A man went into store of neigh
boring town and asked if he could rest
four or five hours. The proprietor, who
had just found nest of newborn mice
in coffee grinder, told him he could,
and then asked him why he didn't go to
the hotel. The man replied: Il am
suffering from nervous prostration, and
the doctor said to get quiet place to

win some of the A. p. A. apostles rise
and explain what has become of their
'garb bill" which was introduced in the
legislature some time ago? This act
was to be passed Immediately after it's
introduction, but it does seem that it
struck snag since it left the house.
Perhaps the committee of Mennonites
that went to Harrisburg to protest
against its passage frightened the tribe
into silence, just as the A. P. A. leader,
Representative Spangler, was frightened
when he turned traitor and deserted the
army at Antietam.

Council of Women.
Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson, who has
just been elected president Of the Ma
tional Council of Women at the Wash
ington convention, is writer of marked
ability, but is, perhaps, more widely
known in the educational field. She
has thousands of friends throughout
the United States who recognize the
quality and extent of what she has ac-
complished in this direction. She was
born in Massachusetts, but after her
marriage resided for some years abroad,
and is now resident of the city of New
York. An early experience in life as
teacher led her to realize the need for
a more practical education for girls and
women, and she has sought to teach
better systems of training. Her latest

years old. The skins were those Of
twelve faithful servants who rescued
one Of his majesty's ancestors from a

succumbing to the effects of their burns.

There is but little doubt that the new
county bill will be called up in the house
of representatives. shortly for final
passage. 1t is possible this measure
may be defeated; the indications, how
ever, are that it will pass by constitu-
tional majority. Whether defeated or
not, the bill will be remembered for
many years as one most bitterly fought
and against which the most inscriptions
methods have been used.

According to Poor Director Monroe,
and he is an excellent authority on the
subject, destitution and want are in
creasing at an alarming rate in the Lu-
zerne part of the poor district. Unless
the collieries work more steadily, he
says, the number suffering for the neces-
saries of life will become alarmngly
large. This is truly a sad condition of
affairs, yet nothing more than a passing
thought is given to the subject by the
majority of people. Only few appear
to care how their fellow-men exist The
question, "Is civilization a failure" is
indeed debatable one under the condi-
tions that prevail in the anthracite coal
regions.
