settled In Milwaukee. The oldest
boy. In his teens, concluded he would
start ont for himself Finally he
brought up in New York city and soon
spent all the money the old man had

this kind OF an appeal:
Dear Father am sick and lonely.
without a single cent. Send me- some
money quick. Your son. JONI.
Now the father was illiterate and
could not read. SO he went 10 a
strapping butcher and asked him TO
read the letter. The butcher had a
gruif way OF reading and loud voice.
When he finished reading Johns let
ter the father was furious. and declared
he would not send u penny, even II
the boy starved TO death He had
never heard OF such an impudent de-
mand for money. On his way home
the father thought the butcher
might have made n mistake In
reading, and desire TO hear
the letter read again overcame him.
A comsumptIve baker. with low fall
ing infection. was next asked 10 read
the sons letter. When he concluded,
the father said, with tears In his eyes
My poor boy. I'll send him all the
money he wants. The baker had
read. word Tor word. the letter as Il
WIS read by the butcher.
You see. my dear friends. that there
is n great deal In the human voice. -

factories and that the industries cannot be
made profitable outside of the cities.
The non-progressive people held full
sway in this town for a number of years,
but the local government was gradually
transformed by the Infusion of new blood
until finally, or December 4th, last, the
Borough Council took m advanced step by
passing a resolution that all new industries
employing a number of hands created or
started in the borough of Shenandoah be
exempted from payment of taxes for
borough purposes for "a period of ten years.
This step should rave been followed by the
organization Of a Board of Trade and a
liberal distribution among capitalists and
manufacturers Of circulars containing a copy
Of the resolution passed by Council, together
with a description of the town, its location
and its advantages. For some unknown
reason this was not done, but it is not too late
to do so now, Capitalists are more likely
to step into a town that shows enterprise
than they are to interest themselves in a
pace that shows indifference.
There is an industry not far from Shen-
andoah that can be brought into the town
with little effort. II is located at present in
a place where both fuel and labor is scarce.
If brought here it will give employment to
a large number of men and women and
boys and girls.
Mahanoy City has struck out ahead Of
Shenandoah in the establishment of a large
brewery, A prominent gentleman of town
says that the brewery will be watched and
if it proves a paying Investment one will
be started here. This is encouraging, but
not altogether satisfactory. While our
people are holding of to let others show
what pays they are losing the advantages
that fall to the lot Of those who reach the
field first. Shenandoah has held back too
long already. The establishing of a
brewery here was agitated years ago, but
people winked and smiled at the idea.
Now Mabanoy City has one and some of
our people are saying, There must be
money in it after ALL" Let some of the
monied men of the town bestir themselves
and try to get to the front.

Reckless People.

It is surprising how some women are
carried away by curiosity, Where the
most danger hovers there they seem TO
hock in reckless haste, neglectrul Of the
safety Of themselves or those guided by
them. This morning no less than half a
dozen accidents were barely averted after
the aged Polish woman was run over at
the limerick street crossing. Women and
children aocked in droyes over the tracks
to Robbins row, whore the victim was
being cared for, and Gatemau Hawley and
the crews engaged in switching freight and
Other ca on that part OF the road we're
kept busy warning them against crossing in
front Of engines and cars. There is no
more dangerous section Of the Lehigh
Valley railroad than that between limerick
and Bowers streets, and people should
exercise the greatest caution when crossing
the rails Of that section.

Sutherland, who had sent the alleged
obscene circulars through the mail,
was so certain of acquittal that he went
back to Hazleton last night. Suther-

At a late hour last night Constable Sci

shoes, he having left them there SO he could
walk about barefooted. Constable Seibert
gave chase and overlook the man on Lloyd

busta and Bernutus houses to see if he
boarded at either Of them, but nobody
could recognize the man. The burglar

On the hanks Of the Cedar River,
about one mile northwest of Gladwin,
says the Detroit Neus, a farmer keeps
quite a number of hogs and pigs,
which run ia the field at their pleasure.
A short time ago he began to miss
some of his young hogs. Night after
night some of them would come up
missing. He searched the neighbor-
hood, but to no avail.
Then he shut them up in a tight
pen, but still the depredatiOns went on,
until at last he SET a guard to watch
for the thief,
Night wore away and no one mo.

o Dime novels seem to do their deadly
work in the West as well as the far
BEast. The latest victims of the Indian
killing mania are John and Willie
Parker, of Moberly, Mo. They had
been ardent readers Of Indian stories
and longed to bask in the smiles of sad
wah, the heroine of the Apaches, whose
wonderful strategy in ten seconds
saved 1000 white men from being
scalped. They accordingly purchased
a supply of bowie knives and horse
pistols and then proceeded on their
Westward journey. They swooped
down on the city of st. Louis last week
and proceeded to load up on tangle
foot-a la "Denver Bill, the meat ak of
the Canon" A st. Louis COP took the
youngsters into custody. The latest
received from them is to the effect
that they had been thoroughly spanked
by their mamma, who took them home
to Moberly.

THE BEST SNAKE STORY

1T COMES FROM THE STATE FAMOUS
FOR ITS BOURBON wHIsKEY.
Kentucky is famous for whiskey aud
snake stocies-not that there is any af-
hnity between them, although a drink
of Blue Grass bourbon is said to have
a stimulating effect on the drinkers
visual powers. The following story,
told by a delegate TO the Baptist As
~sociation which met in Kentucky last
fall, TO a reporter for the Crawford
(Ga.) Reraid, is given as the best
snake yarn eXtauti and one can almost
see the bouquet of the bourbon in it,:
He and his uncle were sitting by IA
cTCek-side, in the State of Kentucky,
fishing, aud were surprised by seeing
a black snake dash out of thicket,
and running to a weed standing near
them, bite a leaf from it and quickly
return. This ne did several times,
When, their curiosity being excited,
they followed him TO see what be
meant by such strange conduct, and
found him engaged in a fearful fight
with a mOccasin several times his own
size. As often as his antagonist sue
ceeded in biting him heran to the weed
for his antidOte and was at him again.
At length the uncle pulled up aud
removed the weed to see what the
snake would do. He soon came again,
and, fuding his remedy gone, he
looked eagerly from side to side a per-
feet picture of despair, and fell stone
dead on the spot. The moccasin, al
ready badly disabled, they dispatched.

preparation of coal. The great mauufac-
