Kill DAY. fed. tir, 1010. The cilltor of n newspaper may blow n town sky high; It may soar In the rhapsodical flight to the stars, but If It Is without advertisers, peo ple say It Is no good, and they are about right. Dr Cook is now living at a little ' hamlet in Chili, South America, i Ioso to tho foot of Mount Aconcagua, ! which Is the loftiest peak in tho ' Southern Andes. It Is almost 24,-' 900 feet high. The Doctor may add to his numerous conquests, tho story of how he reached the top of this ' unreachable summit. Tho only salesman who will work for his employer day and night, when over there is an eye to catch Uim, Is a good advertisement. Tho hand bills that are " planted " in the sewer by the careless distribu tor, the signs that are painted on renecs, the bass drum and brass band that parade the town, are all out of sight and forgotten, when the buyers are nt home. We need more thrift. The aver ago American wage earner wastes enough in his youth to make him eomfortable In his old age. We should take a lesson from France in this respect. They know how to enjoy life and at the same time work hard and save money. They sufTer less from panics and depress ed times than any other people, be cause nearly every person saves something against a rainy day. The French schools teach tho children to save money, and the most frequent prize given in schools la a savings tank book with a small sum to the credit of the owner. If you have received a kindness, remember It. If you have dona a kind act. forget it. We know this la contrary to custom, for every day wo hear some one bragging how rauch he or she has done for a neighbor, and at the same time bewailing the fact that the action was not appreciated. A short time ago we heard a man bragging that lie had done a great deal for a cer tain woman in town. On being asked what he had done, he replied that he had let her do his family washing. If the truth were known, the fact would probably be proved that she did It at a mighty low fig ure. One of tho traits of a wide awake progressive town is civic pride. It is a good trait, for while sometlines it leads one into making slightly ex aggerated statements, yet In tho main It is a good, healthy feeling tor tho individual, and at all times onduclve to the prosperity and erowth of his city. It makes one Tlgorous In defense, and perslstont in undertakings; it is an incentive to industry; it makes tho individual contented and therefore happy. Be lieve in your town and talk your belief. If you have any old fogies remember they are in tho minority, and that it takes all kinds of people to make a world anyway. Encour age live people to movo in by inak tag it worth their whllo. Welcome outside capital in developing any matural resources the town has. Don't begrudge the dollars tho en terprising man makes, but hustle around and collar a few yourself. Above all "pull together," and tho town will ride the high wave of prosperity over tho most discourag ing breakors, and every inhabitant will cet his or her slmm nf tJm profit from tho voyage.

Doctor lllchard Gibbon HlB Keo. Hues For To collect his fco for professional services whllo In nttendanco on Wil liam F. Hallstcad, formerly general mnnnger of the Lackawanna rail road, who died February 23, 1908, Dr. R. II. Gibbons, of New York and Scrnnton, has started suit in tho United States court at Scranton, Pa., against' Col. L. A. Wntres and tho Scranton Trust Company, executors of the Hallstcad estate. Dr. Gib bons claims that ho mnde sixteen visits to Mr. Hnllstcad during his illness nnd performed two opera tions. Ho submitted a bill of $12, 500, which was chnrglng at tho rate of J7S1.11 a visit. The executors turned down the hill as being ex tortionate. F. E. Donnelly Is attor ney for Dr. Gibbons. Mr. Hallstcad was taken ill In Jnnunry, of an Infection of n big too and gangereno set in. Other troubles developed and in February, Dr. Gibbons, a lifelong friend of the patient, was summoned hero from Now York. Dr. Gibbons performed nn operation on the too nnd later performed a second operntion to nr- rest tho infection, ho claims.

His estate, which was valued at more than $1,000,000, was placed In trust with Colonel Watres and i.c Scranton Trust company, or which Mr. Hallstead was a director, and Mrs. Hallstead being named as ex- ecutrix. under Mr. Hallstead's will.

