to this spe cies, for It tends to bring Into ridicule among the unscleutlflc ths system of nomenclature." The Indian crow Is able to utilize arost things. A Calcutta bird has made Itself famous for sll time by constructing a nest of the wires used to secure the corks of soda water bot tles. Bombay is very Jealous of Cal cutta. aud the crows, of course, ape their betters The Bombay birds de termined not to be outdone by the Calcutta corvidae. Accordingly one of the former promptly built her nest of gold and silren spectacle frames stol en from Messrs. factory The value of the materials us«d In the construction of this nest was estimated at £2O. But crows will appropriate things for which they can have no possible use. They commit larceny for the love of the thing. The Indian crow is the incarnate spirit of mischief The bird will wantonly tear a leaf out of a bonk lying open on the table My gardener, adds Mr. De war, puts every morning fresh flowers In the vases This operation Is per formed on the veranda. One day the man was called away from his work for a couple of minutes. During Ws absence a crow swooped down and suc ceeded In taking a beakful of flowers and breaking the vase In which they were placed. A retired colonel of my acquaintance who lives In the Hlma layas Is a very enthusiastic gardener, and the crows are the bane of his life. They root up his choicest seedlings, sever the heads of his most superb flowers from the stalk and fly away with the little pieces of paper wHlch he places In cleft sticks to mark where seed have been sown. But It Is in towns that the iniquity of the crows reaches Its maximum. The Madras corvidae are a byword throughout the length and breadth of India. The hospital is their favorite playground. They are never so happy as when annoying the Inmates. They know at once when a person Is too 111 to move. The consequence is that It has been found necessary to have ma.de for all the tables wire covers which protect articles placed at the bedside from the ravages of the "treble dated birds." I have seen a Madras crow quietly helping itself to the contents of a basket which an old woman was carrying on her head. Tho bird wai of sufficient Intelligence to refrain from alighting on the basket. Had it done so Its presence would prob ably have been detected. It flapped along just above the top of the basket, keeping pace wtth the woman, and eo, unpercelved by her, made a meal off the conteuts. The knavish tricks of crows are by uo means confined to hu man beings. As Colonel Cunningham truly says, "Any animal pets are, of course, even more than inanimate ob jects, subject to their attentions, and unless In wholly Inaccessible places are constantly liable to have their food purloined aud their lives rendered a burden by persistent and ingenious per secution." 1 once possessed a grey hound which used to be fed In the gar den A maUjhad to stand over the dog while It was feeding; otherwise the crows would devour the greater portion of the meal Their plan of campaign was simple and effective. They soon learned the dog's feeding hour and as It drew near would take up a position on any convenient tree. The moment the greyhound began to eat a crow would swoop down and peck viciously at its tall. The dog wonld, of course, turn on the bird, and the others would seize this opportunity to snatch away some of the food. Tlie process would be repeated until the meal was over. Crows tease and annoy wild creatures with the same readiness that they wor ry domestic animals. They mob every strange blsd In ranch the same way as the fxmdoii street arab makes fun of any person in unusual attire.—lx>ng man's VlagHzlue. Sadden Want of Information.

"To think," she mused, "thai I should have come to this too poor to spend 5 cents for car I'arel If I could only get more music scholars! Then Bob could have the beefsteak ami the fruit he needs dear, patient liidwrt!" Time was when Fred erica Fechner's piano playing had won her many a so cial triumph, but that was before she had married the penniless Ilobert Ty ler, to begin life anew across the con tinent. Now that be was sick they hiul only the pittance her pupils brought her. Today Mrs. Tyler was very tired. No wonder she had sighed when the car had glided past her, and home was a mile away. Strains of Handel's "Har- Blacksmith" drew her iuside a music store. Music always rested her. A girl was playing upon a grand p!am> and several persons stood about. Mrs. .yler strolled their way. One rffier another took a turn at the instrument. The newcomer was too interested in the playing to question wherefore. Finally a man approached her, "It is your turn next," he said. She was about to explain his mis take when the humor of the situation appealed to her, and she was seized with a desire to carry out the joke. Ac cordingly she took her seat and began Paderewski's "Love Song." She did not know for what she was playing, but she vaguely felt that It was a test of some sort, and she threw her soul Into hc-r fingers. When she ended there was a little burst of applause, aud "something else" was called for. She responded with Liszt's "Schubert's Ser enade" and then with Chopin's "Cradle Song," A sheet of music was placed before her, and a lady came forward to sing. If there was one thing lu which Mrs. Tyler excelled It was in accompani ments, and now she did her best. The face of the man who had invited her to play was one broad smile as he in quired deferentially: "May I ask whom we have had the honor of hearing? You have distanced them all, my dear madam. The place Is easily yours." Mrs. Tyler looked at him in bewilder ment; then she laughed and explained. He explained too. She had unwittingly taken part in a trial of applicants for the double posi tion of accompanist for a singing mas ter and piano player for the music shop. A salary was named that left the little woman nearly dumb with surprise, so amply it tilted her present needs. She wanted to dance all the way home. Fatigue was forgotten. "I'm glad you didn't ride," remarked Robert Tyler whimsically. "Oh!" cried his wife, and the ex clamation was a thanksgiving. Youth's Companion. The Family Tree.

