FREELAND, PA., APRIL 19, 1894.
One of the pet ideas of the country
paper is it - advocacy of every scheme
or crazy idea to tax something or
somebody. Every whimsical proposi
tion to tax anything from book agents
to telegraph poles is dwelt upon at
length by the Republican and Demo
cratic papers, the free trader and pro- i
tectiouist alike. There is nothing but I
demagogerv of the cheapest kind in
this sort of talk. The town that sue 1
ceeds the best is the one that lias no j
bars up against anyone entering it,
but which has a standing invitatii n (
to the whole world to come and <*o <
business there. It is the city which j
exempis industries from taxation that 1
booms. It is the city that favors the
telegraph company that gets the best
service. A tax upon a corporation
and especially an unjust tax comes
from the people in the end because
the corporation must make them pay
it. Jfuzlcton Sentinel.
One of those "would-be funny" in
dividuals, a few of which can bo
found in every town, thought it would '
bo a good juke to see an article in the
paper stating that his neighbor's wife
gave birth to four children at one
time. Having conceived the "joke,"
he gave it out as a fact to a reporter,
and the paragraph appeared in the
paper in due time. The lady in the
case failed to see anything funny in
the article, and so notified the pub
lisher, who had the joker arrested
under the law which makes it a crime
to give reporters false information.
The case happened last week in Wil
liamsport, and if the publisher of the
tti will carry the prosecution to
the end he will earn the thanks of
every newspaper man in the state.
There are too many looso tongues in
every locality, and when they blab
their falsehoods to reporters they
should be compelled to shoulder the
responsibility.
A Washington correspondent of a
metropolitan paper expresses grave
doubts as to whether Cleveland will
sign the tariff bill now before the
senate, even if it should pass that
body. If all reports are true the bill
has been considerably altered through
the presure brought to hear upon the
finance committee by the Republicans
who are posing as Democrats. In its
present state the Wilson bill would
not afford much relief to the country,
and rather than have the name of
of signing a tariff' reform bill which
does not reform the tariff', Cleveland
might give the protectionists of his
own party a rebuke for their hypoc
risy and cowardice in failing to carry
out the planks of the Chicago plat
form. Whether the bill be signed or
vetoed will make no difference to free
traders, for tbo tariff question will
continue as the leading issue in Ameri
can politics until every vestige of pro
tectiou Ims been battejed down. Hill
and his braggadocio friends may not
like the programme, but they are too
small a tish to worry about. Let
them go where they belong—to the
Republicans.
No one would think that a genuine
straight-out free trade and single tax
meeting would be attended by more
than a few hundred peoplo in any
city these days, yet the Academy of
Music, in Philadelphia, was crowded
from pit to dome on Saturday even
ing to In iir Congressman Tom L.
Johnson, ol Ohio, Henry George nnd
other prominent free trailers. When
it is remembered that Philadelphia is
the greatest Republican city in the
greatest Republican state of the
union, it is all the more surprising to
know that nearly 5,000 citizens would
crowd into a building to applaud
while the principles of free trade were
expounded. This simply shows that
the rank and file of the Democratic
party are leagues ahead of the party
itself. There are today thousands of
Republicans in the L'uited States
ready to join Johnson and George
and then fellow believers in "equal
rights for nil and special privileges
for none," but they will not become
Democrats whilo Democracy is tied
to the skirts of protection. The
Democratic party will he false to the
memory of its founder, Thomas Jeffer
son, until it repudiates demogogues
like Hill, Brice, Gorman and the
people who believe with tliem and call
themselves Democrats.

