Harry, In company with another little boy of about his own age, was playing along Sugar Camp Run, which flows past the ooal company's works and empties into Stump creek near Hotel Sykes, when Harry tumbled Into the run, which, on account of the recent rains and melting snow, had been transformed from a placid stream to a raging torrent. Harry's little playmate started towards town to give the alarm, but the swift current bore Harry along so fast that he was carried through town before his playmate got there. He had gone through under railroad bridge near Palace Restaurant, under Main street bridge below hotel when his clothing caught on wire fence that is stretched across the run below the railroad bridge. Some men, who were nearby, pulled the boy out. Dr. Helghnelgh, of Troutvllle, and Dr. Wood, of Sykosville, happened to be near where the boy was taken out of water and they both began to work with blm, and after ten min utes of bard work succeeded in resusci tating the lad, who was apparently doad when taken out of water. It was a close call for narry. Had he remained in the water a minute longer ho could not have been resuscitated. The distance he was carried along in the mad waters was over one thousand feet, and he was under the water most of the time. From our regular Sykesvllle corre spondent. Patronize Your Home Merchants. The following from an exchange is worth thinking about: "Who sympath ized with you when your little girl was sick the other day? Was It your home merchant or was it Sears, Roebuck & Co? When you were raising money to buy a site for a new industry for your town, who contributed the most gener ously to the enterprise, John Wana maker or your home merchant? Who carried you last winter when you were out of a job and had no money? Was It Montgomery, Ward & Co., or was it your home merchant? When you want to raise money for the church or some needy person do you write to the "Fair" store In Chicago or do you go to your home merchant? How much does Slogle, Cooper & Co. give toward keeping up the sidewalks of the town or paying the minister's salary? When you were sick how many nights did Hlbbard, Spencer & Barrett sit up with you? When your loved one was buried was it Marshall Fiold & Co. who dropped a tear of sympathy and uttered a cheering word, or was it your home merchant? School Report.

If you have, an ax to grind don't trot up to a newspaper office and expect It to be the grindstone, motive power and all. Newspapers are not the medium In which to sottle personal grlovances. If you have a suggestion for the public good, the newspapors will receive it gladly. It you have something to say on public questions that Is worth while saying, you will not need to resort to unsigned communications to give it publicity. If you are afraid to stand up for your own convictions, either aban don them or cultivate more back-bone. The columns of a newspaper are always open to discussions of public affairs when the discussions are free from per sonal venom. Clarion Republican. The canning factory promoter Is gat ing in his work all over the country. A tew years ago he promoted creameries, which paid big money to only the pro moter, very fow of the creameries run ning very long on account of the luck of oream; the promoter having taken all the "cream" with him when he left for other green fields and pastures now. Like the creameries, the canneries are all right as long as they run and have a market for the products', and they can only be run when the produce raisers have sufficient fruits and vegetables to supply the factory. Punxsutawney News. Revenge la a sontlraont that cannot enter the breast of a good man. It Is narrow and snakollko. It ia inherited from the tiger. A rightly constituted man knows that every wrong act brings Inevitably Its own punishment, aud if be could look into the hearts of those upon whom bo seeks to lullict pain, he would see sorrow and worries and per plexltiea enough to transform bis hate Into pity.
