RESTRAIN THE GIRLS.
A MeKeesport pastor.having declar
ed that hundreds of the city's young
gnls are in grave danger because they
are allowed to roam the streets or to
visit places of amusement until late
hours of the night, the MeKeesport
New- says the statement "is one that
observant citizens know to be true.
The evil is not peculiar to this city,"
remarks the News, "but it is none the
less an evil for that; and parents may
sa%« trouble and shame for themselves
a- well a- for their daughters, by a
wise exercise of authority. It is not
the over indulgent parent who will
retain the love and grateful admira
tion of her children, hut the firm
mother who stands between them and
evil and compete them to obey the law
of the wise home.
Putting a card case into John S.
Burke'- pocket as he slept at the Phil
adelphia and Reading station in Mt.
Carmel to tak< the place of a wallet,
proved the undoing of Joseph Taylor

Burke,who was the pressman for the
Pawnee P.ill circus, fell asleep, while
waiting for the sleeper in the Mt.
('arutel station Tuesday morning and
while he was safely wrapped in the
trius ut Morpheus, the two young men
are aocasi-d of having removed his
wallet containing » -urn of money and
a railroad ticket from his |ww-ket.
Fearing that he might detect the loss
at on< they put a cart I case in the
poeket but forgot to remove their
cards When Burke was about to board
the train he examined Ins wallet to
«ee if everything was all right and
discovered that he had lieeii "touch
ed He at once reported to the police
ami ou the streugth of the card case
ami the testimony of several citizens,
who had geen the young men loitering
about the s;ation. Taylor and Lambert
was arrested.

REPUBLICANS
MAKE NOMINATIONS
(C •ufiniied from Fiist Page |
liam- of Danville and Samuel Wagner
of Liberty township were placed in
nomination. The roll of delegates was
called, when if was found that Mr.
Williams had twenty two votes and
Mr. Wagner, t D. C. Williams,there
fore. was declared the nominee fox
sheriff ot Montour county
For register aud murder three name
were placed in nomin itioii llarry K.
Seidel, Jesse Beaver and Will (i.
Kramer. A vote was taken when it
was found that Mr. Seidel had receiv
ed II votes as against Mr. Kramer's S
and Mr. Beaver's 1. Harry E. Seidel,
therefore, was declared the candidate
for register and recorder.
There were two candidates for jury
commissioner voted for at the prim
aries—Harry K< rn and James L. Hit
ler. Mr. Kern received lfi delegates
and Mr. Bitler 10. Harry Kern, there
fore, was declared the candidate for
jury commissioner.
John lv Roberts was unanimously
reelected county chairman.
In conclusion several addresses were
made by the candidates. Judge C. C.
Evans led off with an address which ,
called forth much applause. He thank- j
ed the convention for its unanimous
endorsement. He has also been endors
ed by Columbia county and given pow- 1
er to choose his own conferees. In a
few days, he said, he will appoint his
conferees. It is his intention to make
an honest effort to secure election, j
No unlawful means will he employed. I
Some seem to think, he said, that it
is right to treat voters while running
for the office of judge. This, lie de
clared, is unlawful and every can
didate who does so deserves to be de
feated. II elected, lie will go upon the
bench owing favors to none and will
be in a position to give a square deal
to one and all
Hon. E. W. Samuel also made an ad j
dress which called forth much ap- '
plause. lie thanked the convention
for the endorsement. He came before
the people, he said, with a clean rec
ord behind him and on that record, he
declared, he intended to stand, lie al
luded to the remarkable record of the
present congress and said it was his
firm intention to stand by the presi
dent. He took the view that it is
necessary to achieve Republican sue
cess m order that our present tariff
laws ni:*v remain secure.
Mr. Kisner being called upon declar
ed in a Democratic county such as
Montour it might be well to heed
Quay's advice to General Beaver and
not talk too much. He, however, went
on and made a ringing speech, pledg
ing his honor that if elected he would
goto the legislature with the highest
motives and represent the people in a
way that will reflect credit on the
count v.
Associate Judg3 Charles A. Wagner
also made a short address thanking
the convention.

