One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to exceed
ten per cent. of his earnings. He must spend
nine dollars in living expenses for every
dollar saved. That being the case he can
not be too careful about unnecessary ex-
penses. Very often a few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t is
the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs
but a few cents, and a bottle oft in the house
often saves a doctors bill of several dollars,

Sunbury'S Tax rIuddIe,

Mr.. p. III. Moore and Mr.. W. q.
Hoffman, says the Sunbury Daily, have
been appointed appraisers of the prop
erty of Mr.. W. Berry, ex-tax collect
or. They met Saturday afternoon to
determine the value of the real estate
which Mr.. Berry possesses. The prop
erty will all be sold at public sale,
and the proceeds turned over to Mr..
Johnson B. Miller, the assignee. The
amount will then be turned over to
the treasurers of the school dist let,
the borough and the county to meet
his shortage. The real estate to be ap-
praised is as follows: Two double
houses in the Fifth ward, one vacant
lot on Fourth street in the Sixth ward,
one vacant lot on Fifth street in the
Sixth ward, his own home on South
Seventh street, and a vacant lot near
his residence. 1t is believed, however,
that this property is not entirely un-
incumbered, and that liens against it
must be met before anything can be
applied to Mr.. Berry's other obliga-
tions. Immediately upon the disclos-
ure of the shortage in his accounts as
tax collector Mr.. Berry turned over
his entire possessions. Whether they
will meet the deficit is impossible to
determine at present However, ST.
500, which Mr.. Berry had in cash, has
been given to the treasurers of the
borough and school district to meet
current expenses.

Fine Lot of Bass FRY.

The shipment of bass from Pleasant
Mount hatchery, expected to arrive at
Danville a couple of weeks ago, but
which failed to appear at that time,
reached this city on labor day and
were placed in the river.
The fish, which arrived on the :33
ID, L. & W. train, were met by re-
sponsible parties and taken off the
messengers hands. There were in all
six cans and the fish were exceedingly
fine, running i'll size three inches and
upwards. Altogether, they are regard
ed as the finest lot of bass fry that
were ever shipped to Danville.
The fish were distributed along the
river at different points between the
bridge and the hospital grounds.
Now, if people up the river and those
down the river will do as much to re-
stock the north branch as Danville
fishermen have done it will not be
many years until the stream will af-
ford as good fishing as it did at any
time in its history. On the other
hand, without such cooperation, while
the effort put forth here, will not be
wholly lost, it will be impossible to
accomplish the object aimed at and a
fine opportunity will be lost.

Girls Dressed as Boys Arrested.

Mary Brown, of Milton, and Eva
Polk, of Serene, Columbia county, were
taken into custody at Catawissa yes
terday afternoon and are now inmates
of the Bloomsbury Jail.
The girls were dressed in boys cloth
ing and were out ON lark. They had
their hair cut short, and to all appear
ances were bona fide boys of the vaga-
rant type. They had been on the
"road" for over week and when in
terviewed in Jail last night, they said
they had been having fine time, and
that they had been over ali this sec
tion of the State. They are both about
sixteen years of age.
The Polk girl seems to be the more
daring. She stated last evening that
one day she took a job and worked for
a while in saw mill, and that at an
other time she had hired out for the
winter to farmer near Nescopeck.

How 1t Is Done in Shamokin.

A certain young man in Shamokin
called upon young lady last week
and in the course of the evening he re-
solved to kiss her, he made known his
intentions. She said, "John if you
do I'll scream. He didn't believe
her. however, and he undertook the
liberty and in moment he performed
the act with rousing good smack.
The lady screamed and brought the
father and mother down stairs to the
room. 'What on earth is the matter?"
exclaimed the mother. The young
man stood at the piano almost paralyz-
ed with fear, wishing the roof would
fall in and bury everybody.
The young lady by this time was
standing on the sofa. The mother de-
manded an explanation The young
lady then told her mamma that she
saw a mouse and it frightened her al
most to death. The parents went to
their room and the young man kissed
her until she couldn't tell mouse
from mule. .-Shamokin Dispatch.

THE BLUES" ARE
IN THE LEAD

The membership contest of the Y.
M. G. A. opened Tuesday eve under
the most auspicious circumstances, the
"blues" starting out ahead.
Although the total membership of
the Y M. @. A. here is some $50, yet
all told those in the hall Tuesday night
when the contest was launched was
only one hundred. What the meeting
lacked in numbers, however, seemed
to be made up in enthusiasm. As plan
ned the whole membership in short
time will be enrolled on one side or
the other and with so many willing
hands working there need be no mis-
givings as to the result.
General Secretary Bernhard presided.
There was an opening selection by
Metherell's orchestra, which kindly
volunteered its services. There were
a few suggestions by the general Sec
retary, after which all was in readiness
for choosing Sides or in other words
selecting workers for the contest. A
coin was tossed up, which gave first
choice to Joe Divel, who represents
the blues.
A good deal of interest was attached
to the choosing of sides. especially
while the more devoted and effectual
workers of the association were being
picked out alternately. 1t was soon
over and each captain had forty five
men.
The choosing did not end Tuesday
night. Each of the captains will con-
tinue to draw on the membership not
represented at the meeting uutil every
man and boy-with his consent-is en-
rolled on one side or the other.
After the formation of sides Tuesday
night refreshments, consisting of ice
cream, cake and fruit, were served by
the ladies' auxiliary. At the conclu-
sion of the meeting the "blues" were
ahead and the fact was indicated by a
blue light at the entrance to the build
ing.

Addition to Packer Hospital.

On account of the great increase in
the number of patients at the Mary M.
Packer hospital, Sunbury, the direct
ors have decided to build an addition
to the institution at cost of 81, 000
The preparation of the plans is un-
der way at the present time and work
will be started within the very near
future. The addition will be equipped
with wards, private rooms, a diet
kitchen and new surgical ward. The
directors have sufficient funds to build
the addition but will be compelled to
solicit contributions for the furnish
ings from the public.
Last year showed marked increase
in the number of patients treated and
decrease in the death rate. There
were also many more paid patients
than ever before in the history of the
hospital.

A Swiss Dainty That Is Made of Pre-
served Cherries.

SefNeu SherrleS.
Last summer | ate genuine Swiss
chlrschmus twenty years old. 1t tasted
like concentration of all the richness
and sweetness of the most perfect
cherries. In appearance it was pur-
plish black mass. Age had not impair
ed 1t In the least.
Upon inquiry l learned how this
cherry concoction, with its wonderful
preserving quality, is made. The cher
ries used must be perfect-very large,
ripe, juicy black ones and, above all,
very sweet
The juice of them pressed out and
strained through bag Is put in
large preserving kettle, at the bottom
of which is placed a piece of smoked
pork fastened to block of wood. The
wood serves as weight to keep the
fat down and prevent the juice from
burning as 1t thickens.
The cherry Juice is boiled for about
twenty-four hours without sugar, but
stirred from time to time until 1t
becomes mass of sweetness so firm
and thick that it would not fall If the
kettle were inverted.
That is all, simple process, but the
result is delicious. This chirschmus Is
in general use In Switzerland with the
"susse ankle" (sweet butter) and bread.
