A Deserted Child Rescued
LEW. LUDwICK

A grusome story OF suffering has
come to us from beyond Kahltown, in
Eldred township, in which child about
four or five years of age, son Of coal
miner, is represented to have been
abandoned and left in an old rattle-trap
OF house, without food or clothing. in
the seyerest weather OF last week, where
he stayed shut up for several days,
or until some inspiration moved neigh
Dor lady, Mrs. Martin, to make an in
vestigation, when the boy was found in
terrible plight, hungry and frost-bit-
ten and almost perished. The lady act
cd the part OF the "Good Samaritan"
taking the child to her home and min
istering to its wants and later sending
ing it to friends in Seigle, where a
home has been found for it.-Brook-

The Allegheny River Ice.

Much has been said and written about
the ice gorges on the Allegheny river,
and the possible danger when break
up comes. But really the half has not
been told The immensity of the quanti-
ty Of ice has not been comprehended, nor
can it be unless one goes over the route
between Kittanning and Oil City, and
notes carefully the condition Of the
river all the way. The Allegheny river
has never in the recollection of ev n
oldest rivermen been in the condition
it is in now. True the gorge proper,
does not extend more than twenty-five
miles. But the other sixty miles are
icebound, or as the railroad men term
it: "Only regular close up" That
there is danger always in the breaking
up of the ice In the river in the spring
there is no denying. And this year the
danger is greater than 1t has been any
year since 1882, when the big flood
came. There never has been, at least
since that time, even II then, so much
ice on the Allegheny river at one time.

Keep Your Sign Up.

A man in business should always keep
himself before the public. This is what
Peter Cooper said of advertising in a
newspaper, and he died worth many
millions: SIN all towns where news
paper is published every man should
advertise in it, If nothing more than a
card stating his name and the business
he is engaged in. 1t does not only pay
the advertiser, but lets people at dis
tance know the town in which you
reside is a prosperous community OF
business men. Never pull down your
sign while you expect to do business"

best packs in the neighborhood have
 been able to live with them The great
 improvement in the American-bred
 English hound has been in nose and
 ranging quality, developed to a degree
 very little inferior to- the American, which, combined with superior speed and endurance, make the American bred English hound the best for the requirements of the Radnor county.
 In Genesee, MT. Wadsworth employs a pack of English hounds of very good breeding, and uses also a few Ameri- cans for ranging, but no comparison can be drawn here, because neither is the highest type of its kind,
 In the south the American hound is used exclusively, and one could hardly discover hunter in a weeks travel who would not scoff at the idea of the English being even comparable. Even MT. Thomas at Hitchcock, Jun, some time master of the Meadow Brook, and one of the best and most enthusiastic masters of hounds in America, has be- come staunch convert to the southern belief And MT. Hitchcocks change of faith was not without cause, for 1t was born of experience with the English hounds which he took from Meadow Brook into the south. But even so, I am forced to say that his experience is not convincing; his hounds were drag pack, accustomed to follow the man. with-the-bag at steeple-chase pace and the aniseseed scent breast high. Small wonder that they were left stand ing by the cold-nosed, highly strung, ranging American hound, that, bred to the highest degree, has been hunting the wild fox from puppyhood.
 Fox hunting in the south generally differs completely both in country and method from elsewhere, and even varies in its several localities. The same type of country and.conditions found in Ten nessee for instance, are by no means duplicated in Georgia, Mississippi,or AL abanla; but all have large coverts, some too dense in underbrush to permit of riding, and call for keen nose and wild ranging. It Is altogether likely therefore, that the American hound Is better suited to the requirements of southern hunting than even the home bred English one of the highest type, though how the latter would compare no one can say, since the experiment is yet to be made.-From Fox hunting in the United States" by Casper W. Whit ney, in Harper's Magazine for March.

English nnd AmerIcan Hounds.

The English hound has suffered in
 comparison with the American for the
 reason that importa tions have not been
 of the best hloods It is unques-
 tionably true that a4tnediocre or even
 good product of an English kennel does
 not fill the requiren1ehts, of hunting in
 this country SO satisfactorily as an
 American of the same grade. Further
 more, MT. Mather' 2periments have
 proved that thel highest type of Eng
 fish hound which has been entered to
 fox in England is not So seryiceable in
 this country as the best American The
 nature of hunting in the two countries
 is altogether different. In England the
 coverts are small, comparatively speak ing, artificially stocked, and systemat-
 ically cared for, and the hound has a limited area for his work, with the
 huntsman constantly at his heels to en- courage and lift" him. In the United States the coverts are large, are neither cared for nor artifcially stocked
 Ghough a certain small percentage of foxes is turned loose in the Radnor and Genesee countries every season), it is frequently impossible for the huntsman to be up with his hounds, and their field of work is very large. In fact, nose and ranging quality are two of the greatest essentials to a good fox-hound in this country, and these, together with @ beautiful voice, are the attrib- utes par excellence to the American. Tn these three particulars the American- bred English hound of the highest type, which is to be found only in the Radnor kennels, has not equalled the native of purest blood. In speed and endurance, however, the English is superior.
 It must be remembered that expert ments doing equal justice to both breeds have been made only In the Radnor country. There are only three sections of the United States where riding to hounds after the wild fox obtains; in the Radnor, which is also practically the Rose-tree, so far as type of coun- try is concerned; in the Genesee (Iiv- ingston county New Yorl1); and in the Southern substantially Kentucky Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, and the Carolinas. In the Radnor MT. Mather has twenty-five couple of imported hounds that were not entered to fox in England, five couple of English hounds that ran one season on the other side, ten couple of American-bred English hounds Gall of these from the Belvoir stock, the best in the world), and ten couple of American hounds of the best blood in Pennsylvania. Of the Radnor English hounds, those not entered on the other side have shown after one season quite as satisfactorily as the American, while the ten couple raised here have surpassed the work of the native. In fact neither of the Radnor's hierh-hred Americans nor those of the
