Gadsby Jones was peppery man of
about fifty years who lived in the vii
lage of Hornsdale. 1t was well known
to all the inhabitants that he was pep-
perry and carried chip on his shout
der, and they took good care not to stir
him up. In the village of Winston,
four miles away, there lived another
peppery man about the same age. His
name was Talbot, and he was So
touchy that he had to be handled with
gloves. These two peppery old men
had known each other by name for ten
years before they were introduced.
Mr.. Jones happened to be over at Win
ston one day, and while at the hotel
Mr.. Talbot came in. They were rather
chary of each other for awhile, in
stinctively seeming danger, but when
that feeling had finally worn off bit
the peppery. Mr.. Jones remarked:
ITS my opinion, from what 1 have
seen so far this season, that we are
going to have plague of later bugs
l shouldn't wonder if we lost the whole

Mr.. Talbot. In my opinion all the in
dications point to return of the grass
hoppers."

''And / differ with you"

of grasshoppers.'
'Nor the slightest indication of later
bugs"

man.

had an ounce of brains''
Il demand an apology at oncel"
"And l demand the samei"
AS neither would apologize, they sep
arated in a spirit of bitterness AS
they lived four miles from each other
and as they had managed to get along
fairly well for years without knowing
each other, their feelings would have
made no difference but for one thing

Homeric Symbol.

You know the fine picture in Homer
of the dead leaves which fall to make
place for the young buds. 1t is as true
of men as of trees; we have our time
and pass away. Behind our vanished
youth terminates the youth of others.
Our children's destiny ought not to be
dulled by what there has been in ours.

A Four Years Pastorate.

At the Grove Presbyterian church
just before giving out the final hymn
Sunday night Rev. DR. Mccormack, the
pastor, announced that with Sun
day he closed the fourth year of his
pastorate.
The fruits of the four years work
have been most gratifying to the past
or and congregation alike. During the
year just closed the efforts have been
chiefly spent upon the men and church
erhood has been organized and the
general renovation of the church edifice
was provided for that was outlined in
these columns last week.
On recent occasion DR.. McCoI-
mack remarked that never during any
pastorate was he and his family hap
pier or more comfortably situated than
at Danville, all of which is most
gratifying news to the congregation,
which finds in Dr. Mccormack man
admirably suited to their tastes 1t
would be difficult to recall a time
when there was man in charge of
the Grove church, who was more pop
ular as pastor, whose services were
better attended, whose general qualifi-
cations were of higher order or who
was governed by higher moral and
Christian standards.
The Presbyterian Brotherhood at its
last meeting showed its appreciation
of DR.. Mccormack by presenting him
with "Wilmore's New Analytical
Reference Bible. " IL is of flexible
cover, superb in binding with the
name of the pastor in gilt letters on
the outside cover.

Excellent State of Public Health.

The report of the local registrar to
the bureau of vital statistics for June
comes very near giving Danville a
clean bill of health.
There was not single case of pneu-
monia nor of typhoid fever reported
during the month of June There was
one case of diphtheria, one case of
scarlet fever and four cases of measles.
No deaths resulted from contagious
diseases.
In the district, there were twenty
one deaths, five occurring at the hos
pital for the insane In May there
were twenty deaths. During the last
named month the deaths were more
than counter balanced by twenty five
births. From the view point of the
statistician it is interesting to note
that the birth rate in orr district is
uniformly slightly above the death
rate.
The practical immunity from ty-
phoid fever which we enjoy is also very
gratifying. While there was one case
of this disease, in May, in April as in
June there was not case of this dis
ease reported.

RUNAWAY ON
NORTH MILL Street

Charles and Warren johnson, sons
of i. P. Johnson, Valley township.
while driving into town on Saturday
afternoon. met with an exciting run
away and were thrown out of the bug
gy, which was badly wrecked.
1t happened during the rain, about
4 O'Clock. The young men had just
crossed the p. q r. track, when the
loud putting of passing locomotive
caused the horse to take fright. The
animal gave spring and broke the
brichband strap. AS result of this
the harness dropped about the amin
ais hind legs, which caused him to
kick. This quick and unexpected move
ment on the part of the horse discon-
certed the driver and caused him to
drop the lines.
The horse, unchecked and still very
much frightened, ran a short distance
further, when the wheels on one side
of the buggy dropped into declivity
some two feet deep which had been
excavated in preparing for the recon-
struction of the street. The vehicle
careened and the two young men were
gracefully dumped out landing unhurt
on the opposite bank, while the buggy
quickly righted itself.
From this point the horse ran south
ward on North Mill street. The empty
buggy bounced about at lively rate
as it traversed the several sguar es
where excavation is in progress, but
it managed to keep right side up un-
til it reached point opposite the Con-
tinental engine house, where it collid-
ed with telegraph post and upset
Dragging the overturned buggy, at
Mill and Centre streets the horse slip
ped on the paving and fell to the
ground.
Before he could regain his feet some
one was thoughtful enough to throw
his weight upon the animals neck
holding him down until he was un-
hitched. The horse, like the occupants
of the buggy, escaped unhurt. The
buggy top. however, and one wheel
was badly wrecked.

j. /. CORDY
HAS RESIGNED

Borough superintendent of schools
U. L. Gordy has rendered his resigna-
tion to the school board to take effect
on September lst. Mr.. Gordy has ac-
cepted the position of superintendent
of schools at Mt. Pleasant near Pitts

