It is high time for hot weather.
Jnlv gave us an exceptionally cool and
pleasant month, and if we have a
tew hot days this week we have no
g...id i ause to complain. The only way
to do during a hot sjiell, is not to
ov< r work, over eat, or indulge
in exces-es of any kind, and keep as
aim and olh > ted a mind as possible,
r>-t i- much circumstances w ill "al
low. The Summer i> rapidly passing
and reasonable weather is desirable
from a business and crop view.no mat
ter what the month may be. Don t
grumble, make yourself comfortable
and don't think and talk about hot
weather if it is an unpleasant theme.
SNOW FELL ON HOTTEST DAY.
Snow within twenty minutes ride
of Shaniokin on the hottest day of the
year
Such is the strange story which
comes from the Scott colliery near the
thriving town of Kulpmout. A work
man when lie arrived in Shaniokin
Monday evening said that Monday af
ternoon, when he was about to collapse
on account of the heat, a sudden cold
wind -truck his wet brow and he ac
tually saw snow fall. The little bliz
zard was soon over, but tic white
Hake*. cooled his face.
Crazy with the heat, you say. But
the man was tit dead earnest, and is
known to be truthful.
INTERFERES WITH BUSINESS.
There are hundreds of women who
hud del iff ht in visiting shops, pulling
over the st«icks, obtaining samples
they do not want and wasting time
and patience of sales jieople for which
good customers are willing to pay
lilterallv What i*i--il>|e pleasure can
be secured from such a pastime is
hard to understand, or to practical
j» r-«.iis the days are all too short for
necessary task-. Dealers certainly like
to display their goods and they pub
licly invite ius|«M-tion, but that can
not l»* stretched to mean the inevit
able damage bv handling ami the in
terference with business which comes
from iiioiio|m di zing the attention of
sale* people.
YOI NU MEN TO THE RESCUE.
Determined that the advantages 'of
Shaniokin and Coal Township as a
place unsurpassed in every way for
the • - tahlishmcut of factories and
manufacturing plants of all kinds
(.ball no longer remain unknown to
the outside world, a number of Siia
mokin's most prominent and enterpris
ing young men have determined upon
the organization of a Chamber of
Commerce to supercede in many ways
the Board of Trade, which for so many
years has laid dormant and entirely
inactive so far a- benefitting the town
goes, and thus to use, by means of the
new organization, every possible and
legitimate means of advertising Sha
mob in and Coal Township.
Discovery of Murdered Infant.
The suspicious actions of an Italian
at West Berwick led to the finding of
a murdered infant there oil Saturday
The man was apparently working in
a field, but on the approach of a farm
er named Creasy he dropped his shov
el and ran for the Italian quarter. An
investigation disclosed a wooden box
buried beneath a heap of fresh dirt
and containing a still l>oru child. A
crowd of foreigners looking on from
afar indicated that they knew what
was going on.
VOTERS WANT RECORDS

GIVE THE BOYS
A CHANCE
A number (»t Danville school boys
an- spending their vacation days in
factories or stores and it will do them
no harm. There is a danger accom
panying the work, however, responsi
bility being both with parents and
boys,probably more* so with the former
since they have control of the situa
tion It is the danger of the hoys be
ing allowed to remain out of school
when the fall term starts, the pleas
ure of wage earning overcoming their
desire to complete an education, or in
the case ut poor people the benefits
derived being such as to tempt them
to keep the boys steadily at work.
The few paltry dollars to be earned
now must be steadfastly overlooked
in view of future utility of the boy
who succeeds in getting even a High
school education. The questiou of col
lege is another consideration All bovs
should have the advantage of at least
the learning they can get in High
school ami if the parents can not send
them to college the boys should be un
impeded and will make their own way
if endowed with the right spirit.
Kre this even college men have been
found driving grocery w:igons and it
i- not hard to find the reason. Usual
ly the one who g*Hs an education and
then makes no profitable use of it is
the drifter who possibly got through
college only because of financial back
ing.
It' the boy has a scintilla of evidence
of brains give him the best possible
education. He will be a better work
man if he takes up even the most
simple form of labor. He will even in
such a position find things in life that
his unlettered companion can not see
or enjoy.
Why Evans Deposed Vanderslice.
Speaking of the reasons which
prompted Judge Evans in deposing
Oeorge .1 Vanderslice as court sten
ographer and appointing William B.
Liuville in his place one of Judge
Kvans' most intimate friends stated
that lie knew whereof he was speak
ing when he'stated that Judge Evans
was prompted jiot by any political al
liances in making the change, but be
cause he felt that Vanderslice was not
neutral in the fight now on, and bo
cause it had reached Judge Evans'
ears that Vanderslice had made re
marks concerning his course on the
bench that made him convinced that a
change was desirable. The change,the
informant continues, was made for
personal and not political reasons.

