The Doctor was Satisfied.

Senator Burton of Kansas, while in
Hawaii with the Congressional Com
mission, was sitting one morning in
the dining room of Honolulu hotel.
A Japanese in occidental dress of ex-
treme fashion, who was sitting close by,
heard Mr. Burton ad lressed as Senator.
He rose, walked over to the Kansan
and presented his card.
"If your charming excellency should
become contaminated with the climatic
anhelation," he said, she will find pal
liative febrifuges at the above indicated
location"
The Senator was astonished, but
long years in politics have developed a
singular readiness, and he answered in
kind:
"Your Samaritan commiseration
overcomes me, sir. Should | stand in
need Of proficient medication, I will
call at your JUSTLY famed establish
ment. If have appeared stultined in
my paraphrases of gratitude, it is due,
believe me, rather to paucity of vo-
cabulary than to an insufficient appre.
citation of your beuefcence.n

He is The Same Man Still.

The following story, we believe, has
never before appeared in print. In
the early eighties the present rector OF
an uptown parish in New York was
spending his holiday in the Alps. AS
he entered the inn parlor at Iermatt
one evening he found it already oc-
cupied by young couple whom he
supposed to be English. He buried
himself in newspaper, but soor his
attention was attracted by some forci-
BILE remarks from the young man. He
caught the indignant words, ''impu-
dent Englishmen." Presently the
clergyman said, "Pardon me, but are you
not English?" "No," was the reply,
''we are Americans" $50 am l." he
said. Having established cordial re-
lations with his compatriots, he made
bold to ask the young man why he had
used the words, ''impudent English.
man."
"When came to Switzerland a few
weeks ago with my bride l CHANGED to
meet an Englishman who spoke con-
temptuously of the mountain climbing
ability Of Americans. He said that the
Americans are equalto the ascent ofthe
easy slopes oftheir own mountains, but
that when it comes to real mountain
climbing they cannot do it. What
mountain in the Alps do you consider
would furnish a fair test" i demanded.
He answered that the Jungfrau would
do very well. AT some inconvenience
to my plans, | made the ascent of the
Jungfrau, and when met the English
man again, / told him what | had
done. That is nothing he said: any
ordinary climber can get to the top of
the Jungfrau, but no American can
climb the Matterhorn." Well, | am
here for the purpose of ascending the
Matterhorn. | have delayed my de-
parture from Switzerland for that very
purpose. have hired my guider and
have made every preparation to begin
the ascent in the morning.
After his return to America, the
clergyman received a note from the
young man stating that he had been
successful in his attempt. 1t was sign
ed Theodore Roosevelt.

From Bin to TippIe.

They are building stairway from
the foot of the mountain to the tipple
at the Shutes. However, much of the
steep path must still be climed over
boulders and through the dense brush,
the stairway having not yet been COM
pleted for more than twenty yards.
Perhaps it was this deplorable lack of
stairs on the mountain side that i'm
PEELED our adventurous young co-tem-
porary, Ned Brady, to cody swing
himself into bucket at the bin, last
Monday, and ride dauntlessly, waving
his hat all the way up to the tipple
house.
cit was bully" said the young man
on reaching the top, "better than any
of Wanamaker's moving stairway. I'd
like to make the trip down, and II it
wasn't for the coal getting a fellow all
dirt I think I'd climb right in and
slide"
When Ned came down off the noun
tain, after his daring ride, Mr.. Troop,
who was standing near by, brought up
the horse the young man had ridden
down to the Shutes, and said, "why
didn't you take the nag up with you?"
Ned, undaunted, replied: "Well, /
would if she hadn't seemed so darned
backward about going forward"
With that the rough rider, Jr., swung
himself into the saddle and was off in a
mad race to beat the wind to Empo-
rum, and from the streak of dust that
was kicked up we are rather inclined
to think he did it, too. #.*

Careless TeamSter.

A team belonging to one of our pro-
minent manufacturing companies was
driven through town the other day,
one wheel sliding most of the time ow-
ing to the teamsterneglecting to loosen
the brake. A wagon weighing 2,OOOLbs.
would no doubt run with less strain on
the horses if the wheels were free to
turn, but our wagon makers could per-
haps pass judgment upon the matter
with greater degree of accuracy than
we. 1t may be a tip to them worthy
of investigation, as, perchance this
teamster who is in the habit of doing
this, may have discovered a benefi-
ciary reason for sliding the wheels. 1t
may be that the poor horses needed a
Turkish bath.

An editor died and slowly wended

John E. Smith Injured.

Mr.. John E. Smith, of Sterling Run,
met with painful accident Wednes-
day morning. While pressing a cork
into a bottle of carbolic acid, the liquid
exploded, severely burning his hands
and face. Fortunately the eyes are
not seriously involved, and we con-
gratulate our neighbor on his almost
marvellous escape. DR.. DeLong treated
the burns, and though in extreme dis
comfort, Mr.. Smith is able to give at
tention to business affairs.

A Pleasant Party.

The Misses Leet gave very pleasant
party to twenty-five of their young
friends, Tuesday evening, in honor of
their guest, Miss Bertha Taylor, of Cres-
cent, NY. Mr.. .Lawrenceand Miss Mary
Groves, Of Coudersport, were in atten-
dance. The young people thoroughly
enjoyed themselves, as the ever unique
hospitality of the young hostesses was
in evidence during the entire evening.
Their handsome and spacious residence
on Third street affords ample means
for entertaining a large company, and
these excellent young society leaders
know just how to welcome and enter
tain their guests.

