Homesville the line of the SchuylkiI Trac-
tiOn Company's track is close to a high
embankment and between the track and the
slope of another high embankment is the
roadway used by ordinary vehicles. At one
point of this road there is sharp curve
which hides from view the approaching ears
and it is always necessary to exercise great
precaution when driving there.
Horan was loungiug near this dangerous
point when he observed a carriage containing
young man and female escort approaching
from the east. The carriage was drawn by
team of spirited horses, but the young man
seemed able to keep them under control but
just as the carriage neared Horan an electric
car swept around the curve from the west.
Its sudden appearance frightened the horses
and they commenced to plunge about wildly,
while the motor man shut Off the current and
applied the brakes to stop the car. The
frightened horses continued plunging about,
the screams of the couple in the carriage and
| the passengers on the electric car serving to
make them more nervous and unmanageable
The carriage was pulled to the brink of the
| outer embankment and the horses seemed
about to plunge sideways over it, when Horan
sprange forward and, grabbing the bride of
| the horse nearest the dangerous slope, sue
ceeded by sudden and powerful jerk in
swinging the team to the center of the road.
After that several of the car passengers gave
their assistance and rescued the couple from
the carriage. The horses were also quieted
and taken from the place. The young woman
and her escort were completely overcome by
their experience. Both wept copiously and
between spasms of grief scolded each other
The young man was told he didn't know
how to drive and he in turn
charged the young woman with
first Tightening the horses by her screaming.
The narrow e.cape seemed to have made the
couple hysterical and they forgot to thank
the one who saved them. After recovering
from the shock the couple continued their
journey to Ashland without disclosing their
identity and no one ON the scene knew them.
Horan is but sixteen years of age. Had he
not acted as promptly as he did the young
couple, horses and carriage would have been
precipitated down a steep embankment hay
ing slope of about two hundred feet,

The concert given by the Welsh Ladies
Choir Of Cardiff, Wales in Kaier's opera
house, Mahanoy City, on Monday evening
last, was Il rare musical event seldom equalled.
The choir is composed of thirty ladies trained
to sing in the competitions in the Worlds Fair
EisJeddfOd, whore they captured the $1,000
prize and where several of the individual
members also won prizes The choir is under
the leadership of Mrs Clara Novello Davies,
and is something unique in the musical line,
there being no male voices in it. Their
rendition of the "March of tho Men of
Harlech" and "Bells of Aberdovey" was very
fine but the solos and Duets were the star
numbers on the program eliciting such
rapturous applause that did not subside each
case until an encore was given. Every soloist
showed plainly the result of excellen, culture
Of voices of rare sweetness and power and it
is greatly to be regretted that the time of
their departure for home is so close as to
prevent their giving concert in shen ,ndoah.
They sang in Lansford Tuesday evening.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1898.
To Mako the Farm Pay.

An exchange says that about one
half of the crops that many farmers
produce nowadays, eat up the prof
It's derived from the other half. In
other words, II large share Of what the
average farmer raises, Is produced at
II loss. The money derived from it
does not cOYer expense and labor at
current rates. This is sad but true.
This writer thinks the problem, how
10 make the farm pay, now resolves
itself into the question, which crops
TO retain and which To abandon. The
majority of farmers work at Il disad-
vantage, simply because they do not
know, and have given little thought
to the question, which of the crops
they grow are raised at profit, and
which are not. Often this can be
easily determined with little difficulty,
or without keeping full account Of
every item. 4 close estimate of the
expenses, including rent of land,
blowing, narrowing, seed and seeding,
harvesting, threshing, marketing and
of the value of the crop, will in most
cases, be sufficient to show whether
grain or potato crop Is raised ut II
profit or loss. 4 ten-bushel crop Of
wheat, ifty-bushel crop of potatoes
cannot be expected to pay expenses.
Ii the probabilities point to such or
similar crops ON given piece of land,
its cultivation would better be ADAM
doned until the time when, in con-
sequence of an increase in soil fertility
or otherwise, more satisfactory results
are probable Dairymen are in the
same perdicament. Some COWS pay,
and some do not. The milk-measure
and the mlI-test will tell at least
approximately, which cow should be
kept and which should be sacrificed.
1t j. senseless to feed and care for Il
COW at loss. So it is with poultry.
Some hens are profitable, and others,
on account of age or other intirmities,
are not. The usual excess of males
always represents loss. The I'M
profitable fowls should be sold or
killed. In short, one of the first
steps that the farmer, who wishes to
carry on his business with the most
satisfactory results should take, is the
wedding out of Improbable crops and
Improbable animals. 1t is not good
sense to let the poor crops consume
the profits of the good ones, or see the
lean cows devour the fat ones without
applying the proper remedies.

An Old Friend.

In u series of interviews with MEM
bers of the last Congress, 81 out of 43
remarked that they were readers of
The Youths COmp0RiOR. For definite
and trustworthy information on the
questions of the day 1t is really unique,
while the high character of its stories,
the wide fields covered by its special
articles, and its contributions from the
most famous writers in Europe and
America, are well known.
Its programme for next year seems
brighter than ever. Some of the im-
portant stories are: THE Deserter,"
by Harold Frederick; Tale of the
Great Mutiny in India, by Sara
Jeanette Duncan; several ROmances
of the Sea, by w. Clark Russell; Tales
of the War, and of the Frontier in
Early Days. Henry NJ. Stanley con-
tributes two thrilling narratives from
Darkest Africa, and Archibald Forbes
writes of his CLOSEST Call" Naval
Battles are described by Admirals, and
Military Life by Generals. Then there
are articles on Choosing an Occupa-
ton, Boys Who should Not Go to
College, Physical Training, Recrea-
tons of all kinds, and many other
practical subjects.
Another pleasant feature l. the
charming picture of Il young lady of
colonial times. Sweet Charity" re-
produced in colors from painting by

Idoubt not that the person who wrote
that song had once been Il neglected
school child and felt how sad thing
it was to seem so isolated from your
thoughts when he was not present with
you. The teachers work late and
early and they as well rs the scholars
feel hurt to think yOn do not take as
much interest in their work and its
results as you would in that of hired
man.
Parents, the children do feel this.
If you should say that you intended to
visit the school room on such a day
you kHoU your children would re-
double their lessons and if you visited
often the results would be more good
lessons all of the time and consequent
~ Il better understanding of their
work. Now let us see more of you at

take an interest in the educational
advancement of your children.