Officiated in Shirt Sleeves.
The question of permitting the male
members of his congregation to par
ticipate in the services Sunday even
ing with some degree of comfort was
quickly settled by Rev. Thomas Hoop
er, pastor of the Methodist Protestant
church of West Berwick, who stated
that the men .should feel at liberty to
remove their coats and be as comfort
able as possible. When they showed
signs of hesitancy the reverend gentle
man removed his coat and conducted
services in his shirt sleeves. A number
of the men then followed his comfort
able example.
In several other Berwick churches
Sunday evening the men were invited
to remove their coats and be comfort
able or as near comfortable as weatli
ar conditions permitted.
nlist Valentines <io?
Well, here's the limit. A Philadel
phia court decides that the "comic
valentine" is a criminally libelous
thing and must be suppressed !
Shades of our childhood! What a
hum-drum world it will be when the
wiseacres of the law shall have finally
satisfied themselves that the human
animal has been fenced about with
sufficient restrictions to render him
absolutely harmless and inoffensive.
The cannon eraker has been banish
ed from the Glorious Fourth by sol
emn edict; stern penalties await the
despoiler of front gates on Hallowe'en
playing "hookey" from school is a
crime; baseball on the streets is
against the law, and a fellow can't go
swimming any more in the "altogeth
er" or even have the measles without
placarded permission of the " health
authorities.''
And now the sacred traditions of
St. Valentine are being ruthlessly
dragged into the limelight of the
courts and made to submit to legal ex
amination and judicial decree. Truly
we are becoming a much governed
people 1

Lightning Struck Residence.
During the severe storm, which
passed over thi- section on Monday
afternoon, a cold bolt of lightning
struck the gable end of the roof of
John Colt's residence at the corner of
Market and Second streets, Northum
berland, and tore away a portion of
the roof. Hail stones fell the size of
hickory nuts and caused considerable
damage to the crops about Northum

"Horrors, child! Don't you say such

"Impossible, Aunt Ellen. Herman

For au hour and five minutes Miss
Dressel sat silent, ostensibly watching
the valleys, the < termini gables, the
green of meadows and forests, as they
swept by. For au hour and five min

Then Miss Dressel coughed, and Miss
Vanstium inwardly caught her breatli.
"Aunt Ellen," said Miss I'ressel, la
zily waving her hand toward the scen
ery as If she were discussing it —"Aunt
Ellen, do you know that young man

"Virginia, oh, Virginia!" groaned
Mrs. Vanstrnm. "It's it's ind to
talk about a man like that when he
can't understand."
"Don't jiggle your pompadour crook

calmly. "I'on't worry. It' he under

here we are almost at Hamburg. Here,
let me tie your veil. Y>>u are getting
it on crooked. No, let mo carry the
suit case. It's a young house. Now
for my last fee—almost on foreign
soil."
The train had hardly come to a long
screeching stop in the gi *at station at
Hamburg when the door of the ciir
rlage was jerked violently open and a
young man pulled the German out
with a hearty grip, exclaiming in Eng
llsli:
"We're in luck. There was a state
room unengaged on the Kaiser Wil
helm. and we can sail four days earlier
than we expei ted Good luck, man!
Why d on't you say something instead
of looking at me like a dazed idiot 7"
The German pulled himself together
with a noticeable effort and began to
stammer out something in German,
when the other interrupted him Impa

"Aw, cut that out! You know per
fectly well I can't u: derstand a w .nl

The young German flushed red, and
with one appealing 1 >ok r hf into

soon lost to view in the hurrying
throng.
Miss Dressel silently pieked up her
luggage, carefully avoiding her aunt'*
eye, anil for a minute after leaving
the carriage she looked helplessly
nUuit tier. Then the label "Berlin" on
a carriage caught her eye, and without
a word to her puzzled relative she t -ik
her by the arm. raced her across the
station and pushed her in, stumbling in
herself, just as the guard put his hand
on the door to close it
"Why what where" said Miss
Vanstrum.
"I don't know," said her niece des
perately, "but most anywhere out of
Hamburg."
"But our steamer!" gasped Mi-s Van

