FOR The LITTLE ONES.
What Lncle Sam Does With the Boys
Who Enter His Navy.

Who Enter his Navy
The first question that Uncle Sam
asks Of boy who applies to enter
the navy is, "Do you yourself want
to enlist?" because Uncle Sam does
not want boys who themselves do
not want to serve him on shipboard.
Nor does he take boys for the navy
to reform them. There was time
when the navy made good hcme
for incorrigible boys, but it is not
so now. This is not the kind OF a
boy the navy wants and needs. Boys
between the ages Of fifteen and sew
enteen years can enlist for the nav!
until they become Of age. When
the apprentice is first received Oh
board ship he is furnished, free OF
cost, with an outfit of clothing not
exceeding in value the sum of $40,
His first pay is So a month. After
making his first cruise, if qualified
he is advanced to SIS month. His
next advancement is to that OF Hrs;
class apprentice, with pay of $2l I;
month.
Ex-apprentices are given prefer
ence in the selection of petty off,
GERS with pay ranging from $50 to
$40 per month and rations. Thosf
having a good record and showing
marked ability are eligible to ap-
pointInent as warrant officers, pc,
sition varying in pay from $1,000 tc
ST, 800 per annum, with retirement
at the age of sixty-two years Oh
three-quarters pay for life. Warrant
officers not over thirty-fve years Of
age are eligible to appointment tc
the rank of commissioned Officers
after having served six years as war,
rant officers. Commissioned officers
are in line of appointment to all the
higher grades Of the navy service
and thus it is that some apprentice
boy now may be our first admira
some day. 1t is perfectly possible
for boy to start at the very bottom
in the navy and rise to the topmost
notch by his own efforts and abili
ties.-American Boy.

Upeartbed Indian Bones.

Workmen, while excavating a cellar
on Pennsylvania avenue, Sunbury,
Saturday afternoon unearthed the por-
tions of two skeletons, lot of Indian
money, pottery and other articles which
is satisfactory proof that the bones are
those of Indians who journeyed to the
happy hunting grounds years ago.
The discovery was made on the prop
erty recently purchased by A. W.
Rimert. The collections consist of the
portion of two skulls, socket bones,
small bones of the leg, broken pottery,
one whole piece of pottery six inches
in height and five inches in diane
ter, one hundred and twenty pieces of
wampum or Indian money, two coils,
parts of Indian mOCCaslns, which still
have the animal hair on them, and
other small and less interesting trin-
kets that were consigned to the graves
with the braves or chiefs.
The big amount of money and the
quality of the other articles found is
an indication that the Indians stoo d
high among their people, for so much
stuff is seldom buried with the lower
meH of the tribes
Several years ago the portion of an
other Indian skeleton was unearthed
near the same place, and as the ex-
cavation progresses no doubt other in
teresting relics of the first residents of
the country will be found

Confirmation at B'ne Zion.

was the most interesting and impress

connection with the ceremony the
young rabbi made an address, whic h
created wonderful impression not

tion but also on the large number of
others who were attracted TO the syna-

his remarks, his sympathetic manner.

Plenty Of Ice at Lovers Lean.

Many persons find it difficult to be-
lieve that there is an abundance of ice
still remaining at Lovers Leap, never
theless a stroll down the river viii
convince them that such is the case
Notwithstanding the hot weather of
last week and previously, which sent
mercury up above a hundred degrees
Ill the sun, large portion of the big
ice mound may still be seen. A con-
servative estimate places the ice re-
naming on the spot at one hundred
tons.
1t is rapidly melting, however, and
i'll week or ten days it will probably
be all gone. Those who predicted on
the first of April that ice would still
remain on the spot at the first of June
were considered extravagant. As is
shown, however. by the sequel their
judgment is redeemed, while there is
considerable margin to spare. The
like can not be recalled by even our
Oldest resident and the circumstance
of ice remaining in June is a unique
fact which will be remembered in con-
nection with the longest and coldest
winter ever experienced i'll this lati-
tude.

AN ENGINEERS
BAD ACCIDENT

Lloyd Cooper, engineer of an extra
freight on the S. II. & w. branch, met
with serious accident yesterday morn
ing, which will incapacltate him for
work for a long time. The train.
which passes South Danville early in
the morning, had reached point near
Nanticoke when the engineer under
took to assist the fireman in putting
up the CRATE bars. While engaged in
this work the wrench slipped strikin <
hard blow upon the right knee of
the engineer, fracturing the patella or
knee cap.
The full extent of the injury was
not realized until the engineer had
orawled back into the cab when he
found that he could not use his limb.
The fracture was serious one, the
broken bone separating into two parts.
1t was decided to take the engineer
to Sunbury at once; for this purpose
the engine and caboose were detached
and in the latter bed was improvIsed
upon which the injured man was made
rs comfortable as possible
At South Danville the party was OBJ
liged to lie on the siding until the 7 Ill
passenger train passed Arriving at
Sunbury the engineer was taken to his
home. where he received surgical treat
ment.

Mathew S. Quay is no More.

were grouped about the bed on which
the weak, ,eInaciated form was slowly

1t was O'Clock Friday afternoon
when Senator Qusy's mind ceased ac-

which he never awakened. Each night
for the past week the physicians had
been using oxygen to keep the patient
alive.
At O'Clock Saturday morning DR..
Wilson was summoned hurriedly. He
ran into the house, learned that his
patients fever had risen perceptibly,
and advised the family that within
eight hours Senator Quay would be no
more. Bravely the waiting band of
relatives took turns at the bedside to
watch for the end. Each hoped that
the Senator would again regain con-
seriousness, so he could speak to them
once again. Before O'Clock it became
apparent that it was only a question
of all hour, and the end would come.

bedside doing everything that medical
