The Patient Brain.

The brain is one of the most patient
and industrious organs of the body. 1t
can be induced by good treatment to
perform prodigies of labor. Few real
ize Its capabilities and endurance. But
1t IL sensitive. 1t will not long brook
abuse. 1t briskly responds to the whip
at first, but IL the lash is laid on too
hard and often 1t balks. 1t insists upon
having plenty Of good, red blood when
it works hard, and good, red blood is
made from wheat and roast beef, not
from pie la mode, lobster salad and
cocaine or whisky. The most essential
thing for the man who works with his
brain is plenty Of sleep. Only in sleep
does the brain find the rest and re-
freshment that are necessary to main
tain its vigor and integrity Chicago

good, substantial Christmas present
for Danville folks.
George f. Clifford, of New York

be given to another firm, the Horse

Collins will be the superintendent of

who explained that the King Bridge
Company will make and ship the iron
for the bridge and the Horseheads
Company will erect il. The material
will arrive over the Pennsylvania rail
road. The erection of the false work,
| Mr.. Collins says, will begin on Nov
embor 1st. By the time it has pro-

set up the material will be here. Ask
ed how long it would take to erect the
supeIstructure, he replied that it was
entirely matter Of conjecture, as higf
water sometimes interferes with the
operations, which night also be other

der favorable circumstances the task
might be completed in two months.

Struggle With Mad Dog.

Misses Sue and Mary Danner OF
Easton, were rescued from the fierce
attack of mad bull dog on Sunday in
time probably to save their lives. They
are sisters of Civil Engineer John
Danner of the Danville and Blooms
burg trolley road, and daughters OF
State Senator Thomas Danner.
They were walking with Arthur
Smith. musician of that city, allow
ing their brothers pet bull dog to &c
with them. On their way home the
animal suddenly began to growl and
in an instant ferociously attacked Miss
Sue Danner. Smith grasped a clut
and struck the dog, which then sprane
for the throat of Miss Mary Danner.
Again Smith interposed and swinging
to one side as the wild brute advanced
the man caught the dog around the
neck The mans hands frightened like
a steel band but the tenacious brute
fought desperately, tearing the flesh
on the arms of the courageous music
ian, who called to the young ladies tc
fee. They stood transfxed for twenty
minutes while the terrible struggle be.
tween man and beast lasted. At the
end of that time the bull dog was
choked to death
Smith was nearly exhausted from
the terrible strain, and even on Mon,
day night the young ladies were great

In Her New PLAY.


one OF the coming attractions AT the
Opera House Is Mildred Holland in
her new play, " The Triumph of an
Empre " The play Is from the pen
of that versatile playwright, Theodore
kremer, who has given to the stage
many successes in the past few years
In writing the drama for Miss Hol-
land Mr.. Kremer has wisely stepped
from the paths Of histur.rlI accuracy.
and in presenting his Catherine has
shown only the good qualities Of her
nature. Her whims aud caprices were
touched upon, but her seItiShness and
the bad side of her nature was not in
the play. Mr.. KremeT 5 Catherine is
far from Icing the historical one. The
play is a good one, however, being a
well written and exciting drama, with
Russian setting, which by the way
was beautifully designed and painted
and everywhere showed the care and
practical knowledge OF Miss Holland,
who spent many weeks last summer in
Russia in search of ideas for stage set
tings.
