MONTOUR AMERICAN | FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., April 6, IWIS. Announcement. I hereby announce myself as a can didate lor (Joouty Commissioner, sub ject to the decision of the Republican County Convention OH AS. W. COOK, of Valley Township LOST IN THE AIR. Birds at Tlmr* Get Confused ami Loif Their Bearing*. Boys are frequently lost In the woods, and It U a singular fact that birds are sometimes lost in the air. This might Neiu strange to almost any one, but the average man is a superficial ob server of little things. In the far north, and particularly along the ocean coasts, birds are fre quently storm driven and lose their bearings, so that many of them are lost at sea. They keep floating In the air, aimlessly striving to live until exhaus tion compels them to drop into the ai gry waves, which engulf them. There is a well authenticated case on record of an ocean liner bringing Into New York on a winter's day a large white owl which had dropped to one of the forward spars In an exhausted condition more than 800 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. It was near ly dead from cold and hunger and al most too weak to eat anything. It had become much emaciated and trembled In its distress when It tried to swal low the first morsel of meat which was placed within Its beak. The captain and sailors were all interested in it, and under their nourishing care it •lowly recovered and became entirely well and healthy and strong. It will ingly remained with the ship after ward. It was evidently a land bird which bad been blown off from the coast of Newfoundland by strong west winds, bad become lost, merely drifted be fore the gaies, kept out of the water, almost starved to death and made Its last Intelligent effort to reach the ship and there fell In exhaustion and col lapse. Old sailors narrate many other In stances of finding birds that have been lost In the air.—St. Ix>uls Republic. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Do you always keep au appointment or Just claim to?

How tills great mass of In digestible material came to be swal lowed by the creature Is a mystery, and the suggestion that the fish caught In the tolls of a fisherman's net solved the problem of how to escape by de vouring his prison walls is not consid ered scientifically practicable.

Se>m<i I i- ■ ■ ■ =^i Hammond, strong, alert, silent, guid ed his dashing automobile in and out amid the crush of traffic. His compan ion was silent also, which fact might have disconcerted a less observant man than Hammond. He stopped the machine before a massive granite building and sprang to the sidewalk. Miss Markham watched him absently. He had said that he must stop at his office, but the waiting was not unwelcome to her. She liked to watch the great drays and heavy wagons and to observe the sights and sounds of this unfamiliar part of the city. Presently she noticed that nammoud had not entered the building, but was standing in the doorway, looking up | "BHAI.L WE LOOK FOR IT TOGETHER, ELIZABETH ?" and down the street as if watching for gome one. He caught her wandering glance and waved his hand, smiling brightly. Then he put both hands to his mouth, making a horn, and called something to her, which she could not hear above the roar of the street. "lie is like a boy," she thought and laughed in sympathy with his evident Joyousuess. "There is never any gloom or any uncertainty about him," adding sadly: "Men are so sure of themselves —and of one another. I wish—l wish I knew if he thinks only of my money, as all the others seem to do." Still watching his eager face, she knew that whatever he had been wait ing for was coming, and he pointed up the street and laughed again as he ran lightly down the steps. Two young Italians, a man and a woman, were making ready to play. The girl wore a rose wreath on her dark hair, and her eyes were filled with the light of love as she looked fondly In the face of her companion. The strains of the music came to Miss Markham in fitful snatches, mingled with the noises of the street. She saw liufi narrffnonn wns turoniinr as tr a symphony, and she wondered a little as to the meaning of the scene. She saw him place something in the girl's small brown hand, and then the man took off his cap with low obeisance and the girl courtesied prettily as Ha mond raised his hat politely and ma his way to the automobile. "What is it?" she questioned briefly as he took his seat. "Only the beautiful outcome of a lit tle romance that I have watched as it blossomed here amid the sordid rush of business." "They