Pumpkin Pie.

Some ~low-browed, pessimistical sta.

that pumpkins are growing scarcer
year by year. This means, of course,

gone. Some time ago the great prob.
lem was "Shall we open the minis to

the question Of "How to be happy

monwealth. Now we are up against
the real thing, If we may be allowed
the slang Of common parlance,-"Is
the pumpkin pie to become obsolete?"
Perish the thought! How we have
reveled in the luscious pumpkin slice!
It recalls the halcyon days, the days
of aspiration and faith, before the

ted to kill under the game laws.
Cromister is past 70 years Of age.
He and his aged wife live alone on a
small farm, their house being nearly
two miles away from the nearest
neighbor, while just beyond their
place begins the wild wooded scope
that extends far away into southeast
ern Tioga county, embracing the
famous Blockhouse and Nauvoo hunt
ing territory. Cromister hasEbeen a
hunter and trapper all his life, and has
many a nick in the butt of his old
fashioned rife to show the number Of
deer and bear slain. He Is still a sure
shot, despite his years.
About two. months ago. he read in
his county newspaper that a farmer
in the Nauvoo country had been ar
rested. and fined $50 under the provis.
ions of theynew game law for killing a
black bear. This bear was believed to
be one that had killed two sheepgbe-

as the farmer had no proof Of identi-
fication he could not have the fine re-

know that the law permits the killing
of thieving bears when caught upon
the premises.
Three weeks ago, one night, the
Cromisters were awakened by the loud
barking of their dog, which was
ipaiped to a kennel in the yard. The
old man, lighting a lantern, went down
to investigate, and found that a fam

The One Chance
The man we need today is he
Who sticks through rain sun,
The one who fights the bitter fight
Until the prize is won.
The secret of success is this:
Be always insthe race
When Opportunity, my lad,
Comes shopping round the place!
Don't start "a thing with whoop and
whir
And push it like a streak,
To dwindle! down and, quit the game
The next day night a week.
1t may be just the hour you leave
That Luck will show her face
And Opportunity, my lat
Comes shopping round the place!
When you begin a task that's big,
Don't chase a BUTTERFLY.
Keep doing what you planned to do,
Until the harvest's by.
You won't amount to beans, a hill,
If you neglect the race
And Opportunity, my boy,
Just passes by your place!
For once she goes, she ne'er returns-
At least this is the, claim.
Don't be out chasing butterflies,
When she calls out your name.
Remember, she will call no more,
Nor leave a single clew,
If once she finds you not at home
When she has raped for you!

 The columns of newspaper are no place to air personal grievances. When newspaper publisher indulges in or allows any one else to indulge in dirty little insinuations and petty per sonalities through the columns of his paper, he is disgrace to his calling and sooner or later he will bring upon himself and his paper the condemna- ton of all fair minded people. as both of the Memphis papers have done.
 Envy is one of the most consuming sins a person ever indulges in and it Is a pity that newspaper man, above any one else, should ever allow il to take hold of him. For, with the newspaper, as with every other per- son or persons who indulges in it, if in time saps away all vitality and use fitness If a newspaper man con not stand to see his competitor prosper and enjoy the fruits of toll an energy that narrow minded man had better get out Of the business and join the "uhittlers club" for his competitor is sure to out strip him

Of tho many curious and famous rocks found along the ten-mile length of the Wis. sahickon drive none is more promi. nent than the Sphinx-like projection near the mouth of the creek, near the spot where 1t empties into the Schuyl- kNl.

On June 10th the board Of Mayor and Aldermen of Lebanon, Tenn. passed an anti-jug law, which, while it does not in terms prohibit the im- portation of liquor into the corporate limits of the town. is designed 10 ac- complish the purpose along other lines that of stringent regulation. There has been much doubt as to the constitutionality of laws passed by oth- CT towns oa this subject, but the orci- nance as passed by the Lebanon council is said to be beyond any doubt as to its constitutionality. It was drawn by Attorney-General Walter Faulkner and pr. Andrew B. Martin of the Lebanon Law School.
 The law provides that any firm, in dividual or corporation, who shall i'm. port any intoxicating liquors into Le banon, must have same registered a the city recorders office. and pa, thereon tax of $l.OO before it car be taken out; that the express agen shall report to the city recorder thu names of both consignee and consign or of every package shipped to sai' town. and penalties are provided for violation of the ordinance.

 Some time ago Editor Adams made bitter attack upon the Police Department of the city. charging Chief of Police Frank Clancy and Sergeant Ruwane with gross incom- potency. As result Adams was at- tackled by the two officers separately, but the editor was victorious in both encounters. Clancy afterward at tempted suicide. So strong was thefeel ing over the affair that mass meeting was held and wholesale resignation' were demanded. The entire police force, officers and men, resigned a that time.
