MINOR MUTTERS OMNTEREST A number of our exchanges are per turbed over the fact that the Montour County jail is empty. With the record of their own counties before them these editors can not understand how Bach things can be and imagine that somebody must be derelect. lhe Har risburg Telegraph" relieves itself as fellows: "Montour county people are proud because the jail at Danville is empty and has been in this deplorable coudi llon siuce the last term of court. Be cause of this the ovnical are wonder ing whether "Montour county people are unusually lawabidiDg or the au thorities very lax." Whether one or the other be true, the taxpayers of that county are being outrageously cheated What's a jail for if not to hold prisoners? What ait sheriffs and policemen for except to find somebody to put into jail? Are prison wardens and jailors and Judges and court officials to be maintained iu Idleness? We submit to the people of Montoui county that it is the business of theii Bhenff to get occapauts for that jail. Isn't there a tramp, or even a "sus picious" person in Montour.' Isn tit tiie duty of policemen and constables to bring in somebody to be tried foi something? How is the district at torney to make a living? Montour seems to be lost to all Bense of shame. Fill the jail at once." In reply the News would inform all inquirers that the taxpayers of Mon tour County are perfectly serene; an empty jail has no terrors for them Our policemeu and coDstables under stand their duty and the District At torney, who bears no evidence of a slim diet, up to the present lias not been heard to express any misgivings as,to the source of his living. « * * An attempt was made to operate the ferry yesterday for the accommodatioE of the public, but it had to be aban doned as impracticable, owing to the high 6tage of the river which mates ii still impossible to load and unload the flat boat. Several trips were made with Richard Hullihen.the new ferry man, in command. The strong cur rent enabled the flat boat to make rec ord breaking time iu its trips back wards and forwards. The best time made was four minute* in returning to the Dauville side from the South shore. The ferry boat is restored to its former condition with fall boards and iron railing replaced.

Circumstances extremely sad sur round the death of Charles W., tl>e young son of Engineer George W. Reefer, at the family residence, Sun bury, at half-past three o'clock Tues day morning. Death was caused bv concussion of the brain, from injuries accidentally sustained while Dlaying with his eld«r brother, several hours previous. About seven o'clock Monday even ing,the children were engaged in play at their home. During their pursuit of pleasure, the elder boy ran out of the door, quickly followed by his younger brother. Upon reaching the stone pavement, the elder boy stopped, and his brother ran into him, the force of the collis ion being sufficient to throw the younger boy violently to the 2l )!4V " ment, striking the left side of his head, near the temple, a heavy blow. The little victim was carried into the house, and Dr. Mary McKay Weuck was sent for. The doctor an swered the summous quickly and made an examination, discovering that the fall had produced concussion of the brain. Everything possible was done for the relief and recovery of the victim, but to no avail, death thwarting all effortß at the time stated. The child was aged (i years,s months aud 13 days. Being exceedingly bright, he was quite interesting and the neighborhood as well as the home of the family is shrouded in sorrow and sadness. Woman Burned to Death. Horrible and sickeuingin detail,was the tragic death of Mrs. ilaurer, a widow aged forty-eight years, at IK-r home along the Danville road on the outskirts of Northumberland at seven o'clock yesterday morning About six weeks ago, Mrs. Mauier's daughter, to whom she was devotedly attached,committed suicide by drown ing herself in the river. The loss of tier daughter woiried the woman great ly and she broke down in health. Tuesday night a few minutes before nine o'clock, she was seized with a chill. Going to the kitchen she fixed the fire in the cook stove, aud, draw lug up a chair, placed her feet in the oven. Falling asleep in this position her clothing caught fire, the flame, spreading rapidly before she became aroused. Frantically making unsuccessful ef forts to extinguish the flames, she ran into the yard, from where her piteous cries were heard by nearby neighbors. Although assistance arrived in less than a minute's time, the flames, fan ned to increased fury by the woman's rapid flight, completely enveloped her entire body, consuming all her cloth ing. An effort was made to save her by rolling her in pieces of carpet, but befoie this task wan accomplished, nearly her entire body was burned to a crisp,the wasted fish, in many places, falling from the bones in long strips. Carrying the victim into the house, everything possible was done to re lieve fier great suffering until the ar rival of Dr. C. E. Butter, who re mained all night in hopes of thwart ing death,but his work was for naught, the grim angel ending her terrible suffering at seven o'clocK yesterday morning. Funeral services will be held at the late home of tbe deceased on Friday morning at eight o'clock, Bev. Leidy officiating. The remains will be tak en to the Row church cemetery.

