The old nnd trite saying, "A9 the twi? is bent the tree is inclined," is only another form expressing the words of the wise man, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when be Isold he will.not depart from it." This truth may as well apply to the habits of reading as to the morals of the child. It is a duty of parents to provido proper reading matter for their children. As this habit is formed it is likeiy to re main fixed. A child allowed to read trashy books or papers will not be apt to turn to more solid reading as it grows older. The sensational and sentimental will still bo its choice and delight and instead of a mind stored with valuable and use ful information it will possess a ca pacity for that only which is trivial and morbid. Good books, of course, always, and next to them those great educators and informers, good newspapers, are essential. A child, aDd as well a grown person, should keep in touch with affairs in his own county and state, as well as with the general news of the world and its doings. Without decrying the value of any outside paper for Its county or locality, what informa tion does it furnish regarding the matters and things In your own county or community, of which you should possess a knowledge so as to act intelligently and for your best interests and those of your neigh bors. Put such papers in the hands of your children and they beoome Informed of events which are of no material concern or benefit to them. They remain ignorant of the things which it is important as citizens they should know. You can obtain such information only from your oounty papers. In supporting them yon aid in building np your own interests and yon advance the in terosts of your own oounty as well. What does it benefit yon to bestow your custom on people who pay no taxes in support of your oounty and who have no interests here except to obtain yonr dollars, which they spend elsowhere in adorning and bnilding tip places to compote with yours? Thus you furnish the means for your own undoing. This is not a selfish view. You expect your county papors to advocate home in terests first and foremost and to ad vance the general prosperity of your county and to do this while you are giving them no assistance or encouragement. You want them tip-to-date, newsy ; you are critical as to their oontents and appearance, yet you withhold your support and give it to their competitors outside. You want local mention made of your church fairs, you want the names of your frieuds and visitors to appear, good obituaries of deceas ed members of your families pub lished, your son's or daughter's wedding written up in excellent style, your neighborhood praised, and occasional mention made of yourself as a prominent citizen, and if you run for aa oHloe you expect to be lauded aa one able aud compe tent to perform all iU duties, you wish your wife to appear as a lead ing member of Bociety, your child ren as Uiiug especially charming aud bright, aud you want this read by people who know you, for out bidors do not care a rap whether ou are a dittiU digger, your wife a v :i.-.jj' A. il Ltfi. ; M I 1 iui l iiJI.'t 1 7T I .'-- ''ii' r Temple of Music at scrub womtui or your children hood lums and do not tnko the trouble to read the paragraph. Yet when it comes to supporting yonr home pnpor Oh no I you are taking so many outside pupors you cannot af ford it! ! Now, really, aro you that person, and do yon want your neighbors to know it V IT WILL MISS US. The Port Jervis Guzrtlr certainly locates the Delaware Valley railroad on the Jersey side. It says the sur veyors, who hava just been locating a line over there, duolnred "that the road was surely going to be built at once and would positively be on the Jersey shore." Well, thanK goodness, that won't deprive us of any oherished possessions. Here we have the Milford, Mata moras, Port Jervis & New York railroad, the Milford & Dingman, and the Milford, bark Swamp & Western roads running iu all direc tions. We are a great railroad cen tre and it won't matter mwh if we are not hit by another. We are terribly bothered now to keep out of the way of engines and it may be a real kindness on the part of the D. V. to refrain from putting us in more danger. The ladies of Pennsylvania may take cheer of heart ovor the census figures just published which show that there are 100,967 more males than females in this state. The dis tribution may be uneven but so long as they are here the girla need not despair. Took the Pledge. Here is an infringement of per sonal liberty whioh probably some would resent as tyrannical. Be cause of the colliery at Joddo being tied np by a pay day celebration of the men, 200 employes of tho Markle company were asked to take a total abstinence pledge last Thursday morning before they were allowed to begin work. Thoy