The most pitiful object in the world is a brave, ambitious young fellow made senseless and sour by unrequßted love.

Herb Fullenknmp. who was operated upon for hernia, and removed *o h!s home recently, is getting along nicely and will lie aide to sit up by Saturday, it is thought. Several years ago Irving asked this question: “What courage can withstand the ever-enduring and all-beset-ting terror? of a woman’s tongue?” It has never been answered. L. F. Schroeder and family were at Newville Sunday, the guests of the Fred Beiberstine family. Mrs. Belberstine who is a sister of Mrs. Schroeder fell down stairs at her home a few days ago receiving severe bruises. Walter Welcher, formerly of this city, where he was employed with the Erie engineering force, was a visitor here yesterday, bidding his many friends farewell. He leaves the latter part of the month for his home in New York City. The weather man predicts that within a day or two he will make the ground hog look like a nickle in his prediction of mild weather —in other words you will need a ton or two of coal before the May flowers come and you will need some of it tiiis week he Bays.

If an American merchantman Is sunk it will he for tin; express purpose of dragging America into the war.” The speaker was England’? best known and best loved sailor, Admiral Lord Carl Berresford. His name probably more than any other carries to Americans the picture of the typical British sea fighter. He is to an Englishman what Boh Evans is to an American. He made the above reply to the greatest question of the moment here, the one put by Americans a hundred times dally, “Do you think Germany is trying to force America into war?” o VAUDEVILLE AT CRYSTAL.

MATTER OF COMMON SENSE After Explanation, It Was Easy to Understand Why Eben Chore Eliza. All Norley had expected Eben Joyce of the Forks farm to marry Ellen Ivins, bis nearest neighbor on the South Fork road. Ellen was pretty, competent, well dowered, of suitable age—Eben was well past his youth—and It wns not believed that, if properly entertained, she would remain permanently averse to matrimony. When lie announced that he was engaged, not to Ellen but to Eliza Littletree, there was much wonder and gossip, for Eliza, although an excellent woman and housewife, was ten years older than he and of unalluriug voice and feature. “Eben, why did ye do it?’’ Uncle Ell Emmons at last inquired frankly, from the keg which Norley politely always left free for him, as the dean of the social circle of the grocery, until he appeared to claim it. Eben, slowly stowing assorted packages in his various bulging pockets, recognized the questioner as the spokesman of a public opinion naturally and of right concerned with his affairs. He was not offended. “I s’pose folks was some surprised,” he explained, amiably, "but ’twas nateral enough. Soon's ye reelly give your mind to It, takln’ all the circumstances into consid’ration, you’ll swing round to my p’int of view—see’f ye don’t. There’s the farm, plunk in the crotch of the Forks. There’s Ellen —and I ain’t got a word against Ellen; she’s a grand woman in her way —well, there’s Ellen a long mile down to the South Fork road. And a scant half mile up the North Fork road there’s Eliza. Some of ye’s married tnen, and some of ye’s wishful to be, and the rest of ye’s watched other fellers sparkin’, es they haven’t sparked themselves. Ye all know how ’tis. No matter how much sense a woman’s got, she’s a woman, and she’s bound to keep ye tendin’ out and dancin’ round and trottin’ to and fro for goodness knows how long before ye can bring her to a plain yes or no. It’s the way of ’em. It has to be stood. The best a man can do is to reckon his time and distance keerful, and that’s what I did. Eliza saved me a mile trudge, and a quarter of an hour time whenever I came courtiri’ her, by jest not livin’ where Ellen did.” "Gosh!” whispered the man on the cracker box, gently. He was the youngest present. “Eben,” said Uncle Eli solemnly—he wa3 the oldest —“I've done ye an injustice. I never guspioioned ye had an intellect capable of graspin’ details In seek an amazin’ and illuminatin’ manner. No, I never did. Ye’re a plumb wonder!” "Not at all, not at all. Uncle Eli,” said Eben, departing with a flattered smile. “It wa’n't anything but jest plain common sense.” —Youth’s Companion. Judicial Decisions. The New York Law Journal says concerning an English decision: “The English case illustrates the superiority of the English law to our own in that a prisoner may be found guilty but insane. This .English rule is preferable on many grounds, but its adoption is especially desirable here because of the form of the interstate rendition law. The difficulty over Harry K. Thaw’s escape from New York and the unsuccessful efforts for his extradition would have been avoided if he had been adjudged guilty but insane, instead of acquitted on the ground of insanity. A bill was passed by both houses of the legislature at the last session to authorize verdicts of ‘guilty but insane.’ Unfortuitately it contained an incidental clause to enable defendants to plead ‘guilty but insane.’ This would have furnished a subterfuge by which any person, although both guilty and sane, might escape the penalty for his crime, and for this grave defect Governor Glynn very properly vetoed the measure. It ought to be reintroduced in amended form in the next legislature.” Instructing th* Cub. When Fred Heiskell was city editor of the Arkansas Gazette a cub reporter turned in a “story” that ran like this: “Buck Seymour was seen with a two-inch auger going down the river road this morning. Wonder what Buck is after now?” “Here, young man,” called out the city editor, “this story is incomplete. We don’t print that kind of items in the Gazette. Tell what Buck was doing with the auger.” “I—l didn't find out,” the cub stammered. J “Well, I’ll tell you this one time. Plainly, he was going after grease fish. You catch ’em by boring a hole in the water and baiting the surface with dried prunes. The grease fish comes cut, eats the prunes and swells up so he can’t get back in the hole.” — New York Mail. Dam Is 351 Feet High. Work on the great Arrow Rock dam on the Boise river, Idaho, is approaching completion and could, if necessary, be finished within a few weeks, although probably it will go on for an- | other year. The dam will be 351 feet high, 100 feet wide and about 400 feet long at the baso and 1,060 feet long at i the top. It is of re-enforced concrete, of which 530,000 cubic yards have been used. It will store water to a depth of 330 feet. The back water will extend 20 miles upstream, making a lake containing 230,000 acre-feet of water. A thousand tons of steel have been used for the five gates.