* f / V) '• Glass, boss of

/ " W/ / was the |
- EL ***- first to finish, >
and, lighting
his pipe, he commenced to resale them
with stories of "the sixties, when j
Quartz hill was a honeycomb of mines." ;
Breaking off suddenly in the midst of
one of his favorite exploits, he smiled I
broadly and exclaimed: "There he 1
comes now!" indicating, pipe in hand,
with an oracular wave, a sturdy-look
ing young man coming down the trail
that led from Humbug City to the
mine.
"You all thought I bed been budgin'
over to Humbug, 'cause 1 coined in late
this morning; but I hadn't I'd jest been
attendin' a littlo before-breukfast mat
inee in which thet young feller there
played a solo part way up—erdown.
Youse know him mostly—lie's the ex
press agent what hangs out at Win
ning Card. Well, where dy'e spose I
found him this morning?"
"You shut up, Dan. Here is the
quart I promised you," said the subject
of Dan's remarks, coming up and hand
ing out a bottle marked "Egyptian
Cough Mixture, S. T., 1800, X.," which
l)au promptly appropriated and fondly
applied to his lips, his movements fol
lowed by six pairs of envious eyes.
"You can't keep it, so I might as well
tell the straight of it myself," contin
ued the young man, balancing himself
precariously upon an overturned wheel
barrow. "I guess you will laugh—Dan
did; but I ain't seen where the laugh
comes in yet. I may when iny hair
gets to laying flat enough for me to
comb, which it ain't as yet.
"You see, It was like this. I had
been over at Humbug, calling on a
female friend of mine at the Gold Dust
hotel, und the time slipped by so pleas
antly that when I looked at my watch
1 found 1 had less than an hour to get
over to Winning Card to get the bullion
out of the safe for the Silver Cily stage,
which passes about eleven o'clock.
You know how the road winds around
Quartz hill from Humbug to the Card?
—it's a good five mile, mostly uphill.
Well, I knew that I couldn't make it
that way, and as it was such a bright,
moonlight night 1 thought that I would
chance Old Ashby's trail over the hill,
which isn't over two mile. You know
Ashby's trail, Dan? That's the one
him and I)iek Dunn fought about, and
j he had to kill Dick."
"Yep," replied Dan, his eyes twink
ling with amusement. "I corned over
it break o' day this mornin', an'—"
"Never mind," broke in Hastings. "I
thought I could see well enough to
keep out of the IIOICB aud make pretty
good time, but that old hill's got an
abandoned mine every fifty foot, and
they run from ton to five hundred feet
deep. I don't believo there is a curb or
board over the whole blessed lot.
Well, I was making good time enough
until J came along to where 1 judged
the Bobtail extension was—a good six
hundred feet deep, if it's a foot —when
I noticed that the sky was clouding up.
In about five minutes I felt a chilly
gust of wind, and then it suddenly got
blacker than a stack of black cats.
Knowing where I was, and the danger
of stepping into the Bobtail, made the
cold chills play tag up aud down my
spinal colum. I slowed up, and for
awhile shoved one foot ahead of the
other until I begun to get careless,
thinking that I knew the lay of the
land well enough to know that I was
past the worst of it Suddenly, just as
I started to sing the first verse of 'The
Days of '4o,' 1 stepped on nothing but
oxygen—and I knew to a dead cer
! tainy that I was falling into the Bob
tail!
"If I live to be a thousand years old,
I will never forget the feeling of hor
ror that took possession of me. As I
plunged forward, 1 instinctively threw
"AND FONDLY APFLIKD TO HIS LII'S.'
I out ray arms, and fetched, breast up,
I against a piece of scantling—the only
tiling left of a floor that had once cov
ered the shaft—with a suddenness that
took away my breath. I hung onto
that scantling like grim death, for I
knew it was the only thing between I
mo and the hereafter; but 1 was limp
and nerveless from the shaking-up I
had received.
"After awhile, though, I put out one
foot and felt for the left wall—couldn't
reach it! Tried a little harder, and got
so interested in the operation that I
slipped my hold on the board, and
barely caught with my hands! I tell
you, my heart come up into my mouth,
and I could feel the cold sweat drop
ping from under ray cap and run
ning down my back. But I had
touched the side, and in doing so
knocked off a piece of wall-rock, which
1 heard go chinkety-chink, chinkety
chink, until I counted thirteen, then a
faint splash in the bottom.
"J was so weak by this time that I
could not wiggle one hand over Qie
other and make the side that way. vll
I could do was to hang on und yeil.
And didn't I yell, though! But nobody
heard me except a lonesome old coyote,
who came up and had a yell with me.
After awhile i made up my mind that
I'd got to go, and then I begun to think
of every mean thing I ever did in my
life, from drowning kittens to—well,
no matter what to—and the few good
things; they didn't take me long. You
can laugh, if you want to; but I ain't
going to drink any more; 1 can tell you
that, now!
"I thought of myself lying in that
black pit o'hell, starvingand mangled,
wishing for ideath that came so slow.
Somehow, that seemed all right—l
could stand that; but when I thought
of the five hundred dollars, Stage com
pany money, in my pocket, and they
advertising me as an absconding thief
—it was worse than horrible!
"It was about that time that I began
to feel around for the end of a prayer
or two that I used to know when I was
a kid, and as I repeated the familiat
'Now I lay me down to sleep' I could
see my old gray-haired mother away
down east on the old home farm in
Vermont—l could see her sitting in the
little low rocking-chair at the west
window, where, she wrote me she would
always sit as the sun went down in the
west, and give him a message for her
dear boy, to deliver when he smiled
upon him after she had gone to bed.
I could see father come in and hand her
the paper —the one I subscribed to
for her when I first came here.
I could see her dear old face flush
with pleasure at the thought that she
was soon to read a 'personal' about
'Our gentlemanly and efficient express
agent,' like they are always putting
in out here. The dear old lady
nervously feels about for her specta
cles, which she can never find, where
she has pushed them up on her fore
head. At last she bus them safely in
front of her eyes, and has smoothed
the ruffled gray hairs into place. She
opens the paper und stares hard at the
scare head: 'Stop thief! Where is :
Edward Hastings, und where, oh!
where is the Stage Co.'s five hundred
dollars?' I could see her read the in
fer aul black letters in a dazed way
then the truth—the lie, the black lie—
gather up her bruised spirit und bear it
away while her head is bowed in grief!
And—and I could see myself in that
hole, mangled and bleeding!
"I thought all this and more, too,
boys. A man lives a long time when
he knows that he lias got to die the
next minute. Then I felt my grip
slowly relaxing. I commended iny
soul to God, shut my eyes, let go and
dropped!"
The interest of his listeners was in
tense now. Even Dan's, hand shook a
"EXCEPT A LONESOME OLD COYOTE."
little as he took his pipe from between
his lips, and Hastings' voice dropped
almost to a whisper. Ho paused a mo
ment and added:
"Dropped—just eighteen inches!"
There was a dead silence for fully a
half a minute; then Grasshopper Jim,
"fm Kansas," got up, slowly wiped his
eyes with the back of his hand, in
spected the hand critically for a mo
ment and as slowly wiped it down his
boot leg, where it left a long damp
streak in its wake. Then he sat down
J again, looking fixedly at the express
j agent, and ejaculated, amidst the ap
proving glances of every miner present:
"Well, I call thet ther a shame!"
| The S. T. 1800, X., bottle was passed
from lip to lip, but no motion was
made to pass it on to Hastings until
Dan recovered enough to explain that
the story wus true in every particular
—that he could vouch for the most of
it. Hastings, in fact, had fallen into
the Bobtail shaft, and the only reason
ho had fallen eighteen inches, instead j
of six hundred feet, was because in
digging the mine the miners had found
after going down about six feet that
they were some four feet to the left of
the vein and had simply "shelved" and
gone on; and that morning, as he was
coming to work, he had found Hastings .
"roosting onto thet shelf," too weak j
from fright to help himself out!
Missouri Joe evidently had sifted the
whole matter through his mind and
was not satisfied with the conclusion.
"I s-a-a-y, Neddie," he drawled, "what
did you do when you struck bottom?
Did you finish that there prayer?"
Ned colored guiltily as he replied:
"Naw; you know I didn't finish the
prayer. What do you suppose I did?' ;
"Just cussed," suggested Joe.
"Sure!" answered Ned.
Cautious.
"Are you the proprietor of tins rcs
taurtmt?" said the man who had
waited for his order until he became
sleepy.
"Yes, sir. What can Ido for you?" j