are lovers, these two?" fall ing in with his mood. "Yes. Wedded last night. Two mag nificent types of primitive humanity!" with the enthusiasm of artistic percep tion. They watched the two as they went down the street, each pushing the pi ano with one hand, while the other hands were clasped. "Will you tell me about them?" she asked as they reached a broad, quiet avenue away from the din and confu 6ion of the city. "Are you really Interested?" turning to look at her curiously. "Very much so. Please tell me." '"lhey are Antoine and Carita. They may have other names. These are all I know. I have watched them from my window all winter. He had u tiny fruit stand on the corner, and she was errand girl in a big millinery establish ment on the next street. I saw the first love glances, and I swear by Bun ker Hill they did not come from An toine." Miss Markham laughed softly. "I watched Carita passing and re passing, making several trips by the little stand for each errand. Then there would be days when she did not come at all, and Antoine's neck would have been safer in those days if it had really been made of rubber instead of the material provided by the Creator." Miss Markham smiled appreciatively. She could fancy the ardent Italian gaz ing up and down the street watching for his sweetheart. "Well, occasionally making pret&nse of an abnormal desire for bananas, I rushed out to the stand while she was still lingering there, and so I some times overheard a few sentences their soft Italian love worus sounding like bird notes in spring. Can't you fancy them building a nest somewhere of boughs and moss-they wouldn't re quire much more than the birds, you know and settling down like the birds to sing their love songs and rear their young?'' A new light shone in Miss Mark ham's clear eyes. "And this is the man whom the girls describe as a mere business automa ton," siie thought, but she only said Hammond's head swam for an in stant with a comprehension of the magnitude of what he meant to do, but f»e went, on steadily. "The day of the tornado—you remem ber It when the wind tore shutters from the houses and overthrew chim neys and groat liuibs were stripped from the trees as the small boy pulls leaves from a twig that day I wit nessed the downfall of the house of Buona— in other words, the complete destruction of Antoine's fruit stand and peanut cooker." Miss Markham sighed with quick sympathy. Hammond was uncon sciously giving the little story a dra matic turn. "Poor Antoine! He made one or two frantic endeavors to prevent the disas ter, and then, crushed by the misfor tune. lie ciung to the doorway of the office building and watched the gamins as they wildly scrambled for the scat' tered fruit." "And was everything qfctlrely ru ined'/'' .Miss .Markham's hand instinc tively sought her purse. "The peanut cooker lay in the mud. bent and twisted out of all semblance to its kiu<l Antoine picked It up with trembling hands uud then, realizing Its uselessness. replaced it In the gutter, while tlic tears streamed down his cheeks." "That isn't allV" expectantly. Hammond continued ot>ediently: " 'Never mind, Antoine,' I said cheer fully it's so easy to be cheerful over another's misfortunes, you know— 'you'll soon be on your feet again. We must <-xpecf reverses in business.' At my words of sympathy the flood gates of his grief were opened, and the words fairly tumbled over one another, his suit broken Kuglish finally relaps ing into Italian altogether as he told his story. He had been so careful of his money he had saved twenty-three 'dolla.' They Mere to have been mar ried tomorrow, he and Capita, and he was to have bought Carita a new gown and a rose wreath for her hair, and they would have been so happy! And now-then he pointed eloquently to the ruined peanut cooker, waved both bands in a gesture expressing the utter nothingness of his condition, and the ready tears cave again. "I missed him then for several weeks. The other day they came to gether and waited until 1 came out ♦'rom the office. 'Mv brudda— he die,' began Antoine cheerily as soon as I Joined them. 'An' leave Antoine sev enty-four d said Carita, her eyes big with the magnitude of the for tune. 'An' his business.' Antoine add ed pompously. 'Did he have a stand?' I asked him. 