WHIPPLE IN JAIL.
Awaiting Trial for Killing Dillis j.
Koons, of Lemon.

Special TO the Scranton Tribune.
Tunkhannock, Dec. 21.-Otis Whip
ple, the man who stabbed and killed
Dillis j. Koons, at Lemon. this coun-
~, on Tuesday evening, was brought
to Tunkhannock Wednesday evening
by Constable Thomas NJ. Harding and
placed in Jail to await trial on the
charge of murder. He was captured at
his own home after eluding the con-
stable for nine hours. The facts in
the case, as gathered from the people
who were present are as follows:
William Clark, a single man,
lives about a mile and half from
the town Of Lemon, in this county.
On Tuesday evening some Of the neigh
bors happened along and stopped at
his house. In the party were Dillis
Rooms Otis Whipple, Cory Clark,
Will Conrad and woman named Mel
lie Burch. There was cider on hand
and the party proceeded to enjoy them
selves. There had been trouble before
this time between Whipple and Rooms
over Whipple's wife, and under tn"
influence of the cider the men began
to quarrel. Which one struck the first
blow no one seems to know, but they
were soon down on the floor together
and before any Of the par; could ir-
terfere Whipple had drawn the knife
and stabbed Rooms tw ~. OrCc
through the heart and rLro in the
neck, severng the jugular vein, ,i;hcr
wound being fatal. Koons died al
most Immediately without being able
TO speak. Whipple was brought down
here and seemed to be still under the
influence Of the cider and talked in II
rambling manner about Koons having
the knife in his hand and falling on
st, stabbng himself.
This is the only explanation he could
make. Whipple will have Il hearing
before Squire KutZ today. His trial
will probably not occur until the April
term of court. The knife used was
found and brought down here by Con-
stable Harding. 1t was an ordinary
rocket knife and was covered with
blood. The jury of inquest impannelle1
by Dr.. l.. T.. Neele was composed %
the following persons: James Ace,
William Brooks. Robert Lane, George
Kintner, Charles Abner and David
Harvey They returned a verdict in
accordance with the facts.

MULES ENJOYING A HOLIDAY

The superintendent of the Sweet
Springs mine undertook a thorough re-
noVation of the mine the day after the
miners went out on strike, and the
flfst step preparatory to cleaning I'm
was TO remove the mules from the
underground stables and put them out
on pasture
Some of them had not been out OF
the mine for months, number had
been below the surface for two or
three years, and one had not seen
the sunshine for seven years-as long
as Jacob served for Rachel.
They were led from the mine Of
patient creatures, and turned loose
III Morrlsons pasture field. They
stood about close together, knee-deep
IN iush, green grass, and sweet red
Clover, with dropping heads and ewes
half closed, as though dazed bv their
sudden change of circumstances, AT
last, as the sun dropped down behind
boWman,s hill, one gray old veteran
threw UP his head and shifted at the
me fragrant air blowing down the
valley and in moment a little move
ment went through the whole group.
Inc Old leader wheeled about sharn-
~, took long look at the clear skv
above, the brawling little brook chat
terihg over the stones, the grass and
the trees, then he drew up his head
stllfened his tail, and sent forth a pro-
longed, penetrating, strident heehaw-
aWaw, which woke the echoes over IN
maple ridge, and with an awkward
numbering bound he started down the
long slope.
IN an instant the whole mass had
separated and was in motion Such
running, racing, kicking and jumping
were never before seen-stiff knees,
dim eyes and spawned joints all for
gotten in the pure enjoyment of out
of doors They brayed and beloved
ran and kicked, stopped for breath,
then began again.
The whole village gathered at the
fence to see the fun; the men and bows
laughed and shouted, the babies
croWed, and one or two women cried a
little, for there were sores and lame
ness and weakness in plenty.
When night fell they were still roll
ing about and racing, forgetful of the
hunger and thirst that might be salts
fled by the running stream and grass.
Old Mrs. Bascom, who lives at the
edge of the pasture field, was awak-
ened in the dark hours toward morn
ing by the rapid rush of boots thund-
ering down the hillside, and turning
over on her pillow she murmured,
drowsily: Dear Lord who would "a
thought that any livin' critter would
be so glad and thankful for nothin' but
air and freedom. New Lexington

ONE MANS WAY.

One of the cleverer statesmen in New
York, ConSected with a giant dry
goods house in Broadway, earns easily
$4,000 a year. That is gross. He
spends $4,000 annually to hold and in
crease his trade, leaving a net wage
of $4,000. You wonder how it hap
pens that he finds time to do business,
He attends the races day after day and
CANDLES to the furthest limit of his
purse. He breakfasts at DelmoniCo's
and dimes at the Waldorf Astoria. He
occupies the most desirable seats at
the theater and opera. He helps to
support no less than six barrooms in
the immediate vicinity of his place Of
business, and lunches at an expensive
cafe between twelve and one. But
listen He is at all times accompanied
by customer to whom he is showing
things that interest said customer. He
is not obliged to take said customer
through the store and beg him to buy.
He sells him on the course. al Del's,
Boldt's. at the play. He is a charm
ing good fellow, the customer finds.
and presently the two are friends for

ENGROSSERS EARN GOOD PAY.
Penmen Who DO Fine Work Are
Scarce, and Their Skill in Demand.