The executors filed a partial report i of the valuation of tho estate, tho report including items representing debts paid, but no mention appear ed in the report of Dr. Gibbons bill. For a year and a half negotia- tions have been carried on by the doctor In an effort to have the cxe- cutors settle his bill but no satis- factory adjustment could be reach- ed. As the Pennsylvania statutory limit nf tun vrara niinwoH fnr fi,o filing of the suit expired on Monday, Dr. Gibbons has begun the action to protect his rights in case further negotiations for a settlement should prove futile. Dr. Gibbons' fee of 1781.11 a visit, was, he alleged, his arbitrary fee, based upon his prlvilego of de clining to come hero from New York, as a specialist, to attend the pati ent. Had he been a Scranton doctor his fee, he alleged, might be con trolled to SjOine extent by the fee charged by other Scranton physi cians, but ns he was summoned from New York, it was right, ho contends, to charge any feo which he considered his services worth. The fee fixed upon is the highest ever known in this part of the state. RAILROAD SPEED INDICATORS. Eric Engines Are KeiiiK Equipped With Them Value of Invention. A few of the engines on the Sus quehanna division of the Erie rail road have recently been equipped with new speed recorders, which make a record of tho exact speed of the train at any moment. It is a device placed in the cab of the engine and connected with the Journal box. A long tape of paper Is placed on a wheel In tho machine and unrolls as the train goes along. A lino Is drawn on tho paper In this process showing Just the rate at which the engine is traveling. The stations are marked on the tape so that at tho end of the route by con sulting the record the work of the engineer can be determined. It also enables the engineer to know what speed ho is making. Tho value of this Invention will be found in cases of accidents as it will show how fast tho train was running at any certain point along the route. It Is expected that event ually all trains on tho Erie will bo equipped with these dovlces. NEXT MONDAY NIGHT. Nobody Should .Miss Swing 'The Soul Kiss." Something out of the ordinary is promised In the engagement of "The Soul Kiss," which comes to the Lyric on Monday, Feb. 28th, for an en gagement of one night only. "The Soul Kiss" was considered tho most successful comedy produced at the New York Theatre. The critics thero united in extending to this pro duction exceptional praise, both for the cleverness of its book and the tunefulness of Its music. Tho work Is tho point product of Harry I). Smith and Maurico Levi. Tho plot of "Tho Soul Kiss" is moro consist- vn t nnd rcasonablo than is usually found in musical plays and contains a number or novel surprises for Jaded theatre-goers. Tho music of the piece is written In Maurico Levi's best vein. Thero nro over n dozen tuneful numbers in tho piece. No ono can hear tho melodious music without getting some pleasure out of it. Altogether, "The Soul Kiss" Is sparkling-and vivacious enough to satisfy anybody. Centre of the Toy Trade.

TOP PRUNING OK TREES. An applo orchard that was start ed about tho year 1870, in Allegheny county, tho trees In which were prac tically allowed to grow wild for the past twenty-five years, Is being pruned this winter, considerable portions of tho tops being cut out As Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoolo gist, Harrlsburg, Is acquainted with tho orchard, having visited it some time ngo, his opinion wns recently asked as to whether It would be advlsablo to continue this topping of the limbs. Tho answer of Pro- ! fessor Surface was to the following I effect: " I distinctly remember your ap ple trees, and I believe that tho plan of pruning out the tops, and also cutting out the upper branches to bring the heads down. Is correct. I know wheru It has glvon good ro sults, and, consequently, I believe that the general plan enn bo car ried out with success. " I think, however, that in the case of your applo trees, which are standing in a pastured grass field, some plant food would bo advlsahln I Thy should have potash and phos- phoric acid, with a little nltrogon added. The potash can be given in the form of wood-ashes or kainlt or muriate of potash; the phosphoric acid in the form of dissolved phos phate rock, commonly known au acid phosphate, or as ground bone; and the nitrogen In the form of ! dressing with stable manure, or with trogen. For your trees, a mulch would be a good thing. This caa be in the form of strawy, stable manure or rotting straw or leaves with brush thrown over them, or, by waiting until midsummer, when bushes and brush are in full leaf. ! when these can be cut and thrown 1 around the trees as far ns th branches extend, or a little farthor. and this will make a very efflcient ' mulch. i " In our model orchard plan wo expect fully to outline the details of mulching and cultivating in ref erence to invigorating trees, so that they can be better able to with stand the effects of pests."
