ARE YOU A DEMOCRAT?

In the utmost spirit of
fairness to both sides in
the contest which is now
being waged tor the con>
troll Of the primaries, the
following is said:
A very open, in our
judgment entirely too
open, invitation has been
given all persons who will
support Bryan and Stew
enson in the coming elec>
ton, to participate in the
primaries Of the demos
cratic party. This is all
we'll and good for the ma
tional election which ap-
proaches, but we believe
is not conducive to har-
mony in local communi-
ties.
An invitation is extends
ed to populists and silver
republicans to come to
the democratic primaries
and assist in controlling
them and then both these
parties ask that a fusion
be made with them.
If they acknowledge al
legiance to the democratic
party by voting at their
primaries. what have the
populists to offer for fu>
sion7 They practically
lose their identity when
they participate in the
democratic primaries and
no self respecting populist
is going to do SO, because
he accomplishes nothing
by so doing and he elim>
mates that party as a flu
sion factor when he does.
If a populist has aban>
doned that party and pros
poses to work and vote
hereafter in the demo>
cratic organization he is
at perfect liberty to parts
cipate at the democratic
primaries.
Democracy will find no
necessity to offer fusion
to the populist organiza>
ton, if the members of
that organization general
ly participate in the dem>
ocratic primaries. Upon
what ground can they de-
mand recognition, if they
propose to play double3
None Of the old time
leaders of the populist
party will vote at the

harmed if they do not,
and harmony is better

The truth is populists,

Rubbering for a Church.

The girls of Freehold, connect.
ed with the Kings Daughters Of
New York, made a collection re-
Gently of old rubber shoes to pur-
chase books for their new library.
The novel scheme netted them
$40. Miss Ella M. Kent, of the
Christian Endeaver society of
Perth Amboy, determined that
the Freehold girls should not out
do them.
With score of assistants she
visited every house in the city,
telling the housewife that they
would be there again on Thurs
day, when they were to be hand
ed out all the rubber shoes in the
house and all the old newspa-
pers.
With dozen big market wag-
ons the girls started out to gath
er in the contributions. Some of
the girls had little express wag-
ons, which they pulled along
from house to house, and when
filled emptied into larger wagons.
They succeeded in collecting g.
600 pounds of newspapers, pub
lished in many languages. AS
for rubber shoes, they could only
find 106 pounds in the whole city
of 10, 900 inhabitants. They also
gathered in &c pounds of old rub
Der fire hose.
For the newspapers they re-
ceived 224 cents a hundred
pounds, for the rubbers 6 cents a
pound, and for the hose u cents

Have sixty.Two Descendants.

Since the commencement. of
their married life, more than 81
years ago, Daniel Hoxworth and
his wife, of Allentown, Pa, have
become the ancestors of poster
ity numbering 62 persons, divid-
ed into many families, but one of
which has ever been visited by
death.
Mr.. Hoxworth is "a years of
age and his wife is II. Both are
in excellent health. They were
married in 1S49 and are the pa
rents of 13 children, which, al
though traditionally an unlucky
number, has proved the reverse
in this case. The aged couple
have As grandchildren, and four
great-grandchildren make up the
aggregate of 81 descendants. To
this number could be added eight
sons-in-law, five daughtersin-law
and several grandsons-in-law and
granddaughters-in-law, which
swell the population of the family
to over 80.
Mr.. Hoxworth was born in AL
lentown, but when boy he went
West, where he lived ten years.
Upon his return to the East he
located in the oil regions, where
he resided for 36 years, and
where he was associated for some
time with John Steele, familiarly
known as "Coal Oil Johnny" He
saw the latter light cigars with
IS bills and work as an ordinary
laborer when his wealth was
gone. Mr.. and Mrs. Hoxworth
resided in Allentown for IA years
and until recently Mr.. HoXworth
followed his trade, that of brick
layer and plasterer. Mr.. Hox-
worth served in the civil war and
is an ardent Republican. He has
never been sick a day in his life
and the same is true of his wife,
who was before her marriage
Miss Amelia Issermeyer, of that
city.

For A Long Cold Winter.

Elias Hartz, the famous goose
bone prophet of Berks county,
for half a century has been look
ed up to as almost infallible by
thousands of intelligent farmers.
People go to him regularly each
Fall from far and near to find
out what sort of Winter weather
to expect-whether it is neces-
sary to lay in a big supply of fuel
and to have heavy flannels ready,
or whether they are to have OPP
en- pasture for their cattle.
For seventy years, since he
was a boy Of Is, Mr.. Hartz has
been making weather predict
ions, in which the farmers of
Berks county have always had
the greatest faith. He has had
letters from leading men in his
section of the State saying that
his predictions have saved them
hundreds, even thousands of dol
lars
The Berks prophet has just
issued the subjoined address
which applies to this as well as
to any other sectionIof the State.
He says;
"Fill up your coal bins and
keep them well filed. You re
going to have a hard winter and a
long one"
The original goose-bone proph,
ct of Berks county stakes his re
putation upon the prediction, and
he thinks you will find that it has
more solid basis than the pred
lotions of the government wealth
er sharps at Washington.

