You know that pitcher of ice water

They had left him, as they supposed,
safely in his bedroom on the second
floor of the hotel. and shortly afterward
he had been found in the yard with a
broken leg. After he was safely back
in bed, his leg set in splints and quiet
restored, he told how it all happened.
Il was lying on my back in bed when
I heard a faint sound of music. On
looking about to try to find out where
it came from I saw little drum ma
jor, about three or four inches high,
coming through the transom over the
door into my room. A complete band
followed him, and behind that came
regiment of infantry and then a bat
terry of artillery. Executing a right
flank they marched diagonally down
the wall until they reached the side
wall; they followed another right flank,
and still following their diagonal direc.
ton, the foot of my bed soon cut them
off from my sight. The music for some
time sounded family, and then grew
louder again I glanced over the side
of the bed just in time to see the drum
major execute a left flank and the
whole outfit came marching down
parallel to my bed. Then the beastly
cheek of their coming into my room
without knocking struck me, and
reaching for my slipper I made a swipe
at the drum major with it. He at
once grew seven feet tall, and I don't
remember what happened afterward I

1t was late at night in the Smoking

just about to take a drink, when he
suddenly put down his glass and turn

Bill, being experienced. quietly asked:
Had he a. pink tail, yellow eyes and
a purple head ?"s ss.., ~. ~. .s,s
That's him. gasped his friend, I'M,
dramatically.
Bill arose and piloted him to his
stateroom and sent in all haste for the
surgeon, but he had to sit on his
friend before than worthy arrived.
He came from Arkansas, and, while
they all liked him, it wearied them
not little to have him nightly drink
himself into comatose condition in
the club. Some one always had to
convoy him home and, as he was gem
orally limp and helpless, it was a SER
vice calling for no little bodily exer-
ton. When they demonstrated with
him, he put them off with false and
specious promises Of leaving on the
| morrow
He had been SO used to losing con-
seriousness in the club and waking up
in his own bed that when he came to
himself on this particular morning he
| thought the noise and rattle and a GER
tain swaying motion he was conscious
of was due to last nights potations. At
last he opened his eyes, and the shock
brought him bolt upright in an in
slant. There could be no doubt of it,
he was in a smoking car of train go
ing rapidly he knew not where. Look
ing wildly around, he discovered an
express tag tied to the lapel of his coat
which read, My name is George
| Blank. Please put me off at Little
Rock" Just then the conductor stopped
at his seat and said:
so you're awake at last, are you?
You had a whole wagon load of
peaches last night and a devil of a
time we had getting you on board
Here's letter for you Opening it he
read
Dear George: You said last night
you were going away and, fearing you
might oversleep and miss your train,
we made certain of your catching it in
this way"
He read no further. but YEARLY laid
his aching head on the back of the seat
and gave himself over to unkind
thoughts.
He was from Kentucky, and a we'll
known member of the club in an East
ern city. AS he entered the smoking
room number of his friends, as they
rose to greet him, glanced with antic-
ipatory relish at five gallon demijohn
he was carrying. Placing the jug on a
convenient table, he said to the wait
ing group:
There is some of the finest bour-
bon that ever came out of the blue
grass regions of Old Kaintuck. and lit
tie of the same vintage remains there
now. So precious is it that for fear
of accident 1 have carried it all the
way in my hand. For thirty years

Busines Booming.

The largest hardwood sawmill in the
State is operated at Heating Summit by
the Emporium Lumber Company. 1t
has been doing steady business for
several years under most careful and ex-
perienced management. The period Of
waiting for revival of remunerative
business is at an end as the present out
put of the mill will show In coDver-
sation with one of the firm, William L.
Sykes, recently, we were informed that
the shipments for March exceeded those
made in any one month during the last
six years. The shipments of April,
however, exceeded those of March by
several thousand dollars. Twenty-four
carloads were sent from the Heating
Summit yard in one day and twenty-one
one other day. The mill is capable of
meeting still greater demands upon it, so
that with even small margin, the COM
pany with its shrewd management, can
see bright future for its lumber trade.

