where he will opon a millinery store.
All that the banker knows about the

are not willing to hire a man to give
thorn lessons. That is about the way It
goes; people who can sing want to know
more about music, and people who
cannot sing, and think they oan, don't
want any person to teaub thorn.

In Bad Company.
A bear and two Italians Invaded this
town last Friday In quest of pennies and
nickles, but it did not take them long
to get through the town, and their
exchequer was not increased greatly by
the visit hero. If tho bear had been
alone '.t might have gathered in more
pennies, for their is hardly a boy or
girl, and some older grown, who would
not have given bruin a penny without
much ceremony had he been alono and
walked up and asked for money, but
when the bear was so careless about its
associates the pennies were not so
rapidly forthcoming.

ing, April "th, 1804. Tho funeral
services were held Monday afternoon
and his remains woro followed to tho
tomb by a long line of friends, among
whom were about seventy members of
the Masonic fraternity, as the deceased
was a Mason. Mr. Wilson was elected
an Associate Judgo of Jefferson county
in 1875, Ho had reuched tho three
score and ten mark in life's pathway.
He was an honorablo and esteemed
citizen of Punxsutawney, where ho had
lived for many years. Judge Mitchell,
who died last February, was nn Associate
Judge with John B. Wilson.
A Good Plan.
Rov. Johnson, pastor of tho Presby
terian church, has struck a novel plan
to got shade trees planted in the lot at
Presbyterian church. Next Friday is
Arbor Day and the Reverend announced
Sunday that any member who wanted
to could bring a tree Friday and plant
it, and the tree would be named for the
giver. This will certainly be a great
inducomont to get the people to start
a pretty grove back of the church.
When the trees got largo enough to
shelter people from Old Sol's noonday
heat it will be a pleasure, at least to
the people who planted the trees or
their friends, to walk beneath the out
stretched branohos of the Smiths, Jones,
&o. If all the members take a tree
that day the trustees will have to buy
another lot.
White and Black.
A white woman who appeared to be
Intelligent and was not bad looking
went to the A. V, R'y station last
Thursday afternoon about three o'clock
and asked Mr. Farrell, the ticket agent,
to let hor into the ladies' waiting room,
which is kept locked between trains.
She said she wanted to catch the even
ing train. It was not long until a large
well dressed negro joined her and they
stayed there until the 8.48 train for
Brookville, to which place they bought
tickets. The woman had a little boy
with her. They had a lunch with them
which they ate at supper time, but bo
fore partaking of the lunch the woman
went to a nearby hotel and got a drink
of brandy and after she returned the
colored man went for a sup of liquor.
Some people were uncharitable enough
to think the couple were eloping, not
withstanding the difference In color.
Such things have happened in this
broad universe. From wbenoe they
oame and whither they were going thoy
did not make known to any one in this
place. v ., , s
Too Cute for his Father.
Several years ago a citizen of this
place found two of his sons In a room on
the second story of their home Indulg
ing tn a smoke out of pipes. The father
Invited the hoys into the parlor, told
them to fill their pipes with tobacco
and smoke the contents, and if they
spit before the pipe was emptied they
would get a whipping. The pipes were
started and the smoke ascended to the
coiling In circles and otherwise. The
one boy swallowed the tobacco diluted
saliva b"ik1 ere long he began to got pale
behind the ears and gave up his pipe
and had pressing business on the back
porch. He was not sea-sick, oh, no!
but he had something akin to soa-slck-ness,
at least he felt as If he would
certainly die. The other boy, the
younger of the twain, was a little too
cute for his father. Whon his mouth
was filled with spittle and his father
was not watching him the boy would
pull his vest opon and empty tho con
tents of his mouth between his vest and
shirt and lot the juice trlnkle down his
side. By this cunningnoss he was able
to empty the pipe without swallowing
any of the tobacco juice and also escaped
a whipping. That boy has burned up
considerable tobacco since that time,
but the boy that got sick from swallow
ing the tobacco juice has not indulged
in a smoke since. If the father's scheme
had worked all right perhaps the cute
c'hap would not be smoking either.
Brass Bands.
Tho editor of the DuBois Courier and
the correspondent of that paper from
this plnco do not seem to bo of the same
opinion concerning tho Reynoldsvillo
Keystono hand and the DuBois Excelsior
band, each ono claiming tho band of
their town to be the best music produc
ing organization. We are of the opinion
that tho Reynnldsvllln Keystono band
could win the prizo at any tournament
if the Excelsior was the best band put
up against them, hut it is hardly worth
while to expostulate over the matter.
The better way would be to give them
a trial when tho band tournament is
held in DuBnls in Juno and let it bo
settled by enmpetent judges. The
Excelslnr is a gixid band but tho Key
stone band is a bettor ono, we verily
boliove. Tho lieynoldsvllle correspond
ent, however, is a trifle previous when
he says that if the Keystone band is not
awarded first prize at tho band tourna
ment at DuBois in June, "it will not be
by fair dealing."
What has become of tho Presoottvlllo
band ? This band, which is an excellent
ono, does not apcar as often on our
street as It did in days gone by. ' Come'
down somo evening, boys.
A Woman Tramp.
It is as common for tramps to gather
around coko ovens in the winter as it Is
for flics to annoy a bald headed man in
the summer, and there has not been any
dropping off in the tramp nutsanco the
past winter, but there was a little
departure from the usual tramps at tho
Reynoldsvillo coke ovens lost week.
A woman tramp, who could smoke a
pi)e of tobacco with her brother tramps,
spent several nights at tho coko ovens.
She would beg during the day and
hoard at tho coko ovens at night. Of
courso the world expects better things
of the gentler sex than to be common
tramps, but why not accord a lazy
woman the same privilege that a lazy
man enjoys, viz., beg for dally bread.
Wo venture the assertion that if women
would make it a custom to go from door
to door bogging as men do, they would
not get as many "good hand outs" from
tho woman folks as the man-tramp
does. That is ono of the strango
featu res of a woman's tenderness. They
don't liko to see a strong man go
hungry, but they could turn a woman
away and not worry about it.
Buried Yesterday.
Mrs. Frances Roa, mother of G. M.
Rca, died at the homo of her daughter,
Mrs. Abraham Fye, Sunday evening,
April 8th, at tho age of 86 years. Sho
hud boon confined to bod for almost
a year before she died. Her remains

