THE LITTLE=ROGERS
WEDDING

Muncy, yesterday, was the scene Of a
brilliant wedding in which the bride
and groom We're both well know in Dan
Vile and the maid Of honor was one of
our best known and most popular young
ladies.
The principals were Harry Joseph
Little, son Of Judge r. R. Little of
Bloomsbury, and Miss Mabel Rebecca
Rogers, only daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Rogers, Of Muncy. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. w. L.
Woods III the Baptist church at high
noon The bride wore white crepe
dresden over silk. The maid of honor,
Miss Lon Welliver of this city, was at
tired in a pretty dress Of white. The
bridesmaids, Misses Julia Beeber and
Julia Everitt, of Williamsport, Miss
Margaret Slime of Lewisburg, and
Lena Bailey, of Wellsboro, were attired
in dresses Of white organdy over green
and wore wh & h9's Cla-oncJ E.-ars.
brother of the bride, acted as best man.
Miss Margaret Rogers, of Muncy and
Miss CAthtrine Little, a sister Of the
groom, were flower girla.
The ceremony was followed by re
ception at the home of the bride

Inspection of Twelfth Regiment.

The annual spring inspection of the
Twelfth regiment will begin the first
week III March. The first company to
be inspected will be Company c, Milton
which will be put through the necessary
examination on March 4th. The other
companies will follow in this order
Company f, Danville, March eth; Com
pany L, Sunbury, March S; Company B,
Williamsport, March 10; Company X,
Sunbury, March 12; Company |. Will
iamsport March "A; Company A, Lewis
burg, March -; Company D, William
sport March II Company G., William
sport, March Is; Company H, Lock Ha-
ven, March 19.
Now that the dates for the inspections
Of the Twelfth have been announced
greater activity is to be expected at the
armories. The program does not cover
the more complicated features of last
year, but the instructions given the in
specting officers are that they must be
correspondingly more rigid Although
no official utterances have been made
upon the subject the impression has
gone forth that the recent order giving
the twelve company regiments the ad-
ditional Major is the first step toward
completing the reorganization of the di-
vision. 1t is said that Governor Stone
will complete the reorganization before
he goes ont of office If it is done as the
result of this inspection, and it seems to
be understood that this is the case, the
Third brigade will lose five companies of
infantry and one regimental organiza-
tion. This will reduce it to four regi-
ments of twelve companies each
1t would be an unfortunate thing if
the Twelfth regiment should lose any of
her companies, but if she does the COM
pany disbanded will have but itself to
blame Good, hard, consideration work
during the few weeks still remaining,
will put all of the companies in such
condition that none need fear But this
work cannot be done by a few, all must
help. The proficiency of those who do
the hard work serves to make the in
efficiency of the others stand out strong

Habit From the Dungeon.

Convicts who were forced to drag
about a bah and chain at the galleys
could often be detected, when released
by their habit Of trailing one foot after
the other John Boyle O'Reilly, con
demned to convict life in Australia for
his Fenian sympathies, had also in
after years a habit which told a like
sad story. One who knows him said:
When walking abstractedly and me-
chanically, he always went a short dis
tanCe and then retraced his steps, no
matter how wide stretch he had be-
fore him. 1t was always three PAGES
forward, turn and three PAGES back,
exactly Ike the restless turning of
lion in cage.
One day l asked him, Boyle, what
was the length Of your cell when you
were in prison-how many PAGES"
Three" he said. "Why do you askF"
Because when you are absentmind-
ed you always walk three PAGES for
ward and then retrace your steps"

When Professor Max Muller as a

Leipsic, as he relates In his autobl-

Professor Muller says: Before begin
ming his lesson he used to rub his
spectaCles and after looking round the
half empty classroom mutter In
plaintive voice. i see again many boys
who are not here today. When the
same old master began to lecture on
physical science, he told the boys to
bring n frog to be placed under glass
from which the air had been extracted
by an air pump. or course every one
of the twenty boys brought two or
three frogs. and when the experiment
was to be made all these frogs were
hopping about the lecture room, and
the whole army Of boys were hopping
after them over chairs and tables to
catch them No wonder that during
this tumult the master did not succeed
with his experiment. and when at last
the glass bowl was lifted up and We
were asked 10 see the frog great was

MAKING A GOOD ROAD.
without Competent Men There Is No
Chance of Success.


A good road can be made by putting
in a layer of large or medium sized
stone, then on that q layer of crushed
stone and on that 4 covering OF gravel
and rolling the surface down hard and
smooth. But that is not all that Is
A part Of the skill IS like the old gen.
tleman's rule for making good coffee,
when you make 1t, put in some"
We have been watching the work on
a bit Of road this season. There are
about three inches in depth of the
round cobblestones one inch of crush
ed stone and one inch of gravel and
loan mixed. which, by wetting and
rolling, has been so pressed down into
the stones that it Is now less than half
inch. If It were whitewashed after 1t
was rolled, it could not look much bet
ter, but it might be more durable. We
think before one winter passes the
larger stones will be at the surface and
the covering Will have washed away or
settled down below them.
In close proximity to a strip built by
the state as an example Of how to
build a good road, IT is likely to furnish
an equally good example of how not
to make n good road. 1t Is one of those
cases too common, where the town
thought to give employment to its own
citizens instead of hiring the work
done by contract, when it would have
been better to have pmDlOVed a com
petent man with ablebodied help and
supported its Crlpples from the towns
poor fund than to have paid them S1.75
for eight hours loafng or trying to do
that which some Of them were unable
TO 90 by reason of old age and others
were utterly incompetent to do well,
while few or them cared for or took
any interest in any part Of the work
excepting drawing their pay.
