Mr.. Burdette remarks: "My son, there
are lust two things in this world that
don't know about, and you have just
asked me about one of them. don't
know why there is trouble and sorrow
and toll and poverty and sickness and
death in this beautiful world. / used
to know, when 1 was much younger,
but l find that as l grow older l don't
know great deal more than ! used to
know. l don't know why the best people
seem to have all the suffering and the
great sinners have all the fun. don't
know why innocent men suffer for the
wickedness of guilty men. don't know
why the man who cast the faulty column
in Pemberton Mills wasn't crushed when
the mills went down. can't see why
my neck should be broken in railway
accident because train dispatcher sends
out wrong order or a signal man goes
to sleep. / don't see why my neighbor
should be cursed with i'll health and
suffering Just because his grandfather
was a rollicking, hard drinking old
profigate l don't see why should have
neuralgia Just when want to feel at my
best. l don't know the reason why
some people starve while worse people
feast. Well, you say, wouldn't 1t be
pleasanter if all these crooked things
were Strengthened out2 Yes, oh, yes !

improvements at once. | would never
again have the neuralgia, for one thing ;
my boots would not run over at the
heels like an italic d; my pantaloons
would not work up, nor bag at the knees,
and my collars would not climb the back
of my neck, and my mustache wouldn't
keep waxed like bristle at one end
and out like satin ribbon at the other,
and-but there are some things to look
after. The little matter of day and
night l think l might manage for a
week, may be, but there would be an
eclipse or two to look after, with
occasional rain, some snow, q late spring
or an early autumn or capricious har-
vest time to manage; there are certain
movements of the sun and other planets
that have rather delicate relations with
the earth-come to think of it, my boy,
l have never yet been able to control my
own personal neuralgia. Now, you are
very kind, but will most respectfully
decline the appointment. l find on look
ing into the varied and trying duties
connected with the office that my bodily
and mental strength would not stand
the great tax that would be laid upon
them. While l am in the heartiest
accord with the Administration, and
wish to give it, and to the extent of my
poor ability do give it my most earnest
support and encouragement, yet much
prefer to do this in my capacity as q

were made at the Court House. The
clans were gathered early in the even
the politicians. The Republicans, Dem
oorats, and Greenbackers were holding
q joint meeting to discuss political is

one ticket for reelection, and John
Stokes spoke for him. Said he:
"Fellow Citizens: stand here with

ington and Jefferson to proclaim the
virtues of Gov Woodson."
When he had finished a grandiloquent
speech with this beginning he was fol-
lowed by old man Allen, who spoke in
a humorous vein and in a squeaky tone
of voice:
'Now, gentlemen, I am not any
further from the shades of jefferson

Gov. Woodson. Now, to be honest, old
Woodson saved my life once, but l
don't thank him for it bit. 1t hap

wedged in. couldn't get out. be-
gan to think of death and eternity.
Horror of horrors, thought 1. To die
this way is shameful; but the grim mon
ster stared me in the face. l began to
think of all the acts of my past life, OF
the crimes of boyhood days, the errors
of after years. l saw my poor old
mothers face, and her dying words rang
in my ears. I thought of how 1 had
wronged her by voting for old Wood

BE PA TIENT WITH THE LIVING

Sweet friends, when thou and 1 art gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need OF grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas by simply dying
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see,
Shall no defect discover,
Then hands that would not lift stone
Where stones were thick to cum5er
Our steep hill path will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber
Sweet friends, perchance, both thou and /
Ere love is past forgiying,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living
To-day repres5ed robuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, een when keenest edge
May whet a nameIeas sorrow.
'Tis easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamour;
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living
Good Cheer.

CURIOUS STORY OF THE DAUNTLEsS
PERsIsTENCY OF A FOX.

A curious story of fox's temerity and
persistence in the persuit of prey is re-
ported from the farm of William Bunnell,
who lives on the hill back of Big Canon,
on the line of the Lycoming Valley and
Pine Creek Railroad. Like all the To-
calities in Northeastern Pennsylvania
that nelghborhood has suffered greatly
this Winter by the raids of foxes on the
poultry yards of farmers. BunnelPs
flock of chickens had been reduced to
one hep- although. traps OF all sorts of
devices had been tried to foil the raids
of the foxes. A few days ago Bunnell
Event to neighbors to join him in fox
hunt which had been made up for that
day, taking his dog with him. He had
been gone but few minutes when big
fox came into the door yard, where the
last member of Bunnell's flock of poul-
try was feeding, and chased her pas

the back of the house, and into the

Mrs. Bunnell ran after the fox, carry
ing a clothes FOUNDER as a weapon.

and hid under bed The fox followed,
of the stairs the fox was coming out of
the bedroom with the hen flung over his

with the clothes FOUNDER, and the fox
retreated into the bedroom and went
under the bed, where he leisurely pro-
ceeded to make his breakfast off the
hen. Mrs. Bunnell made him "A prisoner

neighbors, reaching there before her
husband and the rest had started away
on the hunt. She told the story of the
hen and the fox, and the hunters return
ed with Mrs. Bunnell to have some sport
with Reynard. When they arrived at
Bunnells they found that the fox had
jumped through a window pane in the
room and escaped. Big tufts of his fur
were fast to the jagged edges of the
broken glass, and trail of blood lead
ing away from where the fox had land
ed in the snow showed that he had not
got away with whole skin. The trail
was followed four miles. Then the fox
took refuge in crevice in some rocks.
He was routed out, and the dogs soon
killed him
