Montour American FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., July fIEN CHANNEL 1 HE RIFFLES Daring evenings for many yearn past it has 1> en customary for a until ber of friendly spirits to drop in at the water worts for a chat witli the employes and with eaiih otner. Among the habitues of the place are some verv orig ; ns! thinkers. All sorts of subjects are div' nssed, from river navigation fo the inventing et perpet ual motion. Although seldom heard of beyond the little circle many of the ideas advanced are of real valne. Just now the men are bnsy devising means whereby the coal diggers, idle because of the low water, might be kept at work. It occurred to somebody that aa ar tificial channel might be opened where the water is shallow, which won Id enable the coal dredges, along With other craft, to ply backword> and forwards between Danville and the deeper water down str< am. Tiiiß seemed all the more practicable as the shallow water or the obstructed chan nel extends a comparatively short dis tance, in the vicinity of the riffles. Those familiar with the spot demon strated how easily a channel could be opened, if all those interested would unite i n the effort. Several rocks, whiob now are obstacles in the way of the boats conld be rolled aside: at other places a channel could be open ed by scooping op or shoveling the gravel aside by hand, either of which would be feasible owing to the low stage of the river. Once over the riffles there would be clear -ailing. The coal dredges could resume their work of digging coal and fishermen in their b oats could pass backwards and forwards to and from the deep water where t>ass and salmon abound. The idea has been rnggested to one or more owners of co.il diggers who, it is said, admit the practicability of the plan but up to tiie present have not taken the initiative in env move to carry out the idea.

KIND OF FLIRTING MEANT. Professor Falmer of Harvard Revises His Suggestion to Students. Professor George 11. Palmer of Har vard university says, according to a j Boston dispatch, that the wrong im- I pression has been given by reports of : his address in which he recently said flirting sometimes was a good thing. "I am afraid 1 have been misunder stood,'' he said. "All I was trying to say was this: Make your pleasure a good background to hard study, and if you get any pleasure out of innocent flirting there can be no reasonable ob jection to it. "1 believe we should get as much happiness out of life as possible, and 1 merely am urging what I believe is the innocent sido of the subject. All might not be ib 1 -- to use it in the sense that I meant it."* New Use For Cld Bachelors. The"man < haperon" is a novelty In London, and he promises to become permanent. Taking out a girl relative or child of an invalid friend is one of the hardest duties of the married wo man. It was a happy thought to turn the dull bachelors, long past their youth, to some use. The men. too. have been flattered by this easy re sponsibility. and they take honest de light in guiding the young misses through the London drawing rooms, theaters and all the rest. The plan might be tried in the United States if the comfort loving old bachelors could be tempted long enough from their clubs. To Protect Telephone Users.

The wild dogs in Africa are more feared by the natives than any other beasts, for, while they are not to be dignified by the term of game, they run in packs and seem to know that the native is afraid of them. Native burden bearers will often take their chances in passing around a buffalo herd and will hardly notice a lion, but when they hear the howl of the wild dogs they drop whatever they may be balancing on their heads and take to the trees. There they are frequently held captive until their cries summon assistance. Crossing the trail of large game, these dogs often interfere with the pursuit. At a distance the hunter Is likely to mistake them for leopards or some of the smaller game. Intense 1 disgust follows the wounding of a wild dog. for then, according to the ethics of the chase, the true sportsman must pursue and kill the beast. These dogs are not degenerates, but are natural mongrels. They have low bodies cov ered with hair of coach dog growth, bushy tails and powerful paws.—Mc- Clure's Magazine. But He Did.

I FISH WARDEN VISITS THIS CITY | Charles Holland, the fish warden I representing this section of the State was in Danville Tuesday in an offici j al capacity. Some one had informed Mr Holland ' that the canal here is fall of fish and | fiat many of them are dying. The | fish warden is obliged to investigate ail reports of stream pollution and he came to Danville to tee what coold be clone to preserve the fish. It is news to most people here to learn that there is any considerable number of fish in the canal. Last year a good n.nny catfish were found in the old ditch above Beaver street. It would be difficult,however,to prove that many of these survive. Large numbers, it is known, died in the pol luted and stagnant water. The fish warden Tuesday called ou a number of cur local fishermen and assured them that if at any time they desired to seine the polluted canal aud ' remove the fish to the river they would have full permission to do so; also that the fish warden would be on hand to render them all the assistance in i his power.

SODTH SIDE HAS 35 STUDENTS ! —— — i Now that it is settled that the south 3 side is to have a high school there is - curiosity to know how the withdraw al of so many pupils from the Dauviile i high school will a3eot that instltu -1 tion. * Of the fifty-five non-resident pupils 9 | who attended the Danville high school 3 I last year thirty.fiv e came from South ; j Danville and Riverside. An impres . sion is abroad that the employment of a | the additional or fifth teacher last e | year was made necessary by the large r number of non-resident pupils. Now 1 that tiie most of these pupils will be . j withdrawn the question suggests it p i self to many persons whether our b ! teaching force in the high school may - j not be out of proportion to the nuni | ber of students enrolled. i Borough Superintendent D. N. Dief i j feubacher was interviewed Monday, r He asserted quite emphatically that 1 : the withdrawal of the south side pn -1 i pils would not work any detriment to d , the high school as organized. 1 In the senior class last year were i j four students from South Dauville aud two from Hiverside. These graduated with the clasß. Remaining in the high school from South Danville were eigh j teen students,five Juniors,eight sopho mores and five freshmen. Remaining from Riverside were eleven students, t two .'nniors.six sophomores, aud three s freshmen. All of these weie given promotion cards aud would presom ably have returned to the Danville high school-had not a high sohool been established cn the south side— I a '°"g w:th half r. dozen or so of oth - , , froro Gearhart township and Riv j erside, grammar school pupils, who are eligible for the high school In all probability the unmber of non-resi dent pupils from the south side in our _ high school the next term would have been as great as last term. Borough Superintendent Dieffen bacher states that the number of pro ' motion cards relating to the high 112 school given out last year was lb2 and that this is the of pupils, , miunß the twenty-nine from the scutli side that were given promotion cards. . which n to attend the coining term. The number that re -9 niains is 15:; sufficient to give the five j teaohers employ ed an average cf I hirtv, I which is generally conceded to be a a school of abont the right size. Blooms bnrg, with a high school of approxim ately the same size as ours, employs seven teachers. Miltonjhas six teach r ers in its high school. In both Blooms burg and Milton the average number • of pupils under each teacher in the high school is abent tbirtv. r The borough superintendent expla n -1 ed that though thirty-five nou-resi dent stu :euts be withdrawn the work devolving oo the highf school teachers will be hardly peroentibly dlmini-he l | as the students In question were nit- , tribute 1 among all the clafses which i recited in the different departments, ; I twenty-nine daily. Trie difference, he I said, would average only abcut otie 1 studeut to a class About the only ones who will loße by the establishment of the high school ou sonth side are those tlieie whose children have begnn a course in the D.»iiville high school, especially if they are juniors or have tabi-u up the commercial course and desire to gradu ate. Such citiztns under the new ord er will have to withdraw their chil dren or pay lor their tuition :n Drl ville out cf their pockets. Picniced at Rolling (ireen.
