Both ad dresses were of a practical character aud were heard with the closest atten tion. The illustrations employed aud the incidents related were very im pressive. .

The • •tendance was very creditable, al though a goodly number from the neighborhood tiad interest at court iu Dauvilld. Two hack loads went from Danville to the convention, one being made up from the members of the First Baptist church. It is needless to sav that the entertainment of dele gates and visitors at the homes of the people was more than generous. For the 1906 convention, St. John's Reformed church, Mausdale, was rec ommended by the Committee. There Is more Catarrh in thlssertlonof tha ountry than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be ncurable.oFor a (treat many years doctors pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed ocal remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced It in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by K. .1. Cheney & Co.

Curry who during the past summer cultivated the lot at the lower end of West Mahoning street i was yesterday engaged iu storing away the crop of ouious which lie J raised. The lot comprises one and a half acres. The growing crop preseut- > ed a very interesting appearance dur iug the summer. Mr. Curry was very i proud of Ins ouious aui gave them close attentiou As they approached maturity there were a good many con jectures as to what the yield would be. Tiie guesses varied considerably! All will be interested to know that i the exact yield is five hundred aud > thirty three bushels. All of which > shows that Mr. Curry although the ae- ( tive years of his life have been given > to other pursuits is nevertheless some [ thing of a truckman aud might be able to give practical gardeners a few pointers. For the benefit of those who may > wonder what there is iu Mr. Curry's > crop we will state that at the present time onions are retailing at the rate ' of one dollar per bushel « « n W. H.

Railway east of the station will be g completed in a few days' time. Yes -0 terday afternoon work was begun on s concreting the top of the eastern and . the last of the two culverts. The B doublo box culvert as it approaches completion begins to show op as the g finest piece of concrete work ever cou . strncted iu this section. 2 Not only are the walls of the double culvert of concrete but the roof of each division is of the same material. r First of all the top was covered with 0 railroad iion, twenty-eight feet long, s It required just 103 of such rails patal- J lei with the direction of the track aud D about a foot apart to reach from the n nortlieru to the southern eud of the s culveit. A form is constructed under 11 the lails on which the concrete is e built. The latter attains only a foot a or so of thickness aud as it solidifies s re-enforced by the railroad irou,which ' is entirely concealed, it becomes cap s able of sustaining almost any weight. The structure described will have almost a mountain to support. The top of the culvert is only some twelve feet from the ground. All the rest of the big washout to the track overhead will have to be filled up. Some idea of the gap to be filled can be obtained r] by reflecting that the length of the 3 double culvert, which forms the base of the embaukment, is just 133 feet. From this width at the bottom the embankment built up will taper to the t width of a siugle track on top. Engineer Yetter of Catawissa who planned the culvert estimates that it will require five hundred car loads of j slate and coal dirt to complete the job. all of which will be shipped here from the coal regions. Smith & Campion of Mahanoy City yesterday stated that they expect to s be off the ground by this time next week. SNICKSHINNY WRECK WAS VERY COSTLY u It is estimated that the wreck on the Lackawanna at Hunlock's Oreefe, last week, cost the railroad company at leats 150,000 in equipment alone. With the settlements already made j with some of those wtiowere hurt and the probable damage suits of others, because of injuries or death, the dis aster will be an exceedingly costly one. 112 The equipment totally destroyed was two engines with their coal tenders, an express car and baggage car. One 1 end of the smoking car was torn away, its interior badlv smashed The re maining coach is also in had condition , inside. The whole pile of twisted iron j and broken wood will, it is expected, bring about |l,ooo, as junk, thus an idea of the expensiveness of a wreck can be conjectured.

