She Celebrates at 100.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Jan. 23.-Mrs.
Michael Derk's one hundredth birthday
anniversary was celebrated yesterday in
Cameron. She once owned a coal tract
worth millions, but sold it for 5000, not
knowing the value of the land. The fifth
generation was represented at the banquet
Fully 115 guests assembled at the ban
quoting board to extend congratulations
and wish her years of life. The old lady
was strong enough to hold an infant in her
arms today and sit with the guests, and
at the conclusion of the celebration give
each smile and exchange good-byes.
She never saw a railroad train or steam
ship and speaks not word Of the English
language, Pennsylvania Dutch being
almost exclusively spoken in that section.
In addition to her two sons she has Is
children, 20 great-grandchildren and 10
great great grandchildren, Charles Aubrey,
of Pearl street, Shamokin, years old, rep
resenting the fifth generation.
Throughout life Mrs. Derk has enjoyed
the best of health and comes of long
lived lineage. One of her most treasured
relics consists Of the shoes she wore when
christened

Hard on the Bishop.

Some years ago there lived in England
a certain bishop who was extremely pom
pous, and very fond of impressing upon
the minds of the poorer people the evil Of
doing wrong. As they never seemed to
do aught but wrong in the worthy man $
opinion, it sometimes became irksome to
these people to hear him constantly ad
monishing them to do right. One of the
bishops habits was to visit the miners a
short distance from his city, and his pres
ence grew familiar to these toilers. Dur
ing one of his calls he found group of
them talking together, and after few pre-
liminary words on his customary subject of
doing right, he asked them what they were
talking Of
ssYoa see, said one of the men, I'VE
found kettle, and us has been er-trying
who can tell the biggest loi to own the ket-
tie.
The bishop was duly surprised, and read
the men a lecture in which he spoke of
how strongly the offence of lying had been
impressed upon him when he was young,
and how he had never told lie in the
whole course of his life. He had hardly
finished when one of the men cried out,
isGi'e him the kettle, Jim Gi' him
the kettle.

Arizona Billiards..
From the Electrical Review

A railroad telegraph superintendent, in
speaking of telegraph poles, said: In
Arizona there is sort of woodpecker that
picks the poles absolutely to pieces, think
ing there may be some insects inside of the
wood. They hear the humming, and
haven sense enough to know what causes
it. Then near the hills the black bears
imagine each pole contains a swarm of bees,
and they climb to the top and chew the
glass insuators to pieces but the sand
storms are the things that create the most
havoc When the winds blow strongly
the sand is drifted at rapid rate, and the
grains cut away the wood at a fearful rate
1t was common thing to have an oak pole
worn to shaving in day $ time, while
have seen poles just ground to the surface
of the earth during single storm. Things
got so bad out there that the company de-
cided to substitute steel poles for the oak
and cedar, but that didn' remedy the evil
at all The sand just wore away the
metal on each side of the pole until the
center was as sharp as razor, and all the
Indians used to shave themselves on the
edge We finally managed to fix things
just painted the poles with soft pitch.
The pitch caught the sand, and now every
pole is about two feet thick and solid as u
rock.

Seems drunk from the eyes that meet yours,
And the white flag Of truce Is uplifted
And the battle is done with the cause
For with aid and abettor sly Cupid,
Though you need him not In your pay.

And own you the Queen OF the fray,
But the fault that find with your tactics.
