THE POOR MINE MULE.
He is Attacked With a Strange Disease in
SchuylkiII County.

Some of the collieiies in Schuyl-
kill and Northumberland are idle
this week because of strange di-
sease rendering them unfit for work
Just what the nature of the disease
is has not been made known, but
it seems to have spread throughout
almost the entire stables. In order
to properly treat the animals the
colieries were closed down.
This is the first time since the
early Seventies" that mine had
to close down because of disease
among mules. At that time the
Canadian epizootic spread all over
this country. reaching the mules in
the depths Of the mines and all of
the collleries had to lie idle until
the disease abated the time of idle
ness lasting ten days or-more.

100000 Cars Rave Been Ordered Ry
Railroads

About 100000 freight and pas
senger cars have been ordered from
car works all over the United
States by the railroads of the coun-
try to be delivered some time dur
ing the coming year.
OF this number $4,000 have been
or will be ordered in the near future
by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
This is the largest single order by
any one railroad that has ever been
made at anv time by any railroad
in the world.
The next TO the highest order by
the Pennsylvania Railroad is that
of the New York Central Railway,
which will place an order for as
900 freight cars of various descrip-
tions before the first of the year.
Other companies have placed or
ders for as high as 500 cars and
other smaller companies have or
dered various kinds OF freight cars
anywhere from so to 500, all to be
delivered next year.
To do this all of the car works of
the country will be rushed from
now until the latter part of 1906
and maybe far into 1907. The
Pennsylvania Railroad will rely to
great extent on its own car works
and part of the order cf IS, 900
will go to these works, a large num-
Der of which are on the lines west
of Pittsburg. The shops at Al
toona have received orders for cars
and will continue doing so for some
time to come.
The building of these cars will
probably mean the hiring of hun.
dreds of car builders in the shops
throughout the country and will
mean steady work for years.

A hungry man is hard to reason

The cheerful giver has no need

Life is what we make it-death

Some men mistake their moral

A tract may save a soul if thr.

Sometimes God takes away Our
message that we may listen to His
