right here that If he is a hunter,

too. Ia his article he said that
fellow with one of those long
range repeating rifles, begins
to shoot at the first thing he gets
his eyes on, whether he is sure
that 1t is a deer or not, and bangs
away as long as he can see bush
shake.
Now, my dear reader, 1t is very
easy to see that such men as he
are not fit to hunt with a repeat

for he is only Judging other peo-
pie by llmself-and he would be
sure to injure some one. lie also

yards, was only shooting to hear

what he would do, but a sports

CHRISTMAS IN M'CONNELLSBURG.
Weather Ideal, aud All Other Conditions
Combined TO Make |; Day Long to
Be Remembered.

Conditions have never been
more favorable for the enjoyment
of a regular old fashioned Christ
mas, than were those which at.
tended that greatest of holidays
which was observed Tuesday.
The year Just closing has been
one of exceptional prosperity to
the masses of the American peo.
pie, and the home gathering of ab.
sent mem bers of families, the eX
changing of gifts, the family din
ners--all tended to make it a sea-
son of peace and good will.
The display of Christmas goods
in the windows of our merchants
was unusually fine, and tile holi
day trade has never been more
satisfactory to our people.
The Christmas tree for the chill
dren received it's foil share of at
tention, a1d in many homes the
display was simply grand, and
the toys so abundant and varied
that the children hardly knew
which toy to play with first,
While McConnellsburg has no
poor people, IN the sense in which
real poverty Is used, the less ,ort-
unate homes, and the home In
which there were sick, were not
overlooked, and baskets contain,
ing toys, ccndies, and fruits for
the children, and tempting viands
for the sick. were carried in, and
everybody was male to feel the
genuine spirit of the day.
While the ground was covered
with snow-not enough for sleigh
ing-the day was clear and bright,
the air crisp, and the weather
ideal for Christmas. About three
o'clock ia the afternoon, the Nc
Connellsburg band appeared on
the principal streets, and added
to the enllvenment OF the town
by playing number of splendid
selections.
Whilo our stores have not quite
arrived at the point OF closing on
Christmas, there was not much
| dong, and the time is probably
not far distant when every husi,
ness house will be closed on
| Christmas same as on Sunday.

MINE WORKERS BIG EARNINGS,
Official Report Shows that Average Year
ly Pay is Nearly S70O. Only Two
Industries Paw More.

New York, Decem Der 26 On.
lv two classes of labor in Pennsyl
vania are as highly paid as the
mine workers. This factls shown
IN the report of the State Secre
tary of International Affairs Civ
ing the result Of an Investigation
of the yearly earnings of all the
principal clar ses of labor. tap
pears from this report that it II
more profitable to work iu anthra
cite coal mines than IN mills or
factories, not only because of the
higher pay received but on ac-
count of the lower rents paid by
miners.
Last year the hard coal miners
received, on au average, $500 81
each. The average ant ual wages
of tho skilled and unskllled EN-.
ployes of S4 manufacturing IN.
dustries, representing 7l0 estab
Iishments, were tabulated; IN on.
IL two of them, the tool steel and
steel pump industries, did the
wages of the anthracite miners
although they are popularly sup
posed to be underpad.
In so out of the "a industries
cited fhe average earnings of the
workers fell considerably below
those of the anthracite miners,
and AZ pay their employees at least
5000 less a year than the coal
com paules pay the miners.
The Department of Internal
Affairs also learned the average
annual rent pail by the employees
of me nufacturlng industries in
the state. The statistics show
that from his larger income the
miner does not pay out a. much
in rent as The manufacturing en-
ploye. The average rent paid by
anthracite miners last year was
S78. OF 73 lndustrle, investigat-
ed the workers IN only three Of
them paid less. Those employed
IN the other 70 paid from 800 TO
S204 year. Most of them paid
as much as $40.
The difference il the rent paid
by the mluer and that paid by the
manufacturing employe Is eX.
planned by the fact that the latter
usually lives in a city. The min
er generally speaking lIYes where
go d houses can be had for less
money, and the smaller rent
does not indicate inferior accom-
mod ltlons.

REFORM LAWS DUE.
Legislature Will Convene Next Week.
Many Interesting Things to
Consider.
M'CLAIN WILL LIKELY BE LEADER.

Legislature will convene in spe
cial session in the new capitol on
New Years Day. 1t looks at thus
time as though the session will be
marked by many reform laws,
and that Frank McLain, "the
Red Rose of Lancaster" as he
has come to be known, will bc
chosen to preside over It's doing.
Up TO this time, the lancaster
man has had smooth sailing, and
there are no storm clouds on the
horizon of his prospects. McLain
has been Republican floor leader
and is thoroughly conversant with
legislative pr ocedure.
Here are a few of the most IN
teresting topics likely to hive
prominent places in the discus.
sions Of the assem- bly,
A uniform two cent rate pas
senger fare bill.
A bill permitting trolley and
electric companies to carry
freight
A Jew pure food bill.
An investigation of alleged
"graft" in the o'ecnon of the new
capitol.
A more vigorous child labor
law.
A bill to be lntr oduced by Sen.
atcr Fox for the extension Of
Capitol park.
A report from the com mlttee
appointed to investigate condi-
tlons in the state hospitals for
the insane, with recon menda-
lions for relief.
Bills increasing the powers of
the State Department of Health,
md increasing the approprla-
tions of the State Highway d.
partment to $3,000,0J0, and the
State Armory Board to $780, 900.
A bill to amend the fish and
game laws, and forbidding aliens
TO carry fire arms.
A bill to regulate the granting
of divorce and separation papers
in Pennsylvania.
Already there are indications
that some of these bills will have
easy sailing. The two cent rate
bill seems to be marked for early
passage. The railroads may de-
cide to fight 1t, but there is nc
sign of thus at present. Many OF
the legislators some say two.
thirds stand pledged to support
the two cent bill, and it is hard to
see how the railroads could put
up a successful fight against 1t,
even were they SO inclined. II
is safe to l.redict That the day OF
the 'wo cent rate is near at hand.
But it is different with the troll
ley freight bill. The railroads
will probably fight that measure
to the la It ditch. Even now, it is
understood, they are preparing
to show how the passenger facili
ties of the trolley roads would be
Eampered and traffic greatly de
layed if freight were 20 be made
a part of their traffic.
1t is probable thai good roads
legislation will be popular, and
thai Commissioner Hunters re
quest for $4,000, 900 to carry on
his work will be granted.
