ROOST IN A SERIOUS CONDITION.
Reading, Jan. 17-Louis Keuchler,
80 years old, known as the hermit OF
Mt Penn, and the proprietor OF
"Kueehlers Roost," on top of the noun
tain, is seriously III in his cottage.
During the recent cold snap friends
Of the old man have been wondering
how he has been faring in his noun
tain home
This led to a visit to Herr Kuechler
yesterday. and, to the surprise Of the
visitors, they found the aged man in.
He had not seen a soul for weeks.
Though but a shanty rudely impro-
vised. the humble home of Mr. Kuech-
Ter partakes somewhat of the air OF a
Swiss inn.
"KEUCHLER's ROOST."
1t is the retreat where the iate Con-
gresham Ermentrout delighted TO
spend his leisure hours. Samuel j..
Randall. Thomas f. Bayard and other
idignitaries Of the political world have
visited it, and not any notable who
falls to the hospitality of Reading citi-
zens is allowed to depart ere he has
paid a visit to the "RoOst." Editors,
lawyers and artists have called, and
their names are recorded in the regis
ter
For twenty years, Kuechler says, he
waited patiently to buy this mountain
top, ana finally secured it for $40 an
acre. He roamed up and down this for
est as a hunter in his younger days,
and all that time had his eye on this
spot. He lived as a hunter in middle
Germany, on an open mountain plat
eau $500 feet above the sea. He had
as his associates in his favorite sport
members of the royal family Coming
into the new world, he never could
lshake off his inborn love OF solitude.
His flowing gray beard, his cap, his
II German pipe, his genial expression OF
lcountenance, kindly disposition and
his warm-hearted friendship for chill
ldren led many mothers during the last
Summer to point out Kuechler to them
as the Santa Claus Of Mt. Penn.
He has lived in this secluded spot OF
Mt Penn for nearly forty years, anC

VIM. J. Bryan evidently has an am.
bition to rise in the world as he an
nounces he will do less public speaking
and will try to get established in the
editorial chair of good weekly paper.
Mr.. Bryan has made good many mis-
takes but We commend this last move.
He evidently regards the positian as
next to the presidency. He no doubt
realizes some of the privileges of the
position, its great opportunities and
possibilities. Then weekly paper
too, that is the best feature of it all.
He will have plenty of time between
press days for study, time to carefully
pursue his line of philosophic thought
He will no doobt take his turn at feed
ing the press and cuss when he gets a
paper on the rollers. Imagine the
peerless leader swapping stories with
his country subscribers or taking in a
load of cotton wood on subscription.
He has got to do all these things or
never gain caste with his newspaper
associates. He's got to learn how to
talk shop and to become thoroughly
familiay with the smell of the print
shop before he will pass muster. Now
if Mr.. Bryan is more in earnest about
this than he was when he stated out to
be soldier, or when he undertook to
pose as farmer by buying farm, all
right. We will see.

Abraham Lincoln.

When leaving his home at Spring
tld. ILL.,, to be inaugarated President
of the United States. made farewell
address to his old friends and neigh
bors, in which he said, "Neighbors give
your boys chance"
These words come with as much
force to-day as they did when Lincoln
spoke them.

waiting for young, and sturdy fellows
to come and deAelope it and grow mp
with the couItry." All over this broad
land are the young fellows, the boys
Lincoln referred to, seek to better
their conditions ana get on in life.
The country referred to lies along
the Northern Pacific railroad. Here
you can find pretty much anything
you want. In Minnesota, and in the
Red River Valley, of North Dakota,
the finest prairie land fitted for wheat
and grain, or as well as for daring and
diversified farming. In western North
Dakota and Montana are stock ranges

most nutritious of grasses.
If fruit farming REGION in wanted
there is the whole state of Washington
to select from.
As for scenic delights the Northern
Pacific railroad passes through coun-
try unparalleled In crossing the
Rocky and Cascade mountains, the
greatest mountain scenery to be seen
in the United States from car windows
is found. The wonderful bad lands,
wonderful in graceful form and glow.
ing color, are poem. Lakes Pend d.
Or9ille and Ceur d. Alene, are alone
worthy of a trans-continental trip. The
ride along the Clark Fork of the Col
umbia river is daylight dream.
To reach and see all this the North
ern Pacific furnishes trains and SER
vices of unsurpassed excellence. The
most approved aud comfortable pal6ce
sleeping cars; the best dining cars that
can be made; Pullman Tourist cars
good for both first and second class
passengers; easy riding day coaches
