Reeder of Millersville, is, like his three special chums, a very busy man, and only once in a while does he steal time to meet them-- Dr. Martin Ringwalt of Roh- rerstown ; Dr, J. R. Lehman, of Mountville, and Dr. Jno. J. New- pher, of Mount Joy. These four entered upon the practice of curing diseases at nearly the same time. All of them attended school at Mil- lersville and three of them were schoolmasters before they became physicians. The stories they could tell of the adventures that befell them wkile they, years ago traveled Manor, Conestoga and the Hemp- fields on sparking tours would make very interesting reading for young men who need instruction in the art of courting. The number of people they aided when sick, are like the articles offered at public sale, “‘too numerous to mention.”” The num- ber of babies whose arrival superintended, would, if they were all to vote the Democratic ticket, overwhelm the normal political ma- jority in this county. Dr. Ring- walt and Dr. Newpher are cousins. Dr. Lehman and Dr. Newpher haye served their country as school di- they rectors, RN Donegal Springs Herman Drager is filling his ice housa. Lucy Cherry was on the sick list last week. Ephraim Shearer sold his tobacco one day last week for 9 and 1. Most of our farmers like to be told they are working too hard.

Beatty, auctioneer. : 0 CENTS AYE Edison's Shorinnana sped Thomas A, Edison, as is MPN, 19 very deaf. Perhaps owing to this or possibly to a playful pleasantry he has invented a sort of shorthand speech, among which is his greeting to the old? er hands in his shop and laboratory! When he sees one of tliese men, “Boo!” says Mr. Edison. That expression hag come to mean good moi'ning or gooc afternoon or good night. The laborato- ry men have picked up the peculiar greeting, so that when the “boss” ap- pears in the morning he is greeted in his own shorthand speech. It is there: fore “Boo, Mr. Edison,” to the wonder and bewilderment of the uninitiated. Attack on Norway’s Grand Old Man! Norway's “grand old man,” Bjorn- stjerne Bjornson, the noted writer, is in trouble, and the whole of Scandinavia is stirred up over a scandal involving the pillars of Norwegian society and political life, In 1885 Herr Richter, minister of Norway, after a bitter po+ litical fight committed suicide. That Richter's suicide was caused by political reasons no one doubted, and rumors were many, insinuating that either Sverdrup or Bjornson, the leaders of the party opposed to Richter, Lad had a band in the affair, In fact, it was generally talked of that Sverdrup, by acquiring possession of very compromising papers, had fore: ed Ricliter to self destruction. Sverdrup went to his death with that accusation still unproved, and it is the efforts of his children to elear their fas ther’s memory which has caused the \ V2 = BJORNSTJERNE BJORNSON. a present sensation—in advancing the remarkable charge that Bjornson and not Sverdrup was responsible for the suicide of the Norweglan statesman. Their charges are based upon the testimony of Mr. Richter's sister, who openly declared at the time that Bjorn- son. by his persecution of Richter, caused his death. The great author strenucusly denies the charges, although admitting his hatred, personally find politically, of Richter, and has brought suit against the children of Sverdrup. - The Final Meeting. Mount Joy Borough Council met on Mon- day evening, it being the last meeting of the old Council, and finished up business of the past year. The first meeting of the new Council will be held the first Monday evening in March, when the newly elect Councilmen, Levi N. Stauffer of the East ward and J. S.
