town could apply its resources to
necessarypublic enterprises, without
being hampered by the opposition OF
parties not interested.
The people Of Millheim have no
reason to be discouraged. The
town has many advantages for busl-
ness, chiefly its central location,
and if times again get better, as
they certainly will, Millheim, will
surely arise from her lethargY,
loom up and become an active, wide
awake business town.
In passing through the valley L
saw that dwelling house, barns, out
buildings, school houses and
churches, with but few exceptions
appeared as if the rains had been
bleaching them since the time of
Noah's flood, and yet they are not
,rh,te. Penns Valley needs thous-
and barrels of paint to freshen up
her buildings. How very different
aud prettier did this beautiful valley
appear about twenty-five years ago,
Now it takes a good eye-sight to
distinguish many of the Ouilding
from mother earth. Painting seems
to be fast becoming one of the for
gotten arts in Penns Valley.
Aaronshurg is still blessed with
her wide street. If the people Of
that town were Yankees, they
would make that old burg 4 terres-
tial paradise. If the property hold
ers would fence up the vacant land
in front of the houses and convert
it into nice flower yards, with a good
side walk and shade trees along the
street, it would improve old Aarons-
burg vastly. Of course this is none
my business, and l only say i they
would do SO, it would be quite de-
sirable,improvement in more than
one respect.
Returning to Millheim again L
will say for the Old MILLHEIM Ho'
TEL that it is very good place for
weary and hungry man to stop.
Mr.. Musser, the genial landlord,
knows exactly how to make one feel
ut home.

good people of NIillheim and eSpeci-

4 REVOLUTIONIZING THEORY.


l heard the story applied loosely,
but as Jenkinson'S father-in-laW
tells 1t, it has more of point and pith
than in other cases. Jenkinson was
the man who entered the complaint.
He was young merchant, and had
married the daughter of an old mer-
chant, and said daughter was in
cIined to be headstrong and indie
pendent, plainly giving her liege
lord to understand that she would
be her own mistress, and do rs she
pleased.
Jenkinson regarded this rs an out
rage, and in the plenitude of his in
dignation he betook himself to his
wife's father and there entered com
plaint, deep and bitter, against the
fair recusant and, unfortunately,
in hls laundering, he more than half
! intimated that the girl had not been
brought up as she ought to have
been. But the old man betrayed no

A QUEER THING TO Do.

In 1862 Maria Nutting was a ser
want girl in Hawley, Wayne county,
Pa. She had an eventful life, and
in dying, short time ago, did
queer thing. In the year above
mentioned Maria married a man
named Samuel Helms. He was a
worthless fellow for work, and was
good for nothing in the world but
to catch rattlesnakes and charm
them, and travel with circus side
show. 1t WAS disagreeable sort Of
business, and Mrs. Helms didn't
half like the idea Of living with a
snake charmer. Shortly after his
marriage Helms went South, and
the wife heard from him no more.
Then Mrs. Helms left Hawley, and
no one knew whittier she had gone,
Helms returned in two years and
found himself wifeless. He resum-
ed his bent of catching rattlesnakes
in the wilderness of Pike county.
and exhibiting at fairs. He finally
drifted to Binghamton, n. Y,
where lie opened saloon, and there
learned that his wife WAS in Du-
buque, Ia, married to man nam
cd Wilson. Helms went out to Du-
buqde to charm her back. He
found her married and comfortable
with man OF property. she told
him that she thought he was dead.
Wilson gave her up, aud she went
back East with Helms. He was
more worthless than eyer, and fail
Ell TO do anything for her support.
She finally ATTAINED divorce from
him and went back to Dubuque and
remarked Wilson. He soon died,
leaving her several thousand dollars.
Mrs. Wilson went TO st. Clairs-
vile, Mimi, and settled comforta-
bly, on her money. A man named
Jennings-Well to do-saw her, and
would not let her rest in widow
hood. She married him, and they
had a son. Jennings died in 1878,
leaving all his property to his wife
and infant son. Last of all Mrs.
Jennings died, and the queer thing
which she did came out in this man
ner
The Erie railway train from the
West stopped at Lackawanna, Pa,
and stranger alighted. He asked
the first man he met:
"Is there any one here who knows
where Samuel Helms lives ?''
"Sam Helms the rattlesnake
charmer ?'' said one.
Yes"
"WeD, he's been dead these FIVE
years.
Then he has lost $500O," was
the reply. The stranger explained
that he was the executor of the es.
tate Of Mrs. Maria Jennings, who
died and left her divorced husband
the sum of 5000. 1t came too late
for Sam, but it showed a last kind
thought of his wife, who did not
like his trade anI could not live with
him for very worthlessness. The
infant Jennings of st. ClairsviIle,
Mimi, will get the $1,000 that Sam
Helms lost by dying to soon. But
it was queer thing for that Nut
ting woman to do.
