CHICKEN THIEF
Elsie Walbnra, of Strawberry Ridge
R. F. D. "Nil. 3, ran down a chicken
thief oil Saturday and now lias liiin a
prisoner behind bars.
When Miss Walbnru visited her
Chicken coop in the morning she dis
covered that all that remained of three
young chicks were blood and feathers
scattered about on the floor. An in
vestigation revealed the tracks of some
small animal leading from the coop to
a boardwalk a short distance away.
Raising one of the boards in the walk
*he found the dead chicks partly de
voured, and while sadly gazing on the
remains a largo white weasel came
from another part of the walk and
calmly watched proceedings. Deter
mined not to let the thief escape un
punished, Miss Walbnru contrived a
neat, plan for his capture.
Stretching the mouth of a sack over
a hole at one end of the walk a lire
which furnished a plentiful supply of
smoke was built at the other end. In
a few minutes Mr. Weasel was a pris
oner in the bag. lie is a fine speci
men, measuring over two feet from
tip to tip, with about two inches of
black on the end of his tail. Fourteen
chickens have beeii killed this fall at
the Walburn place by minks and wea
sels.
THE AMERICAN WOMAN.
Her Position Here and Its Influence In
the Old World.
There is no doubt that tUe most in
teresting thing to the European who
lands on the northern shores of the
new world Is the American woman—
thut happy, victorious heroine of mod
ern feminlnism who has discovered
how to extract from the new condition
of woman all the advantages with al
most none <f the inconveniences; that
being who has known how to assume
the masculinity in all that regards in
dependence and liberty of action and
remain feminine in grace, charm and
altruism; that American beauty, that
American genius, whose wonders are
eeeu aud felt in all the American and
European reviews, whose writers de
clare her to be engaged almost en
tirely in severe study, in masculine
work, sport and similar occupations.
Europe, moreover, is right. The
American woman is not only one of
the most Interesting phenomena of
North America, but Is also the phe
nomenon of the new world that might
have the greatest and gravest effect
on the old, shaking on their founda
tions the essential principles of our fe
male instruction and training, over
throwing the society of the old conti
nent or continents, which rest to a
greater extent than is realized on the
untlque functions of woman in the
family and in society.—Ulna Lombroso
Ferrero In I'utnam's Magazine.
THE RACE FOR RICHES.
Is Wealth That Cannot Be Enjoyed
Worth the Price?
The writer once inquired of a very
successful man:
"When do you ever get a moment's
time for your own self—to be your
self and to think your own thoughts?
Do you ever get a time like that?"
The very successful man hesitated
for a moment and then replied:
"Why, yes, 1 get such a time while
1 am being shaved in the morning."
Is success really worth the price
when It must be paid for at such a
rate? Of what use are mansions and
country houses and great estates if
one has no time to visit them and en-
Joy their beauty? Why should one
collect through ag 'ots the most ex
quisite works of art if he cannot find
more than a casual half hour in which
to view them? What are wife and
children if you are nlways hastening
about the world, far too preoccupied
to give them any serious thought or
to receive the pleasure which their
company could afford you?
And yet there Is one sole satisfac
tion—lf it be a satisfaction. Millions
of your fellow countrymen and coun
trywomen will believe beyond oil
doubt that you are really happy and
•will envy you.- Munsey's Magazine.
Icebergs.
Apparently ice is ice. of course; but.
strangely enough, there Is a marked
difference iu It. Sea water and salt
water in general freezes at a lower
temperature than pure water. In doing
which a part of the salt separates and
the Ice when melted gives water that
is fresher than the original, and along
this same line there exists a marked
difference iu form between the ice
bergs of the two hemispheres. Arctic
bergs are of irregular shape, with lofty
pinnacles, cloud capped towers and
glittering domes, whereas those of the
southern waters are flat topped and
solid looking. The former reach the
sea by narrow fiords, while the latter
ore more regular in formation, reach
ing the open sea by tho way of wide
passageways and not subject to the
grinding and breaking efforts of their
uorthern relatives.—Pittsburg Press.
Why She Stayed at the Foot.
Being upbraided by her mother for
being the lowest in her class, little Ma
bel exclaimed in tones of injured in
nocence: "it ain't my fault. The girl
who hs»s always been foot left school."
—Delineator.
Hard on the Egg.
Fat Lady—Yes, sir; that's the beauty
of keeping fowls. If hever 1 run short
o' meat or I'm in a 'urry, 1 always fall