CONCERNING PARKINSON By THOMAS (~ FESSENDEN Copyright, by 1%. S. McClure There was nothing brilliant about Parkinson. Indeed, his mental proc j esses were decidedly slow. He was the sort of man who would listen to a capital story with the face of a graven image, mull over It the rest of the even ing. and perhaps at midnight, when ! quite alone, lie would discover the point and ha-ha uproariously. Withal, Par kinson was a man to be depended i upon. You always knew where to And i j him. You were sure that what he said he meant aud that what he meant he would stick to through thick uud thin. I lie was tall, broad of shoulder, and his homely l'ace radiated good nature. Although the bulk of the great Parkin sou fortune was his, he sat daily before | a desk In the office of Thorpe & Toll- i l man. The fact that a fellow had a little money did not render him exempt from honest work, said Parkinson, and this was why the foreign accounts of Thorpe A: Tollman were kept In Ills round, boyish handwriting and also 1 why Parkinson received sls at noon 1 every Saturday, which sum, be It stat ed, did not cover the cost of his lunches and cigars. Now. when It came time for Parkin son to fall In love, he did it as he did everything else—slowly, methodically, with a painstaking regard for detail. The young woman about whom he finally found his affections centering - another man would have made the dis covery fully six months earlier than did Farkinson —was a certain Miss Margery Reeves, a Joyous, happy, ra diant creature, whom Parkinson wor shiped with all the tenacity of his stolid nature. Miss Reeves regarded Parkinson as a big. good natured, brotherly fellow, a trifle slow and obtuse at times, but always the most dependable of her satellites. The exact nature of her at titude toward him Parkinson did not discover until one afternoon when they rii fr" "LOOK IIEKK, TOM, YOr'VE GOT TO MAKE UJOt HAPPY." sat together beneath the walnut trees at the farther bunker of the Country club links. It was one of those hazy afternoons which beget confidences. Miss Reeves herself could not have told how the conversation led up to it, but before she was really aware of what she was doing she was telling Parkinson all about it and Parkinson was listening with grave sympathy. She told the whole bitter story—her engagement to Tom Marshall, the quar rel which had broken It off and even the ugly rumors which had come to her ears concerning Marshall's down hill course since that time, and ns sho finished there were ten rs iu her eyes and a strange little quaver In her voice. Parkinson was tremendously Im- lie had never seen her In a serious mood before. He sat quite still for a long time, staring thoughtfully at the walnut leaves above his head, stir ring Indolently in the breeze. Then ho smihsi his slow, enigmatic smile. "Don't you think It's too hot to play the rest of the course?" he asked, and, helping her to her feet, he suggested that they go back to the clubhouse for tea. They went back In silence. Once or twice she glanced at Parkinson curl ously. There was still a smile on his face, but It was a very strange smile. It seemed to mask something going on tn his mind. The following Monday Parkinson ob tained a leave of absence from the of flee and went to Boston. The latest reports had located Tom Marshall there. It was several days before Parkinson found him In an obscure little hotel. Marshall was looking seedy, and there were unmistakable marks of dissipation on his handsome face. "Park," he cried as Parkinson enter ed the dingy room where Marshall In his shirt sleeves was sorting out bunch es of lottery tickets. "It's good old Park, as I live! What brings you here, old chap?" Parkinson sat down on a rickety chair. The room was small and hot. Moreover, he had Just climbed slz long flights of stairs. He looked rather Ured and wilted. "Look here, Tom," he said abruptly, "you'd better cut this out and come Lome with liie." Marshall laughed unpleasantly. "Like this. Park? I guess not. Home's no place for me just yet "Yes it is," said Parkinson, with un wonted sharpness, "Listen to me, Tom. There's a gi;i over there ihat s got to be happy at a:..* <• "\ lie paus ed to mop his face lie reminded Mar shall of some great wounded animal. There was something like pain in his eyes. "And you've got to make her happy," lie went on. "Do you hear? It's up to you. You needn't worry about money. I can tlx you up in that line until you can get on yniir feet kgalu. But you've got to gu ; ; requested him to call at the house as j soon as possible. Was she angry be- j cause he had found Tom Marshall and brought him back, or did she merely wish to thank him for his efforts In that Hue? He had not seen her since that afternoon at thedinks. The thought of seeing her now cut him sharply. 1 The end, so far as he was concerned, had come that day beneath the walnut trees by the farther bunker when he had seen the tears in her eyes, the j tears that had not l»een for him, but for Tom Marsha.f He waited for her in the big dim hall. She came down the wftlt* stairs dressed in white, her eyes sbfnlng. There was a radiant happiness In her face that hurt him strangely. "Oh, how can I ever thank you for j what you have done?" she cried. "It really wasn't anything," Parkin sou mumbled. "Wasn't It anything to find Tom Mar shall and bring htm back? Wasn't that anything to you?" she asked. "Yes, it was something," he admitted lamely. Confound that lump in his throat! "You dear, unselfish, stupid fellow!" she laughed. "What do you suppose Tom told me?" He shook his head miserably. "He said he came back to make me understand that the one man In the world who was everything I had hoped of him and which he was not was— you!" "Pkl he say that?" asked Farklnson Incredulously. "He did," she declared, "and I told him"—-her eyes fell demurely—"that he wasted his time and his car fare, be cause I had found that out long ago." And then Parkinson well, even a stupid man sometimes acts on impulse. A (iallnnt Quixote. Northerners have got so accustomed to the curt demands of street railway employees to "Step lively" and "Move up front" that the phrases have lost much of their harshness. Crowded traffic requires that men and women should step lively for their own good In order that the cars may make schedule time. In the south, where the stress of life is not so rude and the fine natural courtesy of the southerner hau leisure to flourish, the manners of an employee of a northern street railway would not be tolerated; hence a refreshing Itttlo scene recorded in the Outlook. An inexperienced middle aged south erner mounted the platform of a car in a northern city. The conductor, not dreaming of harm, had just propelled a fair looking woman into the crowded Interior with the customary push and the words, "Step lively!" The southerner took the center of the situation by saying to him In an intense voice: "You dare lay your hands upon un- j other lady and I'll knock you off the ' car!" The faces of the downtrodden race of passengers lighted up. The con- | ductor stared, then realized the sltua- j tlon. As long us the southerner rode on the platform the amenities of life : were observed. It was Don Quixote against the wind mills of stress and struggle and busi ness hurry, but nowadays America needs Don Quixote In a good many | places. I'ontofflce Myaterifn. The clerks In the foreign branch of the postofflce in New York, says the j Epworth Herald, have many amusing episodes to tell. One day a modest 5 young man, after Inspecting the mall slots marked "Foreign," "City" and "Domestic," approached the clerk at the window. "Where do you mail letters V" he asked. 1 Ascertaining that the letter was for city delivery, the clerk told the man to drop It In tho slot marked "City." j The modest man went over, read tho Inscriptions and came back to the win dow with the letter still in his hand. "Well, did you mail it?" inquired the clerk. "No," replied the man."l don't ' know what to do. You see. It's this way: She lives In the city, but she Is * foreigner and a domestic." On the same day a man approached the window and, thrusting In a money order, asked for the cash. The clerk, after inspecting it, handed It back, re marking: "We don't cash these here. This Is the foreign branch." The man leaned over and said con fidentially: "I know this is the foreign branch. That's why I came here. That order Is from my father in law In On clnnatl, and"—lowering his voice—"he Is a foreigner." STAMMERING. The Cur* That On» Sufferer Invented May Help Otbera. Among the minor arts of great Im portance is the self cure of stammer ing. which comes upon so many In early youth. In the memoir of the author of "John Inglesant," which bla widow prepared, we read a rather touching confession. "I contracted the habit of stammering," wrote Mr. Short house to Lady Welby, "as a delicate little boy of three at a large day school. It was not such a misfortune as might be supposed. For without this thorn in the flesh 'John Inglesant* would never have been written or conceived, and much which is very dear to me in philosophy would have been un known." Few stammerers can bring forth a classic from their affliction, and some would even refrise the au thor's fame at the price of the speak er's embarrassments. In many cases the self cure of stam mering la easy. The present writer was a sufferer wheu a boy at a day school. He set himself to Invent the cure. It was absolutely necessary, be found, that the opening syllable of a sentence should be said several times before the sentence was under way (Just as the billiard player waggles his cue before the correct stroke). It oc curred that the stammering might be done silently. So that little boy stam mered firmly to himself with tightly closed lips, imagining himself to be speaking. It was easy enough, when | the requisite number of "tut-tut-tuts" or "guggug gugs" had been achieved j in silence to start the sentence. Since j then he has never stammered—aloud.— j London Chronicle. has been computen mat it toe ' leaves of an elm tree sixty feet high j were sp 'end out on the ground edge to | edge thev would cover five acres of j land.

