The prospects of a new railroad and
silk mill for Reynoldsville should be a
little encouragement for the disconso-
late individuals of the town. "What
is the use of repining, wherever there
is a will there is a way" don't you know.
There is no reason why Reynoldsville
should not lead all the other towns
within radius of fifty miles. We have
the advantages in every way conceivable.
A little more backbone and little less
fear of spending few dollars, is the

The Lodies' Home Journal is one of
the best monthly magazines published.
The subscription price is sl.0Oa a year.
The paper is worth double that amount.
It's columns contain pure literature,
the kind that should enter every
home. One great curse of the present
generation is the cheap, trashy reading
matter that parents allow to enter their
homes for the boys and girls to read.
Try The LadjeS' Home journal one

KILLING WOLVES.
Some of the Methods Used to Get Rid OF
the Pests.

Some of the Methods Used to Get Rid of
the Pests.
Whole families of the animals are
sometimes asphyxiated in their dens.
A wolf of the gray variety generally
makes its home by getting on the side
of dirt guloh and burrowing straight
inward until safe distance from the
surface is reached. There her young are
born and raised to sturdy cub estate
When cowboy locates a den in
which he believes the entire family to
be gathered, composite mass of cotton,
saturated with damp -four sulphur and
other noxious smelling substances, is
thrust into the den and set on fire. The
mouth of the hole is then filled with
clay tamped down solidly, and the i'm
prisoned wolves are speedily suffocated
within. In this way from to 10 and
II wolves, young and old, are wiped
out at one stroke.
Another effective method is to bore
four or more holes in a flat piece of
board and plug them up with beef fat
soaked in strychnine. The odor of the
fat attracts any wolves that may be in
the vicinity, and they lick the fat vora-
oiously until the leavening of poison
does its work upon them and they drop
dead. Very often as many as dozen
wolves are killed off by this process be-
fore the fat in the holes is exhausted.
Strychnine inclosed in capsules is also
used. The capsule is thrust into a slit
cut in a chunk of beef, and the wolf,
boiling the meat whole, falls an easy
victim. Steel traps, baited with raw
beef, are also tried with fair success. -

The Plausible Lie.

We resent calumny, hypocrisy and
treachery because they harm us, not be-
cause they are untrue. Take the detrac-
tion and the mischief from the untruth,
and we are little offended by it. Turn
it into praise, and we may be pleased
with it. And yet it is not calumny and
treachery that do the largest sum of
mischief in the world. They are contin-
ualIy crushed and are felt only in being
conquered. But it is the glistening and
softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy,
the patriotic lie of the historian, the
provident lie of the politician, the zeal
Gus lie of the partisan, the merciful lie
of the friend and the careless lie of each
man to himself that cast that black
mystery over humanity through which
we thank any man who pierces, as we
would thank one who dug we'll in
desert. Happy that the thirst for truth
remains with us, even when we have
willfulIy left the fountains of it.-John
