around this place will be occupied by
new families.
The grain here and in the surround
ing country is looking bad. The
ground being bare, the grain had no
protection. During the nights it
would freeze and thaw again during
the day, raising it out of the ground,
especially so in low land, killing it.
The roads are in terrible condi-
ION, being so muddy that no one
cares about driving them. On Sun
day evening we had one of the worst
snow storms that we have had this
winter making the roads almost i'm
passible. Had we had this snow about
two months ago we would of had good
sleighing and probably much better
roads now. If the roads stay this
way the people can hardly get moved
by the first of April.

A physician in charge Of a well

A strange custom prevails among
certain tribe In the Caucasus. When n
single young man dies, some one calls
upon n bereaved parent who has car
rled to the grave marriageable daugh-
ter in the course Of a year and says:
"Your son Is sure to want wife. I'll
give you my daughter, and you shall de-
liver to me the marriage portion in re-
turn" A friendly offer of this dcscrip-
ton Is never rejected, and the two par
ties soon come to terms as to the
amount Of the dowry. which varies ac
cordlng to the advantages possessed
by the girl in her lifetime. Cases have
been known where the young mans IA
ther has given as much rs thirty cows
to secUte dead wife for his dead s0u.

Lees Answer.

Early in the war between the states,
before General Lee had demonstrated
his pre-eminence as The southern lead
er, he was severely criticised on more
than one occasion by certain General
Whiting. Whiting had stood at the
head of his class at West Point an,l
was considered not only by himself,
but by others, as Il very bright and
capable man. One day President Da-
Wis, wishing an officer for some highly
important command, called upon Gen
eral Lee for advice.
"What do you think of Whiting"
asked Davis.
Lee answered without hesitation
commenting Whiting as one Of the
ablest men i'll the army, we'll qualified
in every way for even the most re-
sponsible position. One of the officers
present was greatly surprised and at
the first opportunity drew Lee aside.
Don't you know what unkind things
Whiting has been saying about you"
he inquired.
Lees answer was of the best.

president desired to know my opinion
of Whiting, not Writings opinion Of

DO YOU WANT $20P
CATCH HORSE THIEF
Long Forgotten Law Reviv.
ed by NOrristown Man
Who Claims Reward.
MILEAGE Is ALSO HIS

Failure of the Courts to obey the
mandate of an old law relating to
horse stealing has been revealed
through PhiPa being called upon for
the first time in more than a-quarter
Of a century to pay reward for the
arrest and coLv ction of horse
thief.
Through the application of Frank
NJ )les, of Norri5town, the County
Commissioners have been directed to
pay reward of S25 to him under the
law referred to, which was enacted by
the Legislature in 1921, and which
applies to every county in Pennsyl-
vania.
Early in January a horse belong
ing to Charles X. Smith, of Chestnut
Hill, was stolen by Joseph Hasson.
Moles captured Hasson, whom he
handed over to the authorities of
Philadelphia county. On January
% he was convicted and sentenced to
six months imprisonment.
Moles in some manner learned of
the existence of the law, and made
application for payment of the SO
reward by law, together with the ad-
ditional amount of cents for every
mile necessarily travelled. When the
matter was brought to the attention
of the Commissioners, they were
amazed, but after an investigation by
Commissioner Anderson, who is a
lawyer, the fact that the law made
such provision was discovered.
1t is expected that as result of
Moles' action, the Commissioners may
be flooded with applications for re-
wards. According to the police re-
cords, the crime of horse stealing is
not rare, and the thief is usually
captured.
The act of 1921 reads:
Whosoever, after the passage of this
act, shall pursue and apprehend any per-
son who shall have stolen any mare,
horse or gelding within any county of
this Commonwealth, on the conviction
of the person so apprehended, shall be
entitled to reward of 500 and cents
for every mile necessarily travelled.

town. The general in private life was
n successful young attorney who had
believed himself too busy to, fall in
love, but at sight of Grace he had
capitulated. During the fortnight of
her stay he had made ardent love and
did not doubtful in time his suit
would be favorably received. The girl
liked him, for he was frank and hand
some and not quite spoiled by success.
Yet there was a barrier TO her heart
which he could not pass. She would
not allow him to visit her at the little
city where she lived, and he was forced
to be content with the half promise that
they might meet at camp, and straight
way Randolph Barry began to count
the days which must elapse before the
encampment.
Yet their meeting on the evening of
the first day had not been encourag-
Ing. The colonels daughter had greet
ed him as she did her other friends.
And this second interview! He ground
his teeth as he thought of his folly. An
hour later he laid his version of the
encounter with the sentry before Major
General Goodwin, commander of the
two brigades in camp.
"Have a drink, Barry" urged his su-
perior when he had finished, "and you'll
probably feel better. | can't order
those boys under arrest for that"
This confounded young Kennedy was
lmpudent, l tell YOU" snarled Barry.
Hes a pretty soldier, quoting general
orders to me when he was disobeying
one when l rode up! | want him in
the guardhouse just to square myself
with Grace Van Tuyl" He clicked his
spurs viciously.
Cant make regulars out of these
fellows in ten days" was the conciliat-
ing reply. discipline Is all right, in
moderation. We can't slut down on
'em real hard. Why, this man Ken
nedy owns factory down in Trenton.
He's got dead loads of money. I'm sur
prised he was as decent as you admit
he was" and the generals eyes twin
kled.
"Jim," returned Barry very earnest
ly, "Ive got to see him court martialed.
I know Miss Van Tuyl well, and, and"
he hesitated n momcnt-"it makes q
difference what she thinks of me. You
underestimate"
General Goodwin was silent mo-
ment. When he spoke, he had dropped
the half bantering manner which had
marked the Interview on his part. His
tone was kindly and sincere: 81 under

GIBSON PICTURE FAD

With the Young
Women.

The Gibson picture habit has been ef-
fectually fastened on big proportion of
the reading population of this section by
the publication by the Sunday North
American of ten of the latest Of this
great American artists pictures as art
supplements. 1t has started the Gibson
collection fad. and this promises to last
until the last of the pictures are out.
There was a time when the Gibson girl
was the idol of the young woman. Now
the Gibson art supplement gives every
body an opportunity to collect the artists
works, and there will be few homes that
will not have a good representation with
in the next few weeks.
For the time being the collection Of
Gibson drawings has taken the place Of
the collection of post cards in Philadel-
phia, and the fad Is certain to spread to
all of the towns where the pictures are
made so easily obtainable.
The picture which The North American
is to issue next Sunday is "A Castle in
the Air" 1t is one of the most forceful
of Gibson's works. and teaches a broad
moral lesson to young people and old
alike