HAS MANY PARALLELS.
The "Here and There" man of the
Jolinstown Tribune, author of one of
the best features of that admirable
daily, tells the following little story
that has more than one parallel: ''A
farmer had two sons, one of them a
very bright boy, theotlHi rather dull,
lb' decided it was worth while to
educate the bright boy, and sent him
to a law school. The dull one was con
sidered only tit for farming, and was
allowed t<i remain on the "place."
Now the dull boy is one of the most
prominent citizens of hi- county, has
been sent to the legislature, and has
lent his lawyer brother so ninch money
that when the old gentleman tlies the
lawyer won't have a cent coining to
him out of the estate.
22 Inch Salmon.
Mrs. (iearhart Oberdorf, who with
her husband was fishing last evening
on the river below town caught a
monster salmon. The salmon, which
is i inches long ami which weighs
:5' t pounds. was caught on a trolling
line and was landed only alter a hard
fight.

alio ed no one in the lodge to he with- i
out matches.
"I'll litrht a tire," she said, "and camp |
right here for the night."
Dizzy with pain and hunger, she)
p linfnlly gathered together some dead I
branches and, kindling a cheerful j
Maze, sat down before it. The pain |
in her arm was very great, and she j
rolled hack her sleeve and plied soft j
handfute of snow on the flesh.
The whispering of the night through
the pine- seemed very sad and lonely
to Rose. It was only by watching the
beauty of the r.irlet lire glow on snow
and sweeping branches and murmur
ing over and over to herself that she
was not afraid that the girl kept her
self from screaming with terror.
Then from out the darkness behind
her came the soft fluff fluff of hurrying
snowshoes, and Hugh, hot and breath
less, stood before her.
''Rose!" he cried. "Hose, I thought (
had lost you!"
Rose looked up at him in amaze
ment. "How did yon find me, Hugh?"
"Find you! Why. I've been follow
ing yon ever since you left the lodge.
Rut Just at dusk my snowshoe broke,
and before I cotdd patch it up you
were out of sight."
Rose put another handful of snow on
her arm. Hugh threw himself down
beside her. "Oh, Rose," he cried, "what
have you done to yourself?"
Rose looked up at him. Suddenly
she realized how she had been belit
tling a great thing in satisfying her
foolish pride. Suddenly she saw that
tb.ls w:'s ' e t of all; not that she keep

COPPERPLATE ENGRAVING. I
'i hp Art H'r.s Dlscovfreil Throuuli 11»•»
Merest Arriilfnt.
Every one has noticed on his visiting;
card tl« extremely delic.ite line, of
his name, and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things of use and beauty,
this art of copperplate engraving was
'discovered through the merest accident
by the goldsmiths of Florence in the
fifteenth century. It is a historical
fact, however, that one day an engrav
er on gold, wishing to take a proof of
his work, made the usual sulphur cast
and then tilled up the lines with lamp
black. thus enabling him to see exactly
how his work looked. While occupied
in doin- this it occurred to him that
possibly the same results could be ob
tained by tilling up the original en
graving with lampblack instead of
making an impression of it and tilling
up that. Struck with the idea, he put
it into practical use. and with a little
damp paper succeeded in getting a fair
impressi.>n from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
other workers in the art, and they
hulled It with joy, as it BIIVO<I ail tin
arduous trouble of making sulphur
casts, hut thev never saw the full value
of the discovery, and consequently the
art 'if plate engraving lay for almost
a century before Its true import was
discovered and brought out in all its
great and beautiful results. Today col
lectors of plate engravings nrve over
the crude results of earlier times and j
search the world for examples of these
early masters to add to their collec
tions. Mam of these collections have
been presented to museums, where
they may be seen and appreciated t>y
the people.
THE BEST SLEEP.
It Is That Which One Cannot Avoid
Without a Struggle.
When debating the question, How
much sleep is needed? one must keep
in mind that the best sleep. Indeed, the
only healthy kind, is that which one
cunuot avoid without a struggle. It is
the sleep that always follows on weari
ness; it is not that which is obtained
by difficulty If a person slept for three
hours riiclit away and then awoke re
freshed—that is, with no further in
clination to sleep he would not then
he In need of it. His proper course
would be to arise and engage in work.
But he must be prepared to sleep at
any time in the day when the longing
occurs. To the latter rule there is one
exception. Let us suppose that one
has acquired the habit of sleeping half
the night and lying half awake during
the remaining half. Such a habit can
lie best broken by rising after the first
sleep and refraining from a nap in the
day. When the bed hour arrives the
chances are that the victim of insom
nia will be so sleep hungry that he
will not wake until the proper hour for
rising.
In any case it is a great mistake to
turn over on the other side and remain
in a half c mseioii:* state. Indeed, It is
a more serious mistake than many
would believe, says Home Notes. The
brain is now in a peculiar state, more
closely resembling the hypnotic than
would be p< iMe under nnv other nor
rnal conditions. Quite a lot might be
written about the peculiar dangers and
powers of this half waking state.

An attempt which Jacob Stauffer.of
New Hanover, made to domesticate
three skunks and convert them into
household pets has proved a dismal
failure. For a few days they seemed
to be as docile as kittens, and Mr.
Stan tier believed the experiment would
prove a success. But ii was soon made
manifest that the odoriferous peculiar
ities of the animals could not be over
conic. So Mr. Stauffer gave up bis
scheme in disgust.
