She Found 1t Easy.


Louisville Herald: IT'S no use talking,
said Isaac Barton of San Francisco, at
the Willard hotel; you just can't teach
women any business sense. Try as YOU
may, they won't catch on. They try to
keep books, but, oh, my, how they do
keep them!
About two months ago I brought home
one night well arranged little account
book. told my wife that on the pages
on the left hand side of the book she
should mark down the. amounts l gave
her as receipts and on the right hand
pages to make note of the amounts she
paid out as expenditures OF course. she
said she would be delighted to do this.
SO that could know just exactly how she
spent the money 1 gave her
for the first instalment l gave her $50.
About two weeks later 1 asked her if she
had kept her book properly, to which she
replied, oh, yes, Ill show YOU
And how she had Kept til On the left
hand pages was marked Received $50
and on the right hand page was marked
All spent.
That was all. That was how she hao

New York special: Twenty dare
aeVll schoolgirls nave been missing
IRON Rosemary hall, Rock Ridge,
Conn, since Thursday night last. That
is they are not missing officially, as
they are on their annual weeks cross
country walk, but their Whereabouts
are unknown TO the schoolma' ans left
behind
IT was near midnight on Thursday
When they started, and as usual their
departure was kept as much a secret
as possible, hut farmers, coming in
from various sections of the country
"ltEln radius of fifty miles, have re-
ported seeing them.
Equipped for Camping Out.
When they left Rosemary hall on
Thursday night each girl carried a
knapsack In it we're fork and knife
III piate, TN cup, and an extra pair OF
shoes Each young woman wore a felt
NAT, a sweater, Il short skirt and walk
ing boots.
On their annual marches they always

Whlie they set out to make 100 miles
IN three days, their record at the end
or the tramp usually shows about one
nan that distance covered Last year
lhey were seen tripping over hills near
Round Hill, Bedford, and New Canaan.
Ihey left on April 20 and returned at
midnight on May 2, with many amusing
incidents to talk about among them
selVes-but never to outsiders. In few
schools IN the country are assembled
so many athletic and level headed
young women as at Rosemary hall.
Most of them are daughters Of wealthy
parents and they come from all parts
of the country.
Girls Nearly All Athletes.
The seminary is located near Green
Wich, on high point which overlooks
a wide sweep OF rolling hills, with the
harbor and sound in the distance. There
rosemary girls play basketball, cricket
golf and tennis besides doing a great
amount of gymnasium work.
The school is self-governed, having the
constitution Of the United States as it's
model, with d committee elected each
year which has general supervision
over all the affairs of the school. Ex-
cept In the matter of health and occa-
s1onally some important moral ques-
ton, the principal has veto power,
but rarely exercises it, as the girls do
everything themselves. Last December
they concluded they ought to have a
church, and they must build it all them
selves. George Lauder, a neighbor Of
Andrew Carnegie, has large quarry
and offered to contribute the stone pro-
Vided the girls would move it.
The next day Lauder was surprised
when stone wagon was driven into
his quarry, accompanied by a dozen
rosy faced young women, who announce
ed they had come for their building
stone. They kept at it, and now they
have on the ground near Rock Ridge
stone enough for the chapel. They will

What Will Become of Sun and Moon?
G. w. Saleeby. in Harper's Magazine for
May: The alterations now occurring In
the distribution In the solar system have
led Professor George Darwin to predict
that the moon will ultimately return to
the earth which gave her sudden birth
80 many ages before: and 1t may further
be prophesied that the planets and their
satellites must ultimately yield to the
grayitational influence of our dying sun
and must return to the bosom Of their
parent. We must conceive of the solar
system of today then, as gathered into
one central mass, closely aggregated
around that point which, from the begin
ming, has constituted Its center Of gravity.
And what will be the stage of this shrunk-
en- object? 1t VIII be a dark star, a dead
sun. There are myrlads such In the heav-
ems Sir Robert Ball has said that to
count az the bright stars that we can see
and say these are all there are. would be
like counting the red hot horseshoes Mn
England and saying this is the total
number" This dark to-be will therefore
be Just such another as millions mere.
There will be no life upon It, We cannot
& conceive the terror Of its cold for the
ncbula has been dissipating energy. In
the form Of light and heat, into tho chilly
depths of intersidereal space ever since
the first hour Of Its longaevai shrInkage.
What Is the destiny of this dead sun,
AMONGST whose constituent atoms, remem-
Der. Will be those in the printers ink be-
s fore your eyes and those in the eyes
themselves? Are they forever---''stable in
association. as Stevenson has Ito be
borne EDWARDS through infinite space? No;
this shrlveled globe, the common tomb
OF sun and earth and Mars and of the
bodies Of the great that once breathed
thereon, may live again. Give 1t but3the
consuming embrace of such another voy-
7 ase and IN q moment new nebnla will
4 be born. The force of their impact will
suffice to eyaporate their substance into
another cloud which will repeat the his
tory of the old. The path of the two dead
suns Will determine the position of the
principal plane which will form the
4 ground plan Of the new system.

Base Ball.

