Harriet E. Hall of Waynetown,
Ind, says: Il owe my life to the
great South American Nervine. 1
had been in bed for five months from
the effects of an exhausted Stomach,
Indigestion, Nervous prostration and
a general shattered condition of my
whole system. Had given up all
hopes of getting well. Had tried
three doctors with no relief. The
first bottle of the Nervine Tonic i'm
proved me so much that I was able
to walk about and few bottles cur
ed me entirely. 1 believe it is the
best medicine in the world. L can

YanDusen, Dougherty Holman, Mcclure,
Coakley James, Gallagher, Gable, Stout and
Scheihy, Nearly all present took part in the
discussions and for about an hour the meet
ing was quite an interesting one,
Contractor NJ. p. Quinn and Supervising
Engineer Womesdorf were present and the
latter was kept busy answering questions and
| explaining the work done and to be done.
Mr.. Womelsdorf said when asked about
the necessity for keeping watchmen on the
site selected for the lower reservoir, which is
on ex-senator Torbet's land, that no men
were needed for that purpose; that when he
was appointed engineer he entered upon the
land and drove a stake, which practically put
him in possession as a borough representative
possession from him Mr.. Womesdorf also
stated that ex Senator Torbet had agreed
THAI he lMr. WomelsdOrfl should be arbitra-
tor in fixing the price which the Borough
Council should pay for the land it took. Mr..
WomelsdOrf added that he would not ser We
as arbitrator until the Council could make 4
written agreement with ex-senator Torbet to
the effect that the decision of the arbitrator
should be final. In the absence of sucb an
agreement he said the negotiations would be
fruitless. If the decision suited him be
could abide by it and if it was not satisfactory
he could renounce it.
In answer to questions by Councilmen the
Secretary said he had notified ex-senator
Torbet to attend the meeting and had re,
ceived no reply.
Messrs. Coakley and Dougherty said that
in view Of Mr.. Womelsdorf's statement it was
unnecessary to keep two watchmen on the
land at an expense of 800 per month; but Mr..
Womelsdorf subsequently said that he did
not wish Council TO take his statement as a
legal opinion on the question and the Bor-
ough Solicitor had better be consulted.
The matter was finally dropped without
any definite action being taken as to the
price of the land or the continued employ
ment Of the watchmen.
Borough Treasurer Bradigan reported that
s27 800 worth of water bonds had been sold
and $4,000 worth subscribed for.
Contractor Quinn presented bill for net
balance of S5,l1337, and an order was
for the amount.
Mr., Quinn stated that he was ready to go
ahead at any time with any work the Council
might designate, and Mr. James said Council
would probably be ready to give him orders
within a few days
Mr.. Womelsdorf expressed the opinion that
he reservoir at Davis Bun would be com
ileted by October Ist.

A BEAR STORY.


Lawyer Heuniug Tells Good story In

Lawyer Henning of Pottsville, says the
Allentown Critic, tells inimitablya good story
about x-Congressman Sowden Of the Lehigh

him in one campaign, but Billy went to an

vigorous of those who applauded the denun.
Citations hurried against him. When they were

he said;

" THE KIND THAT CURES"


The trouble over the route Of the Trac
tion company's lines through the borough Of
Gilberton appears to be near an amicable
settlement At the last meeting of the
Borough Council Of that place representa-
tives of the Traction company were present,
and stated that the company was willing to
be guided by the Council in tie relaying of
the torn'up tra,ks, and as to the repairing of
the road in general. The newly appointed
assistant superintendent of the company
had a consultation with Chief Burgess
Hullihan in reference to the matter, and the
former was referred to the Borough Council.
The latter body instructed Superintendent
Collins to act in the matter.

To-day gang of the company's men COM
menced digging holes and putting up poles on
Coal street, and from present indications the
work will proceed without interruption.
Last night two representatives Of the com
pany spent several hours with the committee
on roads and highways of the Borough
Council and an agreement was reached by
which the company will be allowed to run its
line along Main street.
At first there was strong sentiment
against the line being allowed ON Main street.
Many of the citizens and Councilmen thought
that the time had arrived when a step should
be taken to confne such franchises to the
alleys, but the representatives of the com.
pany made arrangements which changed the
views of the Councilmen who wanted the
wires run through the alleys.
Under the arrangements made last night
the telephone company has permission to dig
holes at the outer edges of the pavements to
change the location of the poles and wherever
it is practicable the company is to take down
some of the poles that are now strung along
the street For example there are three
poles close to each other at northeast corner
of Main and Oak streets and the company
has agreed to try and do away with at least
one of them

Busy Ants That Make Honey,

Some curious honey-making ants
in Western Australia, innabit-
ing little hollows in the sand OF the
scrub-covered land. In each OF these
cells or caves several large females of
the species dwell together in seeming
harmony. They never venture from
home to collect nectar, but leave that
duty entirely to the workers. The
latter fetch supplies and hand them
over to the queens, who store the sub
stance away in large oval-shaped
bags, half an inch long The honey is
said to be derived from flowers.
In commenting on this report, COM
municated to Insect Life by cor.
respondent, the editor of that publ
cation speaks OF an American species
of ant that is very similar. Some Of
the workers have their abdomens dis
tended to the size of curIants and
filled with honey These honey bear
ers are found clinging to the roofs of
the little caverns, a few inches under
ground They act simply as recep-
tacles for the storing away OF the
sweet substance. which is collected by
active workers from the exudations
ola kind of gall. In time Of famine
the honey bearer throws up the
honey, drop by drop, and it is trans
ferred to the stomach of the hungry
individuals in waiting.
