DAMASCUS.
Damascus, April 21.
Talking about poultry brings to
mind a good story that Freeman
Brown, tho Tyler Hill disciple of
Vulcan, tolls of his experience with
poultry. Mr. Brown says he has a
flock of Rhodo Island rods. Oho old
Biddy took it into her head that sho
wanted to do something for her
country, or perhaps her master, so
sho got broody. Her owner did not
want this sort of work, he wanted
eggs. But Biddy would stick to her
notion. He set her upon a bar post;
she sat as though that was the prop
er place to sit. He set her in a mud
hole; she stuck to her duty as
though she were In the easiest nest
that could have been given to her.
Then Mr. Brown took compassion on
her, went up to Pethick's store and
bought thirteen glass nest eggs,
made a nice nest and called Biddy's
attention to the collection, thinking
she would turn away in disgust.
But no. With a delighted cluck,
cluck, she got into the nest and
spread herself. She stuck to her
task heroically for the regular twenty-one
days, when lo and behold! Mr.
Brown says he had the surprise of
his life when he lifted his faithful
old hen from the nest and found
thirteen Green Valley pints under
her instead of the thirteen glass
eggs. Our informant could not say
whether they wero sealed or wheth
er the corks had been drawn. Next.
The first accident of note in the
history of Wm. Smith's new steam
saw mill occurred on Tuesday .fore
noon of last week. Mr. Smith was
not at the mill that day. The son,
Leon, sent the fireman, George
Drake, below to put the wood saw
belt upon the pulley. This pulley Is
on a horizontal shaft. At this point
most of the machinery is clustered.
This shaft is elevated about three
feet from the floor. In some way a
projecting key caught Mr. Drake's
clothing and in a twinkling ho was
going through space. When found
he was entirely denuded, excepting
his shoes. Even his socks were torn
off even with tho tops of his shoes.
He was found in this condition by
Leon, who had the engine stopped.
He was taken to his home nearby
where a physician soon had him in
charge. The findings were two brok
en ribs and a very badly bruised
body. He certainly had a miraculous
escape from a horrible death.
Otto E. Tyler, of St. Tammany
Flats, made us a very pleasant call a
few days ago. Mr. Tyler is one man
in Damascus who is not troubled by
middlemen in the sale of his lacteal
output. He bottles his milk and de
livers it every morning to a special
set of customers in Callicoon. This
means busy hours as the morning's
milk is cooled by the use of an
aerator and left at the home of his
patrons In time for their breakfast.
At the present time he Is getting six
cents a quart. It will be remember
ed that Mr. Tyler went through a
long siege of illness at the Hattler
hospital, Honesdale, last fall, from
which ho Is not yet fully recovered.
He keeps about 150 White Leghorn
hens, but Is about to supplant them
with Black Mlnorcas. He has pur
chased eggs of .the latter breed from
J. T. Bradley for that purpose. Mr.
Tyler said that at one time there
were nineteen Tylers living within a
small circle on the St. Tammany
Flats; now there are only two. Ho
is a grandson of the late Judge
Moses Tyler and has recently built
for himself a new home near the site
of his grandparent's old homo. His
wife Is a daughter of Captain An
derson of Callicoon.
Andrew P. Gregg, who is the mall
carrier from Galilee to this office,
was on the wagon last Tuesday for
the first time since last January. He
was taken ill at that time. Ho finds
that he is yet unable for the trip.
His son, Alfred, is acting as his fath
er's deputy. Mr. Gregg has been
awarded the contract for another
four years.
Ralph Tegeler, who has been ill
for some time, is convalescing.
STERLING.
Sterling, April 21.

E. Webster. Congratulations. On

stration of mixing, spraying and

Thursday evening and they expect

sume many ministers are on tho
"anxious seat" this week.
William FItz moved from Scran
ton last week and will occupy the old
homestead this summer
Tho P. O. S. of A. camp is taking
in a number of young men that

Deckard does not Improve as her
friends would like her to.
Mrs. P. M. Gillner appears to un
complainingly remain about the
same.
Mrs. J. D. Gilpin has been confined
to her bed for two or three weeks
past, but is now improving.

matism, especially In the right

can sympathize with them.
