Marrow Escape From Drowning.

Harry, six-year-old son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Morgan Wilson, Of Sykesville,
came very nearly being drowned last
Friday at Sykesville. Harry, in
company with another little boy Of
about his own age, was playing along
Sugar Camp Run, which flows past the
coal company's works and empties into
Stump creek near Hotel Sykes, when
Harry tumbled into the run, which, on
account OF the recent rains and melting
snow, had been transformed from
placid stream to a raging torrent.
Harry's little playmate started towards
town to give the alarm, but the swift
current bore Harry along so fast that
he was carried through town before his
playmate got there. He had gone
through under railroad bridge near
Palace Restaurant. under Main street
bridge below hotel when his clothing
caught on wire fence that is stretched
across the run below the railroad
bridge. Some men, who were nearby,
pulled the boy out. DIR. Heighneigh, OF
Troutville, and DR.. Wood, OF Sykesville,
happened to be near where the boy was
taken out Of water and they both began
to work with him, and after ten min
utes Of hard work succeeded In resusci-
tating the lad, who was apparently dead
when taken out OF water. 1t was close
call for Harry. Had he remained in
the water minute longer he could not
have been resuscitated. The distance
he was carried along In the mad waters
was over one thousand feet, and he was
under the water most of the time

Valley to Reynoldsville that they are
passing over historic ground. Just
eighty.eight years ago this month
Major William McCleiland marched
within thirty rods Of our village with
an army of two hundred and thirty-two
men on their way from near Carlisle to
Erie. They camped over night at
Rathmel and we presume they ate din
ner near Sandy Valley, as the roads are
usually bad in the month OF March,
they would travel pretty slow. There
are still some plain landmarks to show
the route they travelled.
A young man in town would like to
know whether blue jays catch mice?
He saw blue jay fly through the air
the other day carrying a mouse. He
says be don't know whether the blue
jay had the mouse, or the mouse had
the blue jay.
A gentleman in our town wrote let

read 1t to the crowd, he studied 1t for
some time then gave it up in despair.
The poor man could not read his own

Patronize Your Home Merchants.

The following from an exchange is
worth thinking about: "Who sympath-
lied with you when your little girl was
sick the other day? Was it your home
merchant or was it Sears, Roebuck &
Co? When you were raising money to
buy site for new industry for your
town, who contributed the most gener-
ously to the enterprise, John Wana-
maker or your home merchant? Who
carried you last winter when you were
out OF job and had no money? Was it
Montgomery, Ward & Co., or was it
your home merchant? When you want
to raise money for the church or some
needy person do you write to the "Fair"
store in Chicago or do you go to your
home merchant? How much does Siegle,
Cooper & Co. give toward keeping up
the sidewalks Of the town or paying the
minister's salary? When you were sick
how many nights did Hibbard, Spencer
& Barrett sit up with you? When your
loved one was buried was it Marshall
Field & Co. who dropped tear of
sympathy and uttered cheering word,
or was it your home merchant?

Mines, was found lying across the track
dead. The electric haulage system is

Morelli, in walking across the track,
ran his forehead against the trolly wire

Newspapers are not grindstones. II
you have an ak to grind don't trot up to

Newspapers are not the medium in
which to settle personal grievances. II
you have suggestion for the public
good, the newspapers will receive it
gladly. If you have something to say
on public questions that is worth while
saying, you will not need to resort to
unsigned communications TO give it
publicity. II you are afraid to stand up
for your own convictions, either aban-
don them or cultivate more backbone.

open to discussions Of public affairs

sonal venom.-Clarion RepubIicdn.
The canning factory promoter is get
ing in his work all over the country. A
few years ago he promoted creameries,
which paid big money to only the pro-
noter, very few of the creameries run
ming very long on account of the lack of
cream; the promoter having taken all
the ''cream" with him when he left for
other green fields and pastures new.
Like the creameries, the canneries are
all right as long as they run and have
a market for the products, and they can
only be run when the produce raisers
have sufficient fruits and vegetables to
supply the factory. y.-Punxsutawney

Revenge is sentiment that cannot
enter the breast of good man. 1t Is

man knows that every wrong act brings
inevitably its own punishment, and II

upon whom he seeks to innict pain, he
would see sorrow and worries and per-
plexities enough to transform his hate
into pity. -Eas. Brady Reriesc.

NEW CORN FOR FEED.

Opinion That 1t Is Deficient In
Important Elements.

It cannot be said that corn is the
cause of hog cholera, says a writer in
Ualiaces Farmer. for cholera is a
germ disease. 1t is a dangerous prac-
tice. however. to feed new corn free
". The difference in the price of new
md old corn makes the temptation
great t 0 feed the new.
An exclusive new corn diet is not fit
for brood sows or growing pigs. 1t is
deficient in muscleforming elements,
and should not he fed TO any extent
until the hog is fully matured and it
is necessary to begin the fatteniny ?
process. Then there is nothing to
equal corn. Many times what is called
,holera might be called the corn dis
ease. \ little corn in hard roasting
ears furnishes a good variety. but il
ied exclusively it is like throwing
money away.
Pasture is plenty now. and with it

and other grains until your hogs are
