An Answer to Enigma"

In last weeks issue of the Volunteer was
an article purporting to have answered
School Girl. whose article appeared in
the STAR of the previous week. 1t was
not my intention to get up Il contro-
versy. Neither was it my intention to
make one personal allusion in the
article, which was only few thoughts
clothed in words. | have since been
told that number of young men are
quite indignant about it. Why any of the
young men of Reynodsvillc should con-
slider the article applicable to them
selves is not for me to say. Enigma"
says my condemnation Of the boys Is un-
called for. II Enigma" had carefully
read my article, she (?) would have seen
that there was no foundation for that
accusation. The condemnation spoken
of is not there. Life is a reality. Are
there not deceptions practiced daily?
We do not dream these things. n we
did life would be u summer idyl indeed.
Is it not terribly true that of the vast
number of young men of our land, the
greater proportion choose evil rather
than good. My article had reference
to no town or locality. There are un-
doubtedly Il great number Of noble
young men in Reynodsvillc. Enigma"
truly says that my experience is limit
ed, and yet who can walk the streets Of
our little town after night has shrouded
it in its mantle of darkness, without
discovering that evil exists even within
our own borders. A greater portion Of
the article in the Volunteer voices my
sentiments exactly.
| was writing an article for boys.
Had written for girls probably would
have used just as plain language.
Herein is the difference, boys, not one
girl in the town would have acknowl-
edged that the article touched her in
any way. Boys, fight the battle of life
bravely. You are the architects of
your own fortunes. Inscribe on your
banner self reliance, faith, honesty and
industry. Don't drink. Don't chew.
Don't smoke. Don't swear. Don't de-
ceive. Love truth and virtue. II this
advice is implicitly followed by the
young men of the country the millennium
is near at hand. SCHOOL GIRL.

He's a Hustler.

John w. Phillippi, of Winslow town
ship, the hustling agent who is selling
counties for the Lindsey Moving Ma
chine Knife Grinding Co., was in Reyn-
oldsville Saturday attending a school
meeting, he being one of the directors
of Winslow township. Mr.. Phillippi
just returned from the eastern part of
the state where he sold the patent-right
for Bucks. Montgomery, Adams, Cum
berland, Dauphin and Northumberland
counties. The knife was patented by
Kellog and Is manufactured at Lindsey,
Pa. This is not an expensive knife
grinder and it is undoubtedly a good
thing. They are such good sellers that
about all that is necessary is to explain
how it works to the farmer and he
wants one Immediately. 1t is some-
thing that every farmer should have.
Mr.. Phillippi has the patent-right Of
Pennsylvania and is rapidly dispoing of
it in counties. He is good saleman
and having such labor-saving article
to sell for paltry sum, he, and also the
company, are meeting with great sue

antly, save the excitement in the early
part Of the evening. Soon after the
may dance had commenced an uninvit-
ed guest made its appearance and
caused considerable commOtion among
the ladies, and the floor was soon cleared
of the dancers. A nasty big rat had
everything its own way for a minute.
The antics Of the ladies as they jumped
on chairs, wrapped their dresses around
their feet and screamed at the top OF
their voices, was enough to frighten tho
rodent, but it was either charmed or
dazed, because it walked slowly around
the middle OF the room until some of the
men tramped on it and murdered the
poor rat.

Singed His Mustache.

What might have proven a serious
fire. including cremation, occurred in
Bell Bros tailor shop last Tuesday
evening. On account OF rush of work
the firm finds it necessary to have their
employees work at night. On the
evening named William Craig, the
cutter, was in the act of extinguishing
the light of a large brass lamp to close
the shop when the lamp exploded
throwing the burning oil around pro-
miscuously. Mr.. Craig and young
man who works in the shop, ''got a
move on" for once, at least, andsoon got
the best of the fire fiend, not however,
until after one side of the wall
had been SCARED by the blaze and
Craig's mustache had been SO
badly singed that amputation was
necessary, which was great sac
riice to Craig US it was a brand-new
mustache. Mr.. Craig's clothing was
also afire, but quick work and presence
of mind saved him. The barn adjoining
the shop contains large quantity of oil
which would have assisted In making "a
big fire out Of 1t had the shop burned.

SelfActing Pump.

II. Alex. Stoke has an automatic
pump in his cellar that was not very
expensive, but which he would not part
with for four times what he paid for it If
he could not get another one like
it. The cellar is drained so that the
water runs into one corner and there
a barrel has been put down and
when it is filed with water the pump
goes to work on its own accord and
works away until the water is all
pumped out. The pump requires no
attention and will go to work in the
middle of the night if needs be. Such
an apparatus in II number of other
cellars in this town would be good
thing.