'So. a piano. We mar ry ourselves tonight. Thursday.'" Hammond paused abruptly. The ex pression on Miss Markham's patrician face was so unlike the usual air of po lite indifference that he was almost startled hit > the telling of his own story, forgetful of the Italian lovers. "That is nil," he added awkwardly. "And how did you know they would bo at your office this morning?" as if reluctant to leave the subject. "Antoine hunted me up last night— at the club. Said his wife—you should have seen his eyes when he said the word—his wife wanted to come and play for me tirst, believing it would bring them luck. 1 hadn't Intended to go downtoHvn this morning, as you know, but I thought that was really very little to do if it would add any thing to their happiness. Foolish things, aren't they?" He turned his head away. She would agree with this, of course, and he couldn't bear to have her do so. She put her hand lightly on his arm. '•No, they are not foolish. They are wise. They have found t*e greatest thing in the world. Those who win love need look no farther; thwe is noth ing more to have here. They w'no lose it lose everything. lie put his own strong hand over the smaller one resting on his arm. "Shall we look for it—together, Eliza beth ?" She looked hastily about—there was 110 one near; they were quite in the country now—and raisefl her beautiful face to his. "I think we have found it already," she whispered. A Very l.arK<* Mine. There was once in Cripple Creek an odd character named Burns. He was pn rvl(l »laroi^n tcr what his work, wore what used to be called a "Prince Albert." He struck a rich vein of ore and named that the Frince Albert. Being of a generous and convivial disposition, this lucky fellow was, of course, surrounded by many self seeking friends. When he and they were in their cups some of them, with an eye to the main chance, managed to wheedle out of Burns on one pretext or another a deed of a share in his mine. With royal prodi gality he scattered deeds about among his retainers and camp followers un til finally something had to be done, and the case was taken into court. One of the lawyers had Burns on the stand. "Now, Mr. Burns," said the lawyer, "will you please tell the court how you can explain your conduct? The evidence shows that you have deeded away twenty-nine twenty fourths of your mine. What have you to say to that?" "Well, sir," replied the witness, "you must remember, sir, that the Prince Albert is a very large mine." THE CHRYSANTHEMUM. The first chrysanthemum show was held in Norwich, England, in 1820. The Philadelphia Horticultural socie ty held the first chrysanthemum show In the United States In 1883. The first chrysanthemums brought to Europe were taken from China by skip pers of the tea trading ships. After the chrysanthemum Is potted leave it for a little time In the shade. Then give It all the sun that is possible. The chrysanthemum was Introduced into England 2<X) years ago from Chi na. It was grown first in Holland aft er Its emigration. The chrysanthemum is one of the easiest of garden flowers to grow, but it needs careful tending after It Is brought into the house in pots when the frost comes. The ( hntiße of « Name. How family names change in the course of many years Is Illustrated by the conversion of "Botevlle" into "Thynne." An English deed bearing date in the Hosing days of the fifteenth century shows three brothers then flourishing John Botevlle of Botevlle and Thomas and William Botevlle. The trio are distinguished from all oth er Boteviles by the explanation "of the Inne," or family residence, the title to which had come to their joint posses sion. John's grandson was known as Ralph Botevile of the Inne, from which the transition to Ralph Thynne is eaay. Ills descendants have been Thynnes ever since. Keeping t'l«ler.

McClure i > 6 Twombley had been watching with ■llent satisfaction the very artistic pmoke garlands he was reeling off his |>ost luncheon cigar. Suddenly his glance fell to the figure of the girl bending over a desk by the window. Evidently she was puzzled by the let ter he had given her to his father's Venezuelan representative. She shift ed her position to throw a better light on the book. Incidentally it brought her profile out sharply against the early afternoon sunlight. Twombley forgot all about the smoke wreaths. "By Jove," he said to himself, "that's a profile for the sculptor. I wonder where she sprang from and where the governor found her." "The governor,'' otherwise Thomas TwomJbley, Sr., had been called sud denly to London, and Thomas Twom bley, Jr., was spending his summer in the office instead of at Newport or on some friend's yacht, as was his usual custom. The summer nights in town were something of a revelation to the young man, who, despite his city birth, knew little of city life, so much had he traveled with his mother. The girl swung