HORSE FELL
INTO CELLAR
A horse belonging to Thomas .Tones
Ferry street, Monady afternoon fell
into an opening leading into the cel
lar of the Opera House building, aud
the resulting incidents for a while
furnished excitement for the neighbor
hood.
The horse had just been unhitched
and was left to stand in the alley iu
the rear of the opera house while tiie
wagon was taken into the stable. Tiie
animal was near the opening into the
cellar. Several steps backward and she
went rear foremost down the steps,
bringing up with a thud against the
bolted doors. There the horse lay help
less, and those who were attracted to
the scene could do nothing for a while
to eitiier get tiie animal back into the
alley or open the bolts of the door.
It was finally decided to force tiie
door, which was accomplished with a
battering ram. When tiie door gave
way the horse turned a complete som
erset, landing on its back iu tiie cel
lar in a pile of scrap iron.
The horse was induced to lie still
while tiie debris was removed, when
she arose without much trouble. A
lead way was made aud she was tak
en from the cellar without aecident.
Strange to say tiie animal sustained
no more serious injury than a couple
of insignificant scratches.

MAN SUICIDES
AT TURBOTVILLE
Peter Kisner committed suicide by
hanging in the barn of the liable hot
el at Turbotville probably some time
during Sunday morning. His shock
ing fate was not discovered until his
body was found Monday morning by
a boy.
Kisner was a man about 55 years of j
age, well known in that section where
lie has several brothers. He was a
lumberman aud worked in the lumber
camps to tiie north. About two weeks
ago he cnme to Turbotville to spend a
vacation, stopping at the Eagle hotel,
of which Frank Ellis, formerly of Ex
change, is the proprietor.
Kisner was last seen about the place
Sunday morning, aud seemed to be iu
his usual health aud spirits and iu
nowise downcast. When he failed to
turn up for dinner no attention was
paid to his absence as he frequeutly
was away for a time aud would return.
Monday morning Randall Ellis,sou
of Landlord Frank Ellis, was at the
barn and had occasion togo up stairs
to the oat bin. At the door to the bin
the gruesome sight of the man's body
greeted his eyes, hanging from a rope
tied to one of the rafters.
Tie people at Turbotville are at a '
loss to assign a reason for the rash act I
They state tiiat the man had money in
the bank, aud that no trouble was op- j
pressing him of which they have any
knowledge.

Log DrajT Testimony.
Appreciating the great help that
local Good Roads associations cau ren
der the cause of good roads, the Ill
inois highway commission in their
last report devote considerable space
to their importance and the work of
several Illinois associations. Oue in
particular, the Galva Good Roads Im
provement association, is singled out
for special mention because of its
splendid work encouraging the general
use of tiie split-log drag on the dirt
roads leading into Galva. President
Miller, of this association, speaking
of their work of grading draining and
dragging, recently states : "We have
specimens of road where the grade was
completed in this manner and drain
tile laid where the water line was
within one foot of the surface, and
through which for many years people
waded hub deep iu mud in the spring,
and sometime* iu the fall wheu it
rained; but these portions of the road
are now as firm aud as good as auv we
have." He also stated ttiat the high
way commissioners have made con
tracts with the farmers to keep their
roads dragged for eight dollars a mile
aud that the cash system of road tax
she artily approved by both the tax
payers aud road users.
Speaking of the excellence of these
roads A. N. Johnson, Illinois state
highway engineer, says they "could
well serve as model earth roads."

THE TRUE
HAPPINESS
The sick think if they had health
nothing else would matter. The hard
working man thinks if he had leisure
he would be content. But happiness
is not tiie prerogative of auy class of
people or station iu life. Bernard
Shaw says in oue of his plays that
"the man with the toothache thinks
every man happy whose teeth are
sound, and the poverty-stricken man
makes the same mistake about tiie rich
man."
So it is witli most things. Oue al
ways feels that tiie thing he doesn't
possess or tiie thing he can't do is the
one thing essential to his happiness.
But the things which really goto
make for happiness are numerous and
varied, for no two people think or feel
alike. If there is oue thing more than
all others that helps to smooth the
rough places it is temperament. The j
man or woman who is inclined to look |
ou the bright side, who is confident
that-clouds have a silver lining, and ]
who realizes that life is only a game j
to be played to the best of one's abil- j
ity. is bound to be happier than one j
who is always expecting the worst, or :
who, because the sky is clouded, is
sure that the sun will never shine !
again.
The important question is: Can the j
cheerful attitude be acquirred or is it
oue of the gifts of the gods and be
stowed on only a favored few? No
doubt some arc gifted with a happier
and more cheerful temperament than
others. It seems to be natural for some
to be morose,while others are natural
ly sunny. But this is no reason why
the melancholy one can't change his
point of view There art* always two
ways of looking at every question.and
one's point of view as to cheerfulness
is largely a matter of habit It is easv
to see the best as it is to see the worst
in people. And acording to what we
habitually see in others, each of us
pecples his own world.
Joys, woes, successes, failures aie
real only as they appear to us to be
so. So for each of us the world is
what we choose to make it.

