NOT TIE MEN WANTED.

The usual quiet and serenity OF
last Sunday morning was rudely
disturbed by the appearance in town
of two suspicious looking characters
who got off the Berwick car. They
were arrested by Chief of Police
Knorr, but not until they had given
him and his assistants a lively chase
from Main Street down thorough
the bog in the vicinity of the Har-
man-Cogger plant. Chief Knorr
had previously been informed of a
robbery which had been committed
at the residence of Harry June, in
Berwick early in the morning, and
was on the lookout for individuals
whose appearance was in any way
suspicious. He spied these fellows
get off the car. and he at once con-
cluded that they were the guilty
party. AS they were brought up
town, the curiosity of the people
was at fever heat, and a crowd that
completely filled the street gathered.
They were taken to Berwick, where
they proved an alibi and were dis
charged. If they were innocent it
is hard to understand why they
took to flight.

HEARTS AND fAJES."

The entertainment given by Mrs.
Edith c. Rick in the Opera House
last Thursday night was attended
by one of Bloomsburg's best audi
ences, and for this reason there
may have appeared to be la OK Of
appreciation because there was no
vociferous applause. Bloomsbury
audiences of the better class are not
noisy. They quietly enjoy what is
before them, and show some out
ward manifestation of approval, but
they are not given to enthusiastic
outbursts, and seldom, if ever, in
dulge in curtain calls, and for the
reason the reputation has gone
abroad that we are cold and un-
appreciative. This is a mistake
however, for the after-talk shows
that any performance of merit is
always fully appreciated and thor
oughly enjoyed. So it was with
Mrs. Rick's monologue, which is
both unique and novel. 1t is her
own production, and she presents
it in a most charming manner.
She appears in seven different
characters, namely, the child, the
school girl, the debutante, the bride,
the wife, the mother, the grand
mother, each OF which she acts to
perfection. 1t is hard to conceive
that the little girl Of twelve, and
the aged lady Of seventy-fve are
represented by the same person.
In the sixth scene, as the mother,
she has all sorts OF trouble with her
four children. AT the close of the
act a gentleman sitting just
behind us remarked, "She does
that right up to nature. have four
children at home myself"
The entertainment abounds with
humor that brings laughter to the
hearers, with keen thrusts at the
foibles of fashionable society, and
with pathos that moistens many an
eye. Mrs. Rick was a success,
and it was great pleasure to hear
her. The stage was handsomely
set, and much improved by the adj
ditional lights recently put in by
Manager Fowler. Mrs. Rick's
costumes are elegant and appropri-
ate, and these unite with her at
tractive face and form to make a
very pretty picture.
Mrs. Grant Herring had the en-
tire charge and responsibility of
this production, and the people of
Bloomsbury are indebted to her for
a delightful performance. She
managed the whole affair admir-
ably, and succeeded in clearing
nice sum of money which will be
handed over to the Lutheran church.

arrangements and the quick service
was due to the intelligent planning
and management of Miss Kelly,
who gave much time and thought
70 the work, and its successful cul
minatiou showed how we'll she did it.
She was ably assisted by Mrs. Law,
Mrs. Cook, Mrs 'ritel, Mrs. ALI
son, Mrs. Mover. Mrs. Gearinger,
Mrs. Werkheiser. Mrs. Lloyd Smith,
and Mrs Naylor, to all Of whom
Mr.. Magee extends his thanks for
their very valuable assistance, as
we'll as to all who in any way con.
tributed to the eminent success of
the occasion. Miss Geisinger of
Espy presided at the piano as ac-
companist and assisted in the pro-
gram in a very acceptable manner.
The piano was from the room, of
Chas. NJ. Stieff OH Iron street,
Mr.. Law as Master of Ceremonies
handled his forces like a general,
and was ably assisted by the various
committees consisting of the follow
ing persons:
Master of Ceremonies-W. M.
Law.
Floor and Order-H. Brennard,
J. Titel, J. Morris, J. Byram, Miss
L. E. Kelly.

McHcnry. A. H. Cook.
Electrician-N. E. Faux.
Such an entertainment as this is
an indication Of good fellowship
existing between employer and EN-.
ployees. 1t has its influence not
only on the Carpet Mill, but in
directly upon the entire community.
The evenings frolic was a novel
one, made very attractive in every
possible way by those having it in
charge, especially by the ladies who
always know just what to do and
how to do it. Mr.. Magee, the
host of the evening, the General
issimo and master-spirit of the en-
tire affair, can pat himself on the
back and accept his own congratu-
lations as we'll as those of all the
participants, on having conceived
and managed so colossal an enter.
tainment, to the entire satisfaction
and great pleasure of all his guests.

There were few cats in all animal

ness and vigor that aroused the ad-
miration of his friends and the envy OF
his enemies. 1t was his proud boast
that nobody within three blocks Of him
could sleep through one of his nightly
open air concerts.
If Mr.. Tom Cat had been given q
penny for every window that had been
opened. for every head that had been
stuck out. for every missile that had
been thrown at him while he was
singing, he would have been a very
wealthy cat indeed.
But, like a great many people, Mr.
Tom Cat was not satisfied. He was
not contented to let well enough alone
He wanted to become still more IA

STRANGE ANIMAL FRIENDsHIP.-Pa-
thetic instances are told Of strange
friendships between animals in cap
tiyity. A curious incident occurred In
New Orleans some years ago, when
bear was lowered into the cage of an
old African lion. The keepers sup
posed it would be torn to pieces, and
many people assembled to see the bar
barous exhibition. The bear at once
assumed the offensive and rushed at
the lion, but, to the amazement Of the
onlookers, the lion, hitherto regarded
as extremely savage and dangerous,
placed his paw upon the bears head as
If to express his pity and tried to make
friends with him.
Taking the bear under his protec-
ton, the lion suffered no one to ap-
proach the cage and did not sleep un-
til he was exhausted, so closely did he
watch over his new friend. He even
allowed him to share his food
The two animals would lie down side
by side, the lion usually with pro-
tective paw over the bear. His delight
in companionship was manifested un-
mistakably, and his captors were hu-
name enough to let the two share the
same cage-Kansas City Independent.

HE SAT DOWN AND BEGAN TO THINK.
this end he decided to consult some one
who could enlighten him. And it was
lust here that he made his mistake.
Instead Of going to a friend for ad-
vice he sought rival, cat that could
sing as we'll as he. This cat naturally
did not want Mr.. Tom to improve, and
so he was not liable to give any good
advice.
EAT a pound of sawdust," he said
to Tom, and Tom very foolishly went
off to carpenter shop and bought the
sawdust and ate it.
Then he sat down and began to
think, and the longer he sat the more
he thought. And while he thought he
suffered the worst pain that he had
ever been called upon to suffer In all
his life. The sawdust weighed on his
stomach like a ton Of lead. The tears
came into his eyes, and he could not
stop them. It was almost enough to
kill him, and it Is great wonder that
it did not kill him.
It was three whole days before he
could resume his nightly songs, and ne
found his voice had not improved one
whit. But there were two good lessons
he learned-6rst, to be contented with
what he had, and, second, never to try
to make q meal on sawdust.-Detro1t

verely hurt, but suffering considera-

she had to lie down while here. Mrs.
Waldson says that two little girls
were on the seat in front Of her.
When the terrible jolt came the
frightened little creatures doubled up
on the floor and crowded themselves
under a seat. They went down in this
attitude and escaped without scratch
of any kind. Rev. w. E. Hurt OF
