That was a beautiful idea, prevalent in
the Eastern countries that the new moon
was pairing from the fnger-nsn of God.
Lovers have been united, matches made,
good luck foretold and bad predicted, on
the first appearance of gentle Luna in the

as usual with good short stories and inter
esting miscellany carefully edited and
Handsomely printed. THE NEW Moon is
on sale at tie bookstores or a copy can be

1t sometimes happens when a nan is
burned out he finds that it costs as much as
his insurance comes to, to collect it. This
was not the case. however, with Ex Sheriff
John a. Blair, of this place, whose barn
was burned on the 9th inst Sheriff Blair
was insured in the -Etna of Hartford, and
on the 18th inst, Mr. o. f. Weeks of
Wilkesbarre, general agent for Pennsyl
vania called on Sheriff Blair and settled the
insurance by promptly giving a check FOR
1914 % without any ATTEMPT to shirk the
responsibility. Such prOmptness is com
mendable, and the 4Etna deserves the sue
cess it has attained.