WHEAT WASHING
NEARLY DONE
Last week saw the finishing touches
put ou the housing of a big wheat
crop in this section. The cutting of j
the graiu was practically completed j
during week before last,and last week j
the farmers were busy with their j
thrashing.
The majority of the agriculturalists |
now have their crop safely under roof,
and one of the worries of the rural
resident is over. The wheat was a
big crop in this section this year The
other good crop this summer is the
hay, which is now nearly all made.
The same conditions which made for
a good yield of wheat and hay—wet
iu the early part of the season and dry
in the latter part—hare .been disas
trous to the oats and corn. The oats
this year will be very short, and as
one farmer expressed it Saturday,
''About all there is of the corn is the
plants."

AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated to al
Washington's Home.
The diary of Munasse Cutler, the
founder of Ohio und the author of the
ordinance of JTS'i, gives an account ol
a visit he made to Mount Vernon
i two years after General Washington's
[ death. We say "General" Washing
j ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing
j ton was pleased to call him—a copy foi
j all those good women whose husbands
| have won them honor on the field oi
| war.
| Sir. Cutler says it was the desire ot
j their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
! in time for breakfast (7 o'clock) with
| Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
j and worse horses detained them, so
they did not reach there until about
! 10, which Mrs. Washington regretted,
but she said, "Breakfast would be
ready in a few minutes." The diary
j goes onto say:
j "In a short time she arose and desired
I us to walk into another room, where a
table was elegantly spread with ham,
■ cold corned beef, cold fowl, red her-
I ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna
j inented with sprigs of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. At
I the head of the table was the tea and
i coffee equipage, where she seated her
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
I company."
j The point of interest is that break
i fast menu—five kinds of meat decked
i with sprigs of parsley and accompa
nied with divers vegetables. Isn't
1 there an appetizing array and doesn't
i the heart long for just such a scene?
: Of course the mere feeders, the fel
| lows that hanker for hot things, may
| not think so, but the very mention of
j cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton
: and cold corned beef nil in the same
' breath is an appeal to a conscientious
appetite that i* unresisting. And that
was a breakfast of the long ago.

THE REGULARS
V£R£D_R£HGH£D
The mettle of the regulars in Bat-
I tery D. Third Field Artillery, who
; were encamped ou the banks ot Penn'a
| creek, near Selinsgrove, was tried to
the utmost Tuesday evening by the
! storm which deluged this sectiou of
j the country for three hours.
Iu bliuding sheets the rain came
down on the dog tents pitched on the
I shores of the streams,and they provid
j ed but little protection from the ele
ments.
j At daybreak, yesterday morning,
j however,the artillerymen broke camp,
and agaiu took up their journey south
ward. They fortunately are on a fair
stretch of highway now; with their
heavy gnns, they would be unable to
pass over some of the roads iu this
vicinity in their present condition.
The people of Suubury were greatly
disappointed by the coming of the
storui Tuesday evening. Many of them
bad intended to visit tiie encampment.
A few people went to Selinsgrove in
the afternoon, but the great majority
waited until evening. Then the heavy
rain made travel impossible.
The soldiers were begrimed with
dnst and dirt when they arrived at
Selinsgrove Tuesday. From now on,
however, their journey will be less
difficult. They are making the trip to
Fort Myers. Virginia, iu easy stages,
and will arrive there in about ten
I days at their preseut rate.

ENCOURAGED BY
TUESDAY S RAIN
The river has risen slightly and is
quite muddy as the result of the heavy
rain Tuesday night, which appears to
have been general.
The farmers are much encouraged,
as the rain came just in time to save
the corn crop and help along the late
potatoes. Other things that will be
benefited are buckwheat, pasture and
garden truck
Yegetation was quick to respond to
the rain and yesterday seemed to have
taken on freshness ahd a deeper hue of
green. The dust, which iiad been a
great nuisance for many weeks, lias
disaupeared from the roads and all
nature seems to have assumed an
additional chaini.
Delay in commencing treatnieut for
» slight irregularity that could have
been cured quickly by Foley's Kidney
Remedy may result in a serious kid
ney disease. Foley's Kidney Remedy

strengthens these organs. Commence