round to her desk, and the typewriter clicked Insistently. Tom laid down hia cigar and bent for ward, watching her curiously. It must be devilish hard to work like that when you know you were meant for better things, thought the young fel low, and the light of a strong resolu tion shone on his smooth, square cut face. "I wonder how she'd like to spend ■n evening as I do around town?" Then be paused uncertainly. Would ■he have the clothes to wear? He remembered the filmy, extravagant gowns he had seen at the casino the night before. Then he as quickly de cided that she'd look well no matter what she wore. He Btrolled across the room to draw down the shades Just a trifle. "Boastly hot, isn't it?" "Very warm," replied Miss Cairuth without looking up from her work. "If I owned the Stock Exchange or controlled big business Interests I'd •top everything short in hot weather." She looked up at him with a grave ■mile. "Then I'm afraid you couldn't own a yacht and a shooting box In the Adlrondacks." "TTiat's so. The wheels of commerce must grind on the year around, I sup pose." "And what a lot of poor people they grind down!" The girl spoke to her self rather than to him. "Oh, but the town's not so bad In summer," he said. "It's corking jolly if you know the right sort of people. I've had some good times the last few weeks." She looked at him almost pityingly, but h« did not notice It. "You know, there are the roofs and the gardens, and nearly all the fellows In town have their automobiles. Oh, lt'i not half bad." She did not answer, but resumed her writing He went back to his desk, but the Idea of giving her an evening out had become thoroughly Imbedded In his mind. Al>out 4 o'clock he rose " «dden determination. "Oh, a aaj, jiiss caiTUlb, lets knock off for the day." "Knock off?" she said wonderlngly. "I don't understand." "Let's take a trip around town." The girl swung around In her chair and looked at him in silent amazement. Twombley looked back at her with an engaging, boyish smile, and the faint flush which had come Into her face died down again. "I think we have been working pret ty faithfully since the governor went away, and we deserve a holiday. I'd be awfully much obliged to you if you'd have dinner with me tonight, and then we will go up on one of the roof gardens and see the show." A faint smile curved the girl's lips, and he felt encouraged. "It's awfully Jolly, don't you know, and If you have never seen that sort of thing you'd like it." "Oh, I understand," snid the girl— "you're going to give r.ie just n taste of the life you an;! your friends lead. Put It might make mo very dissatisfied with my surroundings, you know." Twombley found himself actually blinking at her. She put It so baldly. "Oh, I say, that's not fair. Just for tonight I think we might be jolly good pals and forget that my father pays your salary." The girl laughed. Twombley pulled down the lid of his desk with a snap. "Walt," said the girl; "you must sign these letters." "Oh, haug It,"he said, "I forgot." While he dispatched that w»rk the girl was closing up her own affairs fur the day, and when she took the letters from him and touched the bell for the office boy to carry them away he no ticed that she had her hat on and a neat pair of gloves were caught through the handle of her purse. "We'll have time for a spin In the pßrk before we goto dinner," he said. "I must go home first and change my frock." Ue looked her over critically. The Bhlrt waist suit was simple, but It had an air. He didn't feel quite so safe about the finery she might deem neces sary for evening wear. "Oh, don't bother," he said quickly. "You look very fit In that." She shook her head. "I must go home, because mother would worry, and I have no way of telephoning to her." Twombley saw that it was useless to * rgue the question. "When and where shall I call for you V" The girl flushed suddenly. "Oh, 1 will meet you at the park entrance. It's not far from our house, and I would much rather do that than give you the trouble of calling." "All right," said Twombley cheerful ly, and under his breath he added: "Ashamed of mamma and the little flat, I suppose. You can't exactly blame her when she's made something of herself." At 0 o'clock she met him at the park entrance, and Just for an instant Twombley felt actually dazzled. Her statuesque flKure was draped in some soft, billowy gray stuff He knew somehow that It took an artist to de sign and make such a dress. Her face was shaded by a picture hat of softest urn v i-MtTon Hooding pink roses. To Cure a Cold in One Day n Two Days.