The news of Mr.. Gordy's resigna-
ton will cause general regret. Not
only is he an able and conscientious
instructor and superintendent, under
whom our schools have attained a
very high standard of efficiency, but
he possesses all the elements of char
acter that win and hold respect and
impart to his life an influence uplift-
ing in its nature. A man of brilliant
attainments he becomes a congenial
companion for all those who are climb
ing upward on the road to learning
but so strongly is the social and SYM
pathetic side of his nature developed
that the innumerable friendships form
ed which shine upon his life, are not
restricted to any class of people or to
any walk of life.
Mr.. Gordy came to Danville in 1900
After one year as principal of the
high school he was elected borough
superintendent, succeeding J. @. Hous-
er. On September 1st he will have

"Browny's" Career Is Cut Short.

Browny is dead. For the enlighten-
ment of those who did not know
Browny we would state that he was
the tan-colored bull dog adopted by
our police force.
Browny was familiar figure. In
early life he was fighter but as he
advanced in years he departed from
such vanities and began to take life
seriously. Browny was old, as dogs
go, and he looked like patriarch.
Thirteen or fifteen years was probably
the limit he had reached One half of
the time he sat in drowsy mood, ap.
parently asleep. At other times he sat
in silent meditation occasionally, es-
pecially at night, he howled. His bark
had a weird and muffled sound that
was altogetnel uut " pace in this
world.
Up to two years ago Browny belong
ed TO Block and Benzbach and he was
a good watch dog. He then began
travelling out at night and fell in with
the policemen. This led him to city
hall, which he seemed to prefer to the
"pants factory" From that date on
he slept in the hall way of the city
building and took his meals at the
back door of the City hotel, where the
supply was always abundant.
Sunday evening the end occurred.
Browny was in front of the hotel.

strong challenge of some sort for
Browny's fighting instincts were
aroused and full of grit he made a
dash for the strange dog.
The exertion was too much for him.
He had nearly reached his antagonist
when he suddenly paused He made a
circular movement as if endeavoring
to catch his tail and fell dead on the
spot, victim of heart failure.

Horse Thief in the Tolls.

Calvin Gray, of this place, was ar
rested yesterday at West Milton, charg-
ed with horse stealing. He was brought
to this place and in default of bail
was taken to the county Jail. 1t will
be remembered that some time ago
Gray and an acoomplice, named HUI
sizer, stole rig belonging to young
man named Burkey, that was hitched
at the rear of the Sohreyer store, ON
Elm street. Several days later officer
Scott recovered the horse and outfit at
Trevorton, but the thieves were gone.

Little Tot Has Narrow Escape.

Residents near the corner of Pine
and Front streets Monday night beheld
a thrilling sight, when a little tot about
a year old came within an ace Of be-
ing killed by a runaway horse.
About half past five o'clock horse
belonging to Herbert Myerly and
hitched to scraper escaped from the
driver and ran up Pine street.
The faster the horse ran, owing to
the presence of the scraper bouncing
along behind, the more terrified and
frenzied he seemed to become. Reach
ing Front street he turned the corner
springing upon the sidewalk.
In front of one of the residences a
short distance from the corner little
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Neal Wilson.
was seated on the pavement in small
rocking chair. There seemed to be no
help for the child as the horse dashed
along and everyone thought that the
tot would be trampled underfoot.
1t escaped the horse, however, only
to be struck by the scraper. There was
cry of dismay from those near enough
to see. but too far away to render as
sistance, as the little rocking chair
was violently thrown in one direction
and the child rolled in another.
Half dozen persons ran to the lit
tie one and found that it was practi-
cally uninjured. The scraper luckily
did not strike the child but came in
contact with the chair alone.

VIII Furnish Brick To Orphanage

the Odd Fellows orphanage near Sun
bury. The work of shipping began
Tuesday.
Mr.. Keim is operating all four of
his yards, the combined product being
l5, 900 brick daily He has thirty -four
men employed.
Mr.. Keim's brick are hand made,
which seems to be preferred over the
machine made brick which are little
too rough to suit the tastes of many
people. The only disadvantage which
Mr.. Keim suffers is the advance in
freight rates, which cuts into his
profits considerably.

Commissioners VIII Order Tags.

y variety of specimen tags relating
to the new act which provides that
all dogs assessed wear a tag upon their
collars, has arrived at the court house
and is being carefully looked over by
the county commissioners preparatory
to ordering consignment to be used
in carrying out the provisions of the
act.
One of the county commissioners
Yesterday was authority for the state
ment that the new law now in force
will be complied with in this county.
There has been little delay, it is
true, but it will not be long until the
tags arrive.
The tags ordered will then be dis
tributed among the tax collectors, who
will give one to each owner of a dog
which has been assessed. The law re-
quires that all dogs not assessed, shall
be killed The unfortunate ours for
whom no tax is being paid will easily
be recognized owing to the absence of
a tag and they will have no chance to
escape.
1t is,a notorious fact that probably
two thirds of the dogs of this town
have escaped the assessor and the new
law is designed to bring relief to COM
munities where such Irregularities ex.
ist.
The specimen tags are of thin metal
not much larger round than nickel.
They bear the name of the county and
the following form of receipts; "Dog
