FOOT BALL SATURDAY.
Carbondale Players Figure in TIVE
Games on the Gridiron.

The Indians succeeded in defeating
the eleven representing the School of
I.ackawanna at Alumni park Saturday
before a small number of spectators.
There would probably have been a
much larger crowd in attendance If the
weather had not been so cold and
threatening. The local eleven were
weakened to a great extent by the alb
sence of several of their men, the reg
ular center, Coggins, being unable to
play.
The teams were about even in
weight, with the advantage slightly IN
favor of the visitors. The game, al
though exceedingly slow, was not en-
tirely devoid of interesting features.
Clark's run in the second half was an
exceedingly pretty one, but not a mod
icum superior to the long run made
by Hodgins, Of the Indians, who Sc
cured the ball on a tumble. Neither
side scored the first half, but both
succeeded in making touchdowns the
second half. The visitors failed at the
goal. while Murvin kicked a pretty one
for Carbondale, making a result six
to five, in the Indians favor
The Indian Juniors went over the
mountain and tried conclusions with
the city team of that village on Sat
urday. They sustained a defeat at tine
hands of the Maple City boys, who,
though not nearly as skillful, were
much heavier than the Indians. The
game was an interesting one, and Vas
witnessed by a large number of per-
sons. Nealon, Berry and Cline did ex-
cellent work for the Indians, while
Ham and Swift did efficient service
behind Honesdale's line. The game re.
suited six to nothing.

suitors were required to lCok for the
portrait of their lady love in one of
three chests. We are obliged to make
choice of the best things under SINH
lar circumstances of disadvantage. But
the Apostle Paul was inspired to know
the best things, ard refers to them III
his prayer for the philippians, and
we have only to study this prayer to
know what is best for us. The first
best thing is love. abounding in knowl-
edge and good judgment. The young
man who married a girl with a dolls
face, did not love according to knowl"
edge. The idolized daughter who ran
man did not love according to good
judgment. There is much need of n
well regulated love,
The second best thing is ability to
discriminate things that differ. Ques-
tions of casuistry, questions of amuse-
mant, questions of conscience, these
all require spiritual discrimination.
1t Is best to be on the safe side. The
coachman who could drive within six
inches of a precipice. The third best
thing is sincerity without offense. Sim
cerity is being rather than seeming to
be, and being what we ought to be cuts
of all affectation and playing of parts.
The man who is too plain and too
blunt is perhaps sincere, but he is not
without offense. The fourth best thing
is the right kind of fruitfulness. The
end of tree of human life is fruit
fulness. Some trees and some persons
are forever blossoming, but they bear
no fruit. The fruit that Paul refers to
is Christian fruit and it can only be
borne by those who abide in the heav-
enly vine. The perfection of all these
things will be seen in the day Of
Christ"

MINING SILVER COINS.

Quite surprise and little eX-
element resulted yesterday on the
state fair grounds by. the finding of
small-sized silver mine, the pro-
duct of which was already smelted
and stamped with all the necessary
insignia of Uncle Sam to make it
good for all mercantile purposes.
As Fort West, of Jefferson, was
walking along the east side of the
poultry house he came across a
gopher mound, from the side of
which he espied silver halt dollar
sticking out. Picking up the coin,
he kicked the comparatively loose
dirt, revealing few pieces more of
like kind and, continuing his in
vestigation, obtained the sum of
S.. 90. By this time other men
had gathered and two young fell
lows were similarly successful III
adjacent gopher diggings, finding
s.. 80 each, making $3.50 i'll all
and all in 5o-cent pieces, the latest
date on which was 1871 and the
Oldest 1912.
Old attendants at the fair say
that at one time saloon building
stood on the spot and small hinge
was found among the coins, as
though from a tin box, probably a
cash box. The gophers had car
ried the coins around in their path
ways and evidently carried on quite
an underground traffic with their
limited capital. A good many
thought there was more money
around the same cache, but consid,
erable digging failed to bring it up,
If there is anything in the world
the state board of agriculture
under present conditions, would
like to find better than a silver
mine on the fair grounds it woult
be deposit of gold in unlimited
, quantity. Statesman.

Our prune growers should read
this description carefully and pro-
ceed to make one of these machines
before next prune harvest. 1t is
now in operation near Salem.
BY its use prunes are graded into
two sizes and the leaves and twigs
and much of the dirt washed out.
After passing through the grader
the prunes roll down an inclined
plane thickly set with pointed
tacks, which prick the skins and
save dipping the fruit in I've. The
machine is not patented so that any
one may use it. The cost is only a
few dollars.
