When travellers on the desert wish to

considerable moisture in the air. When
the air Is full of moisture the perspira

mart of 1t was only about two miles
wide, commencing In San Patricio

south across Nueces Bay into this coun-

J. H. Roark, John Dunn and others in
that neighborhood, west of the city. Mr..

Banquet and MIshap.

The p. o. S. of A. of Reynoldsville
held a banquet in the Reynolds brick
block Thursday evening which was Il
pleasant affair II was the regular
meeting night Of the lodge and short
session was held early in the evening
after which a number of invited guests
met in the lodge room where speeches
and songs were INDUCED in until after
ten o'clock and then IL was announced
that supper was ready Three long
tables were spread in one OF the store
rooms on the first floor and were loaded
ed with good things. After the supper
was over the people ascended the stairs
to the lodge room and listened to the
remainder of the program prepared for
the evening. About midnight, when
the meeting was drawing to close, a
mishap occurred that raised great ex-
citement in the lodge room. Two Du-
bois ladies were standing in the ante
room talking, one with her back to the
stove, and several people wanted to pass
by and the lady stepped back and upset
the stove. The mating was good tin
der for the hot Goals. Fortunately
there was not much fire in the stove at
the time and the hot Goals were gather
ed up before any more damage was done
than to destroy little mating. There
were from seventy-five to one hundred
people in the lodge room who had no
way of escape only through the ante
room or jump out of the third story
window, and it is hardly necessary to
add that when the alarm was given and
the smoke began to roll into the lodge
room that there were number OF peo-
pie badly frightened.

Sleighing Episode.

Thursday afternoon two Reynoldsville
youths who have not yet begun to culti-
vate hirsute between the base Of the
proboscis and the edge OF the upper
lip, put on u "boiled" shirt, good sup
ply of 'smell-em-good," hitched u big
bay horse into two seated sleigh, got
the choice Of their young affections
from the gentler sex into the sleigh,
and the four drove TO Brookville. Al
ter supper the young people started for
home and they had so much confidence
In the "beast of burden" that the lines
were wrapped around the whip and the
whip was dropped in the front part Of
the sleigh. The horse did real we'll in
keeping in the road for ashort distance,
but missed it on big snow drift and an
accident occurred. After the excite
ment abated IL was discovered that a
shaft had been snapped in twain. The
girls were taken to farm house hardly
and the boys tramped the neighbor-
hood DER trying to borrow pair Of
shafts, but failed. They were in a pre-
dicament. A broken shaft, light
pocket-books, long distance from home,
two girls to care for, the farmers beds
all full before they arrived. One of the
maidens wanted to walk back to Brook
vile to 'grandpa's." 1t was finally
decided that the young people could
hold down the chairs in the parlor il
they wanted to- They sat up all night
and made such racket that the family
could not sleep. In the morning the
boys stood around the barn yard with
their hands in their pockets watching
the farmer lad repair the broken shaft.

A Gas Leak.

On Monday morning the court house
at Brookville was full of gas and the
gas company notified the commissioners
to put all the people out and lock the
building until the leak was found. The
court house was locked up and men
were put to work digging along the
line outside Of the court house. Soon
after dinner it was discovered that the
inch pipe that feeds the lamp in front
OF the court house had broken. After
this had been repaired and still the
court house was full OF gas, Judge Clark
adjourned court until the May term.
After the trouble was made known
Monday morning it was hardly neces-
sary to lock the court house: as no one
cared to linger around the building.

Narrow Escape.

Eight ladies, members of the p. o. ID.
of A. of Dubois, came TO Reynoldsville
in sled Thursday evening to attend
the "blow out" given by the p. o. S.
Of A. at this place. The party crossed
the r.. & F, G. R'y track at Prescott
vile about nine o'clock in snow storm
and the driver did not hear or sec the
coal train coming until his horses were
on the track and the engine short dis
tance from them. The driver had
presence Of mind enough to turn his
team off the track just as the iron horse
whizzed past within foot OF the
sled. 1t will be impossible for any

Book Reception.

The teachers and pupils will give a
book reception on the afternoon OF
March 18th. The object in having this
Reception is to give the parents an
opportunity to see the work that is
being done in the different rooms by
their children. The teachers and pu-
pills are very anxious to increase the
number of books in the School Library,
as there are not sufficient volumes in
the Library at present to supply the
demand. Now is the time to place
good reading in the hands Of the boys
and girls. Give them something good
to read and they will read it.
A prize will be given to the person
guessing the number of books brought
in during the day, or to the person
making the nearest guess. The prize
will be a souvenir cup. The cup will be
silver and suitably engraved. Every
person bringing book will be entitled
to a guess, but every one will be made
welcome. Those bringing books are
requested to write their name and the
number they guess on slip of paper
and bring it with them.
