A Mascot.

On December 31st a quail flew into
the Office Of ]. D. Spreckels & Bros, and
was captured by the clerks, who having
faith in it as a mascot, desired to keep it
in the office. Mr.. John Spreckels, moth
ing 10th, procured cage for the bird,
which being of the female persuasion
and necessarily lonely without a mate,
was not only comfortably housed by its
new master, but mate was found for
it, and the pair now dwell happily in the
Office, quietly supervising the whole of
the vast business and bringing the house
good fortune. Not long after, the Relief
picked up the State of California, when
chartered tugs and Revenue cutter were
unable to sight her. Wednesday night
the Relief was on hand to get the ship
Sterling out of her trouble when no other
tug was around, and if Mr.. Spreckels or
any one connected with his office, is con-
graduated upon the good fortune attend
ing the tugs, they one and all take it as
a matter of course that the firm should
enjoy such fortune, for they have mas
cot kept for that special purpose Com

The stockholders of the Lehigh Val

ing Tuesday morning elected the following
board of directors: VIM. Lilly, VIM. Stroh,
B. f. Hofford, E. V. Wingard, j. G. Zern,
W. H. Butler and Lee Wills. The board
in turn made VIM. Lilly, president, and
Lee Wills secretary and treasurer. A re-
port of the business of the past year to-
gether with the progress made on the new
virtifying process wheel was presented and
ELECTED lively discussion. 1t was decided
however that the experiments be continued
and to this end new kilns will be built and
an experienced man specially employed.
During the past year the company has
held its own, though the trade generally
has suffered, there being numerous fail
ures all over the country, due entirely to
unhealthy competition and the persistency
to cut prices by the inexperienced in the
trade. The Lehigh company has pushed
Its experiments at great cost, safely wealth

first class financial condition, due entirely
to judicious management. The new pro-
cess wheel is the wheel of the future, and if
experiments now making with the Lehigh
company result successfully the future
holds mu h for them. They still hold a
large trade at steady prices and enjoy the
confidence of dealers which is more than
can be said OF many concerns who at
tempt TO weather the trade with poor

Through her conferees Carbon frittered

The right of a candidate to select dele

but the attempt to control them in the in
terest of others is all wrong. The delegate
who permits himself to be ''puppet" does
not deserve recognition. The object of
convention is to select as nominees, men
who will truly represent the best interests
of the county.
How very careful the girls of any com
munity should be in the selection Of male
companionship, truly of both sexes it can
be said "We are known by the COMPANY
we keep" The pure, innocent, unsus
pecting glrl-thoughtless in this, causes
the tongue of scandal to wag, and too late
for correction must suffer social ostracism.
Care in the choice of companions, in pub
lie action, true modesty, are essentials,
disregard of which bring misery and ruin.
The Packerton school board in the
