It ever a man feels justly honored i,
IS when, after 3 long absence from his
home, he returns and is met with some
public demonstration of the esteem in
which he is held by his fellow citizens
and is made to feel that he is respected
Such must have been the feelings OF
Rev. Alexander Berghold, when, or
stepping from the train on Saturday
afternoon. he was greeted with recep.
ton that was genuine and which he
might well feel proud of. It was gen
orally known at what time he would
arrive and the platform about the depot
was filed with a host of friends, anxious
to receive him, and for time enthusi-
astic hand-shaklng was general. Car
riages were at hand and the City Band.
which was in waiting, headed the pro-
cession through town. Ii was taken
part in By the st. Joseph's Society in a
body and by large number of citizens
in carriages. Arrived at the church they
were received BY the Sisters Of Charity
and the children Of the school, who had
prepared banquet. Here Mr.. Berg
hold attempted to give expression to
his grateful feelings but was too much
overcome to cover the occasion, which
was one that he will ever recall with
pleasant recol1e actions. s

0pie and the Butcher.
MARVELLOUS TRANSPORTATION seem
CAUSED BY A $3.50 CHECK.

Opie p. Read, the genius of the Ar
kansas Traveller, is so very excellent a
financier that he usually manages to
end each month little deeper in debt
than he began it. Yet nobody ever
loses by him. In some manner, though
his general indebtness keeps piling up,
he manages not to lot any individual
debt stand long. We shouldn't like
to be pressed for logical explanation
Of this paradoxical assertion, but it
seems, nevertheless, TO be true that
while his aggregate Indebtedness keeps
growing his individual debtors are
never permitted to lose anything.
One morning Opie came into the
Chicago Press Club rooms, where a
number of the members were seated
chattering Opie did not take part in
the conversation, but sat by one of the
open windows smoking his huge pipe
and evidently thinking profoundly.
Something on your mind, Opief"
asked one of the boys. 4
"Yes. My butcher is on my mind,
and he's the biggest butcher you ever
saw. If I didn't have ponderous
mind ] never could hold that butcher
on it. Look at me- said he, standing
up at full height, showing form
more than six feet tall; and massive in
It's proportions. 'Iook at me; I'm a
pretty big man myself, but, sir, as ]
came by that butcher shop this morn
ing the butcher was standing out in
front, and l walked right between his
legs. The top of my head wasn't as
high as his instep. should have to
reach up to unlstch his SHOE"
How much do you owe your butch
er, Opie y asked James w. Scott
the president of the club and business
manager of the Herald.
"a hundred and twenty dollars, sir,
said Mr.. Read. ..-t . -
That afternoon Mr.. Read sent q
check for $3.50 to Opie, saying it was
an advance on story he wished him
to write for the Herald.
The next morning, when Opie strobe
into the club, somebody asked:
"Has your butcher grown any since
yesterday"
"Grown! No, Sir. This morning
l walked into his place with $3.50 il
gold clinking and jingling in my
pocket" ...'
"Where's that butcher 7" l asked.
"LIere am,' said faint, timit
little voice that seemed to come ~
from the cellar.
"Where? 2" said L.
"Here, right here by your left foot
Don't move or you'll step on me-"
81 got down on my hands and knee
and examined speck on the floor. Il
was the butcher" '...

A Startling Discovery.

