Why Don't Men Marry2

This was the subject of an extend
ed conversation overheard by the
writer while in local store the other
day. There were many reasons ad-
vanced. Here they are:
A great many men don't marry be-
cause they can't get the one they
want; bachelors have high notions.
Second, because many of them are
towards; they dare not face the
music, they dodge the question.
Third, because they have no faith in
women; they think marriage lottery.
Fourth, they are selfish; they cannot
yield for another's good; can't support
a family. Fifth, woman's extrava-
gance, probably the most general
cause of mans hesitancy; expensive
living and extravagant dress. 1t costs
as much TO launch a woman on the
sea of welded life as it would to fit
out schooner. The appearance of
some Christmas shoppers broke up
the conference before the other fellow
had been given an opportunity to ex-
press himself.

noon. Mr.. Fedder was crossing the
tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad, and was struck
and run over by the up passenger
train due IN Bloomsburg at a.34. The
engineer whistled for the crossing,
but as Mr.. Fedder's hearing is inn
paired its sounds never reached him,
and not until the iron monster was
upon him did he realize the danger,
then it was too late. and over him
vent the ponderous wheels, severing
both legs, and inflictlng other bodily
injuries. His condition is critical In
the extreme.
We have been unable to learn his
exact age, but he is well advanced in
years. The whole populace of the
little town is effected, and on every
hand can be heard expressions of
sorrow.

At the conclusion of tine Christmas
entertainment in what is known as
the Vandersllce church, situated
about one mile and half from town
Saturday evening, an accident occur
red which almost resulted in the loss
of a human life. The attendance
was very large and while the host of
souls was passing from the gray light
of the building out into the night,
Miss Letha Wolf, aged nine years,
who had taken part in the exercises,
in some manner or other came in
contact with lighted candle. In an
instant almost she was enveloped in
a sheet of seeth:ng flames. The
people at once realized that prompt
action was necessary and men rushed
to the assistance of the unfortunate
girl. The flames were smothered by
means of shawls but not until her face
neck and arms had been severely
burned. She was hastily removed to
the home of her parents Mr.. and Mrs.
William Wolf and Dr. Bierman sum-
moned. He dressed the injuries and
made the patients condition as COM

from death Thursday night, caused by
coal gas. Mrs. John awoke early
Friday morning with a severe head
ache, but knowing that she was sub
ject to the discomfort and thinking
that it would soon pass over, she
went back to bed. She was awaken
ed again this time by the groans of
her husband. He had just been
vacclnated and she attributed his ap
parent agony to that cause. AT half
past seven he made an effort to get
up. He finally reached the first fooi
where he became unconscious. 1t
was then that the presence of coal
gas was discovered. Mrs. Johns call
for help was responded to by the
neighbors, who sent for Doctor John

Death Claims Mrs A. ]. Beagle.

Mrs. Andrew J. Beagle died at the
family residence on the Light Street
road, on Thursday. Her illness was
quite protracted and in many differ
ent forms. Death, however is attri-
buted to pneumonia.
Mrs. Beagle was possessed OF a
good christian spirit, and her life was
worthy of emluation.
The family which consists of a
husband, son and two daughters,
moved to this town several years ago
from Hemlock township. Shortly
afterward, Mrs. Beagle joined the
Lutheran Church, which alliance has
always been held most sacred by her.
She was sixty-three years OF age.
Short services were held over the
remains at the residence Sunday
morning, after which they were taken
to the Cemetery at Heller's Church
for interment.

the boys are compelled to practice is
responsible in large measure for the
poor showing of late. They pass the
ball successfully enough In the small
inclosure at the old Presbyterian
church, but when they get in a larger

and as a result they are lost. But
there are also other little defects
which can be overcome only by con-
slant practice. We hope to sing a
different tune next time.
