Old Company Dissolves.

After being in existence ninety-siy
years, the stockholders of the Periio-
men Il Reading Turnpike company,
met recently ut Potttstown, Pa,
to dissolve the company. This step is
taken because the corporation no longer
owns any pike. its last mile having been
condemned and paid for last month. At
the last meeting the proceeds of this
mile. S2350, was divided among the
stockholders, making a total of about
$4,000 that has been distributed as a
result of the condemnation of the en-.
tire pike during the past fifteen years.
The company was incorporated by spe-
cal act of the Pennsylvania Legislature
on March 20. 1910, to build pike from
Reading TO the Perkiomen at College
vile. For years it was one of the high
ways to Philadelphia and paid large div
idends or its ISL 800 capital stock
Twenty years ago the agitation started
for the abolition of toll gates, and ever
since one section after another was CON
demned till no more of the pike re-
manned.

DESCRIBES DEATH SENSATION.
Sees Vision with Many Strange and Won
derful Things Revealed.

The sisters at St. Joseph's hospital in
Marinette, Wis. tell of a peculiar cir
cumstance in connection with the death
of Mrs. Elizabeth Rochon of that city.
Mrs Rochon was brought to the hospital
in the last stages of dropsy. On the night
before her death she fell into a state of
extreme physical depression, sinking
away to the very point of death so that
her pulse was practically unnoticeabe.
All night she lay in this condition,
watched by relatives who were awaiting
the end. Suddenly, however, i'll the
early morning she reused up with sud
den revival of strength and spoke to
those about her. She said that as she
lay in the comatose state, she seemed to
be on the summit of a great mountain.
When she reached the top she saw many
strange and wonderful beings who told
her that they did not want ner there-at
least not then. The vision finally faded
and the aged sufferer awoke. Rev.
Father Neumeicr was called and admin
istered the last sacraments and extreme
JUNCTION. Mrs. Rochon uttered a prayer
and in perfect peace fell asleep. In u
very short time she passed away.

on the increase among the women OF

of warning in that bearing-down feel

Erncing n Fence Post.

Oftcntimes II is necessary or polite
to curve the farm fence ut a certain

fences appreciate the difficulty of set