took it for one year. Eventually, possi bly both for thoir own protection and the welfaro of thoir men, cor porations and employers generally may be compelled to enforce tem perance, aud it will bo a good thiug to do. Good races and sports at the driving park tomorrow afternoon. A. tj. Wallace spout a day in New York this week. Miss Lena Quick of Port Jervis is seriously ill with appendicitis. Jacob Pershbacker has sold his farm in Shohola to Ernest II Krnpp. Frank Iloyce has gone to Middle town, Ct. The Presbytery of Hudson will meet at Liberty next Tuesday. Simeon Titsworth, residing on lower Harford street, occupied the lock-up this week 48 hours for dis turbing the peace and for profanity. Senator Wellington of Maryland has been expelled from the Union League Club because of remarks made at the shooting of President McKinley. It is not quite healthy to express suoh derogatory senti ments just now. The organ fund society of the Presbyterian church is arranging' to have a large vocation put iu the church which, if satisfactory, will b) retained. They are said to be fur Buperior to a pipe orgau of com parative cost. Silas M. Sueloy of Itahway is vis iting his parents on Broad street. Gilford Piiichot, United Slates forester, arrived at drey Towers yesterday Buffalo Where President STORIES BY CHILDREN. A Little Heroine. It was the first day of September and the little village of Kenton was astir with excitement, for the new railroad on which the company had been working so long wns complet ed. The company hod also found it necessary to erect a bridge over the village creek, as the trains must pass in that section of the village. Now all was completed and tho vil lage could boast of not only a new railroad but also a bridge with an iron railing, which for months would be the talk of the town. In this village lived an old lady, Mrs Dalo. Sho had a little granddaugh ter, Fottio, whom she frequently sent for groceries to Hampton, a a town about two miles distant. On this bright morning Pattie started to tho town accompanied by Bruno, a big Newfoundland dog, who was with her on nearly every occasion Bruno always walked by her side but this morning ho appeared uuus uully frisky. Ho would walk se dately for a moment, then dnsh ahead, almost frightening Pattie, who was rather timid. "Come back, Bruno," she called to him several times, and Bruno hearing her voice stopped running and trotted along a short distance ahead of hor. Soon thoy came to a ourve of the road beyond which was the new bridge Here Bruno again dashed ahead never hearing or heeding Pattie's cry of dismay. Pattie walked fast er as Bruno dashed ahead of her but soon slackened her pace for she thought that since Bruno was deter mined to go ahead of hor he would do it and so there was no need of her trying to walk with him. So she walked along soberly for a few minutes, swinging hor littlo basket on her arm. She stopped suddonly and began to count the money hor grandmother had given her. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Pattie was now so busy that she forgot all about Bruno. Hearing a low whine of distress she remenv bored and dropping tue money back into the basket she ran around the curve, then stopped and looked about her. Where was Bruno? She couldn't sea him for a moment un til looking far out upon the bridge she saw something dark. Sho ran out on the bridge and tossing her basket from her, threw one arm around Bruno's neck. "What is the matter, Bruno," she said. Bruno only looked at her piteously aud Pattie was almost in despair when glancing down she saw what was the trouble. Bruno had startod to run across aud had almost reached the other side whon his foot slipped into a crevice between the boards of the bridge, and was securely hold there. The poor ani mal in his desperate efforts to re lease himself bad dislocated the bone in his leg and was now looking piteously at Pattie who gently tried to extricate him from his uncom fortable position. But seeing how useless was hor effort she sank down and began to cry. She want ed to be brave but could not help crying wiiou zhe thought how her poor dog must suffer. As slie sat there sobbing a long, shrill whistle rang out on the crisp air. Pattie sprang to hor foot bewildered for a moment, then the thought of Bruno's position dawnod npon her. Sue made one more desperate but vain effort to release him, then snatched her little red suubonuet from her head aud waved it fran tically in the" air. The morning trains were coining ; thoy must pass over the bridge if the could not stop them. If so, Bruno she choked a sob in bur throat as the thought of what must thou happen rose in her mind. Sho could already see the eiifino, and shouted desperately. Her voice was drowned in the roar of tho ti am, but she waved the sun- mjHIIH imip; 1 i 1 ii r SI'S 