A SAD CASE.

I have the sweetest dolly,
Her name is Belle Marie;
She came here or my birthday
From Paris DER the sea.
But shes no comfort to me,
They keep her locked away,
For she's so very lovely
She'd soon be spoiled at play.
And so on my next birthday
A rag doll L will choose;
Because it's hard to nave child
Who is too nice to use

Our tendencies to selfish discomfort are CON
stantly warning against our love of usefulness and
service, and he who wishes to enjoy the full activity
of freedom must learn to fight and to destroy the
tendencies within himself which stand III the way
of his own obedience to law But he needs, for
this the truthful and open spirit which leads to
wise self-knowledge; quiet and willing spirit
to make the necessary sacrifice of selfish pride.

NOT AN UNKNOWN TONGUE.

Both the girls who figured in the dialogue which
follows were chewing gum, but unfortunately this
kind of conversation, which is too common, is not
confined to gum-chewing girls, nor is the habit of
gum-chewing responsible for it:

"Wherew

Many life is filled with peace because some
other life is praying. The unrecorded intercession
of friends gives luster to many eyes that would
otherwise be dim and cheer to lips trait would
otherwise be filled with words of sadness.

The soul is in hopeful condition when the strug-
gle between right and wrong is on. When we will
not fight our own sinfuness it is because the evil
has the ascendency. But when the soul mutinies
against sin then there is hope.

CONAN DOYLE, THE FAMOUS CREATOR OF
"SHERLOCk HOLMES" RECEIVES THE
HIGHEST PRICE EVER PAID IN
AMERICA FOR ANY SERIAL
STORY
$4,000 For Just the Magazine Rights ]
of His Thrilling New Romance,
'Sir Nigel"
Exclusively In The Sunday Philadelphia
Press

When the most successful novelist of our
tine, at the zenith of his fame, writes his
undouhted masterpiece, the literary event
calls for more than passing comment. The
eyes OF all the world who write, ard of all
the world who read, become fixed upon the
career of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Knight
by grace Of King Edward, and by grace Of
the people the first story.,eller in the world
to-day.
No author is better qualified to put forth a
volume that will endure as long MS English
literature is extant than Conan Doyle. and
no work will come nearer being the greatest
story that the world has ever read than ''Sir
Nigel" for which the astounding price OF
S25, 900 has been paid, not only for lust the
American magazine rights, but for the rights
for just this publication.
All the critics say that Conan Doye's fame
rests not upon his ''Sherlock Holmes" stories
bat upon his "Whire Company" tale of
the middle ages. And another ''White Com.
pany' this thrilling new romance is to be,
in which Conan Doyle takes up "Sir Nigel'
at the age of twenty-five, Just as he is setting
forth in life to mend with his sword the fall.
len fortunes of his noble house and family.
Critics and editors who have been favored
with carly readings OF it say it is unquestion.
ably the greatest h storical romance ever
written, and will without doubt be the liter.

mission With Them.

Word has been received by State
Zoologist Surface that man rep
resentine himself as an agent of the
agricultural department has been
going through Northumberland
county telling farmers whose orch
ards are afflicted with the San J 1se
Scale that they must cut down their
trees. This advice has so incensed
the people of that county that when
w. H. Brinkerhoff, the official in.
spector and demonstrator of North
cumberland, Montour and Schuyl-
kill counties, presented himself he
has been turned away. They fear
that he is a colleague of the bogus
odvice man. State Zoologist Sur
face said yesterday that the actions
of the fraud were defeating the pur-
poees of the department, which are
the detecting of the scale and the
treatment of trees that are affected.
The inspectors hereafter will carry
cards bearing a commission from
the agricultural department.
