IN MONTOUR
A wild excitement was spread among
the farmers in tlie noitheru end of the
county yesterday afternoon when the
word was sent out over the rural tele
phone from Jerseytown that a mad dog
had left there after biting several oth
er canines.
Nearly all afternoon the telephone
operators at the exchanges at Straw
berry Ridge, Exchange, Jerseytown
and Millville were on the jump. Many
people saw the an'.mal as it made its
way from Jerseytown north west to
within half a mile of White Hall and
thence to Ottawa. As each person
sighted the dog the telephone was used
to report the event ahead.
The dog was first seen yesterday
shortly before noon at the farm of Roy
Werkheiser, about a mile and a half
from Jerseytown, where Mr. Werk
heiser's dog was bitten. From there
the dog came into Jerseytown and bit
the dogs of O. P. Shnlt-z, J. J. Kram
er and John Pegg, making off then to
ward White Hall.
Between Jerseytown and Ottawa sev
eral pdbple tried to get a shot at the
animal but failed. At White Hall D.
R. Rishel's valuable bird dog was at
tacked and then the rabid animal laid
down in a shed win re Mr. Rishel lat
er put an end to him. When Mr. Rishel
found the dog he was frothing at the
month.
All the dogs bitten have been killed
or are penned up and being closely
watched. It is the intention to send
the dog's head to {the proper author
ities to ascertain if it really was a vic
tim of hydrophobia.

HIS TAPESTRIES.
Tha Gems the Collector Bought and
Showed to the Expert.
That the collector falls into a trap
occasionally Is shown by an episode
which we recall. All enthusiastic pur
chaser of old tapestries was once of
fered in Paris a masterpiece executed
on a large scale and held at a large
figure. Consulting an expert, ho was
urged to buy, but the sum demanded
seemed to him at the moment a good
deal to invest in a tapestry, and he
let the opportunity pass.
A year or so later he met his friend,
the expert aforesaid, and asked him to
come to his house to look at two tapes
tries he had just secured. "They are
smaller," he said, "than the one you
advised me to buy and which, to tell
the truth, I have always regretted, and
I paid twice as much for them as I
was asked to pay for that glorious
piece, but while It seemed a fearful
lot of money to spend I simply couldn't
resist the chance."
The specialist in tapestries walked
Into the gallery of the proud collector
and gazed upon his prizes. He gazed
for a time in silence and then had to
be very guarded in his speech of con
gratulation. lie was looking at the
original tapestry, which his friend
could have had for half the money,
now neatly cut In two and supplied
with borders. He never revealed to
the victim of this Ingenious little game
what precisely had happened.—New
York Tribune.
As Ever.
"Wheu Cliolly Vail liox proposed to
me he was too rattled to say a word."
"Then how did you kuow he was
proposing?"
"Oh, my dear, his money did all the
talking!"— Cleveland Leader.

The famous Antigua Mines of Faimillas, Sinaloa, first opened in 180G by the great Spanish mine operator, Miguel Felix, and now
the property of the Mexican Mining Association.
Association Stock is now selling at the low price of 5 cents per share in order to
provide a working equipment for these mines and to replace the milling and smelting
plant destroyed 'luriug the revolution. We cannot maintain this low figure.
The FAIMILLAS iLncs of the Mexican Mining Association are in the same district as the workl-fainous
Bonanza, Guaualui.-? n lc- I with over 100 years of continuous production, now working 1,000 men and
credited with a p ~:_:r i 0 t >* 100,000,000. In busing Mexican Mining Association at 5 cents sou
stand the chum: a of similar immense profits
The ASSCCIAT 1 N nc.v c-ts seven (7) large mines in Sinaloa, Mexico, upon which more than
$30,000 worth ;.f voii has be a doi.e, as follows:
PALMILLAS COXSOLiD- VfLD, consisting of three (3) mines—COLON, BALTAZARENA, and PALOS
DULCES, shippers of High Grade, and containing a large tonnage of milling silver ores.
ESPANOLA and MAGISTRAL two ( !) large copper-silver mines, the former well developed, and the two
forming a magnificent smelting proposition.
ROSARIO and TAIIONfIAS, the former a very large low grade gold mine, the latter a rich silver lead mine,
near enough together to be worked under one management
We believe that these SEVEN mines will be the basis for the greatest mining enterprise on the Western
Coast of America. Beadcs our operating department in Mexico, we maintain a selling organization in the
great mine buying centers of the world, London, Brussels and New York City.
Mexico has produced to date over forts-five hundred millions of dollars in silver alone, besides
hundreds of millions in gold , and is to be the great gold and copper producing region of the future. The
West Coast region, though barely touched as yet, has produced, according to our engineers'estimates, over
nine hundred millions. Do you not want your share of this immense wealth ? If so, the MEXICAN MIN
ING ASSOCIATION is your great chance.