M. 1 Whitehead * When tlie First Ntational t>ank of Olivet was organised; capital sf>o,ooo. Aunt Mary HUliurd became a stock holder to the amount of $l(J,00O. She was a wealthy widow, pant middle age, and could have furnished the full amount had she so desired. The balance of the stock was taken by the business men of Olivet and farmers thereabouts, and indue time the bank opened for business. When the stockholders met to elect a board Of directors they figured on leaving Aunt Mary out. though she was one of the largest stockholders. She was a woman, they said, and she knew lit tle about business, and she should be well content to draw l*er dividends and leave the active management to men. "Don't make any mistake about me," cautioned Aunt Mary as she settled her bonnet on the back of her bead and stood up. "I've been doing busi ness ever since my husband died, flf teen years ago, and 1 think I've learn ed a thing or two, even about banking. 1 not only want to Is? a director, but I shall drop in here quite often to see how things are going " Aunt Mary was made a director. It was that or trouble. Then the five directors elected a president, secre tary and cashier, and four of them smiled paternally as the woman claim ed the honor of making the first de posit. The president was a newcomer In the town, but lie bad money and had been cashier of a bank in Buffalo. The secretary and cashier were old residents. The l-'irst National secured a large business at once, and as time passed on Aunt Mary dropped in occasionally to keep posted. People who thought she was old fashioned in her business notions or that her limit was selling butter and eggs had to acknowledge their mistake. She was quite up to date on finance, and she knew a good investment from a doubtful one as well as the president did. Things were being managed In good shape all around, and the bank was looking ahead to fair dividends at the end of the year, when Fan! Hazzard, nephew to Aunt Mary and a young man of twenty-two, appeared on the scene. That Is. be appeared at Aunt Mary's house, two miles out of town, for a visit of a month or two. As he "IF HE HAS HIS WAT ABOUT THINOB YOU'LL NEVEB MAKHY KITTIE." came from a good family and had Just finished at the university and was about to study for the law the harsh est critic could have found little fault with him in that regard. Aunt Mary let it be known that he was the upple of her eye and her heir as well. It wasn't the fact that Paul came to visit his aunt that shook the First National to its foundations later, but that he promptly met and fell In love with Kittie Leslie, daughter of the bank's president. It so happened that his own aunt made the Introduction In the directors' room of the bank, intro ducing him to the father at the same time, and so the young man found himself properly vouched for. Mr. Les lie appeared to look upon him with favor, and Kittle was well liked by Aunt Mary, and thus the love match started off well. In a month there was an understanding between the two. Trees, shrubs and burdocks grow fast er In a country town than In a big city, and perhaps love does the same. Gossip had It that It was all settled between Paul and Kittle when the girl's father stepped Into unsettle things. He had no objections to Paul on general principles, but he had other views regarding Kittle. In fact, ho was planning a certain combination of love and finance. He had his eyes and ears open, and when he thought the flirtation had gone far enough he put his parental foot down. He had a talk with Paul, ne was very nice about It, but also very Arm. "So Mr. Leslie thinks you are not good enough for his daughter, eh?" Aunt Mary queried when the news had been broken. "Well, this is not strict ly banking business, but I shall drop In tomorrow and have a few words with him. Seems to me his head Is getting too big for his hat." Aunt Mary dropped In and had a talk. Mr Leslie was suave, but be didn't want Paul Hazzard for a son-in law He said all sorts of good things as an offset, but he was firm on that one point. It wasn't policy for him to antagonize one of the largest stock holders in the bank, and he tried his best to smooth over things and send Aunt Mary away In a friendly spirit. "Well, I've seen him," she remarked on returning home. "If he has his way about things you'll never marry Kit tle." Paul groaned. "Put he won't have his way," she continued "On the contrary, I'll have mine. You and Kittie be patient for a few weeks and there'll either lie a mar rlaire or your Aunt Mary will admit that she doesn't know rabbits from woodchiii k - " The Rliares of!!.<• First National were R I P- A N S Tabuls Doctors find A good prescription For Mankind, The 5-ceut packet is enough for usual occasions.

