TRUSTEES INVOKE AID OF LAW The trusteos of the hospital for tho insane held a regular meeting at that institution Thnrsday, the members present being: W. F. Shay, G. R. Van Alon, Dr. Detwiler, Dr. Harvey, Hon. James Foster and R. J. Pegg. The most important feature of the proceedings was action taken with re ference to the collection of money from counties and poor districts throughout the State representing a balanoe due the hospital for the main tenance of the criminal insane. As was explained in a previous issue the auditor general has rendered an opinion deciding that henceforth tho State shall not contribute to the sup port of the criminal insane but that tho whole amount of the maintenance of the latter is to be charged against anil oollected from tho several coun ties and poor districts, to which said criminal insane belong. It was ex plained that ou September Ist a hill was rendered the various counties and i poor districts at sl.To per week for each criminal insane patient, the amount that it was customary to col lect from them in the past. As the re sult of the auditor general's opinion, an additional bill at $2.50 per week, the difference between $1.75 and $1.25, the full cost of maintenance:, was rend ered the different counties and poor districts together with a full explana tion. It now develops that while some of the counties anil poor districts paid the balance without protest a much larger number take exception to the auditor general's decision and refuse to pay, until they are furnished with a written opinion from the attorney general. The auditor general has deducted from the hospital's statement to his department for the quarter ending August 81st, the amount of its claim against the State for the support of the criminal insane. Unless the coun ties and poor districts reimburse the hospital as requested ot them tho in stitution will be left with a deficit on its hands which will run into thou sands of dollars. In this emergency the trustees have decided to bring suit against the coun ties and poor districts that refuse to honor those second bills rendered, on, in other words pay the balance due for tho criminal insane. The matter was left in the hands of the solicitor, Hon. It. S. Ainmerman. who will forthwith lay it before tho attorney general. At the meeting <>f Thuisday the large surface sewer constructed by Clark & Hayi s was accepted and form ally taken off the contractors' hands by the trustees. » NRNTRVRMT j Hon.

This was made clear Saturday in court at Bloomsburg when the i president judge refused to impose sent ence although both Kelly and his part ut-i •fuiiu •)auies nan previously pieau ed guilty. Judge Evans will allosv their oase togo before a jury at the February term. The men told the judge in court the circumstances of the case. They said that they had bought the furnace from Mrs. Wright,but that when they went to get it there was no one at home. They went into the cellar and took tin stove apart, loaded it on their wagon and took it to a scales to have it weighed and then brought it to Dan ville and sold it, intending to settle with Mrs. Wright later. Instead they spent the money for liquor. They were working to earn money to pay Mr*. Wright when thev were arrested for larceny. Judge Evans does not think the laets warrant u charge of larceny, and said the men should not have been allowed to plead guilty.

Some people would de stroy Kris Kingle aud eliminate every element of surprise from the festivi ties. Fortunatoly these theories are limited. Modern childhood needs more, not less, of the helpful stimulus of pure imagination. In a prosaic and materialistic age childhood is being robbed of its dreams aud its sweet mysteries in which the fancy reveled. A generation is growing up around us which is proudly referred to some times as "hard-headed, sensible, you can't-fool-me boys and girls." Instead of a blessing this condition is a subject for the keenest, distress. Without im agination, without a reverence for the mysteries and beneficial forces that are supposed to lie outside the ken of mortal understanding, tho child is en tering life robbed of one of the most useful and ennobling faculties of the human mind. The legends that feed the imagination and s'ir the soul r.f j childhood; the fancie. that people the | world with beneficent creature*, and . the faith that listens for the rustle of | an augel's wing in the stillu --- of the night, are mental forces that a later life comfort, sustain and strengthen the weary and discouraged man or wo man in tho battle against seen and un sei n foes. j Lor the children set the pace for j v air Christmas preparations. liepre j sent to them in the character and j spirit of your purchases andy, nr sift | giving something of the old fancies i and legends of the season.