and your friend.—O'Reilly.
SIX MET DEATH,
SIX BADLY HURT
WILKES-BARRE, Jan. 12.
Five men and a boy were killed and
six other men badly burned by an ex
plosion of gas in the new shaft of the
Nottingham colliery of the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Barre Coal company at Ply
mouth last night. The men were en
gaged in sinking the shaft and at a
point several hundred feet below the
surface broke into a gas feeder, the
explosion following. All the victims
with one exception are foreigners.
The mine is not considered a very
gaseous one, and the officials are at a
loss to know why there was such a
large accumulation of gas ill the slope.
It is reported that the miners went to
their places before the lire boss made
his inspection.
The force of the explosion waster
rilic, all the men being hurled a con
siderable distance by the concussion
and their bodies badly mangled.
Spider Web as a Styptic.
A spider's web, an old cure for bleed
ing. is an uncleanly application, as it
is generally procured from the roost
neglected corner in a room and is con
sequently laden with dust. The ear
liest reference to this remedy in our
language seenia to be in a translation
of that curious encyclopedic work of
the middle ages "De I'roprietaribus
Iterum." where we rend. "Coppe webbe
that is white and dene staunchytb
blood." But as I have seen it applied
to a cut tinsrer It has been anything
but white and clean. There Is another
reference in Shakespeare's "Midsum
mer Night's Dream," when Bottom, the
weaver, says to the fairy Cobweb. "I
shall desire of you more acquaintance,
good master Cobweb: if I cut tny lin
ger I shall make bold with you."
As a styptic, however. It must be ac
knowledged a spider's web as some
what effective. In a case of excessive
hemorrhage after the extraction of a
tooth a dentist applied a cobweb with
most satisfactory results.—Hospital.
Military Rats.
An old military dictionary tells us
that rats were sometimes used in wat
for the purpose of tiring powder maga
zines by means of lighted matches tied
to their t.iils. We cannot offhand re
call any historical instance of this, but
presumably it did occur, seeing that
Marshal Vim ban laid down special
rules for counteracting it. Anyhow,
the dodge is as old as Samson, who.
you may recall, used foxes in a similar
way for a somewhat similar purpose.
As to the royal rat catcher, we may
add that he had a special official livery.
According to Pennant's "British Zool
ogy," it consisted of a scarlet costume,
embroidered with yellow worsted, in
which were figures of mice destroying
wheat sheaves. By the way. rats were
not the only animals honored with a
special catcher. Leicester, tor instance
used to pay a yearly salary of tl lis.
Cd. to its municipal mole catcher.
London Standard.
The Man-of-war Bird.
The frigate pelican, or man-of-war
bird, is usually met with by travelers
in the tropics. Although when stripped
of its feathers It is hardly larger than
a pigeon, yet uo man can touch at the
same time the tips of its extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex
ceedingly light, and the whole appa
ratus of air cells is extremely devel
oped. so that its real weight is very
trifling, it flies at a great height above
the water and from that elevation
pounces down on fish, especially pre
ferring the poor, persecuted flying fish
for its prey. According to some au
thors. the name of man-of-war bird
was given to it because its appearance
was said to foretell till l coining of a
ship, probably because the frigate peli
can and real frigates are equally ad
verse to storms, and both like to come
into harbor if the weather threatens.
Drinking and Smoking In Korea.
The Koreans are inveterate smokers
of greeu tobacco, which they use in
pipes with tiny howls and stems two
or three feet long. They stick their
pipes down the back of the neck when
not using tbetn.
There is a deal of drinking, too,
though they have tnauy proverbs
against it—"Heaven aud earth are too
small for a drunkeu man," "White
whisky makes a red face," "There is
no bottom to the appetite for drink."
Millet and"The Angelua."
It was only after long years of strug
gle and dire poverty, through which
Millet was consoled and supported by
his wife, that the peasant painter was
able to take the three roomed cottage
at Barbizon aud "try to do something
really good." It was then that he be
gan to paiut that most beautiful "poem
of poverty," "The Augelus," which is
today ono of the most valuable pic
tures in the world. Again and again
he threw aside the picture in despair
of ever finishing it to his satisfaction,
and as often bis wife replaced it on
the easel and Induced him to continue.
On one occasion he was so Incensed
at not being able to produce a certain
effect that he seized a knife and would
have destroyed the canvas and ended
the matter once for all had not his
wife fortunately seized his hand and
induced him to give the picture another
trial. Thus it was that at last "The
Angelus" found a place on the wnlls
of the Louvre. The success It won en
couraged Millet to paint many more
pictures and thus place himself among
the immortals iti art.
Police and Press.
It was Senator Evarts who paid this
compliment to the police of New York
at an annual dinner of the force: "As
compared with the press you exhibit a
striking contrast. You know a great
many things about our citizens that
