The game of ball at Freeland,
yesterday, between the club of that
place and the Wilkes Barre club, re-
suited in a victory for the latter club
by score of Il to B. Swartman and
Zeller were the battery for Wilkes
Barre, and Welch and Brady for the
Freeland. The feature of the game
was the playing of Higgins of the
Wilkes-Barre's at first base About SEQ

around players in this section of the
state. His friends in Jeanesville are
numerous and are still on the increase.
In base ball they place great conf
dence in him, while out Of it his very
quiet ways will gain for him the esteem
of all who know him.
e2s Simmons, the efficient captain of
the GAINESVILLE club, who was formerly
with Lehighton, is the right man in
the right place, and an acquisition that
the Jeanesville club long stood in need
of. He understands every point in the
game, can argue his point and will
never "kick," unless his club is right.
That is an important thing in club.

catcher of the Jeanesville club, is a
player who can fill very important

ford. "Say what you WILL" he said.
"under existing social conditions the
saloon supplies a popular want. The

week, with my wife, came over from
Washington on sleeping-car. Her
pocketbook, which fortunately con-
tained only silver and pennies, was
carelessly left in her satchel, and that
placed on the floor under the berth. In
the morning the pocketbook contained
only three pennies. The porter, in
looking up my shoes to impart that
ghostly sleeping-ear shine, had taken
"a flyer through the satchel near by.
The pocketbook was silver mounted
and worth many dollars, but the porter,
well knowing that safety lay in trifes,
had extracted only the change and left
the purse itself. There is no redress
for these petty thefts. It may not have

A PET PRAIRIE DOG.
1t Will Climb Up On Its Owners Lap al

It Will Climb Up On Its Owners Lap and
Nestle Close to Hin, and slsep.
A gentleman living in this city has
pet which is, all things considered. one
of the most afectionate and most intel
hgent pets in the whole country, says
an Abilene (Tex.) correspondent in the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. It is moth
ing but prairie dog, and prairie dogs
are supposed to be rather stupid and
uninteresting; but this particular one,
whose name is Crockett, certainly re-
ceives great deal of attention from all
his acquaintance. He was brought to
the city when he was very SMALL and
presented to a little girl, and it was ex-
pected that Crockett and Mamie would
be great playmates and fast friends.
Very soon, however, the prairie dog
formed the most unreasoning attach
ment for Nantes father, and it is
something wonderful and pathetic to
see his devotion to this one object of
his affection. While Mr.. r. is about
the house Crockett will climb into his
lap, or, being denied that privilege, will
lie on the floor with his head resting on
his masters foot or his arms c1asped
about it. He begs with pitiful cries to
be left in the room at night and when
bed time approaches he. invariably
snealss into some hiding place, hoping
that he may be overlooked. In the
morning when Mr.. r. starts to town
Crockett follows him to the gate and
parts from him there with many re-
grets, rising on his launches every
minute or two to watch him out of
sight and barking and crying alternate
ly as he turns the last corner. And
when the whistle sounds at noon Crock
EFT instantly rushes to the gate at full
speed and watches for his masters COM
ing with all the intelligence of child
The little marmot knows the man it
loves when he is three or four blocks
away, and if he is alone it runs to meet
him and must be taken up and ride
home on his shoulder. If any stranger
should be with him, however, Crockett
rises en- his launches, shifts the air and
barks angrily, and then advances few
steps and stops again to investigate and
to sound his disapproval. All the children
of the family and many other persons
have made every exertion to win the
confidence of this little creature, but in
vain. He tolerates them, but all his
love is given to this one human being
out of all the world 5g-.zrs. I'D

Corn Crib.

Every farmer should have rat
proof crib, one removed from other
buildings, trees, ETC., and set on pill
lars three feet high, with inverted tin
or sheet iron pans on their tops as a
cap. If ladder is used In place of
steps, and always taken down when
not in use, and if nothing is leaned up
against the crib, not a rat nor even a
mouse will get into such a crib, unless
carried in when filled baskets or bags
are taken into it. It is SO easy and SO
inexpensive to have such cribswe
are surprised that one is not found on
every farm in the country.
For the protection of the corn
against the weevil and other insects
it is a good plan to put some bisul-
phide of carbon Zone ounce) here and
there in the crib of corn as it is put
in. A layer of bisulphide. should be
placed for every layer of corn three
feet deep. In using the bisulphide
be sure to have no fire about the crib
mot even pipe. In ten days the
bisulphide will all have escaped and
there will be no increased danger from
fire. The very unpleasant odor will
also be gone, and not the. slightest in
jury win have been done the corn.
Nothing more destructive to insects
can be used than the bisulphide, and
its use should be extended Exchange.
The Farmers Union (Minphis, No.
says:
A scheme is now being devised by
tie leading Democrats, with the help
of many Of their Republican allies, to
clay the silver question on the shelf"
The new plan is to get up a commits
sion composed of fifteen statesmen to
meet representatives of foreign gov
ernments sometime during the worlds
fair. and discuss the matter. The
Democrats are afraid to allow any
financial legislation in the House for
fear they win loose some of the East
ern States, and know by previous ex-
perience that they can delude the.
party in the West and still receive
support. In other words, the party
i'm the South viii be played for dunn
mics, while the all-powerful East will
have its way. But possibly this kind.
of work viii be stopped and the people
of the South and West sufficiently.
get their eyes open enough to throw
off the guardianship Of the East and
attend TO their own interests. 1t Is
quite likely that the West, at least,
will not put up with the commission
humbug.