IMPROVEMENTS
ARE UNDERWAY
No less than four establishments on
Mill street are undergoing repairs and
renovation at the present time, which
is unusual at this time of the year,aft
er the business changes have taken
place, and demonstrates that there is
a spirit of enterj)rise among our prop
erty owners.
Very extensive improvements are on
foot in the Krebs building recently
vacated by Harry Ellenbogeii and
which will be occupied by Harry
Wenck. Many changes have been made
to conform with the requirements of
an up-to-date pool and billiard room.
Counters, shelving and all the fixtures
have been removed. The large room
will be occupied by four billiard
tables, being set up by M. H. Sell ram.
The wood work of the room is being
repainted and the walls papered with
a thirteen inch satin-finished velvet
paper, Frank Startzel being the dec
orator employed. When finished Mr.
Wenck's pool and billiard room will be
one of the finest in this section.
The building vacated by Fred Howe
! and being remodeled by D. R. Ecknian
will bo completed by the first of May,
I when it will be occupied by Harry
J Ellenbogen, the tailor. When all the
| changes are made the building will
not be recognizable. In addition to a
brick annex, twenty-two by twenty
four feet, in the rear the room will
have a modern glass front and will be
finished throughout in the best style.
The work is progressing finely. The
frame work of the new front is erect
ed. The brick layers are practically
through and the plasterers have al
ready applied one coat.
S. W. Arms is painting the front of
Mrs. Geisinger's building next to the
canal, embracing the jewelry and
millinery stores of B. M. Davis. The
color selected is a dark green .
Lunger's five and ten cent store, Mill
street,is also receiving a coat of paint,
which imparts to it quite a stylish ap
peal ance. The color selected is red.

A TREATISE ON
POTATO CULTURE
A practical treatise upon potato out
turn is the latest aid to economic agri
culture by the State department of
agriculture. This "potato bulletin,"
which is for free distribution to those
interested in sucii work,is a handbook
of instruction for the novice in potato
growing or for men who have had ex
perience and wish to develop their
yields.
The author is E. A. Kogers, of
Brunswick, Me., who is described in
the preface by Secretary of Agricul
ture N. B. Oritchtield as "one of the
great potato growers of the Eastern
section of the country."
Eight years ago a bulletin on some
what similar lines was prepared by
Alva Agee, of State College, also a
leador in the potato industry, and
published as"a department bulletin. It
was so popular and helpfuW that the
edition was long ago exhausted, but a
reprint could not be issued because the
laws of the State forbid a second pub
lication of the same matter. This led
to Mr. Rogers being retained for pre-
I paring the present bulletin.
The luuuphlot consists of only sixty
printed pages'and one can familiarize
himself with'itjin a short time; never
theless, it contains practically every
thing essential to proper growing and
marketing most popular veget
able on the market.
As a text to his work, Mr. Rogers
compares Pennsylvania witli other
States in the matter of potato grow
ing. Maine is shown to stand seventh
in potato acreage planted,having llfi,-
000 acres under cultivation for pota
toes in 1908, while Pennsylvania at the
same time stood third with 277,000.
Maine, however, enjoyed an average
of 225 bushels to the acre,being at the
head of the list; no other State readi
ed 100 bushels to the acre. Pennsyl
vania had only 72 bushels to the acre,
standing fifth in this line.
"Maine witli her llti,oooacres plant
ed," writes Mr. Rogers, "harvested a
crop of 2(5,100,000 bushels,while Penn
sylvania with an acreage planted of
277,000 acres, only harvested 19,944,-
000 bushels,or, with ltll.OOOmore acres
planted, she did not harvest so many
potatoes by over six million bushels.
"That this is wholly or largely the
result of better climatic and soil con
ditions in Maine 1 do not believe. The
conditions in Maine one year with an
other may be, and probably are, more
favorable than the rule in Pennsyl
vania. From a thorough knowledge of
Maine conditions, I have been able to
compare them with the conditions I
have found in my travels throughout
Pennsylvania, and'it is my firm belief
that the attention given the cultiva
tion, with protection against insects
and blight,along with a crop rotation
suited to the potato itself, lias more to
do with tlie great difference in yield
found between the two States than
mere soil and climatic conditions."
The writer adds that in sections of
Pennsylvania where proper attention
to detail is given of more tlian :HH>
bushels to the acre have been obtained
and in one cast* the marvelous produc
tion of .">OO bushels to the acre was ob
tained.
These statements by Mr. Rogers
form the foundation for his entire
treatise. He then proceeds to handle
the whole subject of potato growing
in a compehensive way, including crop
rotation, selection of suitable soil,
with an eye to nndordrainage; pre
paration of the soil ami proper use of
humus; the several phases of seed pota
toes; planting the several sorts of
crops; proper selection of fertilizers;
cultivation; uses of the various in
secticides, and their abuses, sprayers
and spraying insects and diseases har
vesting and marketing the crop.
Not the least valuable feature of the
pamhplet are numerous illustrations,
showing how to do or not do certain
portions of the work.
Her Nationality.
When small Sigrid made her first
appearance in an American school,
says Harper's .Magazine, she was ask

of which was:
"What is your nationality, Sigrid?"
"Sigrid tossed her flaxen braids.
"I'm au American of Norwegian de
sign," she said promptly.