The Cecil County League opened
its season on Saturday when some
exciting contests occurred, the re-
suits in some cases being little
surprising to the knowing ones in
base ball. Chesapeake City took
Elkton into camp, Perryville down
ed Baldwin, North East overwhelm-
ed Port Deposit, while Colora sent
a detected set of ball players back
to Rising Sun to explain how it all
happened that they are in the
''also ran" class after the first
contest.
The Colora- Rising Sun game at
West Nottingham proved exciting
and took ten innings to decide, the
Colora boys finally putting the
game to their, credit. Rising Sun
took the lead in the opening inning
but the contest was seeIE all the
way through, the Colora -6ys play
ing the steadier game. Reynolds,
who did the twirling for Manager
Snyder's Orioles, was very wild
giving nine passes to first base.
Brickley's batting was a feature Of
the game, he getting five hits out
of six times up-a home run, three
bagger, two bagger and two singles.
Reynolds stickwork was also good.
Reeder, in center field, did fine
work, capturing five flies. For
Colora, E. McCardell and Bechtel
led at the bat, while Tosh and
Richards did the best work. in the
field. The following is the score:

SOLD HIGH
Rev. J. D. DIETRICH Sells His Model
Dairy Farm.
SIS, 900 FOR FIFTEEN ACRE FARM

The DIETRICH dairy farm of fif-
teen acres, located near Flour
town, Pa, and owned and operated
by Rev. j. D. DIETRICH, has been
sold to G. s. Hates, of Gladwin, for
$15, 200.
Twenty years ago Mr.. DIETRICH
inherited these fifteen acres of worn
out land and began to study the
problem of redeeming it. The
land then was so poor that it could
not support one horse and two COWS,
Mr.. DIETRICH being compelled to
buy fodder for feed through the
first winter. The fifteen acres by
skilled cultivation were made to
furnish the entire support, summer
and winter, for two horses and
more than thirty cows. The farm
has acquired national reputation
for its well kept cows and for their
prolific and rich yield of milk.
So remarkable has been the sue
cess Of Mr.. Detrich's small farm
that the United States agricultural
department is planning to devote a
special bulletin to it, experts from
that department making frequent
calls there.
Mr.. DIETRICH has resigned his
pastorate in North Wales, and will
take charge Of farm of $40 acres
near Frazer station. His salary in
the new position is said to be
So, 500 year.

The Fishing Season.

The fishing season which has
been so backward on account of the
weather must of necessity be a
short one and it is only from the
fact that good prices are being
realized for the catches made that
the fishermen hope to save them
selves from heavy loss in the sea-
sons operations. Carpenters Point,
the largest shore fishery;on the bay,
cannot be operated, owing to a deep
channel which has been cut out
by the recent ice gorge. Barnes
Bros. who own and fish the shore,
have cut their seine and made
pound nets out of it.
The float owned by Jacob Os-
mond, Jr., is out of commission,
caused by the high water washing
it upon the shore at Havre de
Grace.
The float of Herman Spencer was
also left high and dry on the shore
near Havre de Grace by the ice
gorge and flood and is not being
operated. 1t is not believed the
pack will reach normal this season.

Valuable Horse Killed.

"Prince Kuser," the valuable
stallion belonging to J. B. Tyson,
of Woodlawn, was killed on
Saturday afternoon by falling
from a B. & o. railroad bridge,
near Aiken. Mr.. Tyson had
driven to Perryville that afternoon
and left his horse hitched along
the street while he went to the sta
tion to meet a train. A passing
automobile frightened the animal,
causing him to break the hitching
strap and run away. The animal
ran to Aiken where the B. & o. flag
man attempted to stop him, but
the horse turned up the railroad
and after reaching and attempting
to cross the bridge near the Sutton
farm got his foot caught and fell.
The animal remained on the bridge
for some time but before a wreck
ing crew could be summoned to lift
him from the tracks, fell from the
structure, the height being so
great as to cause his death when
he struck the stones below.
The horse was a valuable and
speedy animal, and well-known in
this section.

Burglars Put To Flight.

DR.. R. M. Black, of Cecilton,
was awakened one night last week
by noise in one of the lower
rooms of his dwelling. He imme-
diately investigated and discovered
three men. The men set off some
flash light powder, binding the
Doctor for the time being and en-
abling them to escape. DR.. Black
fired his revolver in the direction
of the men, however, and a blood
stained handkerchief was later
found upon the premises, leading to
the belief that one of the intruders
had been wounded by the shot.

He Likes Eggs.

Garfield Brinton, who is employ
ed by W. K. Bird, residing near
Rising Sun, has a slight fondness
for eggs which he was given an
opportunity to satisfy on Easter
Sunday. AS a starter, he ate
fourteen, then half a dozen more.
after which he switched off to pie
and cake, but the longing for his
first love still was with him and
he "benevolently assimilated"
eighteen, fried, before he was
eggsactly satisfied.
A total of 3S eggs in one day is
calculated to bull the Rising Sun
egg market if this record is kept
up for a few weeks.

Summer School at Tome.

For the benefit of students who
propose to enter college in the fall,
special courses of instruction will
be offered at the Jacob Tome Insti-
tute during part of July and
August. The work was primarily
for students of the Jacob Tome
Institute, who, on account of un-
avoidable absence, are deficient in
any of the college requirements.
Other students, however, will be
admitted, and will enjoy the same
privileges as the students of the
institute.

Safe Crackers at North East.

Cracksmen visited the postoffice
at North East on Thursday night
of last week, and blew the safe
open but got but little money for
their trouble. Entrance was effect
ed by cutting a panel out of the
door and unlocking it. The safe
was drilled and badly wrecked by
the force of the explosion. The
money drawer contained only eight
or nine dollars in pennies, which is
all that was secured by the burg
lars. No stamps or postal cards
ere taken. A brace and two bits
were left behind by the robbers.