With a thrill of satis faction he noticed that as they passed down the aisle between the lines of table; all eyes followed the slender gray figure and low murmurs of ap proval reached his ear. He wondered whether this was a twentieth century Cinderella, this graceful figure at his side, transformed by shimmering gray silk from the tailor made stenographer who had worked beside him for the past few weeks. She was perfectly self possessed, only a slight flush and a singularly bright light in her eyes showed that she was excited. All patronage died out of Twom bley's bearing. He was genuinely anx ious uow to please her. As for the girl, she displayed a knowledge of books, plays and pictures of the hour which astonished Twombley. Wonder fully adaptive creatures are the Ameri can girls, he decided. That must be the reason why it was so hard to tell whether a family had been born to money or born to make it. Before they re-entered the hansom to drive to the roMt" garden he had decided that money really didn't count after all. The roof garden seemed stupid and cheap. He looked at the girl at hia side, then at the occupants in the boxes around him; then he leaned toward her and whispered: get out of this. I know it's boring you. We'll go over to the Beauclaire for a bit of supper and hear the mondolin club play." She rose with evident relief, and they walked through tlie quiet side street to an odd, foreign 1-ioklng cafe on whose roof the mandolin and guitars tinkled limpidly. Here no lights blazed, for the moonlight flooded the scene. The girl leaned back restfully in her chair, and Twombley smoked in si lence, studying her profile the while. Somehow his father's brownstone man sion on the avenue seemed very far away, llis austere and critical mother faded into a vague background. It would not be any condescension on his part, he decided. They could silp away to Italy or Japan or some other far away place for the honeymoon, and the world would get through talking about it before they came back. A filmy cloud passed over the moon. The girl's hand, white and slender, lay on the table, temptingly close within his reach. He leaned forward impetu ously. "Hello, Twombley! What are you do ing In town at this season of the year?" Twombley scowled at the intruder; then his face cleared. "Hello, Davidson! When did you land?" The girl had made a move us If to rise; then she sank back In the chair, her face liite and set In the moon light. "I came in on the Lucania yesterday and thought I'd see something of little old New York before starting for"— lie had turned slightly toward Miss Carruth, and just then the moon slip ped from under the cloud, aud the clear light struck her face. "Helen!" He leaned heavily against the table. The girl's head was bent so low that he could not look Into her eyes. "Jack," she said softly, but not so softly that he missed either the word or the tender accent with which she lingered over his name. The.v had forgotten Twombley's ex istence. Now the newcomer pulled him self together. "I beg your pardon, old man, but Miss Carruth and I were once—very good—friends, and"— "I set 1 ," said V womb ley, rising, with U u . .. i i .n, i.uu ii ,i uU n ion* after Miss Carruth for a moment I'd like to have a chat with an artist friend I see burled behind a row of steins." Without so much as a "thank you" Davidson dropped into the vacant chair. "Helen, I've come back to look after you for always, and, dear, if you'll for give my selfishness I'll promise you can study sociology and found work ing girls' clubs and endow Industrial schools any tiling, so you will come to me." ******* Twombley had forgotten all about the artist friend. He was leaning over the parapet looking down on the flar ing street lamps. "And to think I patronized her and thought there was need of a secret honeymoon in Italy or Japan. Tom, my boy, you're a fool!" He glanced across the area of tables. The gray p'.c'ure hat and a stiff, white straw were close together. MotlifyliiK It. Uncle John—S • you don't like your teacher.

'VTr TWENTY YEARS' SLEEP. Itip Van Winkle*'* Cane May Have lh>en More Knot 'Mum Fiction. Even superficial students of folklore know that the tale of Hip Van Winkle, supposing that Irving really heard it in the old Dutch settlements along the Hudson, is by no means peculiar to that district, but Is found In some form or other all over the world. In other words, the idea that it is possible for a human being to survive In a state of unconsciousness for a very long time would seem to be either a universal fancy or to be founded on some actual experience. L>r. Lancereaux in the Paris Bulletin of the Academy of Medicine reports such an experience, the case of a wo man who actually did, so far as intelli gent consciousness was concerned, sleep almost exactly twenty years. The patient, of a neurotic and hyster ical family, had always been delicate and nervous. On May 151, 1883, she was severely frightened and fell into violent hysteria, which after twenty four hours passed into unconscious ness. In tills condition, interrupted ev ery month or six weeks by sudden con vulsive attacks, she lay until May 23, 1903, kept alive entirely by injections of nourishment. tin May 23 she was seized with hys teria similar to that at the beginning of her sleep, and the next day there was another convulsion. On May 2."> she began definitely to recover con sciousness and by the next day was able to speak intelligently of events before her sleep and could also remem ber from day today since her waking. Of happenings during her sleep, such as the drawing of some of her teeth, she knew nothing. On the evening of May 28 she died peacefully. The particular case is of interest chleliy to the medical profession, but the general fact of survival in uncon sciousness for a very long time shows how such tales as those of the Sleeping Beauty, the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus and Hip Van Winkle, to mention only the most familiar examples, could have originated from actual experience and observation. Very likely such cases oc curred more than once. "Truth is stranger than Action," runs the old saying. It Is undoubtedly more correct to say that fiction is merely en larged, reduced, distorted and other wise decorated fact and that without a fact within general knowledge from which to start tiction could not exist. It is entire';, safe to conjecture that at some prehistoric period, sleeping not out of doors, of co-use. but under shel ter, and for many weeks and probably months, if not years, there was a Hip Van Winkle.