you don't tell, and the press tells u
great many things about our citizens
that it doesn't know."
His Role.
"That man made an immense for
tune out of a simple little Invention."
"Indeed! What did he invent?"
"Invent? Nothing, you dub! He was
the promoter!"— Cleveland Leader.
THE JOSEPH
RATTI HOSPITAL
The growing popularity of the Jos
eph liatti hospital at Bloomsburg has
rendered it necessary that the institu
tion be enlarged. At the annual meet
ing of the corporation it was decided
to attempt to raise a fund of $20,000
in Bloomsburg and nearby towns for
the purpose of erecting an additional
building to contain four public wards,
two of which will be for male and two
for female patients. There will also be
fourteen rooms for private patients. It
is proposed to devote the present
building, with the exception of the
operating room, to administrative pur
poses. The old building will also con
tain rooms for the superintendent and
nurses.
The officers at the meeting were re
elected as follows: President, A. B.
Schoch; vice president, L. N. Moyer;
t reasurer,F. G. Yorks; secretary, John
G. Harman.
A committee to solicit funds through
out the entire valley will be appointed
in a day or so and will at once begin
work. It is believed that if the above
named sum can be raised, the state can
bo relied upon fcr SIO,OOO, which will
insure the new building and will af
ford sufficient means to keep the hos
pital up to the highest standard of
efficiency.
The Joseph Ratti hospital has made
a very fine record. During the year
there was a mortality of only four per
cent. It is also claimed that during
that time there were forty successful
operations for appendicitis at the hos
pital.
DANVILLE'S PART.
The time was when Danville aspir
ed to possess a hospital of its own.
The agitation,however, seems to have
entirely died out. During an interview
yesterday a physician of town stated
that he could not see that conditions
here warrant a hospital—considering
the cost of erecting a building and the
expense of maintenance. In view of
the high degree of efficiency attained
by the Joseph Ratti hospital and the
excellent facilities for travel between
Danville and Bloomsburg it was his
opinion that our town in the matter
of hospital accommodations is pretty
well fixed and that our citizens, if
they Ijave any money to spend in that
line and desire to appear really ap
preciative, can do no better than to
donate something to the Joseph Ratti
hospital as they will have an oppor
tunity to do in the near future.
It was learned yesterday that prao
*
tically all the time there are one or
more patients from Danville under
! treatment at the Joseph Katti hospital
and that at least twenty-five Danville
1 people are treated at that institution
j each year.
I The rates are reasonable, being Jl2
j per week for a room. For the wards
! the charges are only $7 per week. In
i some cases reductions have been made
to suit the circumstances of the pati
| out. The physician above quoted is
! authority for the statement that no
' person in need of treatment is ever
I turned away from the hospital even if
; without a cent of money.
CONQUERED HER RIVAL
Pretty and Pathetic Story of Jenny
Lind and Grisi.
Jenny Lind and Grisi were both ri
vals for popular favor in London. Both
were Invited to sing the same night at
a court concert before the queen. Jen
ny Lind. being the younger, sang first
and was so disturbed by the tierce.
) scornful look of Grisi that she was at
the point of failure when suddenly an
Inspiration came to her.
The accompanist was striking the
final chords. She asked him to rise
aud took the vacuut seat. Her fingers
wandered over the keys in a loving
prelude, and then she saug a little
; prayer which she bad loved as a child,
j She hadn't sung it for years. As she
j sang she was uo longer in the pres
ence of royalty, but singing to loving
friends iu her fatherland.
I Softly at first the plaintive notes
j floated on the air. swelling louder and
i richer every moment. The singer
I seemed to throw ber whole soul Into
| that weird, thrilling, plaintive "pray
er." Gradually the song died away
and ended In a sob. There was a si
lence—the silence of admiring wonder.
The audience sat spellbound. Jenny
Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look Into
the scornful face that had so dlscon
| ?erted her. There was no tierce ex
pression now. Instead a teardrop glis
tened on the long, black lashes, and
after a moment, with the Impulsive
ness of a child of the tropics, Grisi
crossed to Jenny Llnd's side, placed
: her arm about her and kissed her,
! uttering regardless of the audience.
Plan to Aid Mine Workers.
With the assistance of mine opera
tors the Young Men's Christian asso
j ciation in eastern Pennsylvania has
I begun a campaign to establish mining
j Institutes throughout the anthracite
j region. Bases of operation are being
; established at several points. One of
I the priuclpal objects of this movement
I is to afford opportunities to the for
i eiguers In large numbers who, for the
most part, aro untrained In mining and
J ignorant of the English language. C.
| L. Fay, the organization's mining work
] secretary, says that meetings held at
C'arhondale, Scranton, Wilkosbarre and
; other cities and towns have been uu
i usually successful. In the southern
j district the Philadelphia and Reading
' company runs special trains for em

