EAGLES MERE.


Eagles Mere avenue. 1t did. 1t
took number of stout WOrkmen
and working orders from general
manager Townsend. Well, the track
is up and the whole street graded in
fine shape with a good quality of
red shale. OF course it is none of
the p. o. Clubs business, but they
feel so good over the matter that
they will celebrate some fine evening
in August with an old fashion corn
roast and taffy pull. Everyone
connected with the railroad and the
League is to be invited and "FOr-
give and Forget and Love me again
Willie" function will be given. If
the Borough officials widen the street
as they should, and the Land COM
pany fixes the walk as they should,
they too, will be asked to join in the
celebration. Oh, but it will be a
glorious uplifting time when these
big guns get to dancing around the
camp fire, and if it don't settle the
weather it will soon stun the gnats
that the members of the p. o. Club
can go in swimming in an easy un-
ceremonious attire.
1t is said to be very dangerous to
butt in and try to stop the car OF
progress. We have people right
here, however, who are willing to
take chances. That they have not
long since been killed, is probably
owing to the fact that cars don't
have very swift gate in these parts.
The girls are SO pretty, and the
bathing suits so natty, that the p.
O. Club finds that the most convent
ent place for getting the members
together for meeting, is in the tall
bushes back of the bathing grounds.
Post offices, barber shops and peanut
roasters no longer attracts the pro-
gressive inquiring member.
The p. o. Club is making arrange
ments for a grand reunion pic mic
sometime next month. 1t is not yet
decided whether they will buy an
automobile or rent boat for that
day.
That Fishing creek Democrats are
"easy" is proven by the way Mon
sieur Bogart is used. All know
how the p. 0. club treated him, and
that was mean enough, but during
the Bible Conference he was cOaxed
into breaking the Sabbath by shaw
ing Il chap on Sunday, that said chap
might make neat appearance at
the meeting. After he was shaved
the gentleman handed Bogart a
bright piece of lead looking much
like a genuine quarter, and hurried
off to the Bible class. On eXamin-
ing the piece it read, 'The wages is
Death" Bogart is mighty glad that
the man did not put him to death
then and there, but thinks he might
about as well have done it, for such
treatment is about to kill him sooner
or later anyhow.
The Bucks-W Road people are
putting forth strenuous efforts to
) make their road glitering success,
and have gone into the passenger
traffic business. The small sum OF
81 will be charged for carrying full.
grown trunk over the line, and each
trunk will be permitted to have one
full grown attendant carried free tC
keep said trunk from the baggage
smasher. Hand baggage and little
trunks will be charged at the same
rate but child and a nurse can bt
checked through on the same ticket
Persons travelling without baggage
however, will be expected to walk
the heavy grades, push the trair
around the sharp curves, carry water
for hot boxes and generally assis
the pass-accepting passengers in get
ting the train to its destination. Oh
damp mornings persons desiring t.
pick berries or to botanize along tn
, line, will please mention that fact t
/ the conductor when first entering
f the train, and man will be sent OF
ahead to wipe off and have the bush