"What's losing a steamer. Aunt El

I'd no more sail on the Kaiser Wilhelm
now than I'd fly. Aunt Ellen, you're a

"You haven't given nie time," laugh

It was the evening of the last mil
sicale of the Season at the White
House, and an unwonted air of antic!
pat ion pervaded the brilliant throng as
it gathered in the great east room
"They say she has one of the finest
voices ever heard off the stage," said
the wife of a South American illplo
mat. "But the family is one of the
kind they call here I'. F. V.' and will
not let her accept any of the offers she
has had for grand opera This is her
only appearance in public : n< • she re
turned from Europe. There's Anton
von Stosch. Did you ever '■ce tiny one
so eager togo everywhere as tli t man
Is? lie's simply crazy about meeting
Americans."
"American women strangers, yon
should say," laughed a man wearing
the cross of the Legion of Honor. "You
can get Tony von Stosch togo any
where just by hinting that some 'new
girls' will be there."
"They say at the German legal lou
that by actual count Tony von Stosch
has met Sih> 'new fills' wince the sea

As the rlppl<- of merriment greeting
this expression of th ■ well kno n foi
ble of the popular Anton von Sb. eh
died away someone -aid; "Hush. The

For some time Anton von St" eh
watched the artist- come and go, his
face wearing an unwonted look of
weariness and di • an ■igonicnt For
months lie had sought dili • • 1111 \ for
the two American women who called

ended lamely as she saw her exclama

into her eyes as he took her hand.
"1 am glad i > meet you—again," he
said quietly. "I have hunted this town
over to find you. May I call tomor

"I—l -<>h, I really don't know," said
Miss luvssel. Then she began to laugh
almost hysterically. "It's all too ab

and please don't got offended, but 1
was so surprised and"—
"I'll wait " said Anton von Stosch,
quietly falling back, "it is quite enough
to know that 1 have found you at last."
Though ho spoke no more to her that
evening. Miss luessel was well aware
that he followed her from group to
group and from room to room, as If
fearful of lasing si;jht of her. As the
door of her e t-rla-'e was snapped shut
his face ai pe.irod in tho opening, and
he said quietly, but firmly:
"Is! all do myself the honor to call
upon you torn irrow afternoon."
Had Anton \on Stosch been less
eager or determined he would have
■waited until the conventional hour of
calling and possibly have missed Miss
I ires I for his conventionality, but as
it was he arrived so early and unex
pectedly upon the scene that he was
u : . red into the library where she sat.

greetings, "but I'm not going to lose

Cl«*rinan idiom.
Mi- - I»:•«-sol had seen the night be
fore just what the Intentions of An
ton i Sto eh were, and she had been
trying to make up her mind whether

evade the i sue by another (light. She
was taken wholly unawares by the ex

"But I've only seen you three times
In my life!" lie gasped. "I can't con

"You don't love another?" said An

"No," said Miss Dressel, "but" —
"Then I'll make my tight," said An
ton von Stosch, "and I meat to win.
It's life or death to me and no man
who is a man will give tin his life
without a struggle."
That was the beginning of one of
the prettiest courtships that ever
crossed the horizon of Washington
life, and since Anton von Stosch was
a gentleman as well as a man of
promise in his chosen career the June
wedding bells rang merrily over
smiles and happiness and genuine good