To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. e ™ry I HOW FORESTS GROW THERE ARE TWO GREAT TYPES, THE PURE AND MIXED. On«» of th«* Xnrrrloim Kn<« of Knitire In the Itnlnnrtnfc of Conrillionn Where Treen of Different llnblta Killer the StruKffle For Kitatrnre. The laws which govern the distribu tion of trees produce the two great fYpes, the pure and the mixed forest. The former is the result of local con ditions which trees of one kiud only j ran survive. In the North woods the balsam oc cupies the swamps, usually to the ex ; elusion of all competitors, since no | other of the native trees can thrive iu ' wet places. In the Black mils and I other parts of the middle west the ; small demands of the bull pine upon moisture enable it to form pure woods on u soil too dry to support other na tive trees. The jack pine of the New Jersey barrens and the long leaf pine of the southern states grow lu pure or nearly pure stands since they alone cau withstand the peculiar conditions of these regions. Where climate and soil are favorable to various trees we tlnd the mixed for | est, the number of Bpecies In mixture depending upon the suitability of the locality to forest growth. I'pon the hardwood flats of the Adi rondacks tke hard maple, the yellow birch and the beech are the only de ciduous trees able to withstand the se vere climate. In the southern Appa lachian forests, where the trees of the north and south meet under conditions favorable to both, we tlud more than 100 different kinds. The distribution of trees, therefore, 1 is the Joint result of local conditions aud of the individual and varying re -1 (julrements of the different species up on moisture, soil aud climate. The laws, however, which govern forest dls -1 tributlou are not identical with those ! which regulate the behavior of trees Ilu mixture. They do not explain why I each species, if undisturbed, maintains the same proportion in the mixed for est. Why does not the hard maple drive out its competitors in the Adirou daeks, the oak gain the upper hand in the forests of the southern Appala chians, the red flr exterminate the j western hemlock on the Pacific slope? Wherever a mixed forest occurs there is an unrelenting struggle going on. Let us see how the combatants are armed and why the representation I of each species remains unchanged. The more important of the character j lstics which affect the capacity of a j tr<-« to hold Its own in mixture with j trees of other kinds are Its demands upon light, its rate of growth and its ! power of reproduction. No two species require an equal amount of light, grow at the same rate or are identical in their capacity to reproduce themselves. The endowment of each, with habits i differing from those of Its neighbors, ; but with strength and weakness so balanced that all which occur In mix i ture enter the struggle for existence upon an equal footing, is one of the marvelous feats of nature. The red spruce of the North woods, ! through its ability to endure dense •hade, has been given the power to ! hold its own against faster growing j competitors, some of which exceed it greatly In their capacity to reproduce i themselves. The young spruces which j spring up here and there throughout the forest struggle along under the heavy crowns of the hard woods, where a tree making more insistent demands upon light could not survive, i in the forests of the southern Ap palachians the oak Is In many localities the characteristic tree. Growing rap i Idly and exceedingly hardy, it might be expected to increase steadily Its pro portion in the mixture. Tho equilibri um is maintained through the fact that the ouk can endure but little shade and that Its seed is heavy, limiting its reproduction to the Immediate vicinity of the parent tree. In the same region the yellow poplar and the chestnut, both trees which | grow rapidly and are capuble of endur j lag conaiderable shade, are controlled. | the one because much of Its seed is | barren, the other because many of the nuts are eaten by animals. And the red cedar, of slow growth aud sparse representation, is aided through the distribution of its seeds by birds, with their power to germinate unimpaired. The aspen, short lived and requiring much light, holds its own with longer lived and shade enduring trees because its downy seed Is produced In great quantities and Is scattered far and wide by the wind. The ash and the basswood, of rapid growth and bearing an abundance of seed, are withheld by strong demands upon light and by the •eed of a fresh and fertile soil. The red fir, equaled by few North American trees in rapidity of growth and other wise well equipped to gain the upper hand In its region. Is controlled through the usual failure of Its seed to germi nate except when accident has remov ! Ed the leaf litter and exposed the min eral soil. The study of trees as living, striving organisms In a world of their own lead% an almost human Interest in the forest. Kvery day spent in the woods will be the pleasanter for some Insight j gained into what Is going on within it, i and an earnest observer can gain } knowledge of practical value by an at tempt to discover the factors which control the occurrence of trees in mix ture.
