pathos." He stands among the first In
the lecture field in eloquence, logic and
diction. Geo. H. Ferris, New Haven,
Conn., says ; "He has something to say,
says it and quits. His keen and In
cisive style and his mastery of the art
of epigrammatic utterance are backed
by a personality that Is the essence of
eloquence. He possesses the true
oratorical gift. I have often beard him
when there would come over the audi
ence one of those moments In which
each man can hear his neighbor's heart
beat 1 I have never listened to him
when I did not regret the brevity of his
address."

Boy Killed While Coasting.
Tony Parlllo, an Italian boy twelve
years old, was killed near Adrian last
Friday evening while coasting on a bill
that the Jefferson Traction Company
track crosseB. Tony and two other
boys started down tbe bill on a bobsled,
Tony lying down and the other two
hoys sitting up. They reached the
trolley track just as a car was going
towards Punxsutawney and the motor
man could not Btop the car and tbe Bled
ran undor the car. The two boys Bit
ting on sled were knocked off and escap
ed with slight injuries, but Tony was
caught undor the wheels and was so
badly injured that he died In a few
minutes.
We have been expecting for some
time to have to write an article about a
horrlblo accident on the P. R. R. cross
ing In West Reynoldsvlllo, over which
boys ride on bobs and single sleds at a
fast snood. We have seen four or five
boys on a long bob come down Pike
street and over the railroad crossing at
express train speed, and if a train
should come along tbe coasters could
not save themsolves. Of course such an
acoident has not happened yet, but no
one can toll when such an aocldont
might happen. It Is a very dangorous
hill to coast on.

Ths Dialect Recital.
The Dialect Recital given last Friday
night In Assembly ball was a rare
treat and was worthy of much larger
attendance, In as much as tbe funds
derived from the entertainment were
for Hie . urgent need of the publio
schools. This cause alone ought to
bespeak a large sale of tickets at any
time, when, furthermore, tbe reciting
elicited such applause and appreciation
as to be favorably compared with hired
talent that has appeared in Reynolds
vllle at various times, the patrons and
Irlends of the public schools missed or
slighted a fitting opportunity of pro
moting a worthy cause.
As to the program Itself each number
was of a high order and no especial
person can be soleoted as being tbe one
upon whom most praise may be given.
Tho recitations were all in dialect and
were, therefore, all the more difficult
In the rendering, but each one spoke as
if he or she had recently come from the
old country. Much credit must be
given to tbeir trainer, Miss Beard, as
well as to the untiring efforts of Prof.
Smith. Tbe songs sung by the boys
and girls being excellent were deserved
ly encored. The talent of the Reyn
oldsvllle boys and girls Is not centered
In speaking alone, but also In singing
and the allied arts, which are accom
paniments of the former.
Such efforts of the pupils ought to be
encouraged in every way possible as
tbe results are seen in the other years
of school life. They also greatly tend
to give one an easy presence in after
years. Program as follows :

Some "Cides."
If one kills himself be is called a
sulolde, if he kills a brother he is call
ed a fratricide, if he kills some one who
Is'no kin he is a homicide, but if he
kills his town by sending away to buy
things that he ought to buy at home he
becomes the entire lot "cides" mixed
Into one. We wonder if people who
continually buy goods away from home
ever think of the tendency of this ne
farious praotlce They are helping to
kill the town in which they live by
destroying its business and lowering
tbo price of its real estate and driving
out Its population. Enough people
ongaged In this business will depopu
late any town in a short time. Big

How Not to Catcb Cold.
People are more likely to catch cold
In the back than they are generally
aware of, and If neglected may prove a
serious matter. Tbe back, especially
between the shoulders, should always
be kept well covered, and never lean
with your back against anything that is
cold. Never sit with tbe back in a
direct draught, and when warming by
