APPLICATIONS IN
NORTHUMBERLAND

All the applications for liquor Ii
censes in Northumberland county have
been filed in the prothonotary' office
at Sunbury, and the number is 463.
Shamokin is in evidence with about
100 of the applications to her credit.
while Mt. Carmel, not to be outdone,
asks for 105 licensed places. Sunbury
is pridins hersolf that hor oitinens
have asked for only 1S licenses, or one
for about every 800 inhabitants.
Shamokin, Mt. Carmel and the ad-
joining townships have about nine
tenths of the licenses in Northumber-
land county. In some localities there
is saloon for every forty men, and all
seem to re making prosperous liveli-

found in this for the fact that the
miners are always desiring higher
wages, aud that ne-tenths of North

Burden gasped For the first time

She had mistaken him for day work

Are We a Courteous Peoples

Are we as Americans as courteous
In all our relations of life as well dis
posed visitors occasionally think us?
Are we as courteous as mixed blood,
equitable laws and prevailing senti-
ment of self respect might be reason
ably expected to make us? Do we not
sometimes confound issues, confuse
disinterestedness with politeness and
believe that because good breeding
comes from the heart all good hearted
people are consequently well bred?
Yet there are men and women who
stand ever ready to help their fellow
creatures and who are seldom or ever
polite to them. DIR. Johnson was one
of the kindest of men, but of that
courtesy which respects the feelings as
well as the rights of others he had nev-
er. the faintest perception. Now, what
harm does it do man to contradict
him?" he used to say, and contradic-
ton was the guiding principle of his
talk. 1t is a guiding principle with
people of much less intelligence today
and it gives to conversation a rough
acerbity, destructive alike of pleasure
and persuasiveness. 1t is supposed to
be masculine prerogative, but like
other masculine prerogatlves, has been
usurped by an advance guard of wom-
en.-DelineatOr.

theater and formed the habit of drop

Then came the panic, and for a week
many firms fate hung in the balance.
The one In which Burden was a part
ner was persistently included in the
list of the doubtful concerns, and then
one afternoon the late editions came
out with the statement that the house
had been forced to suspend.
Lois read the report feverlshly, but
when Burden came home late that
night and wearily began to ascend the
steps she was at the head of the flight
to welcome him, calm eyed and quiet.

him working until 8 O'Clock, but she
was generous when she paid him off.
Burden waited on the landing until
she closed the door; then he ran up
stairs to his own rooms and tumbled
into the tub. 1t had been hard work
and hot, and he was glad of the chance
to clean up. He had risen at for a
fishing trip and had made a long day,
but he thought he would dress again

a bite.

face to face with the girl. She recog-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they canno

There is only one way to cule deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken ont and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed condi-