One evening in Demerarn I onee saw,
during half an hour's puddling on the
Kssequibo river, about sixty of these
little fellows settling themselves for
the night. They huddled close to

like a Hock of sparrows, partly for
company and partly for warmth. Ono

BIRDS THAT THINK.
A Swallow Execute* a Sparrow with
NrutucM unci Dispatch.
No one knows how much birds and
dumb animals generally think, or if
they think at all. It is certain, how
ever that mnny dogs do seem to reason
out certain conclusions; and the most
remarkable incident on record, per
haps, of this with regard to birds is
that cited some time ago by a Mary
land paper. The editor, Mr. Iladda
vvuy, gives an account of this remarka
ble encounter between a barn swallow
and 1111 English sparrow. The swallow
had built its nest among the rafters of
the barn of Mr. Denny, near Royal
Oak, in Talbot county. While on the
nest the swallow was attacked by the
sparrow, and the two birds had a furi
ous battle, which went on sometimes
in t he air and somct inies on the ground.
The swallow was courageous, but it
had not the wind of the sparrow, and
finally ha 1 to yield to its antagonist.
Having driven the swallow from the
barn, the victorious sparrow took pos
session of the nest and contents. In
about an hour the swallow returned to
the barn, bearing in its mouth a bunch
of something r< oraiding long horse
hairs. The bird went directly and
noisele :lyto it n< threw itself on
the buck of the sj arrow, and before
that ic to.uislw 1 bird had recovered
Ir< in the shock cnusi !i y the sudden
and violent return of it vanquished
foe, 111 • * swallow put a horse-hair noose
around the sy>; rrow s neck, and some