3T McKinley Was Shot. bonnet to and fro above her head. Would they never stop? Yes, the engine was slowly but surely com ing to a standstill. The next mo rn on t a harsh, grating sound was heard a the fraiu stopped, and the engineer springing from the engine approaohed hor, saying in a gruff but not unkind voice, "What is the motter, sissy? Why did you stop the train?" "Please, sir, Bruno " her voice faltered and she sank down on the bridge. The engineer stopped np to the dog ond stooping down examined him carefully. He then understood the matter as well as Pattie could have told him, and even better. He explained the tronblo to the passengers who, when they understood, crowded about Pattie and insisted npon her getting into the train with them and wait until she oould ride bank home. But she refused until two of the passengers had released poor Bruno, reset the dislocated bone in his leg and tightly bandaged it Then she consented to be placed in the train with Bruno, whilo the passengers loudly applauded "the little he'oihe," as they affectionate, ly culled her. One lady kindly of. fored to relieve her of her basket, saying she vould return on tho next train and, make whatever pur chose for her she wished her to, but Pattie dechited ..th,at she, '.herself, would go back in the afternoon and buy a few things for her grand mother. Sha.isoon. reached homo and thanking- the passengers with tears in her eyes for their kindness to herself and poor Bruno, she ran to her grandmother who, after hearing her story, always persisted in oalling her "Little Heroine." j Mabkl, THE CHURCH COLUMN. (By Key. c. E. Souddeh.) The topic for next Sabbath morning Is, "Heart Religion," and for next Sabbath evening "Temperance." Rev. A. J. Wheeler will preach in the evening. Next Friday evening the presiding elder will be with us and preach. An invitation Is extended to all to attend this service and hear the elder, Uev. J. It.. Wright. At the close of this public service the second quar terly conference will be held, A word about finances. It is much easier to push fiuances than to have some pushing you for inoney. It is easier to pay when you have money than when you do not. No one knows when you eon pay best as well as yourself. Do not exclude the financial obligations of the church from your religious life. A 25c. a year religion is for most men a poor kind. In nothing is it more true than in finances that when you owe, "Now is the accepted time" to pay. The financial condition of the church is a source of gratification to pastor and people but it is not yet ideal. Iu our rejoicing let us push forward to even better things. At Brown's Hull tomorrow, Satur day, evening there will be an illus trated lecture by the Ilev, J. A. Wheeler, entitled "Abroad with a Live Yankee." Mr: Wheeler comes to us most highly reoommen (led, and will give us an entertainment both funny and instructive. The pro ceeds of the eutertainment will be for the benefit of the Kpworth liengae. Mr. Wheeler Is to speak at the church Kabhtith evening on tem perance. Do not confound these two notices. The lecture is not a tem perance lecture. It will give us a delightful trip abroad for l!0c, while the sermon on Sabbath evening will be in the line of real gospel work and we hope will stir up our pure minds by way of remembrance. At the dor-o of the sermon Mr. Wheeler will illustrate his truth on canvas. He will show pictures illustrating Hie song, "Where is My Wandering li iy Tonight," an t other songs that have temperance sentiment in (hi in. President Much Worse! ! The reports up to Inst evening were Hint the Pres ident wiis rapidly recover ing and practically out of danger. lie took solid food yes terday and this morning at 9 o'clock it was reported tliat it had lind ii very in jurious effect and that his condition was verv critical. The country will await with feverish anxiety the result of this deplorable turn in his symptoms and hope and pray for the besv. The wedding of Miss Lillian Al- ford Wadsworth of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Mr. deo. Victor Wallace Pelz of Long Branch, N. J., Is an nounced to occur at the home of the brido September 25, 1901. The groom is a grandson of Mrs. Helen E. Heller of this town. Prof. Henry K. Beomer of Boem- erville, N. J., is in town this week attending to his business of piano tuning. Moth ur , "My mother was troubled with consumption for many years. At last the was given up to die. Then she tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and was speedily cured." D. P. Jolly, Avoca, N. Y. No matter how hard your cough or how long you have had it, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the best thing you can take. It's too risky to wait until you have consump tion. If you are coughing today, get a bottle of Cherry Pectoral at once.
