IDEA CAME IN DREAM.
Invention of California Woman Will
be Worth a Fortune.

be Worth Fortune.
A dream that came to Mrs. Jessie
H. Higgley, Of Niles, Cal, not long
ago has proved to be worth at least
SIS, 900 to her, and she may realize
much larger amount from it. She
has been offered the sum named for
the product of her dream, but regards
it as worth far more and will refuse
the offer.
The unitarian dreamer is the wife
Of Seward o. Higgley, the station
agent of the Southern Pacific company
at Niles. They have lived in that
quiet community for some years, and
Mrs. Haggley's housewifely instincts
have become proverbial. Her house is
always Just So and when things do
not go right Mrs. H1sgley makes
them go her way If there is anything
new that will add to the comfort of
her home Mrs. Higgley secures it.
Among some of her recent addi-
tons to the household furniture are
iron beds. The beds proved very
good, but the artistic eye of the house
wife was offended by the lack of
drapery about them Then she found
to her sorrow that there was no salts
factory method known to the trade OF
adding drapery to an iron bed so that
it could be removed quickly when
cleaning or sweeping the room was in
order.
The lack of this contrivance was
such an annoyance to the lady that
she dreamed about it, and in that
dream she saw just what was neces~
sary to make the hearts of the house
wives in the country glad. She did
not wait for the dream to become
dim, but got right up and made a
rough drawing and description of
what she had seen. The next day she
worked it out carefully. had a sample
made, and a few days ago received her
patents covering the invention. It is
a little brass clasp that fits about the
posts and will hold cords or wires for
carrying drapery. 1t can be removed
or attached in a second of time, and,
once on the post, is immovable until
released by hand.-Los Angeles Elk.

A PROSPEROUS TOWN is YORK, PA.

Alas poor Yorrick! though a telling
expression in the books of a great
writer would not be applicable at all
to the growing city of York, Pa.
There is much in reputation. There
is something IN a name. Just let a
lecturer or a preacher get name,
and though his lectures or discourses
are not striking, yet the crowds will
come, drawn not always by the real
merit of the speaker nor the excellence
of the service SO much as bv the
gravitation toward a name and the
force of example in others.
Let town become noted for push.
energy and progress--a place where
living is good, work plenty and wages
satisfactory and people will drift there
and If that town rises up to meet the
claims by it and upon it the future of
that place is settled.
1t is not many years since York
was an unlmporlant town in the Key
stone State. 1t had upon it the
incubus OF non progressive people
within and around it. Yet today it is
emerging from every condition and
appearance of fossilzation and is
taking its place among the noted
cities of our commonwealth. 1t is
situated beyond the last range of the
Allegheny system; consequently the
region about it is vast plain of ex-
cellent farming land. You may stand
upon high ground near it and gaze
upon the scene, the mountains lie
like blue border upon a beautiful
fabric woven with natures inlmtable
skill. Nearer We behold the waving
outline Of .he undulating hills cleft to
their base just before our eyes by the
gorge which allows the Codorus Creek
to pass through there or its winding
way to the broad Susquehanna which
sweeps down to the bay almost at the
foot OF yonder knob which marks the
terminus of this range of hills to
Right at our feet occupying many
square miles of this beautiful, fertile |
territory lies the city with its many |
spires marking the existence of the
churches, telling their story of the |
worship Of God and the setting forth |
Of the principles which underlie the
origin and growth Of nation, state, city, |
business, society, home and all
You see, too, the almost uncount-
able chimneys from which pour, day
after day, the black smoke of industry
md manufacture, making this place
manufacturing centre, something like
small Pittsburg.
Fine school houses, well paved |
streets, large reservoirs and elegant
esidences show that the people are
eaching out after true conditions
With a commendable public spirit.
A very large and fine hotel occupies
,ne corner of the Central Square,
making the traveller think of our
argest cities, but on other corners
till remain the low old fashioned
tructures of the 18th century. An
obstacle to progress and a mark of
he close and graspIng, selfish spirit
which knows nothing but narrow
of wealth.

Railroad Shows, who are coming here
shortly, while they have everything
strictly up-to date in the artists and

not give a topheavy exhibition. One

confusion and tumble OF the three ring

season is composed of the highest
quality performers that could be Sc
cured IN America and Europe. First

wearing low shoes have been so
severely bitten on the ankle that in

that causes the trouble has not been

the greatest sufferers.
