A reporter saw Mr.. Hostetter last

ted the fact that his mission In this city
was the furtheranCe Of the project so
dear to his fathers heart ho was plainly
indisposed to impart any facts.
II was gathered from his conversation,
however, that the completion OF the
road was now an assured fact, and that
through his influence the remainder ol
the Pittsburgh interest, which has been
the troublesome factor for so Tonga time,
had been persuaded to sign their names
10 the reorganization agreement.
There has been u disposition on the
part OF some persons outside the Penn.

South Penn matter unsettled long enough
TO compel forfeiture OF It's charter by
reason Of tho limit Of the time for III
completion running out. 1t Is now the
intention OF those having the project In
hand to do something definite, and with
tho list OF names now signed TO the reor'
ganiEation agreement, there seems 10 be
prospect OF the ultimate condition ol

signers OF this agreement are Andrew

Listening 10 the Mocking Birds.

A writer who has recently visited
the Bridal Veil Falls in the Yosemite
Valley. thus speaks of the hooking
birds found In that vicinity: millions
OF brown coated birds there were
everywhere, until the whole OF our
very nature seemed permeated with
their music. Sometimes low and
sweet, again sad and plaintive, and
then full, rich and triumphant like a
pecan OF Joy and gladness. while we
looked at each other in wondering ST.
lence. Just as 1t seemed that the mel
ody was unexpectedly sweet and that
our hearts could not contain more
without the relief OF tears or shouts,
the wind died away and the water
again struck with an awesome roar
into its rocky hollow with force that
made the earth tremble, and was again
dashed to furious foam and the song of
the hooking bird hushed. Thus it
goes on, ever and ever, alternately,
and has for ages. the song of the birds
and the thunderous reverberation OF
the cataract"

The Hottest Spot ON Earth.

The hottest spot on the earth is on
the southwestern coast OF Persia, where
Persia borders the gulf OF the same
name. For forty consecutive d ,ys in
the months of July and August the
thermometer has been known not to
fall lower than 1902, night or day, and
to often run up as high as 1889 In the
afte rnoon. At Bahrin, in the center OF
the torrid part OF this torrid belt, and
as though It were natures intention TO
make the region as unbearable as pos
sible. no water can be obtained from
digging wells 100. 200 or even 500 feet
deep, yet comparatively numerous
population contrive to live there, thanks
to copious springs which break forth
from the bottom Of the gulf more than
a mile from shore.
The water from these springs is OBJ
tanned by divers. who dive TO the bottom
and fill goat-skin bags with the cooling
liquid and sell 1t for living. The
source OF these submarine fountains is
thought TO be IN the green hill oil
Osman, some 600 or 600 miles away.

Getting Ready for Colds.

Doesn't it beat all how people will
begin TO muffle up their necks the
moment bit OF frost appears? One
notices this particularly while travel
ling on the suburban trains. People
who live in the country are to the man
ner born, and never bother with this
bundling up OF the neck and render
themselves liable to colds, but it is
your city man who has farm or place
in the country who comes into the
cars with a muller about his neck and
his coat collar up, or clasps on ear
muffs before it is scarce time to dis
card straw hats, and then he wonders
where he got that cold, and IL there
isn't something the matter with the
country after all. For he recalls that
he scarce ever had a cold of a winter
while in the city, but now has the reg
ulation winter cold. What a spectacle
it is to see bankers and brokers and
booksellers and business men gener-
ally hustling for their early morning
train, wrapped like mummies in their
expansive or expensive mufflers.

The earliest Druidism seems to have
admitted neither OF covered temples
nor sculptured images OF the gods.
Jupiter indeed, is said TO have been
represented by a lofty oak and Mercury
by a cube.
Delaware, which was settled in 1888,
was the only colony that Sweden ever
founded. But. after seventeen years
of seperate existence, New Sweden, as
the colony was called, was merged in
New Netherlands.
So famous was the church music of
the Irish at an early period that the
daughter of Pepin Of France in the
seventh century, is recorded to have
sent to Ireland for persons qualified to
instruct the nuns of the Abbey OF Nj
velle in psalmody.
In England about 1000 licenses 20
export corn were not infrequently
granted during that period; and though
there were frequent famines, they seem
to have been occasioned rather by I'M
toward seasons and warlike devasta-
tions than by defective husbandry.

administration that his father, ex-

by a singular coincidence, the day on
which they died was July 4, 1926, the

How the Lottery Business Was
Discontinued at Dodge City.
Dodge City was at all times rough
town. says the Washington Post, speak
Ing OF times ten years now gone. Bat
Masterson and his gang rode it rough
shod. 1t was useless TO interfere with
them. SO long as they ran a straight
game, but let any crookedness develop
and Marshal Deger was after the
guilty ones.
A crowd of sharpers opened q place
near the depot where they ran a lot
terry. They had stock Of watches,
jewelry, revolvers, silver and so forth.
The railroad men, cowboys and square
heads" as the Scandinavians were
called, were roped in to trying the lot
terry. A long box OF envelopes was
shown, each one containing number,
which number was supposed to draw
some OF the articles temptingly dis
played in the showcase. But no out
slider ever drew II prize OF any value.
Deger arrested the sharpers several
times, but the justice invari-
3bly let them off with a nominal fine,
and they Immediately resumed bust
ness. One day he walked in with
drawn revolver,
This sure-thlng game has been run
ming long enough" said he "Pve
told you SLOWS TO skip town half a
dozen times"
He put one OF his big arms under
the show case and picked it up.
"Tll kill every man that draws
gum" he remarked as he started TO the
street. They knew him, and, though
they swore considerable. not a gam
bier touched his pistol Arriving in
the middle of the street Deger drop
ped his load, and then, throwing his
280 pounds of flesh and bone on the
case, danced a wild Berserl1ir war
dance on it until its contents were de-
stroyed. Then he returned to the
room, kicked down all the fixings,
drove out the sharpers. locked the door
as he went out and put the key in his
pocket.
Nov, il you want TO sue me-" said
he, "go ahead l am man of sub
stance, and will pay any judgments you
get"
The sharpers tried to get the gam
blers to mob the Marshal, but his
"draw" and tremendous strength were
too we'll known, aud Deger ruled the
roost