According to reports from Paris pub
lished in the Courier des Etats- U,sis
DR.. Brown-Sequard has formally an
nounced to French scientific body the
discovery by himself of what appears
to be an elixir of life as potent as that
which Bulwer dallied with in "Zanoni"
and Margrave used in ga Strange
Story" ...H t. ...
The discovery is of medicament
which, when administered by hypoder-
mic injection, restores the aged and
deorepid to youthful vigor and sets
lingering convalescents upon their legs
again, as so many nostrums are alleged
to do but do not.
We fail to grasp with clesrness
! whether DR.. Brown-Sequard hopes to
prolong human life indefinitely or not,
and probably his experiments have not
yet enabled him to express confident
opinion on that subject. But if his
elixir can make the old young again
there seems to be no satisfactory rea
son--barring ACCIDENTALLY anybody
who keeps his hands off the electric
light wires should cease to live.
At first sight the news of such dis
covery seems altogether good. 1t viii
remove the cemetery factor from water
supply problems, settle the crematior
question and exterminate the race o.
undertakers. But there are other as
poets of the matter which are appal
ling. The pressure of population up
on the means of subsistence Is very
great, though not 80 great as Mr.. Nal
thus anticipated, and if the safety-valv,
of the death-rate is to be shut dowl
this little world of ours is going to b,
very uncomfortably crowded.
| A more dreadful thought is that al
the Objectionable persons we know ar
sure to be the first users of the neS
elixir. Objectionable persons, as tn
reader must have observed, are the yer
tardiest of all human beings in dying
and as rule they obstinately refuse t
give up the ghost until it is too late fo
their departure to relieve or comfoi
anybody. Armed with DIR. Brown
Sequard's elixir they would never col
sent to die at all.
No, life is distressingly short and W
often wish for longer lien upon /
but the price exacted even for prolonl
ed existence, with youth and health fC
appurtenances, may be too high, an
unless a considerable proportion {
every mans acquaintances can be el
joined against the use of the new elk
,, the public will not regard DIR, Brow
Sequard as benefactor.-W World.

A Queer Bit Of History.
HOW THE BRITISH FLEET WAS THREATEN.
ed WITH A CowHIDE.

During the war of 1912 Montauk
cattle keeper gained signal victory
of the English fleet, then lying in Gar
diners Bay under command of Admi-
raj Hardy. Montauk was then a com
mons for the towns of East and South
ampton. The town people pastured
1000 or 1900 head of cattle on Mon
tauk during the Summer. These
cattle were in charge of three keepers
who lived about three miles apart. l
think the name of the keeper in ques-
ton was Pain. He conquered the
English fleet with canoe, a rawhide
and crew of Indians. 1t came thus
about:
The English had come ashore on
their boats and killed one of the cattle
in his charge. They wanted fresh
beef and they got it. Mr.. Pain did
not propose that his herds should be
ravaged with impunity. He armed
himself with a raw-hide. Next he
found an Indian. He impressed the
Indian with his rawhide and forced
him to paddle off to the Admiral's q
ship. Mr. Pain was hailed from the
ship and asked what he wanted. He
said he wanted to come on board. He
was allowed to come on board.
He was then asked what he wanted
He wanted TO see the Admiral. Wha,

care which had been slain by the Ad

ESTIMATING FLOOD LOSSES
WHAT THE RETURNS FOR LYOOMING
AND CLINTON COUNTIES SHOW.

A correspondent of the Press has
made an estimate of the flood losses on
the West Branch. Below is the result
of his Investigations
The dwellers along the West Branch
of the Susquehanna from Sunbury up
to the region round abOut Remove have
only now contrived TO get clear no.
tion of their property losses by the
freshet of last month. They put them
at $lO,O0O,OOO. The estimate is re.
gsrded as conservative, even low.
The great bulk of these losses will
fall on Clinton and Lycomipg counties,
though Northumberland loses much.
What the counties beyond Clinton have
suffered has not even been included in
this computation, which covers the
territory in which the flood wrought its
greatest wreck. How the counties will
stand the effect of these great blows, is
what none venture TO predict with con-
| fdence. A few business men have gone
under. Prudent people look for few
more failures, but they hope that with
the recuperative resources which the
region possesses, and with patience,
economy and extra exertion, every
thing will come out we'll in the end.
Men who lost the savings OF years in
the rush of water, and saw themselves
in an hour thrust far back in the race
for prosperity, were naturally for a
time depressed and blue. But the old
spirit begins TO reassert itself and all
about this region one hears men, who
only few weeks ago were in despair,
now unrolling plans, which they ere
confident will wipe out the past and
build them up once more. 1t is good
Sign. 1t is half the battle for recov-
cry.
THE CLINTON COUNTY LOSSES.
After dwellings and houses had been
put in such order as mi ght be when
the flood had gone down. and private
affairs had been adjusted there natur-
ally was wish to know what the ag-
gregate loss had been. The relief com
mittee, with Mayor George Mason, an
old Girard College boy, at its head,
having attended to the immediate needs
of the sufferers sent out all thrOu yh the
county blanks asking for return In
figures of the extent of the damage.
The returns, according to request con-
tanned in the form, were sworn to.
They were summed aud tabulsted by
S. d. Ball and G. d. Mccormick, who
comprise subcommittee.
| The report shows that the sworn
losses in the county amount to $500, 622

Perpetual Guests.