"You say you left the house this
morning and then went back. Don't

FOREST FIRE ON
MONTOUR RIDGE
Another forest lire, which threaten- !
ed to cause considerable damage broke 1
out on Montour Ridge near Harvey
Lamlierson's soon after tlie 9:07 D. L. ;
& W. passenger train,west,passed that
spot Tuesday morning. The fire was
suppressed in the nick of time, just as!
it was reaching valuable timber, by ,
George Bolford.flro warden, who rep
resents territory on the south side of
the river.
Mr. Belford assisted in extinguish- i
ing the fire at nearly the same spot
last Saturday night a week ago during
the absence of a warden representing
Mahoning township. Considering it
probable that his services would be
needed again he crossed the river and |
hurried to the scene of the fire. The
fire was rapidly spreading out over the
mountain side and there was no sign
of a fire warden, beside himself, being j
present.
The act of May 1!5, IS'O9, provides i
that fire wardens shall not be limit
ed in their jurisdiction as such to the
boroughs, townships or counties, for
or within which they maybe appoint
ed but shall have power and author- j
ity to enter adjacent or other bor
oughs, townships or counties, and j
there exercise the authority and per- \
form the duties conferred upon them j
by the act. In such cases it is provid- j
ed that the local warden if present
shall be in command.
Another provision of the act that all 1
would do well to bear in mind is that
when ttie fire warden is in need of
help in suppressing a fire and calls up
on anyone to render assistance poor
excuses will not go. If any persons re
fuses to help without a just and legal !
excuse, one that is satisfactory to the <
fire warden,he is declared to be guilty |
of a misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof may bo sentenced to pay a fine i
not exceeding fifty dollars, or im- |
prisonment not exceeding one month.
Mr. Belford met with some difficulty j
in obtaining help Tuesday and the ■
public may as well understand what j
it means when a fire warden calls tip- !
on them for assistance. Mr. Belford !
had only three men assisting him Tues j
day and they were obliged to fight ;
the fire four hours before it was got- !
ten under control.

Another Kind of Walk.
Ethel did not rush into his arms
and cry "Oh, Cuthbert!" as usual.
When he was ushered Into the draw
ing room she gave him the frigid eye,
uud the gas was kept on at full pres
sure.
"I've been studying pedomaney, <
Cuthbert," she announced.
"I'edomancy, pet?"
"Divination by the feet," she ex
plained. "l'eet that incline to flatness
are a sign of meanness, Cuthbert."
Cuthbert looked down at his No. 10 i
tans and sighed.
"A hurried yet silent walk," she con
tinued, "is indicative of criminal in
stincts. Your walk is so hurried, so
noiseless, Cuthbert."
"You are speaking of only one of my s
styles of walking. Ethel," he answer
ed brightly. "1 have another. I used
It this afternoon to walk into a jew- j
eler's shop and buy a SI .">0 engagement |
ring that I had hoped"—
"Oh, Cuthbert!" she cried, and the j
next minute the pedomaney expert and j
a splay footed youth were crowded ;

! they that they would have been taken
! for twins. They had 20 cents—lo cents
I apiece—and with this sum saved from
| pennies for some time back they were
j fioiug to buy a plant for mamma. One
I stepped out a little in advance of the
other when the door closed behind
, them. The other was shy. looking
| timidly, but confidently, at her sister.
The woman in charge of the small
shop looked up as the two mites of
humanity paused in front of her.
"Well?" she said encouragingly.
"We want to buy a plant," said the
little spokeswoman. Then she added
in order to avoid later embarrassment.
"The cheapest one you've f,ot."
"Ah," said the florist, going to the
window, "here is a nice little plant
for 25 cents."
The little sister turned quickly to
the other, but Ktill smiling bravely.
"Baby, we've just missed it a nick
el." she said.
Yet not three minutes later they is
sued from the shop bearing the plant
between them, and as the woman de
posited the two silver dimes in thr>
cash drawer her eyes must hav <
caught their gleam, for there was
something shining there.—New York

She Was Wise.
