Sneak Thieves.
Much petty thieving has for some
time been going on about town, and
vigorous methods should be resorted
to to break it up. Some one recently
relieved Chas. R. Haselbarth of two
nice hams, chickens have been stolen
at other places, and Richard Newman
reports the loss by theft of some of his
singletrees, portions of harness, chains,
ete.
Mr. Haselbarth is pretty sure. that
he knows where his meat went, and
Mr. Newman blames much of the thiev-
ing about town on boys, who “swipe”
things and sell them elsewhere.
A fine new rubber door mat is report-
ed to have been recently stolen from
John J. Keim, and the same cut to piec-
es by boys and sold to a dealer in old
rubber. Brass door knobs have also
been stolen and sold to dealers in old
metals.
Dealers should not buy such things
from boys until they first convince
the dealers that the property was
not stolen, and the boy thieves should
at once let up on their stealing and
try to become honorable and honest
men. Otherwise the lads will in due
course of time become penitentiary
convicts.
Cannot be Scared by Owls.
Two of the newspapers located in the
Upper Casselman Valley try to insinu-
ate that because “Urie” Werner, of the
Rockwood Leader, takes a stand op-
posed to their views on the trolley fight,
that he was brought up in the woods.
Not knowing about the merits of the
case, we do not wish to butt in, but
would say, although “Urie” might be
brought up in the woods, he cannot be
scared by a couple of owls.—David
Cronin in Meyersdale Commercial.
Of course “Urie” isn’t afraid of owls.
In fact he is just about owl right, only
he needs a little fixin’ sometimes, and
we think the owled M. & 8. trolley
company “fixed” him, when that con-
cern should have been fixing some of
its just debts instead. In the mean-
time, let the hedge-whiskered David
take notice that the owls of the Upper
Casselman Valley need no information
from such a jaybird as he is, on any
topic. :

PA'S HOUSECLEANIN',
When the April sun’s a-shinin’ hot an’
things is nice an’ fresh,
When the willer’s droppin’ tossels an’
the blackbird’s in the bresh,
An’ pa comes in fer noonin’ an’ the
floors is wet as souse,
Then it’s “Laws a-massy on us! Your
ma’s a-cleanin’ house!”
Then me an’ Jim is sure to find rag
carpets in the sun,
When we’d planned to go a-fishin’ fer’
the suckers in the run;
But while pa takes his noonin an’ the
hosses eats their snackd,
Us boys can beat them carpets while
we're restin’ up our backs.
An’ then next day pa's certain sure to
have to go to town;
But he always leaves us orders, “Help
to put them carpets down.”
An’ at night, when he gets home again,
you’d think, to hear him groan
About the hardship of it,that he’d done
the job alone.
Poor ma! She has it awful hard, she'll
work until she drops,
An’ pound her thumb nails half way off,
an’ wet her feet with slops;
She’ll get so hoarse that she can’t speak,
; an’ sore at every bone;
But pa, he says if it was him he’d let
the house alone.
An’ when at night the kids is sick an’
has to have a drink,
An’ ma she can’t get up because her:
back’s in such a kink,
If pa should bang the furniture whilst
gropin’ fer the cup,
You can feel him gettin” mad enough
to fairly eat her up.
So me an’ Jim was sayin,’ if the time
should ever come
When pa an’ ma should change their
work an’ pa should stay to hum,
I wouldn’t like to be a boy, but just a
little mouse
To hear what things pa would say if he
was cleanin’ house.

A Church From One Tree.
A large Baptist: church that stands
lin the city of Santa Rosa, Cal., enjoys
| the distinction of having been con-
| structed entirely from a single tree.
| Of course that includes the woodwork
{of the structure. The tree from which
| the timbers, lumber and shingles were
cut was a giant California redwood. A
| considerable quantity of the lumber
| was left over after the church was
| built. The building has a spire seventy
| feet high, an audience room, a pastor's
| study, a vestibule and toilet room.
| The building is thirty-five by eighty
| feet.’ There are not many buildings in
| the country all the timbers of which
| came from a single tree.—Technical

She Was True to Charlie.
! Bert Kennedy, the English novelist
| and sociologist, in the course of a bit-
ter attack on the Senate, said in Wash-
ington: “The senate is true to the
American people. Oh, yes, very true
to them. Very true indeed. When-
| ever I think how true the Senate is to
the people, the case of Mary Miles
comes into my mind. Mary’s husband
was a soldier. A soldier out in India,
fighting for his King, and one day a
friend said to Mary: ‘Mary, are your
thoughts always true to Charlie, away
out there, fighting the hill tribes?
‘Yes, indeed, they are,’ Mary answer-
ed. ‘Whenever a man kisses me I shut
my eyes and try to think it’s Charlie.” ”