all departments as usual.
The library was closed ou account of
a break in the boiler of the steam

than was at first thought. The old
boiler was entirely removed and a new

ttcLLl TUESDAY
Tw i MI j ii 'STS wire liei I at the court 1
house Tuesday afternoon to inquire
into the iii- ntal condition of two resi
dents of Danville who are incarcerated
at the hospital for the insane, each of
whom hold property anil whose affairs
need looking after. In order to give
the court jurisdiction it was necessary
that each be legally adjudged insane.
The first inquest was held before
Associate Judge Welliver at 2 o'clock.
The jurors, chosen from the regular
panel at court,were as follows: Curtis
Cook, William Blecher, George Bedea,
George liear, O. M. Leniger and Al
fred Litchard.
The subject of the inquest was Mary-
Stuart, a chargo of the Danville and
Mahoning poor district, who is pos
sessed of a small amount of personal
property and a pension of twelve dol
lars per month. Dr. H. B. Meredith,
Miss Wright and James James of this
city testified. William Ease West rep
resented the poor district. The jury
adjudged the woman insane.
In the second inquest which took
place at :s o'clock, the subject was
Russell H. Foust, the East Market
street baker and confectioner, who lias
been in the hospital since October 12,
I'.IOS. His property includes the store,
dwelling and liakeshop on East Market
street, a small dwelling and a vacant
lot on Cherry street.
Dr. Meredith in testifying stated
that Mr. Foust is incapable of doing
business; also there are poor prospects
of him recovering. He still has hal
lucinations and delusions, with no
lucid intervals. The attack came on
slowly, making its first appearance
nearly two years before ho was com-
mitted to the hospital for the iusauo.
Mrs. Foust, wife of Russell H. Foust
also testified. She described lier hus
band's condition prior to being com
mitted to the hospital as well as the
location and value of real estate own
ed by liim.
In this case also the patient was ad
judged insane by the jury.
The inquest was conducted by Wil
liam Chrisman, Esq., of Bloomsburg.

as he dropped his slice of bread in the
plate with a noise that set the canary
In the gilt cage overhead chirping mer
rily—"Ethel, I have something to say
j to you."
j They had been married only four
i weeks, and the time had not arrived
I when she did all the saying.
! "Do you remember the day on which
I proposed to you?"
! "Yes." she replied. "I will never for
! get It."
"Do you remember," he went on as
i he abstractedly drilled a hole in the
loaf with the point of a carving knife,
; "how when I rang the bell you came
: to the door with your fingers sticky
\ with dough and said you thought it
j was your little brother who wanted to
! get in?"
I "Yes."
"Oh, Ethel! How could you? How
could you?"
"How could I what?" she responded
as a guilty look crept into her face.
"How could you make me the victim
of such a swindle?"

"I hear you have had a misun
derstanding with your old political

understanding We nave expressed
our opinions of each other in terms so
explicit a* to he unmistakable."—