That! very day Aunt Mary began hunting up J the small stockholders, buying stock j and pledging them to secrecy. She paid fifteen, twenty and twenty-live bonus, ! but she got what she was after. In a j month she had a controlling interest, and the stock was duly transferred on the books. There was considerable spec ulation as to what was up, but no one surmised the truth until the first annu al meeting came around. Aunt Mary was present, and It was noticed that her Jaw was set. "We will now vote to elect a board of directors," softly announced the secre- i tary when the meeting had been called to order. Aunt Mary had a ticket of her own to vote, and she speedily voted the old board out. In answer to their looks of consternation she said: 'This afternoon the directors will elect officers. I shall be president and my nephew cashier." "But, my dear Mrs. Ilillinrd"— began Mr. Leslie. "I am within my legal rights, sir," she Interrupted. "I have never run a bank yet, but I think I can do so. That | is, I shall do so unless"— The pause was dramatic. All had a suspicion of what was wrong, and Mr. Leslie knew that he was in a trap. "Unless what?" he finally asked, with a rather pale face. "Unless my nephew should get mar ried soon. In that case he would not want to act as cashier. Did any one move to adjourn?" No one had. In fact, no one wanted to adjourn until things had been set tled. "I think your nephew had better get married," observed Mr. Leslie as he startkl into vacancy. "Very soon?" queried Aunt Mary. "I think Kittle will be ready within a month." "Well, if that's your opinion, I'm quite agreeable. Would it be against the law to hold a new election for di rectors?" "You seem to be the law yourself." "Then I'll call a new meeting and cast my votes for the old board, and as a director I vote to re-elect the old executive board. I have a little more stock than I want, and if any of you hear of anybody who wants a few hundred at sllO please send them to me." The Doctor Hail t«» Cio. A physician In south Baltimore, hav- i lng decided that a flagpole on his house 1 would add to its good appearance, em ployed a man to rig the stulf to his roof. This man had for his assistant a six foot negro Imbued with all the superstitions of his race. The big staff had been hoisted to the roof and was nearly in place when the negro happened to glance down at the crowd that had collected in the street to view the work. The physician, desiring to see how the work of setting up the pole was progressing, had gone to the opposite corner to see the work, when the negro saw him. The crowd saw the darky stop working and say something to his employer. Then the negro left the roof, and the work was postponed. The negro had said: "Look, boss; dere's dat doctor down dare lookin' fo' a job. I knows I's agwlne to fall off dls roof, and dat man'll cut me tip. 'Deed, I ain't agwine to strike another lick o' work while dat man's down dere." Baltimore Sun Hon Glaaw Drailn \re Mniif.

Some women are accompanied by maids to club conventions and occa slonally by children, but almost never by husbands. The American husband fills his wife's purse, gives her a cheek book for emergencies, bids her a proud "Au revolr" at partings and is con tent to read of her speeches and her gowns and perhaps to see her picture In the sensational newspapers while Bhe Is away. Usually the husband of a woman of prominence In these mat ters is a hardworking individual, him self having neither the courage, the parts nor the liking for public demon strations.

He is a pretty poor sort of man who loses courage and fears to face the world Just because he has made a mis take or a slip somewhere, because his business has failed, because his prop erty has been swept away by some gen eral disaster or because of other trou ble impossible for him to avert. This is the test of your manhood. How much is there left lu you after you have lost everything outside of yourself? If you lie down now, throw up your hands and acknowledge your self worsted there is Jiot much In you. Rut if with heart undaunted and face turned forward you refuse to give up or to lose faith in yourself, If you scorn to beat a retreat, you will show that the man left in you is bigger than your loss, greater than your cross and larger than any defeat. "1 know no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind," said Emerson, "as that tenacity of pur pose which, through all changes of companions or parties or fortunes, changes never, hates no Jot of heart or hope, but wearies out opposition and arrives at its port." It is men like Ulysses S. Grant, who, whether in the conflict of opposing ar mies on the battlefield or in the wear and tear of civic strife, fighting against reverses, battling for a competence for his loved ones, even while the hand of death lay chill upon him, "bates no Jot of heart or hope," that wring victory from the most forbidding circum stances. It is men like Napoleon, who refuse to recognize defeat, who declare that "impossible" Is not in their vocab ularies, that accomplish things.—Suc cess. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. It Is well to take time in thinking be fore making accusations. A woman who can use her eyes with effect is a dangerous rival. Women take fright easily over a lov er's compliments to another of the fair sex. There is a species of treason in carry ing water on both shoulders in a love affair. In every man there is a disposition to do the grand where women are con cerned. It hurts a woman's pride to have an other woman share with her a man's attention. When one man sneers at another it Is fair to presume jealousy is at the bot tom of it. When a man regards himself as ir resistible it is time to do some quiet i thinking and self abnegation.—Philudel -1 phia Bulletin. ■ C'orrefgjt lo mid III* Life.

Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys* Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood, All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter' out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidr.ey poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized.
