Let the Eagle Loose.

The Keystone band and fire companies
will hold joint meeting this evening
to talk about having big celebration
in Reynoldsville on July lth. If the
boys decide to celebrate and they cer-
tainy will, our people can rest assured
it will be celebration second to none
in this section of the state. The citi-
zens of Reynoldsville are ready for a
patriotic demonstration. The young
and old alike are bubbling over with
patriotism. 1t will be an easy matter
to get up enthusiasm this year. 1t is
not necessary to dwell on this matter
longer, for we feel sure we will have a
celebration. Just little over five
weeks remain to get ready for the cele-
bration, which means there is no time
for delay.

Didn't Bite So Well This Time.

One week ago Sunday it was reported
at this place in the forenoon that a
great naval battle had been fought be-
tween Simpsons feet and the Spanish
fleet, and that the entire Spanish fleet
had been destroyed and two of our
vessels were sunk, one. the Indiana,
with all on board Our people were
greatly exercised over the report and
when the Pittsburg Sunday papers
arrived here in the afternoon the supply
was not sufficient for the demand. But
there had been no naval battle. Last
Sunday forenoon report was sent out
from Pittsburg that Sampson had met
the Spanish fleet and annihilated it and
two OF our vessels were disabled. There
was little credence given to the report
this time and there was not such an
anxious crowd awaiting the arrival of
the Sunday papers. The people had
been fooled once. The newsdealers
here are not responsible for these false
reports. The Pittsburg Times, of Mon
day, which does not issue Sunday
edition, got off the following:
There were some sheets In our town
They were so wOndrons wise
They sunk Il great big Spanish fleet
TWIN sunset and sunrise.
But when IL saw that IL was sunk
With all its might and main
IL straightway did unsunl itself,
And rode the waves again.

She Answered an Advertisement.

n man at Eleanora, who has faith in
advertising, wanted housekeeper and
he planted nice little advertisement
i'm newspaper. making known his
wants to the world at large, and the
"ad" blossomed and brought forth
what was desired. A woman in Ten
nessee answered the lad" and arrange
ments were made for her to come to
Eleanora and in due time she arrived,
accompanied by two small children, and
was established as housekeeper for
the advertiser. Now, as is usually the
case when woman is foolish enough to
answer such advertisements, she wishes
they were home again. The man went
home one night last week full of
"snake-killer' and proceeded to abuse
the woman shamefully and finally
turned her and the children out from
under his roof. The woman, n stranger
in strange land, penniless, with two
helpless children to look after, was in
sorry plight indeed. A kind hearted
man at Eleanora took pity on the woman
and children aud offered them shelter
for few days until the woman could
discover If the law would compel the
man to give her money enough to return
to Tennessee. 1t is not likely that she
will be quick to answer such an adver-
tisement soon again.

Two Groundhogs in One Hole.

During the past few weeks Harry
Bryan, of West Reynoldsville, has been
spending some OF his leisure time in
hunting woodchucks, commonly called
groundhogs, but also served at a popu-
lar Reynoldsville hotel as "possum''
after one of Mr.. Bryan's successful trips
to the woods. On one of these ground
hog hunts, probably the last, Harry
was more than successful. One of the
animals had been dug out of hole, and
what was supposed to be another was
seen farther back in the same hole.
Mr.. Bryan got down on hands and
knees, reached in and, catching it by
the back, brought it out to find, not a
grounding, but skunk. Just what
happened in the next few minutes can
be imagined better than described.

Might Have Cremated Himself.

Samuel Travis, alias Thompson, with
another alias or two attached to his
appellation, was arrested in this place
Saturday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Miller on charge of larceny and locked
in the town bastile for safe keeping
until the evening train when he was
taken to the county Jail by Sheriff
Burns. About $50 Ed. Schultze was
passing the lookup and he noticed
smoke Issuing from the crevices. Some
small boys were looking in at one of the
windows and Ed. could hear man inside
swearing professionally. He stopped
and asked the prisoner where all the
smoke was coming from and the fellow
answered that he was smoking.
Schultze knew there was fire some-
where in the building and when he
gained an entrance he discovered that
the bed clothes in the prisoners cell
were afire and Travis was standing be-
tween the fire and the door of his cage
to keep Schultze from seeing where the
fire was, and then the lookup was SO
full OF smoke it was almost suffocating.
Had it not been for Schultze's timely
appearance it is likely Travis would not
be one of the boarders in the county
jail to-day. He denied having set the
clothes afire, but had he suifocated it
would nhve beenE clear case Of felo-de-

Dead and dust. but long ago
Marched away In flush of manhood,
Glory girt--this dust below.
Marched away as brave men. hearing
Call of country, yours and mine,
From the hillside and the valley,
From the hemlock and the pine.
Hearts aleap and pulses bounding,
Loyal, whether gray or blue;
Loyal, whether cross or crescent:
Duty-that was all they knew.
Oh. the glory of their story.
Oh, the graves that dot The plain,
Oh, the mournful tale of battles.
Oh, the partings and the pain!
Years and years the grass has blossomed,
Faded, died, their graves upon;
Years and years, yet not forgotten.
Mem'ries such as theirs live on.
And upon fame's sacred altar.
Writ mid deeds of heroes, glow
Names OF these, our soldiers, sleeping,
soldiers" neither friend" nor foe"
And as soldiers weave them garlands,
Rose and lily DER them spread;
Love and tears-a nations tribute
To nations glorious dead.
