WOMAN HUMORIST

New York owns a woman humorist
of rare quality. Marguerite Mering-
ton; is her name, and the world of fun
her field Miss Merington has a sense
of humor livelier than that possessed
by many a man who holds high rank
as a mirthmaker, and she compels
recognition of 1t in unrestricted COM
petition with: trousered wits. She
poked fun at John Kendrick Bangs,
Rear Admiral Coghlan, Israel Zangwill
and Charles BatteH Loomis at club
meeting in the Waldorf Astoria early
in the season SO effectively that none
Of them has dared cross blades with
her since. Her humor is Of the quiet
sort. but the genuine fun in 1t sparkles
through her quiet manner like sun
shine through moonlight. She ad-
dresses her victim at the outset with
the prettiest Of purrs and COOS. but by
the time she approaches the point Of
the witticism he usually scents danger
and beats a retreat with the laughter
Of the listeners ringing in his ears.

rived at the sawmAl hee took it off
and flung it into the yard. AS he was
about to return home he noticed a Pc
culiar bulge on the stick and decided
to saw it in two on the shingle saw.

a SONG OF CHEER.

Sing song from the noon Of the day,
Wake refrain from its glory;
Bring me the how'rets that bloom on the way;
Make life a beautiful story;
Swell the sweet anthems that ring with a hope
Born not earth and its sorrow;
Tell me of gates that waiting to ope
For us the perfect Tomorrow
Sing to me never Of night or Of gloom
Life holds enough Of such sadness
Chill and decay let hide in the tomb:
Death gives echo of gladness.
Cast not shadow; encourage strife; :
Time to it's close is fast speeding;
Harvest the Joy and the sunshine OF life;
And follow where co nscience Is leading.

Law May Be Tested.

1t is possible that the new vacci
nation law may be tested in this
county, as there is liable to be a
clash between the state board OF
health and the local authorities.
DR.. Arment, the health officer, has
been instructed by the state board
10 insist upon keeping all children
out of the schools unless they are
vaccinated OF can produce certifi-
cate that they have been successful
)y vaccinated. There are a numb
er of cases where children have
come with certificates from a ply
sician that their physical condition
is such that it would be dangerous
to vaccinate them. DR.. Arment
has been advised by the state board
that such pupils cannot attend
school.
In the Sth0Ol Journal just issued
Superintendent Evans advises
teachers that they should permit
such cases 10 remain III SCnool.
Should any teacher be arrested for
not sending such case home, a
test case would be made, and de-
cision OF the court, or the verdict of
jury obtained The matter has
assumed such a shape that it is very
desirable that the question should
be decided as to whether child
whose physical condition is certified
by a physician to be such that
health would be endangered by
vaccination, must take the risk or
be turned out of school. In the
case Of healthy child there is nc
question whatever but that he must
be vaccinated or be refused school
privileges.

No Strike.

Occasionally one meets with a
metropolitan paper or magazine in
which some sedentary philosopher
with less knowledge of the coal
trade than of the possession of the
equinoxes, discuss the likelihood of
coal strike next spring when the
present contract between the mine
owners and mine workers termin-
ateS.
Such speculations are not wortE
moments thought, for the reason
that there are not the remotest pos
sibi'ities of a strike. In the first
place there is nothing in existing
conditions to warrant SO great a
catastrophe; secondly, neither the
companies nor the men want a
strike; thirdly, the country is so
busy that it cannot afford it; fourth
ly, there is sufficient common sense
among employers and employed to
avert it, and there are various 9TH
er reasons that it is not necessary
to enumerate, among them the
abounding prosperity of the nation.
Nobody wants strike or lockout
next spring, and as President Nit
chell declared in an interview on the
subject a short time ago, it would
be nothing less than criminal to
precipitate snch a calamity. That
there are certain questions in dis
pute between mine owners and mine
workers is undeniable, but they are
not SO serious as to be impossible Of
adjustment among rational men,
and the country will look for the
exercise Of common sense on all
sides in dealing with the subject.
Viewed in this light business in
the Anthracite valleys should not
be influenced adversely during the
winter season by the menace of
trouble in the coal regions. .-Scran-

Trying to Get New York Train.

Berwick business men are making
an effort to have the d. l.. & w,
Railroad Co. run its New York
train to that place instead of lying
over at Plymouth as now. This
would give Shickshinny and Ber.
wick residents a most valuable
through train which now runs
through from Plymouth to Hobok-
en-, landing passengers in the me
tropolis in time for dinner, and they
can return home the same day as
the train starts on the return trip at
4 p. m. and would reach Berwick
shortly after 10 o'clock. By the
extending OF this train service to
Berwick the Lackawanna railroad
would undoubtedly secure quite a
heavy traffic. EcAo.
Why not extend this train service

STEAM HEAT GOES Up

Another advance in the price of
steam heat has been found necessa-
ry by John NJ. Clark Esq, receiver
of the Bloomsbury Steam Heat Co.
He has issued the following circular
letter TO consumers, which explains
tself
Bloomsburg, Pa, Nov. IS, 1905.
Dear Sirs:-. The undersigned
having been appointed by the
Court of Common Pleas Of Colum-
bia County, receiver of the Blooms
burg Steam and Electric Light
Company it become his duty to in.
form you as a consumer that the
business of supplying steam heat
cannot be further continued at the
rates heretofore charged. Opera
tons under those rates means oper-
alton at a loss. The rates for
steam heat must therefore be in.
creased or the business discontinued
by the receiver. 1t is the desire
of the receiver, for the best inter
ests of all concerned, to continue
the operation of the steam plant,
bat whether or not this can be done
will depend upon the action of the
consumers.
Bills will be rendered as former
ly upon the first of each month for
the month preceding, and must be
paid on or before the tenth OF the
month or five per cent penalty will
be added.
All present arrearages must be
Immediately paid, and hereafter,
when the consumer has become one
month in arrear, the receiver will
cut off the supply of steam until
arrearage and expense Of cutting
off has been paid.
Failure to notify the receiver that
you do not wish to be supplied with
steam heat under the above terms
will be construed as an acceptance
of the same.
JOHN NJ. CLARK,
Receiver Bloomsbury Steam anc
Electric Light Co.
People who have their own steam
plants in their homes or business
buildings are congratulating them,
selves.
1t is to be hoped that the com
pany will be able to continue to rur
the plant the balance of this season
at least, as its stoppage would fine
many buildings without heat ii
mid-winte-. Next summer there
will probably be a rush to put il
private plants, unless the Steam
Company can make some arrange
ment by which its permanent CON
tinuance can be assured.

by the court of Huntingdon county
the case of whether the county or
borough of Mount Union must pay
the expenses of quarantine of those
families which were unable to pay

epidemic of smallpox in that place.
The suit was instituted by praying
the court to grant mandamas

$II76.65. Judge Woods after a
careful examination of the prece-

ing the writ of mandamus and thus
leaving the expense where it prop
erly belongs, namely in the district