Jerry had tried thieving, burglary and lomery and had served sentences for all of them and after thinking things over li.itl concluded to make a change. Reform was not in cluded in the change. Jerry strongly believed that the world owed him a living and that it was his constitutional privilege lo get that living in the easi est w:ij possible, lie would keep right on thinking so, but he would adopt a i ii"w .in I safer line. "Am.Suction is the thing!" exclaimed J'-rr;, to his prison walls when he had thought the matter all out. "There's more c!e«n cash to be made in abduct ing some rieh man's gal than in commit ting half a <1 « en burglaries,and the risk is a mere noihing. All you have to do is to se y.e her, shut her up somewhere till the fond 112: I her will pay your price and then pn.dt:- e her and lug away the plunks —no publicity, no police, no prison walls. The rest of the crowd can go ahead on old lines, but it's ab duction for it e for the rest of my nat ural life." Jerry hadn't been out of prison two days when lie hunted up his old part ner. Mike Donovan, and gave him the tip. Mike. too. was ready to drop old lines and fake up something new. He had sh iwn energy and ambition as a burglar and had somewhat astonished the police by stealing a steam boiler left on the public street at night, but had found there was no money in it. He had figured it out that the beef trust was making more in three sec onds that he was in three years, and if he hadn't met Jerry he might have opened a saloon and sold wood alcohol to his patrol s. The first thing was to find a rich man with a daughter. No rich man's daugh ter can be abducted properly until aft 'er she has been located.

As Jerry finished his talk the girl broke int i laughter and kept it up for five minutes. She laughed in half a dozen keys, and there was sarcasm as well as humor in her tones.

Vaturc'M Ilent Tonic. Laughter is undoubtedly one of na ture's greatest tonics. It brings the dis ordered faculties and functions into harmony; it it bricates the mental bear | ings and prevents the friction which monotonous. v.acting business engen ders. It is a tii ine gift bestowed upon us as a life nreserver, health promoter, a joy generator, a success maker. Life with the average American is too seri ous at bes:. Never lose an opportunity for relaxation from the stress and strain of your business or profession. Kvery draft of laughter, like an air i cushion, eases you over the jolts and j the hard places on life's highway. Laughter is always healthy. It tends to bring every abnormal condition back to the normal. It is a panacea for heartaches for life's bruises. It is a life prolonger.