Only a Straw.

After the great fire of 1884, that
wiped out of existence the
north side of Fourth street from
Chestnut street to Broad street and
the east side OF Broad street to
Fifth street, the valuation of En-
porium Borough was so low that it
never reached, up to 1887, more
than S145,00O upon which to lay
our taxes. After the establishment
of the iron works in 1887, the val
uation started at S155, 600 and in
1SS9.was 5000, ,0O0in 1890, 1854 900.
The establishment of this industry
in Emporium was an inducement
for our moneyed men to invest in
handsome business blocks and resi-
dences. When the iron works re-
sumes operations additional de
mand will be made for residences,
better rents will be paid and more
money will be in circulation and
more will have the money with
which to pay the rent. Prosperity
is coming this way. Come, Mr.
Independent, let us get aboard the
band wagon.

The CrOakers.

l see by last weeks Independent
that Hacket is a kicker on the ex-
oneration of the taxes to the Sinne-
mahoning Iron and Coal Co., pro-
viding they can make some ar
rangements to have the plant re-
sumo work, and expresses himself
in a very discouraging and disre-
spectful manner of the employees
of the plant; as to additional police
force, extra taxes, &c. / think
the old man is getting childish and
does not know what he is talking
about, but that is Hacket for you.
/ have been in this town for a
number Of years. and have never
yet known anything in the way OF
Improvement, or that would benefit
our town, but what Hacket opposed
it, even to a new School House,
advocating at the time our new
school house was built, was foolish
ness; should educate the children
as he was educated, in log school
house. Presume if he had his way
the present administration would
be run as it was in Geo. Washing
toms time and would do away
with all other modern improve
ments. | advocate the starting of
the Iron Works, or any other i'm
provement, and the inducements
which are offered to bring them
here is rights the only thing to
bring industries. Kane, Johnson
burg, Port Allegany and all other
towns around us are Offering in
ducements, and why should not
we? Our town has good shipping
facilities, plenty of land, good
schools, churches and as pleasant
and healthy a place to reside in as
there is in the state of Penn "a. ,and
l defy the naming of any place
where the people are more hospit-
able and kind in case of sickness
or death, than Emporium. Why
listen to the dictates of Hacket, or
any other croaker. The hdepe"-
dent speaks about such firms as G.
B. Howard & Co., Emporium
Machine Co., and Emporium Mill
ing Co., being eXonerated from
taxes. | doubt very much if the
above firms whom he refers to
would ask for it, as ! know they
are always the first to come to the
front, both with money and work,
when to the business interests of
Emporium. The PRESS is correct
and expresses the sentiments of
the people, in always booming the
interests of the town and county.

Memorial Day.

shall we hold memorial ser
vices at Emporium this year" is
question asked us often. Well,
that is question to be decided by
the people themselves. 1t is ap-
parent to all that the ravages of
time and disease are increasing the
death rate in the ranks of the G..
\. r., that in q few more years
there will be no veterans to follow
the comrades to the cemetery or to
strew flowers on their graves. The
question comes to us more forcible
each year; who shall perpetuate
the memory of these heroes who
have passed to their reward. There
fore, we appeal to the patriotic
citizens of our town and community
to meet at the City Hall and dis
cuss the matter and appoint a COM
mittee of the citizens to meet a
committee of the G.. A. X. and
arrange for a general service on

Small Blaze.

About half-past three o'clock
Sunday morning our citizens were
aroused from their peaceful slum-
bers by an alarm of fire sounded
by the furniture factory whistle.
Upon investigation it was found
that some SCOT and wood dust that
had accumulated ON the rafters in
the boiler room of the furniture
factory had become ignited by d
spark from the fire boxes and was
making quite Il blaze when discov-
cred by night watchman i. l..
Rendt. The fire laddies responded
promptly but their services We're
not required as Mr.. Rendt soon
had the blaze eXtinguished with
the aid of q small hose attached to
