he said coolly. "YOu played it
once when You thought it to your
advantage. Now, God help you,

As he spoke, he raised pistol,
which we had not seen, and, before
we could stop him, aimed it deliber-
ately ut the trembling man and fir
ed. The gambler fell heavily upon
the table, Il corpse, and the bright
blood streamed over it, hiding the
fatal card from sight.

DROPPING FRIENDS

Some people have habit Of
dropping their friends of many years
upon the least provocation, as If
they were of little value or were re-
garded rather as encumbrances.
This is great mistake, the penalty
of which is generally paid in after
years. The following, which we
take from an exchange, is worthy of
being carefully pOndered by every
man, woman and child:
"reople who have warm friends
are healthier and happier than those
who have none. A single friend is
a treasure worth more than gold or
precious stones, money can buy many
things, good and evil. All the
wealth of a world could not buy u
friend to pay you for the loss cf one.
Il have only wanted one thing to
make me happy Hazlitt writes,
but wanting that, have wanted
everything And again, MY heart
shut up in prison OF this rude clay
has never found, nor will ever find
8. Leart to speak to- We are the
weakest of spendthl fits if we let one
friend drop off through inattention
or let one push away another or if
we hold aloof one for petty jealousy
or needless sight or roughness.
Would you throw away a diamond
because it pricked you? One good
friend is not to be weighed against
the jewels Of the earth"
1t is Il risky thing as we'll as
mean, to throw aside old and tried
friends for newsAes, of whom we
know nothing and who may care
very little for US.

1t is rumored that at one Of the
hotels in the northern sections of
Berks county the proprietor is in the
habit of blowing a tin horn to
bring together the people of the
neighborhood whenever candidates
for county offices visit him. A few
toots of the horn generally meet
with ready response, and the bar
room is in short time crowded.
AS there are one hundred and twen-
~ Democratic candidates for office,
il each one pays this hotel a visit,
the landlard will be able to retire
from business with a comfortable
fortune at the end of the campaign.

allowed to go free. In closing their statement
Gen. Lynde said that the committee had
found Comerford perfectly truthful in every
way, and that while in their presence he had
not been guilty of any improperly of Ian
guage or conduct of any kind. On being
given an opportunity to speak for himself, the
young man simply said that he thanked the
people of Brattleboro for giving him a chance
to prove his innocence, and that there was
nothing in his character or record which he
was afraid to have brought out.
From Comerford's own story, coroborated
by information received from Middletown
Conn, it appears that he is from an Irish
family of that place, of good character; that
he has not been professional tramp but that
being out of work he started out from home,
and had money enough to pay his fare most
of the way to No. Adams, and that from that
place. as stated last week. he started out with
companion to tramp to Kcone, N. II. At
present he is staying with, and at work for,
sheriff Estobrool1 of Guilford.
WHY AND HOW THE GILL DISASTER HAPPENED
Railroad Commissioner Briggs has been
investigating the washout on the New London
Northern railroad whereby three men lost
their lives near Northfield Farms this week.
The roadway embanlment at this point is
some 80 feet high and it is pierced by cul-
vert 81 feet in diameter which for 80 years
has served TO safely conduct through it the
waters of little stream. Tuesdays freshet,
however markeda height of ten feet on the EN-.
bankment and the culvert choked at its mouth
by Il rank growth of bushes was Inadequate to
