The general tendency of parents to
day is to make professional men out
■of their sons.although tiiore is a great
unsatisfied demand for first cuass me
chanics, while the clerical and pro
fessional ranks are overflowing with
men 'Jfho have high ambitions but
are unable t& earn a livelihood. It is
a noteworthy ff.ct that ewry time a
class graduates from High School, the
large x'* r c euta K e of tho lr,ale graduates
endeavor to become professional men.
Entering a profess kid. they often find
the ranks overcrowded and gradually
become clerks and stbord in ato employ
ees in capacities T.here there is no op
portunity for theru to better their
situation. The really independent,
happy man today is he who has mas
tered a good trade If he is &a indus
trious worker and willing to live
economically, iio will spend his de
clining days in independence free from
labor. The rule, on the other hand,
is that the professional mar. is ne', T er
done working till he dies. Especially
desirable these days are the tradet, oi
bricklayer, carpenter, mechanical en
gineer, machinist, iron or steel work
er. Moa in these trades can earn high
wages, and the hours are not long.
Telegraphy is another lino in which
the supply of men Is wot nearly e. jual
to the demand ana the wages are con
stantly climbing higher. In our own
town the dearth of gooa tradesmen
is very noticeable. We believe that
fifty or a hundred carpenters could
readily find employment, and there are
practically no apprentices. Eoys,
learn trades and you won't regret it.
Parents,induce your son to take some
of the trades that will enable him to
in the long run greatly improve his
condition in life.

I remarkable degree of prosperity and
progressiveuf'ss that has dwelt with
the loca. Y. M. C. A. during Mr.
Beruhard's administration.
When Mr. Bernhard came to the

negotiated September 1ith.,1900. Dur
j ing iiie past year Mr. Bernhard not

fcr a number of costly improvements,

indebtedness,a proceeding which even
tl.e most sanguine deemed impossible.

has organized a shop bible class, which
held meetings every Thurdsay at the

land, who is employed as a signal ten
der in the DY yard, on the Sunbury
division of the Pennsylvania, was
struck and killed by the passenger
train which leaves South Danville at
j2:21. The accident occurred a short
[ distance this side of Suubury.
The passenger train was rounding a
curve as it approached Duke, and lie
did not hear it on account of a freight

sundown. He also kept the interlock
ing switches iu repair. It was while
attending to these duties that he was
killed.
Besides his wife and parents several
brothers and sisters survive him. Both
he aud his wife had been faithful
members of the Lutheran church.

mini LETI
FLI BHD
Dr. Benjamin F. Diseroad, who
was graduated last spring from the
University of Pennsylvania, and who
later sailed for England, has written
a letter to a friend in Danville,giving
many interesting impressions of the
City of Edinburgh, Scotland. The let
ter iu part follows :
"Arrived all O. K. at Liverpool and
came up here to Edinburgh, Scotland
for a week to visit the university aud
hospital.
"Am attending the clinics every
morning here at the hospital from S) to
1:30 aud then in the afternoon go out
for recreation. Am stopping witli an
other U. of Pa. student. We are liv
ing just opposite the university aud
have tilings very convenient.
"One feels strange here and looks it,
too, I imagine, because, you know, I
am among a race of people a#ti not a
mixture of races as in the States.
Their style of dress is quite different
and every young man makes himself
conspicuous who does not carry a cane.
The men all wear their moustaches
waxed aud curled up—but I don't.
"It is quite cold here,about like our
November weather. The best combina
tion here in Scotland is an overcoat
aud a Scotch whiskey. The number of
intoxicated boys one sees here is re
markable. Saturday night the streets
were crowded aud there were more
druuk than sober. They also have
"lady" bartenders.
"Was down to one of their best
theaters last night and to mt' surprise
found the men sitting in the orchestra
and all over the house with their hats
on aud most of them smoking a pipe
or a cigar, regardless of the fair sex.
It is simply their custom, aud nobody
seems to object.
"A more beautit'il city than Edin
burgh with its old iaildings does not
exist. You know this city was the
home of all the Scottish kings and
queens. Edinburgh castle stands here
today and is the pride of all Scotland.
It stands iu the center of the town on
a huge rock 800 feet high and is an
impressive sight to see. The monu
rneuts of Scott and Burns, the poets,
are great. There are numerous monu
ments aud they all stand out well be
cause there is lots of space between
them aud the buildiugs.
"One afternoon this week 1 took a
ride with a party to see the fourth
bridge which spaus the Firth river.
It is one of the wonders of the world
and makes the Brooklyn bridge look
like a miniature. We drove out iu a
high coach with four horses.about ten
miles. We passed through some beauti
ful country, and as we rolled along
through spaces of sunshine and then
iuto the woods and up ravines we
would occasionally come in sight of
an old castle which had stood the at
tacks of tfie jealous aud ambitious
clansmen centuries ago."
Dr. Diseroad states iu conclusiou
that he iuteuded to spend a week iu
London aud a few days in Paris be
fore going to Vienna where he will
take op a course at the University.
Homing Pigeons Make a JRecord.
Two pigeons belonging to Frank
Brobst of Blooaisburg,released in this
city on Saturday, made a fine record
of speed ou their homing flight.
The two liouiers were brought down
to Danvillti by Motorman W. \V. Ber
ger and released at 11.42 o'clock a. in.
At 11 :52,ten minutes later, they alight
ed at the home loft in Bloomsburg.
The distance between Danville and
Bloomsburg being about ten miles the
carriers raaintauied a speed of about a
mile a minute.

_ST K
Attendants at the hospital 112 .r r'.e
insane during a couple of days pit
have been scouring t:e country v: :i
--in a radius of twelve or fifteen ur.te.*
of the institution for some clue 1- an
insane patient who escaped fr Hie
corn field on the hospital groan-i >ihont
the same time that the other patient
got away, w ho was captured in his
stocking feet and and brought to this
city.
Two such cases in close succession
are unusual and are attributed to the
inexperience of an attendant, who
was iu charge of the patients during
the absence of the regular attendant.
It is said that the patient now at large
asked permission togo to the spring
for a drink. It was noticed that he
did not return and a little investiga
tion showed that he had vanished.His
success in thus far eluding pursuit
shows that he is not deficient in cun
ning even if lie does not possess otlior
qualities that make him a dangerous
character to be at large.
Escapes wh"u they occur are matters
of much regret to the hospital author
ities. who are simply doing the best
they can with such material as they
have to work with. In spite of care
and discipline incompetency and dis
regard of rules are apt to crop out
among attendants as well as among
any other class, although it is well
known that the attendants at the local
hospital as a class rank very high and
are conscientious and careful in the
performance of their duty.
As a matter of fact it is a mistaken
policy to trust an insane patient a sin
gle moment when alone, no matter
what his record for good conduct may
be. This is well illustrated by an in
cident that has occurred in connection
with the local hospital during a few
days past.
Among the patients was one whose
conduct was perfectly exemplary and
he impressed all with the exception of
the experts as being thoroughly cured.
He played in the hospital orchestra
and as recently as the last commence -
ment, when the nurses graduated, he
attracted much attention by his cor
rect playing. His relatives, who fan
cied they understood the case and
were willing to assume all risks, with
in a few days past managed to secure
his release.
The result was that the very night
of his return home, the man became
violent and attempted to murder his
wife and daughter. He escaped iu the
excitement and is now a fugitive.