performed tho buriul ceremony. Sho
had boon a member of tho Baptist
church for many yours. Tho deceased
was married twice. Her first husband's
name was Crawford to whom one son
was born, T. T. Crawford, who now lives
at Big Soldier mine. Mr. Rca was a
widower and Mrs. Crawford a widow
when they woro married. To them
for children were born, throe sons and
one daughter. Ono son preceeded Mrs.
Ilea through the gateway of death.
G. M. Rca was one year and a half old
when his father died.
The Star Appreciated.
If there Is anything an editor enjoys It
Is to have people pay their subscription,
which is an evldonoe that tho paper is
appreciated, but when a little note is
enclosed with the remittance, similar to
tho following, which we received from
Woshlnton, D. C, last week, the editor
fuels that bis labor is not all in vain:
"Enclosed find check for one year's
subscription for the The Star, which
is welcomed here every week. Its con
tents is devoured as eagerly as a fine
Thanksgiving dinner by a hungry
tramp. We almost fool when we read
it as though we . were still residing In
the city of Roynoldsvllle."
"I Want Two Items."
Some people got an Idea Into thoir
craniums that it is not muck of a job
to fill ono page of a paper with news
every week, and occasionally are con
ceited enough to say if they were run
ning a paper they would publish a paper
worth reading. Dear reader, if you are
one of those people, have you over tried
gathering or writing even a column of
news for a paper t We bolteve there
are very few people who nave any idea
how much manuscript It takes to fill a
local page of a newspaper. A young
lady of our town who Is well educated
and is in a position to gather news
without much trouble, was elected to
edit a little paper for the Epworth
League of this place, the paper to bo
read at the League at its semi-monthly
meeting. The first edition of the paper
was read before the League last
Wednesday evening, but the paper has
"gone begging" for a new editor. The
young lady can now appreciate an edi
tor's position. She racked her brain
for items, but items wore not so easily
picked up. Tuesday night before the
paper was to be read, the young lady
dreamed almost all night about items
for hor paper. One time during the
night she moaned and made so much
nolso that hor father went Into her
room and asked her what was the mat
ter, and she answered, "I want two
more items for that paper." Not only
were items hard to find but some people
got miffed at what was said In the
paper, which surprised the editress,
for she had no intention of offending
any person.
The young lady has no desire to enter
Journalism. Tho one edition gave hor
a sup of tho nectar that newspaper men
find in their cup continually.
.Stole a Family.
Larceny cases are not uncommon
nowadays, but stealing a family is not
so common. Last Tuesday whilo an
Italian named Gulsoppe Palermo of
Anita was at work In tho mines a fellow
countryman named Guiseppo Rolmondl
wont to his homo and stolo the first
named Italian's wife and threa children
and skipped with them. Palermo went
to Punxsutawney and niado Information
against Rolmondl, charging him with
kidnapping his three minor children
and abducting and running away with
his wife. The runaway party stopped
at DuBois whore an officer found them
getting ready to leave on the 1.05 p. m.
train west on the A. V. R'y. They
were taken to Punxsutawney whore
they had a hearing beforo 'Squire Wil
son. Wllllnra Falrman Esq. took
charge of the ense for tho plaintiff, and
although Rolmondl could not under
stand tho English lunguage to any ex
tent, yet Falrman mado him understand
that he must glvo up tho woman and
children Bnd pay costs or go to the
Brookville jail or he would bo hung.
Tho Italian objected to being hung, ho
did not want to give up tho woman nor
was ho delighted with tho thought of
going to jail. Tho parties compromised
this way: Rolmnndi was to have the
woman and two younger boys and pay
nil costs, whilo Palermo was to retain
a fifteen year old son, who was working
In tho mines, and tho little girl. Ro
mondi took tho woman and two children
and depurted for now fields.

A Oood Pitcher.
Alex. Whltehlll, an erstwhllo Rcyn
oldsville boy who started in with tho
Sioux City base bull club this season on
trlul, pitched for that team against the
Pittsburg team Saturday. The Pitts
burg l'itt in commenting on the game,
calls Alex. Whltehlll the "haysood
pltchor." Tho l'jjut says:
"If ever a pitcher found a harder row
to hoe to show what he can do in fust
company than Alex, had yesterday, his
name has escaped the baseball historian.
There was everything to crush the life
out of all ambition possessed by a young
man with inclinations toward tho
diumond. But Whltehill overcame
them all and landed his team a winner
by a score of 3 to 2. During the game
Pittsburgera tried all means to rattle
the country boy, but without success.
They might as well have howled at a
lump of ice. Tho Sims made thoir last run
by Alex knocking the ball along left field
fence for two buses and reaching home
oil a sacrifice, thus scoring the winning
run. Alex was greatly assisted in de
feating Pittsburg, not so much by skill
ful fielding or good hitting, as "by en
couraging words from the Soos."
