The Scranton Truth has this in terestlug article in regard to John Blake, a notorious criminal: Ac cused of stealing the cash boxes from pay stations of the Bell Tele phone Company In this city, Wllkes Barre and Honesdale, John Blake, alias "Pool" Murphy, alias Joseph Kuhn, who formerly conducted a saloon in Philadelphia, is locked up in the jail at Honesdale. The pris oner is suspected of being one of three persons who have been operat ing in this part of the state during the summer, and have taken many cash boxes and their contents from the pay stations of tho Bell Tele phone Company in public places. Black is charged with larceny and is also held on suspicion. Blake is nearly fifty years of age, and was a prosperous saloon-keeper in Phila delphia twelve years ago, where he had a saloon on Passayunk avenue. The case against Blake was worked up by II. W. Haggerty, of Philadel phia, who is chief detective for the Bell Telephone Company. Tho lat ter company maintains its own de tective bureau. Detective Hagger ty and three other detectives have been sent into this section from Philadelphia for the purpose of rounding up the culprits. The de tectives have their headquarters In this city. They are confident they will bo able to capture Blake's as sociates, and have traced them to several points. Tho detectives also believe these culprits are the ones who have burglarized several offices in this city, as well as other busi ness offices. They are also suspect ed of being pickpockets. They are the slickest individuals in the busi ness, and have been operating dur ing the summer without detection. PERSONAL MENTION. Hon. F. P.

Open your hand and observe closely. You will notice in your hand, and in every hand you may examine, three lines very plainly marked. They are called the three vital lines, and are on every human hand from birth. You may distinguish them just as clearly on the hand of a lit tle babe as upon your hand. The deep line running around the ball of the thumb is called the Line of Life. It is clear and deep and red? Then you are a person of an excellent constitution, good health, and will live to a good old age. Are there small lines crossing the Life Line near its beginning? If so you had many short illnesses when a child; if there is no space or break in the Life Line near them, they are not serious. A break in the lines always means a very serious illness. If a break occurs in tho line in both hands, great dan ger of death from accident is shown. Branches rising upward from the Line of Life mean success in life; downward branches mean failures, or some grief or unhappiness; time determined by position on the line. Lines going across the ball of the thumb (Mount of Venus), and crossing the Life Line, signify im portant events in your life. A line plainly marked starting near the second joint of the thumb and run ning across the Mount of Venus and crossing tho Life Line, means a marriage. To determine whether the mar riage brings happiness, look at the little cushion directly under the in dex finger, or Jupiter. This little finger is called the Mount of Japl ter, and a little cross on this mount signifies a happy marriage. Some palmists consider the thumb to bo such a wonderful in dex that they claim to judge cor rectly from It, without seeing any other portion of the hand, tho men tal, moral, and physical traits of its owner. Each phalange has its sig nification. From the tip to the first joint is called strength of character, determination, will-power, etc., so we see it is well to have this first phalange well developed. The sec ond phalange represents logic, or reasoning power, and concentration of thought. The New Idea Wo men's Magazine for October.

Tho atmosphere in this hamlet and in Pike county in general is powerfully redolent of rattlesnakes and copperheads. The drouth has drafted the serpents from the dried out-uplands to the less-drled-out lowlands, and our citizens are har vesting snakes to beat the band that plays to the haying gang. The story of the snake harvest, told in plain and truthful and unfurbelowed words, would seem almost as Incredi ble as the yarns told over in The Bush and Tho Hook and The Basin by those ablebodied and powerful minded stoveside hunters and sports men who have so long rasslea with Truth and sent her shrieking to the tall timber. Blllee Padgett has swiped several rattlers, Mrs. Pad gett one, Mrs, Beck one, Howard Allen three, Sol Hazelton three, Sam Wilson four, Blllee Adams three, John Sawyer two, George Padgett one, Marty Qulnn two, Floyd Goodby one, John Davles one, Hawley Doty several copperheads and rattlers, Lalsh Hazelton four or five, and almost every man, women and child has killed five to ten of the harmless snakes, and still there is no visible decrease in our snake population! How many snakes are there In Pike county? That's not difficult at all. The average of snakes to the acre seems to be about like this: Rattlers 150, copperheads 90, black snakes 200, miscellaneous snakes of the harmless kinds 420. The county has about 900,000 acres, all fine snake preserve, and It is dead easy to arlthmeticlze the above av erage into totals, and the outcome shows the snake population of Pike to be about as follows: Rattlers 135,000,000, copperheads 81,u00, 000, blacksnakes .m, 000, 000, and miscellaneous snakes 387,000,000, a total of probably 783,000,000 snakes for Pike. This is going some! It indicates that no close season is needed to preserve our serpent population. As the human beings in Pike number about 9, 000, it follows that there are 87, 000 serpents to each man, woman and child in Pike. The recent Hor ace Greely once asseverated ora cularly that Pike contained 100 gallons of applejack to every spell ing book, and ten rattlesnakes to every Republican in the county. We flatter ouhselves that our figures prove Horace to have been very distant from base. The believers in "rattlesnake oil" as an infallible prophylactic for rheumatism and earache are storag ing oceans of the oleaginous ex tract of the defunctifled rattlers. The women folks say that the men folks are filling all their fruit jars, jell-glasses, pitchers, jugs, crocks, pans, pails and other vessels with the pesky rattler oil, and loading their closets, pantries, garrets, shelves, and swlngshelves with tho filled vessels, right now when they, the women folks, need the vessels and tho spare for canning peaches and other truck for the coming win ter. The owners of tho miraculous oil hold it nt ?1 per ounce. As there must be several tons of the oil In The Rift, it is pizen easy to see that John D. Rockefeller Is not tho only rocky feller who has hit it up high in oil. Mill Rift correspondent Port Jervis Union. Hiulsou-Fnlton Celebration.