Unused Railroad Tickets.

Some men with unused rail
road tickets on their hands sell
them to scalpers while others go
to the railroad company that is
sued them and obtain their value
in money. Most persons, how
ever, do neither and accept the
loss when the ticket is worth less
than dollar. Indeed many per-
sons do not realize that the rail
road Companies stand ready to
redeem unused tickets even of
small value, so that the companies
must be richer by many thous-
ands of dollars a year through
this ignorance.
Every railroad ticket bears the
name of the general passenger
agent and of the general manager
of the road. 1t is a simple mat
ter to inclose the ticket with a
letter directed to the general pas
senger agent asking him to re-
fund the money paid and explain
ing the reason why the ticket is
left unused in the hands of the
purchaser. 1t is courteous to in
close a stamped envelope in which
the money may be returned.
When all these things have been
done, the company generally ac-
knowledges the receipt of the
ticket holders communication
and promises to investigate the
matter. The investigation con
sists in the proper Identification
of the ticket by the agent who
sold it and little bookkeeping to
set the accounts right. Then
the purchaser receives check
for the amount due from the rail
road company along with a letter
requesting acknowledgment. -

Queer Effects of Whims.

human nature. 81 don't mean

am speaking now of people in
moderate circumstances. l have
in mind a young man whose
tastes run to expensive neck
wear. He wouldn't think of
wearing a tie that costs less than

Now, he can't afford this luxury,
so he has to stint himself by
wearing SO shoes and $15 ready
made suits. He doesn't realize
the incongruity of his attire and
is perfectly happy if his tie is all
right.

His Little Joke.

A gentleman, walking along the
streets Of Chicago on recent
muddy day, suddenly stopped,
and began turning over the mud
with the point of his umbrella.
He had not been occupied thus
for many minutes before street
Arab came along, who, after
watching the operation for a
short time, broke out with, 81
say, guv'nor, what are you look
in for?"
The gentleman looked up and
quietly remarked: "I'm looking
for gold piece, my boy"
"You are, eh? Then I'm with
you, guv'nor;" and the urchin
fell to scraping in the mud with
his fingers for all he was worth.
Soon a second boy came along,
asked the same question, receiv-
ed the same answer, and fell to in
the same manner. Then a third,
a fourth, and a fifth appeared,
and so on, until quite a large
crowd joined in the search, and
kept at it with amazing perse.
verance.
At last, when every available
scrap of mud within a radius OF
at least five yards had been turn.
ed over two or three times, the
crowd began to grow restless,
and the first boy turned to the
gentleman and asked;
81 say, guv'nor, where did you
lose that gold piece?"

tleman, calmly, as he walked
away, 81 have not lost any gold

Cultivating Huckleberries.

Blueberries or hucl1leberries
as the several varieties are known
in different sections of the coun-
try, have been found growing
wild for so long period that
their improvement by selection
and plant breeding has been en-
tirely overlooked. Recently. how
ever, the Maine Experiment
Station has been investigating
the subject, and the conclusions
they arrived at there are that the
blueberry is subject to much
variation, and is greatly improv-
ed by cultivation. The syste-
matte cultivation of blueberries is
very rare although there are sew
eral sections of the country
where it is now being attempted.
The most notable instance is in
Maine, where 40, 900 acres, belong.
ing to single owner are devoted
to blueberry patches. This land
was naturally barren and insult
ed for any other purpose. The
tract is divided into several Sec
tions, whichareleased toresponsi-
BILE parties who resume the whole
care of burning over the land,
keeping off trespassers and
harvesting and marketing the
fruit. The burning over, which
renews the bushes and tends to
check the growth of underbrush,
is done once every two or three
years. 1t should be done early
in the spring before the ground
becomes dry so as to prevent the
burning of the vegetable humus
which destroys the value of the
land. The fires are set by pass
ing around the section to be burn
ed with an ordinary torch, which
is allowed to drag on the ground.
Sometimes a special device is u.s.
ed, consisting of a piece of bent
pipe at one end and fillen with
kerosene. In the other end is
placed plug of cotton, or tow,
which is ignted. Due precaution
hav to be taken to prevent the
fires from getting beyond con-
troll.
The early ripening berries on
these lands are picked by hand
and sent to the city markets,
while the latter fruit is sent to the
canneries. On the older sec
tions especially on the areas
which are to be burned over the
following spring, the fruit is
sometimes gathered with a blue
berry rake. This resembles
somewhat the cranberry rake
used on Cape Cod, and is similar
in shape to a dust pan, the bottom
of which is formed of stiff bar.
allied wire rods. The berries
may be gathered much more
quickly and cheaply by means of
these rakes, but the bushes are
seriously injured by the treat
ment.