Buddhist priests, in order to confirm
the faith of the lower classes in China,
are in the habit or inserting into the
shell OF the young pearl oyster minute
representations of their deities, which
are, in process of time, completely Gov
cred by the formation of the shell, SO
that when it is opened, it contains the
features of the gods indelibly fixed in
mother. of-pearl.
Horticulturists produce similar last
ing effects on their plants. A gourd,
while young and green, is tied at GER
tain point with a ribbon, and when
hard and old, still retains the unnatural
shape thus given to it.
A few drops of drug are poured
about the roots of young plant, and
its flowers henceforth bloom with o
color unknown to any of its species.
Precisely the same process goes on
in a girl or boy in the formation of
habits, good or bad.
1'There is but one thing which time
cannot kill says Poyntz, "and that is
habit"
"Grace," said the old preacher Bas.
com, "can conquer the devil in you.
But your bad habits conquer grace"
No matter how trivial or slight the
custom acquired in youth may be
though it be but the mispronunoiatior
of word, vulgarity at table, or the
use of slang, it will come back in after
life, after years of schooling and strug
Cling with it, fresh and vigorous; just
as old men, in extreme illness, speak
the language of their childhood, for
gotten through all their middle age,
A habit of gentle bearing, Of low
pleasant intonation, of universal court
esy, is worth more to its possessol
throughout life than wealth or grea
talents. 1t smoothes ones way a

natural for him to be so.
A habit of prayer, formed in child
hood, though neglected for many year

The Wyoming Massacre.

DR.. EGLE TAKES SOME OF IHE ROMANCE
OUT OF THE STORY.
The lllth anniversary Of the battle
and massacre of Wyoming was cele-
brated at Wilkes Barre, July 8, by
large gathering at the monument at Fo-
rty Fort, which commentaries the mas
sacre. Colonel Charles Dorrance, whose
grandfather persisted in the fight,
opened the proceedings with brief ad-
dress. Mr. Philip Myers, of Brooklyn,
descendant of another OF the victims,
read a poem.
DIR. Fgle, the state librarian, read a
paper which caused consid derable fiutter'
In it he reviewed the massacre from the
standpoint of a pennamite as opposed TO
the view generally taken by the Yankee
settlers. He readextracts from dooum-
ents in the Statel4i5rary, showing that
this land had been set apart by Pensy-
lvania's Governor for the useof the Ind =
ians and thesettlement of it by emigran- :
is prohibited under heavy penalties.
Ia defiance Of this prohibition, however
the Yankee emigrants invaded the vail
ey and thelndians took up arms in defe-
nse of what was justly theirs. He
also accused local historians OF pervert-
ing and miss.ating the facts.

The figures are exclusive altogether
of the losses in lumber. Besides, the
committees, in their report, say OF their
figures: "They give considerable evi-
dence of the great losses sustained by
our people, but they come far short Of
the real loss, for we know that many
of our citizens who lost heavily have
not as yet made out statements of their
losses"
Gas matter of fact" said Mr.. Ball,
chatting of the matter, "those figures
represent in the main, at least as 10
Lock Haven, the losses of the poorer
people. Few of the more prosperous
and the rich filled in the blanks or
would make any statement at all. Per-
haps it was because they neither de-
sired nor would ask aid. From what
/ know personally, We might safely
double the figures here given as TO
Lock Haven's losses. In the remain
der of the county, also, immense losses
have gone unreoorded; because those
who suffered them did not care to fill
in the blanks. Whole stretches of
farming land have been ruined at least
for this season, and in places the de-
struction has been so complete that
property has been wiped out of exist
ence and the very face of the country
changed. What many of the farmers
will do these coming months is a mat
ter for serious consideration. The losses
in lumber-logs and manufactured tim.
bert rs thought by conservative men,
who have had years of experience in
the business viii amount to 100000
One firm figures out its gross loss, it u
said, at more than $50, 1000. Of course
part of the gross loss will be recover
ed. What the per eentage of recovery
will be, will depend altogether on cir
cumstances, and will, it is thought
vary from 20 per cent. TO SO,"