By TROY ALLISON
< op* ri ;lit, 1"m. liy Homer Spratru"
Esther lilake felt certain that there
were po itions in life that she would
have found less trying than that of j
only child of a popular minister. She j
loved the dear old rectory, with its j
shabln furnitui*' she had grown up
feeling that the beautiful gray stone
church with the stained glass windows
was part of the family possessions;
but. while these things helped make
the condition pleasanter, they did not
keep her from wanting the things that
other girls had and to do the things
that othei girls did.
Christmas after Christmas her lips
had quivered when sin- had received
from one to a dozen handsome IMbles
from the friends in her father's con
gregation. Her mother had a sense of
lmtnor, and when Esther on her twen
tieth birthday received IJible No. 37
she laughed and told her daughter that
for Christmas she would buy her an
adjustable extension bookcase. There
seemed nothing else that she needed
quite so much.
The girl's face seemed half divided
between a desire to laugh and to cry.
"I don't see why tliey think I don't
want a trinket occasionally a fan, a
bracelet or something a little bit friv
olous, mamma," she said. "I have
nineteen Madonnas hanging in my
room, and I have received at various
times a copy of almost every religious
picture ever printed. <>f course I like
them, but I wish I could be considered
as a mere girl some time and not a part
of St. John's church."
She had as a little girl cheerfully
given up the dancing lessons that she
wanted. She was never invited to card
parties because each and every hostess
felt a tiny bit doubtful as to whether
it would be suitable to extend such in
vitation to her.
Even the dinner parties and ice
cream festivals had failed to be partic
ularly interesting to her for if there
wore a citrate or a theological student
among the guests she was sure to have
him assigned to her. As a schoolgirl
fhe had stolen furtive glances at the
college boy, who wore their llfllr long
and played football there was some
thing fascinating In the jolly way they
laughed and she had wished that her
hostess would understand that she
would like occasionally the girlish fri
volity of eating a phllopena with a foot
ball youth. Rut they never did under
stand, and she continued to discuss
with curates the last Sunday's sermon
or a new plan for decorating tho
church next Easter.
There had, however, been one glori
ous period of freedom she had spent
two year- at a boarding school, had
played basketball as hilariously as any
girl on the team, had eaten welsh rare
bits, rooked at midnight behind cov
erc I transoins and chinked doors, with
the same temerity shown by the girls
who had lawyers or doctors for fa
thers.
And, best of all, she had become ac
quainted with vivacious Eilae Hour
land. whose mother was French and
whose father considered life worth liv
ing and the world a Jolly place to live
In.
Contrary to the idea that like seeks
like, the two girls, so different, had
formed a fast friendship.
When l>lck Rourland, who practiced
law In a city neighboring tho school,
paid Ills wei y visits to his sister, he
pronounced deiaure little Esther Rlake
altogether charming At the close of
school he to!d her s ■. and, finding that
she admitted having exactly the same
opinion ■ 112 lilia, he had taken the long
Journey to reach the little South Caro
lina town and state the case to tho
rector.
Dick's mother had, upon the an
nouncement of the engagement, writ
ton a nice little note and invited tho
girl to come for a visit that she might
get acquainted with her future rola
tlVCH.
The girl stood in the library by tho
window watching the rain that had
boon steadily pouring all tho forenoon,
puckering her forehead in anxious plan
ning? of the possibilities of the case.
"I really don't see how 1 can go,
mamma," she said finally."lt Is Im
possible for papa to afford it now."
Her mother tapped lior pen medita
tively against the inkstand and tried
to help her plan.
"You get your railway fare at half
rate, you know, my dear—that helps
some .and you could alter my new gray
crape and make it look youthful enough
for a calling dress. Then you have
your wliito commencement dress.
There's a small foundation, you see, to
begin with."
Esther came over and sat on a stool
by her mother's knee.
"I can't help wanting his people to
think I'm nice and for him to be proud
of me You understand, don't you,
motherkins?"
Mrs. (Slake patted her on the back
and her eyes grow misty.
"Yes, yes. dearie, 1 understand per
fectly but 1 also remember that ITick
loved ii y girl for herself—when she
didn't have half tle> pretty clothes tho
other girls were able to afford. That's
the thing to keep in mind, little daugh
ter."
Esther kissed her impulsively. "You
are the host kind of a comforter,
mother mine. Come, lot's look over the
remnants of our wardrobes and see If
we can't accomplish some of those won

She didn't tell the girl the history of
those gloves.
Five years before, when the rector
w:i- having more financial ditticulties
than it set'; ied right for one man to
In e, he had read the marriage service
lor one of the wealthiest young men in
the town. It was a quiet home wed
din , and the bridegroom had laugh
ingly presented him with the bride's
glove; a 4 a. ouvenlr.
The rector always had been in the
habit of giving all wedding fees to his
wife for her own personal use.
When he u;> »n his return home gave
her the gl-»ves she had tossed them in
t > her trunk, wondering in the depth
of her heart what earthly use the
bridegroom thought those gloves would
do her financially distressed husband.
She now found them in the very bot
tom of her trunk and tossed them Into
Esther's lap.
"After all these years, my dear, may
be they will be of service. They bo
lot ed to OP • bride. Perhaps they will
prove a talisiaan to bring happiness to
a girl who is just engaged."
Esther unwrapped one glove from
th<> other and commenced smoothing
them out. They were long and soft,
of the fine e suede.
She slipped one of them onto
straighten 11.<• lingers, then turned them
in astonishment.
"Mamma KlaUc," she exclaimed, her
free crimson with excitement, "there