Severe Injury,

VIM. Pye, teamster for the Keystone
Powder company, met with a painful
and serious accident Monday morning
while hauling a heavy load up to the
works. AS is usual he got off the
wagon to walk, and taking the side
next to the hill, he found poor footing
as when the team started, a stone slip
ped from under Williams foot letting
him slide under the wagon, the wheel
passing over both feet, breaking one
and badly smashing the other. AS a
consequence he is up for repairs.

EridaX'S Ball Game.

thO Bdhio VI bdSo Ddil pldy6u uSFo
last Friday afternoon, between Austin
and Emporium, was an exciting one
being a rather old-fashioned game in
some respects-a large number of er-
rors and several runs too many for
modern playing, but when the boys got
down to business it was ball to the fin
ish. Emporium had the best of it at
the start, and up to the seventh inning
the game stood to 2 for our boys,
when slight error led to considerable
confusion and the Austin boys run in
five scores, giving them one the best of
it, which was tied by Emporium, and
then it was good game to the end.
Not score was made until the thir-
teenth inning when the visitors, through
another error by our boys, got two men
over the plate, and in turn shut out the
Emporium boys when they came to bat,
making the score 9 to in favor of
Austin. The game was, on the whole,
very quiet one, and both teams
showed their manliness and dignity by
the fact that no wrangling or disputes
occurred. The umpire did his duty as
well as we have ever seen it, his de-
cisions being firm and just. No doubt
he made mistakes, if we were to be ex-
acting, but they were not i'm mpartial for
they occurred on both sides, nor were
they of a serious nature.
The "rooters" on both sides filled
the air with lugubrious yells occasion
ally, due mostly to a good play or
point won by one or the other sides.
The Austin boys are gentlemen and
were treated as such by our boys who,
being gentlemen, always do honor to
their guests, therefore the too frequent
wall of dissatisfaction on such occasions
will justly be omitted.
The game was played on the Key
stone Park grounds which were just
recently put in order for the purpose
and finer ball ground does not exist
in these neck % woods.
Several hundred of our ball-loving
people assembled to witness the game
which lasted from $50 to 500 p. m.
For the first attempt this season our
hoys did remarkably we'll, one of their
number never having played in a game
before.
Gene Mumford says he is getting too
many gray hairs in his head to hold the
position of catcher much longer. He
is mighty active behind the bat, for an
"old" man, Notwithstanding, and we
are of the opinion that he will be able
to hold 'em for several years yet.
James Farrell is still as active on first
base as a cat in a nest of rats, but he
made one Of 'em pesky mistakes which
we never saw him make before.
Jesse McFadden, the terror at the
bat, was just little shy of his old-time
record. A little practice will bring the
team up to standard.
Mr.. Stetcher pitched fine game and
proved his ability as ball tosser to be
far above the average, while our short
stop, Mr. Miller, don't let anything
pass him that is "stopable."
Ganey, Logan, Collins, and Cum
mingg all did good work, and with the
needed practice our boys will be hard
to beat

As to LYnchinp.

We noticed in the PRESS a most
timely article regarding the lawles5ness
of lynching and how we should pre-.
pare to meet any such occurrence
should it come upon us to bear the test
One Of the ways, we shall suggest, by
which we may fortify against any such
outbreak of "human nature" as it is
socalled, is to study first to know the
actual or infinite meaning Of crime in
its minutest form, then to '.l1now thy
self" Another way is to impress our
selves with the fact that not only is it
criminal regarding the law of man but
the law of God as well, and that only a
base coward could commit such deeds
as are continually reported in the press
of the day. They are towards who
commit the lawless act, and towards
who shield the guilty by Withholding
testimony which would otherwise con-
vict them. 1t is truly anarchy-the
outburst of lurking ferocity-a mind
educated by its own harboring of evil
imagination, and shows plainly to have
been bred from wicked ancestry.
Study the character of William Wal
lace as given in "The Scottish Chief"
and instill in our own nature a portion
of his patience and fcrbearance under
similar, but seemingly more aveang-
able, circumstances. One who makes
any profession of Christianity and al
lows his mind to dwell upon doing
such deeds is hypocrite, else he has a
vain idea of what he processes to be-
lieve. He is, as the Bible teaches, ga
liar and the truth is not in him" 'He
thinks he has eternal life but his ways
lead to destruction"
The only true character is he who
loves the law because, by its enforce
ment, the public is protected, the
| criminal minded are punished, ciyiliz-
alton is advanced, and it promotes
harmony and peace. But he who
| abides by the law because he is afraid
OF the consequences of lawbreaking,
because of the disgrace which prison
or the hangman's moose places upon
him or his friends, is only a coward,
and is as evil at heart as though he had
committed the deed Two wrongs will
not make eight, and no matter what
public sentiment may be, or how many
people engage in a lynching, or for
what cause it is done, it is murder, and
the perpetrators are, individually, as
guilty as the one whom they have SO
disposed of, no matter what his crime
may have been. For the sake of the
good name our country bears, if for no
, other except our souls sake, any and
every American citizen ought to be
willing to suffer the grief sustained by
the act Of even yillainous murderer
rather than stain our nation with the
I blood Of mere veangance. The long
arms of the law Will take care o. 1le
victim in her grasp, and when our
foreign neighbors repeat tho uorS8 of
our Savior: Gle who is without sin
cast the first stone" we may load our
sling as did David when he wazt out
10 meet the great Philistion giant.