There are not more than twenty
young men in New York who can han
die pen with sufficient skill to secure
employment as cngrossers, and of
these twenty there are not more chan
five who can produce a successful
piece of work in all branches of the
business script, portraiture, architec-
ture, and co1oring. A large piece of
engrossed work is usually the result of
four or five mems labor, each one being
allotted the part in which he has
shown the greatest Skill. A man may
be excellent at script work and poor
at portraiture, or vice versa.
In city like New York there Is al
ways a demand for engrossed work,
though many persons are inclined to
look upon it as a lost art since the in
PRODUCTION of fancy printing. The
death of a man like former Governor
Roswell p. Flower, for instance, will
precipitate enough work on every ca
pable engrosser in the city to keep him
busy for month. Then there are
constant calls from clubs and civic So
cieties. One expert goes to Europe
every year or so. examines the scripts
and prints in the British museum and
old galleries. and evolves new designs
from them for this fin de steele age
a young man to be successful as an
engrosser must study art and have i'm
aginatiOn. Above all, he must have a
sure eye and a steady hand. One slip
of the pen might spoil not only his
own work, but that OF his associates
who are working on the same piece
with him. An erasure on an elabo-
rate piece of engrossed work can al
ways be detected and is liable to cause
its rejection. A stroke once made is
u stroke for keeps"
The apprenticeship and close appli-
cation to work are often too irksome
for young men, and they drift off into
some other business. But born pen
man. who loves the art for it's owr
sake and will take pains to persevere
Is n man whose pockets are sure &c
bulge in time. Five hundred dollars Is
not large price for a piece OF work
that takes about week and sometimes
$4,000 Is paid Meanwhile. there are
plenty OF pot boilers" going at from

assembled. II was body of men of
immense talent, but 1t seemed at the
outset to possess very little inspira-
ton. The less widely noted of the
members, as it turned out, were in
most cases men who had been select
ed with singular care by their respect
i've governments on account of their
learning, talents, and high character
1t seems TO have devolved upon the
American delegation, as more free
from diplomatic complications than
any of the others, to supply the con-
ference to some extent with real and
practical aims. 1t soon became evil
dent that the Americans were at The
Hague meaning business, and deter
mined either to help accomplish
something Of value or else to show
the world afterward exactly who it
was that prevented the attainment of
results. Last years war had greatly
increased the prestige of the United
States, and had aroused no little
curiosity among the diplomats and
publcists Of other nations gathered at
The Hague as to the part that Ameri-
ca was proposing to play henceforth
in the affairs Of the world at large
The American delegates on their
part seem rather naively to have set
forth their expectation that the great
European authorities on international
law assembled for the purpose of de-
vising ways to do away with the evils
of war would, of course, not think of
breaking up the conference and 60
ing home until they had done some
thing of lasting Importance. All this
was immensely helped out by the mat
ter-of-fact way in which Sir Julian
Paunceforte, head of the British dele
CATION, declared that he was entirely
at one with his American colleagues
in his anticipations. Germany, though
not so openly espousing American
views, was none the less prepared in
advance, as a general policy, to sup
port any line of action that the United
States and England might agree upon.
But for the American delegation, the
atmosphere of diplomatic suspicion
would scarcely have been dispelled, !
and the conference, it is to be feared, |
might have amounted to very little
indeed. 1t is not so much that the
Americans led the work of the con-
ference as that the frank and straight |
forward spirit that they manifested
aroused earnestness and gave direct
ton to the purpose Of their eminent
European colleagues

PRAISE VERSUS CONCEIT.

There are people who declare that
praise always makes people conceited
Don't you believe it," For my part !
am always plying the lady who was
recently voted the best-dressed wo-
man in London society" Think what
an anxious time she must have trying
to live up to her reputation! | once
knew person of ordinary intelli-
gence who wrote little in dilettante
way, and sometimes enjoyed finding
little things to say which struck her
as appropriate. One day some kind
person told her that she had an
original mind" The result was that
she felt absolutely incapable for about
three weeks, and that her work was
done really i'll, so oppressed was she
by the telling that everything she put
forth must be original or die. Again,
picture to yourselves the sufferings of
a girl who knows she is called a
beauty on days when she has cold
or bilious attack, or when her hair
keeps hopelessly out of curl. Kind
people, when you give praise, | be-
seech you, qualify it. Tell Belle that
she looks pretty sometimes, and
Moderna that she is not so often
stupid as are other people. But go no
further; commendation can be crush
ing.

GRANDPA"

Daily | see him pass,
Silvered the hair on his brow;
Bent with the weight OF years,
The shoulders unburdened now.
His hands behind him clasped,
In clasp that seems to meet
A hand, whose tender touch,
He longs from the past to greet!
The smile on his lips is sweet
With the sunset glow of years;
The look in his eyes is calm,
Untouched by long-shed tears,
A link 'twixt heaven and earth,
Serene he goes his way,
Giving to clouded souls
Glimpse of a fairer day!
Often ! ponder long,
On the nook he calls his own
Have children about his knees
From the home nest long since
flown?
Is grandpa" the patron saint
OF infantile joys and pains?
And, counting the smiles he gives,
Whose are the richer gains?
Oh, hair of silyered snow,
And eyes Of patient trust,
Beside thy golden years
Our own are but as dust.
For thou hast the lesson learned,
And thou alone canst teach,
Whore the treaSlIr Of treasure lies
For which we vainly reach!

OLD LETTERS.

The house as silent, and the light
Was fading from the western glow;
| read, till tears had dimmed my sight,
Some letters written long ago.
The voices that have passed away,
The faces that have turned to mold,
Were round me in the room today
And laughed and chatted as of old.
The thoughts that youth was wont to
think,
The hopes now dead forevermore,
Come from the lines of faded ink
As sweet and earnest as of wore.
| laid the letters by and dreamed
The dear dead past to life again.
The present and its purpose seemed
A fading vision full of pain.
Then, with sudden shout of glee.
The children burst into the room.
Their little faces were to me
AS sunrise in the cloud of gloom.
The world was full of meaning still.
For love will live though loved ones
die;
L turned upon lifes darkened hill
And gloried in the morning sky.
