Coal and Iron Policeman William Sci
well, of Jeddo, arrested John Rasco, of
Eckley, on Thursday, on charge pre-
ferred by Mine Foreman Samuel Wyatt,
who accused John of stealing tools from
the Cross Creek Coal Company at No. 10
slope. Rasco was brought to Freeland,
and at hearing before Squire Buckley he
pleaded guilty. The tools had been
found in his possession at Sandy Run,
where he had secured work after being
discharged at Eckley. John was com
mitted to the county Jail, and will be
given trial sometime this year.

KEEPING BUSY.

Some people say that it is impossible
for one to keep busy, that person
would soon wear out just as piece OF
ordinary machinery. The proneness to
do nothing with some people has
tendency in great measure, to cause
others to be idle, and at time when
they can i'll afford it. A man can I'M
bue his wOrkmen with greater desire
to work if he would occasionally lend
hand instead of standing about the
works. lazily watching them. A great
mistake is made by the young men
when they let the idea enter their heads
that they cannot keep busy, and that
labor is dishonorable. A person who
so thinks is liable to be consumer IN
stead of producer: and If everybody
were of his class this would be poor
old world, indeed.
Keep your mind busy with clear
thoughts, and your hands with honor
able work, and you will find your time
so completely filled that you will find
no time for mischief, idle gossip, or
slander, and therefore no trouble can
come upon you. An idle brain is
devils workshop for truth, and none
can deny it. Idleness has and is still
running hundreds, yea. millions, OF
Young people. Cease your idleness; do
with all your might what thy hands
can find to do, so it be honorable. Fly
v from idleness as from contagion, keep
, aloof from it in all forms, for it is the
first step to vice, and you will find that
v by keeping busy honor and esteem VII
$ always come upon you. The EXILE.

bier. If vanity causes you to steal, to
wear fine clothes, and you are broughtto
Justice; do you blame the clothes? We
all know what is for our good and
for the bad. The same vices prevail
today as they did in the time of Moses.
If we have good impulses, the
RIGHT motive power, we will not be
troubled with saloons, gambling or
other vices. We won't be in prison; we
won't bring sorrow and disgrace to our
loved ones. Be men; lay the blame to
yourself, not to any one else, or any OF
the vices of man or woman. Exercise
the same power you did when you

MOTHER LOVE.
True Incident Which Happened at
the Chester, ILL.,, Penitentiary.

A case Of "mOther love" recently
came to light at the Chester prison that
serves we'll to illustrate the wonderful
love a mother bears for her child, what
fearless, tireless heroine woman can
become who labOrs to save her loved
one. A rich lady resident, of Belle
VILE. named Pittman, had d son, Will,
a Young man of good parts, but some
what inclined to wildness, to whom the
sedentary occupation OF JeWeler d1d
not offer sufficient variety and ne gave
it up, greatly against the wishes OF MS
mother, to become telegraph opera
tor. which business soon led him INTO
the kind of company he had been de-
string and he fell into bad habits. one
night he went with some cronles TO
Cairo and while there they entered
ieWelry store to make some purchases.
A tray of jewels was placed before
them. One of Pittman's companions
bade him take diamond ring and he
did so. not realizing at the moment
that it was crime, and put it in his
pOcket. The party was socially drunk
and in moment forgot all about the
ring. nor did Pittman, himself, remem.
her it until he was arrested. He had
been in the Chester prison about three
months when his mothers inquiries
disclosed to her the dreadful fact that
he was convict. How dreadful she
must have felt over the terrible news
is evidenced by the fact that she almost
: flew to his rescue. She came to the
> prison to see her son and so great was
f. her agitation that she tainted at the

WHAT WE READ.

Have YOU ever thought how the peo-
pie in ancient times got along without
the news?
In this age of enterprise and news
papers, we can scarcely imagine that
three hundred years ago most OF the
world were unable to read or write;
and as we go on back in history their
ignorance grows apace. The high born
and great ones on earth were unable to
read or write. and it was common
thing for a monarch to make his marx
when signing a public document, even
in the 14th century. Thus it was that
art. and especially ancient art was
but the medium for transmission OF
letters and history. Before printing
was discovered and before books and
PAMPHLETS were circulated, the diffusion
and dissemination of knowledge was
difficult indeed, only the very few ane
gifted ones could decipher the scrolls
and parchments; and the populace ha(
to receive their instruction and enter
tainment orally. Hence the theatr
and the public bath became the grea
news centres. Here was retailed a.
the scandal, gossip, and currentnews
the city, and of the known world, an
here were doubtless told stories an
fables that would put Munchausen I
, the blush. For the traveller, fresh frol

PHILOSOPHICAL ERRORS.
With Good Impulses and the Right
Motive Power, Man is Ever Safe.

Agnosticism says stop before you
begin. Dogmatism says go on httle
way then stop. You must have motive
to do either. Our problem In lie
should be to know all we can ana
profit by the same TO say it makes no
difference whether we think right or
wrong who and what we are, how we
ought to act is folly, and needs no
criticism.
The philosophy that says, you can
not know anything; the philosophy
that says, you can know only what
your father knew; and the philosohy
that says, it makes no difference what
we think or say, are all the same bad
stock. 1t is of Importance that we
should have right ideas of the problems
of life; still right ideas are not sui
ficient. An opinion is OF no import

A Workman Carried Off by
Heart Failure.
FATAL RESULT OF A RUN
The Victim Was Employed on Dirt Bank
at the Shenandoah City Colliery and
EEertion Brought on the Attack That
Caused His Death

John Ruduicki, aged 81 years, single, and
son Of Joseph Rudnicki, the South Main
street grocer, dropped dead on a dirt bank at
the Shensn doah City coliery this morning.
He was a brother of the boy who was man.
gled in the rollers at the same colliery last
December.
Rudnicki was employed as a driver on the
dirt bank, He was seen running after his
wagon and seemed to he stumbling rs he
went along. When he got up with the wagon
Rudnicki grabbed the side as if to prevent
himself falling, A helper stopped the mule
aud wagon and at the same time Rudnicki
released his hold and dropped down beside
the track.
The helper hurried from the scene as he
SAW RudniCki remain motionless and gasping
Outside Foreman Marshal Baugh hurried out
on the bank and few moments later the
driver died in his arms.
The body was removed to the home of the
parents and DR.. Covany summoned, but he
saw at a glance that he could do nothing
He expressed the opinion that death had
been caused by general debility and heart
failure. The family said the deceased had
been in ill.health from boyhood and he fre.
quently complained of heart trouble. II is
believed the exertion attending the run after
the wagon brought the fatal end.
