FOUR YEARS
IN THE NAVY

Edward F. Reynolds, ESQ.,. has re
turned to Danvile after serving a four
years enlistment in Uncle Sam 8
Navy. He has seen large part Of the
globe and has had rich and varied
experience. His four years absence
has wrought but little change. He is
looking exceedingly we'll indicating
that life in the Navy agrees with him.
Mr.. Reynolds enlisted as a mac him
ist. He served on various vessels and
with the exception of six months spent
on the North Atlantic, during his en-
listment lie was cruising on the wat
ers of the Asiatio Station. The latter
Station embraces not only Chinese and
Japanese waters but also the Philip
pine Islands.
What adds especial interest to Mr..
Reynolds experience in the Navy is
the fact that he was stationed in the
Far East during the great conflict be-.
tween Japan and Russia. His vessel
was within five miles of Port Arthur
and inside of the firing line while the
dreadful bombardment was on in
which the Japanese reduced that we'll
nigh impregnable fortress. He is there
fore one of the comparatively few eye
witnesses that exist of the greatest
Naval feat ever performed IN history
Mr.. Reynolds among other interest
ing out of the way places visited Vlad-
ivostok, the port which formed bone
of contention between the Japanese
and Russians. His description of the
place, which no attempt will be made
to reproduce here. is very interesting,
the population being mixed one, in
which Americans are a rising and ag.
gressive element.
Our townsmsn kept diary while in
the Navy. which will prove of interest
to his friends aud of value to himself
as time wears on. Whether in stor m
or calm, whether in days of monotony
or when stirring scenes were witness.
ed every event was faithfully ohroni-
oled each day.
At, the expiration OF his enlistment, t,
Mr.. Reynolds was Chief Machinist.
He has not yet decided whether he
will re-enlist or not.

A Psalm of Farm Life.

The following timely parody wa
handed in at the IntellI Igencer office l..
. DanviIle man with the request that i
be published. He had just done hi
Saturdays marketing:
Tell me not in broken measures
Modern farming does not pay,
For the farm produces chickens,
Aud the hens--do they not lay?
Eggs are high and going higher,
And the price is soaring fast;
Every time we go to market
1t is higher than the last.
Not a coop but it produces
Every day an egg or two;
30 each farmer gains his millions.
Even though his hens be few.
Every egg is very precious,
And the hens ara held in awe:
When hen begius to cackle,
Then the farmer goes IIaw. haw !!
In the broad aud busy iarmyard
Struts a rooster now and then,
But the shrewd, bewhiskered farmer
Only notices the hen.
Trust no rooster. howe'er snowy
B. the feathers in his tail:
Paw attention to the bddies,
Ami your wealth will never fail.
Lives of farmers all remind us
We may roll in wealth some day.
II WE hustle to the market
vi II the eggs our pullets lay.

The Spring Inspection.

Preparations are already under way
among the companies of the National
Guard of Pennsy lvsnis for the annual
spring inspection, which for the local
oompany will occur early this year
and be particularly rigid.
The 1906 spriug inspections will be-
gin Janaurv 10Th, and the 18th will be
the first regiment of the brigade to be
inspected. which indicates that Com
pany + will be inspected very soon
after the middle of January.
While the orders for the inspection
nave not as yet been received by Gap
tain Gear hart, it is known, from the
general disposition to raise the stand
ard of efficiency in the Guard, that
the approaching inspection will be the
most rigid in the history of the organ
ization. Especial attention is to be
given to the knowledge and duties of
the non- commissioned officers Here
tofore the appointments of such was
made, in most cases. because of per-
sonal fsvoritism, but now they will
receive their appointments only after
a most rigid competitive examination.
This step has been taken. as it has
been shown repeatedly that the
strength of military organi cation de-
pends almost entirely uron the effioi-
ENJOY of>its uoncommiss oned officers.
The inspection will follow out the
line Of sq1ad duty as was shown in
the inspection of last Spring. For this
reason every noncom missioned officer
will have to be oonversant with all
the duties Of squad leader. and be
able to drill such in its entirety.
The inefficienoy in guard duty at the
recent inspection at Camp was prob
ably caused by too much attention be-
ing given to the changes in the reRu.
lations. This failure must be reotified
at the coming inspection, at which
time guard duty will divide the atten.
tion of the inspecting Officer.
The attendance at drills throughout
the State has been very lax and has
caused the company commanders SO
much worriment that the matter has
been taken up by Adjutant General
Stuart, with the result that recent
orders show that absentees will be
summarily dealt with.
The local company has been ordered
to drill twice a week-Tuesday and
Thursday evenings - until further
noGioe. The company has recently lost
two corporals, Horace Hahn. who en-
listed in the United States Army and
Theodore g. Fischer. whose enlist
ment has expired. These vacancies
must be filled before inspection. The
command is also short four men from
the maximum strength. These will be
recruited, as 1t IL the desire of the
local commander that Company F have
its full quota on the floor the night of
inspection.

May Install GaSOlene Cars.

There is a probability that an en-.
tirely new feature in street railways
may be introduced in this vicinity
when the bloomsbury and MIllville
line, now in course of construction, is
completed. the officers of the company
having practically decided to equip
their line with gasoline cars.
But little is known of the gasoline
car In this section of Il country, but
its utility and the practioability of its
uss is known in the West, where the
Union Pacific Railroad uses the cars
In large Numbers. Each car is equip
p>d with six cylinder gasoline en-
gine developing 100 horsepower, and
is capabls of attaining a speed of go
miles per hour.
The equipment of the BIoomsburR-
Millviile line with these cars would
obviate the necessity of power house
ana all overhead construction work,
including wires, poles, etc., which in
itself would be great inducement I'm
their favor.

No Snow Heavier Than Ohe Inch.

George Hartman. of Reading, who
has reputation as weather prophet :,
predicts that there will be no snow
fall this winter heavier than one
inch. AS the basis for this belief he
said: "It is rare that we have sum.
mer in this climate that produces two
crops of vegetables. Such was the
summer of 1905. When it occurs 1t is
followed by q mild winter. The sum
mer of 1877 produced two crops of
vegetables and there was very little
snow the next winter. The weather
this winter will be very similar to
that of 28 years ago."

pointed Charles A. Wagner of Lime.

OF Montour County until the first

of broad and liberal ideas. but also a
substantial and energetic citizen, the
owner of several of the finest farms in
Montour County acquired through his
own efforts.
Mr.. Wagner will probably take his
