MINOR MATTERS |
OF INTEREST
Thomas C. 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

e Fine Piece to Concrete Work.
j The double box culvert on the P. &
3 R. 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

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

With the settlements already made

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

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 ; <!• with
me anyway. She she want.- .\"U to
come back. How do I Ln< • \\ ell, I
know, and that's enough
Marshall tossed the lottery tickets
onto the bed and turned to the other
man with sudden comprehension.
"Park." he said gently, "you're a
queer oi brick \ es, I'll go back with
you, if you s:iy so. Tonigft*? All right,
then, tonight it is."
The me-seiiger came with Margery
Reeves' note just as Parkinson was
leaving the office. He hailed the first
cub and drove uptown, his uiiud a
T <■ nuie" was uo'neommittal. If rner%r> ;
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

I .sentence. 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

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.

-we in tne oia nouse with
out an alarm having been given.
Jerry, Mike and Tommy agreed that
it was a most skillful piece of work.
I'rue, the abducted had bitten Jerry's
thumb half off when he seized her, and
she had kicked the shins and scratched
the faces of the other two during the
ride, bib that only meant an additional
ransom. Her father would have to pay
fS.oon extra for that.
When the retreat was reached the
handkerchief over the girl's mouth was
east loose* a caudle lighted, and she
was put on exhibition.
Somewhat to the surprise of the ab
ductors she began to swear, and every
slang word used anywhere for the last
ten years rolled off her tongue. When
she was obliged to pause for breath
the trio retired into a corner to hold a
consultation.
"1 never kuowed that rich men's
(laugh,er. talked that way," admitted
Jerry, wi h serious countenance.
"Nor I," added Mike, "but there can't
be no mistake She had just come out
yf the gate when we seized her."
I liunno why rich men's gals
shouldn't i u-s and slang wheu they get
mad same a> any others," mused Tom
my. "As soon a> she gets over it she'll
put on her ari toeratic airs and fall at
our feet and be ready to write a letter
to her p.t. I've g>t one ready for her
to i. it sa;. -. 'Deer pa, I am
bein' ii'-id l'.>r fifty thousand plunks.
If you ever want to see your darlin'
agin give up the dough to the barer of
this.' "
"Now. then, cullies, what is it?"
a.-ked the girl as their consultation was
ended.
"In the lirst place," answered Jerry,
who constituted himself as spokesman,
"you have bean abducted."
"And what's that, you rat headed
peanut stealer':"
"You have been tookeu from your
rich fatin rand are to be held here un
til he comes down with the cash."
"Ilnily gee!"
"You will write him that you have
be a w hat they calls abducted, but
that y hi are in the hands of gentlemen
wh » are treating you kindly."
"It's bewtiful, cully. Goon!"
"'Hem same gentlemen, wantin* to
take a trip among the aristocracy of
ling!. i; i. but bavin' no money, will
hold y at ti!i he comes down with $50,-
000. If it's all the same to him we'd
like ihe money in $o and $lO bills."
"Oh. Abraham!" chuckled the girl.
"And in wrilin' the letter you may
add that your couch is not downy and
your food not lobster salad and that
if voi r iiid man gets a hustle on bim it
will be just as well for you and better
for the gents as has carried along the
job. That's all, I believe, just at pres
ent.e-.-ept that we are slightly astonish
ed that you should have picked up such
language in a drawin' room. The let
ter will not be writ till mornin', and
meanwhile you can stand up in a cor
nel- and goto sleep feelin' as safe as if
in your little bed at home."
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. Then
she tig a verse of a topical song.
Then she screwed up her face and in
whining tones gave them an imitation
of a I g. ir s ilieititig alms. Then she
turned cart whe Is twice around the
ro >:. i. indie .ed in half a dozen somer
sault and (dished with a low courte
sy an 1 the words:
"I.adies and gents all. Slapin' Sal
thanks you : ;■ ; inr bloomin' kindness
j and ! as the honor to wish you good
evenin'."
With that she went clattering down
! stairs, and not a hand was lifted to
; prevent her. The three men smoked
! in silence for five minutes, and then
I Jerry Palmer h a vet I a sigh and said:
■■«;eu; . it \ - a plan I thought out
in state's pri - in.and I won't go for to
j say that there wasn't a hole in it."
"An 1 I'm s iyin'." added Mike Dono
i van, "ih it when three gents can't tell
; the difference between a rich man's
j daughter and a gal that was at the
i kitchen door la ggin' for cold vittles
them three gents ought togo to stealin'
! from pushcarts."
It was up to Tommy Saunders to ex
j press himself, but he was slow about
it. When he did speak, all he said was:
"That's just like 'em! The rich nev
er will give a p > ir man a show!"
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. People who laugh heart
ily keep themselves in physical and
mental iiari aiy and are likely to live
long r than those who take life too
serious!*- se cess M:-.g:zil\e
