Life has surged for decades over the black
way Of Archey road, from ''the mills to the
"ca pbage gardens" and Mr.. Dooley has
watched its comedy and tragedy with keen
eve. To him it has all been something more
than life, Just as if he would say with the
oriental singer-life is good, but not life in
Itself. Out of the shadows OF Archey road
comes "Petey Scanlan" and his mother, the
sweet-faced little woman" Seaman as
child is "curly haired angel but the
change comes. Why! Let Mr. Dooley
answer:
Sometimes 1 think they'se poison in th'
life iv big city. Th flowers won't grow
here no more thin they wud in tannery, an
th' BURR have no song; an tn chllder "
dacint men an women come up hard in tn
mouth an with their hands raised again thelr
kind"
Scanlan robs a man and in the doing OF it
nearly beats him to death. He flies before
the police and takes refuge in his own home
He stands behind the door of the cottage
gun in hand, waiting for the officers to enter
The police appeal to his mother to induce
him to surrender without battle.
"She made curtsy to thin, an wint in
dures Twas less than a minyit before she
come out, clingin' to tn la-ad's arm. Hell
po.' she says. Thanks be, though he's wild
lthey'se no crime on his head Is there
dear? NO. says he, like tn game kid he is
Wan iv the polisman stharted to take hold ~
him. but tn lad pushed him back, an hi
wint to tn wagon on his mothers arm"
"And was he really innocent?" Mr.. Nc
Kenna asked.
"No," said Mr. Dooley "But she nve
knowed it. TIL OF man come home an
found her. She was sittin' in big chai
with her apron in her hands an tn pictur
iv tn la-ad in her lap"
Some critics urge authors to endeavor t.
, outstrip past efforts. But one feels like>say
ing to Mr.. Dunno not to ever attempt t.
write anything better than this. If tn
fame of Mr.. Dooley and his creator is to res
upon nothing else the story Of "Petey Scar
2 Ian" is sufficient foundation. To read !
. and keep the big lump out of the throat, tn
tear from the eye, is an impossibility.
Molly, the new woman, and Donahue, he
father, are perpetuated in this first volum

Weather and Crops.

The past week was unseasonably
cool with less than the usual a
mount OF sunshine. The daily av-
erage temperature was from to I
degrees below the normal. Light
frosts were observed in many To-
calities but no damage resulted.
The amount of rainfall was ample
for present needs, and in the larger
part of the state the pastures have
been improved and the soil is moist
enough for fall blowing. Seeding
of fall wheat aud rye is in progress
with prospective increase in the
acreage of wheat.
The greater part of the corn crop
is now sufficiently mature to with
stand frost and considerable por-
ton is being cut and shocked. The
|ripening of late corn has been re-
tarded but it is doing fairly we'll,
and with normal weather in the
near future it will soon be safe
Late potatoes need two or three
weeks to ripen.

SENATOR GEORGE GRAY


Quoting its sessions in Canada, as this
commission will resume its work about
the time the peace commissioners sail
for Paris.
The position was offered to the sena-
tor several days ago, but at that time
was declined. The president, however,
further urged Mr.. Gray to accept, and
his final agreement was secured today.
Senator Gray is one of the best known
men in public life, having been prom
inent figure in the senate for the last IL
years. He was born in Newcastle, Del
in 1910, and was graduated at Prince
ton. He served as attorney general of
Delaware and later was appointed to
the senate when Thomas F. Bayard en-
tered the first Cleveland cabinet as Sec
rotary Of state. Mr.. Gray has been in
the senate continuously since then,
serving with distinction, being one of
the recognized forces in debate and in
the shaping Of important legislation
On foreign questions, Mr.. Gray has
generally been regarded as opposed to
expansion, his senate votes having been
against the annexation of Hawaii
Now that the commission is complete
it is expected that the American case
will be made and the commission given
it's final instructions. The commits
sioners will meet here about the 18th
inst, prior to sailing for Paris, at which
time they will be made aware in gen.
eral way of the view of the administra.

Many Lunches All Alike.

The inhabitants of small village
not 20 miles from Bradford are noted
for a peculiar fondness for currant
cake. A stranger who had obtained
work in one of the factories there
had an example of this. He had
taken his breakfast with him, tied
up in cotton handkerchief, and on
his arrival at the mill he was look
ing around for a place to put it in
until the meal hour should arrive.
The foreman, seeing his dilem-
ma, called out to him:
'What hes ia j. thi henkercher,

chiefs, tina can chuck it on that

A Critical Time.
During the Battle Of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
de Cuba Were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammuni-
ton and Rations to the Front Saved
the Day.
P. e. Butler, of pack train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23d, says: 1--WE all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was case of rush
and rush night and day to keep the
troops supplied with ammunition and
rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
we We're able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect savior of our army,
for if the packers had not been able to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that wagon train could
use. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and | know in four cases
it absolutely saved life."

RISING IN THE cARoLlNEs.

Remaining Group of Islands In the Far
Pacific Lost to Spain.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-The Caro-.
line group of islands which belong to
Spain, is undoubtedly by this time in
the hands of the natives of the group,
with the Spanish garrison wiped out.
News of a revolution in the islands
reached this city in letters from Homo.
lulu brought by the steamer Coptic. The
story was borne to Honolulu by trad
ing schooner which touched at the Caro-
lines. Two native kings of the group
who had long been at war with each
other some months ago declared a truce,
combined their forces and began war
against the Spanish authorities. The
Spaniards were concentrated at Panope,
and it was here the natives made their
attack. The blacks fought with such
vigor that the Spaniards were COM
PEELED to retreat and take shelter in the
barracks, which they held. The gun
boat Quiros was then dispatched to
Guam for aid, but on arriving there
found the American flag floating. The
Quiros never returned, and at zap, in
the Caroline group, it was thought she
was lost. The superstition is that the
Ladrone garrison of Americans had pos
session of her. There were 200 soldiers
in Ponape town, but these We're poorly
supplied with ammunition and in no
position to resist prolonged attack
The belief is that the place was captured
and the Spanish garrison slain.
The entire group, unless the Spaniards
made an unexpected stand, must be by
this time in the possession of the ma.
tives. This story is confirmed by James
Wilder of Honolulu, who recently re-
turned to Hawaii on a tour of the Caro-
lines. He said at that time the natives
were much discontinued, and We're pre-.
pairing for q revolt.
