Up In Sullivan County

A drive over the hills from Lacka-
waxen to Port Jervis through the
part of Sullivan county adjacent to
the Delaware river is a revelation
to one who has never before visited
that section There are large wood
ed areas, but the occasional farms
are we'll cultivated, the roads fine,
buildings in good order and back of
Barry Vile the Proctor estate covers
large territory. A large mansion
is located on an elevation near q
small lake, around which runs an
elegant drive, and the grounds are
we'll kept At Glen Spey, where
Alexander Mackenzie, of Singer
Sewing MIohine fame, located q
summer residence upwards of thirty
years ago, the wilderness has been
made to blossom like a rose. Since
his death his sons and sons in law
have built separate houses for
summer homes. They are located
on a ridge running toward the river
and for two miles there is an
unbroken park, finely laid out and
orDamented with flowers and trees.
The houses, and barns as we'll. are
large handsome structures. From
this ridge a view isobtained over a
large part of Pike county which
appears like a vast, nearly level,
wooded plateau, in the background
of which looms up the High Knob.
A few fields or open spots may bt
seen, but the general outlook is thai
of wilderness of trees. 1t is a
magnificent view and those who
have never visited Glen Spey would
be delighted with a drive over the
Hawks Nest road to that beautiful
spot made SO both by nature and the
handiwork of man.

THE LADIES

Oh women dear, put on your hats,
For good Saint Paul has said,
That tis a shame that women should
Come 10 church with bare head.
Perhaps you'll say he's out OF date,
That hats are not the fashion.
But a nice cover on your pate,
Will show so much more cash on.
The Bible is an old, old book,
It's rules are most forgot.
'Tis too much trouble there to look
For things we would know not.
Bare heads and necks and arms
1t truly is AIMING,
How hard you try TO show you charms
And keep the poor men gazing
II is an interesting show,
That much I'll not deny.
So easy, as clothes thinner grow,
To review anatomy.
Long years ago, In school we learned
The number Of our bones.
But all the wisdow then we earned,
Awoke no answering tones.
But now, behold, the ladies dear,
On our Improvement bent,
Have made them AL SO very clear,
Their aid 50 kindly lent.
Wen ne'er forget them any more,
No, no, indeed we'll not, [store
They're treasured now in memory's
Each in its sacred spot.
We sigh because the falling leaves,
And winters chilly blast
Approaches, and each student grisyes,
That lessons soon be past.
A tear stands in each anxious eye
Oh ladies what's the next
Great lesson, as the days 90 byi
Oh give us soon the text.
Oh ladies fair we drink your health,
And haste TO join your Glasses,
So full Of Illustrations wealth,
Your teaching naught surpasses.

The Blooming Grove Park Assooi-
alton has recently received from the
firm Of J. A. Roeblings Sons seven
miles OF wire fence, seventeen
strands, or about ten fest high,
with which TO enclose an extension
TO the breeding park. Deer have
Increased TO such an extent in the
present enclosure that they do not
thrive. A drive through the grounds
diseloses that in the present park
The heritage is eaten off and the
pnderbrush wholly cleared out.
One can look for a considerable dis
tance through the trees which are
mostly thrifty saplings and see the
effects Of the trimming up by the
large herd Of deer. The extension
will afford a much greater range
and give the animals better pastur-
age. Over a thousand English
pheasants will soon be released when
the members will enjoy shooting.
They are now contained in pens ana
are in the moulting stage. These
are beauti full birds and while not so
wild and difficult to bring down as
the native birds yet afford fine
sport. The Association has been
unusually successful this year in
the number of guests at the Club
House and many are yet lingering
TO enjoy the fine braoing weather
In the reading room a monster
brown trout is shown, finely mount
ed, which when skimming through
the waters Of Lake Giles must have
been a holy terror to all other den
liens of that beautiful sheet of
water. The fish weighed 111%
pounds and was taken with an 8
ounce fly rod. The fishing in Lake
Gils has not been very good this
year and there is a project under
consideration by the association to
clear it of all fish and restock with
fewer varieties.

An Appropriate sign

Off shore from a famous seaside
resort is q sunken wreck. A ship,
driven upon the shore in a storm,
went down. The hull is entirely
under water-the masts showing
above it. Not long since the writer
stood on the shore and saw this
wreck slowly clear from the fog.
First the tops of the masts were
seen, then by degrees they seemed
to rise out of the water as the fog
settled, until we could see a large
black sign which some advertiser
had posted there. Suddenly the sun
broke out and made clear the letters
on the sign:

Mrs. Cahili lately received a letter
from Miss Helen R. Biddis, written
when two days out on her home
ward journey from Europe, in which
she states that DR.. Parkhurst was
one Of the passengers on board and
that It was generally supposed on
the ship that the party she accom-
panied was a band Of Oh ristian En-
.deavorers in charge Of the Reverend
refofmer. If all the party possessed
animation akin to that of Miss
Helen it would seem that the pres
ence Of DR.. Parkhurst must have
had a very Christening influence to
give color for a moment to such an
-extravagant supposition.

A warning to oonstables


DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of
the state game commission, is send
ing out q circular letter with
which is enclosed a copy of the act
of 1899 which makes the several
constables of the state, ex-oficio,
game, fish and fire wardens, de-
scribes their duties and prescribes
penalties for violation thereof. The
Commission desires the help of con-
stables, and wishes them TO perform
their duty as required by section 5
of the act. It also intimates that If
notified of a failure the Commission
viii endeavor TO compel obedience.
Only this month a constable in
Luzerne county was convicted for
violation of the act, the penalty for
which is fine OF fifty dollars, or
two months imprisonment in the
county Jail, or both, at the disore-
tion Of the court. If constables with
knowledge of violations, and there
are no doubt some who have, prefer
to take the risk of punishment
rather than return to court the
names of those who ara guilty they
may do so, but they should not CON-
plain if caught. If a constable is
afraid or unwilling to do his duty
he would better resign.
