YEARLY MEETING
OF COMPANY F

The members of Company f, 18th
regiment, N. g. p, will report at the
armory on Thursday evening at 8
O'Clock for the purpose of electing
civil officers of the company for the
ensuing year.
The civil offices in company of the
national guard consist of that of presl-
dent (filled by the captain). secretary,
treasurer and board of control, the
latter consisting of four enlisted men
and commissioned officer, the cap
tain of the company being an ex-officio
III Nr
The meeting Thursday night will be
the yearly meeting, when, in addition
to the offices filed by election, the cap
tain will appoinJ recruiting commit
tee, to consist of not less than three,
and court of appeals to consist of
five.
The date of inspection is ON Feb
ruary 9th. 1t is perfectly patent to
most persons. even to the members
themselves. that in the month inter-
vening there will have to be some
pretty hard work done in the way of
drilling, if the company is to make a
creditable showing at inspection. AT
! the recent meetings the attendance has
been absurdly small. Tie enlisted men
will have to rouse fresh interest and
turn out in large numbers or the best
efforts of the commanding officer will
go for naught
The next inspection, it is under
stood. will be pretty rigid and it is
qnite clear that the future of the
company will in no small degree de-
pend upon the showing then made.
All the State property must be turned
in or accounted for by the time Of in
spection.

Prohibit Hunting With Dogs.

Sportsmen throughout the State will
learn with considerable apprehension
and many of them with indignation
that an effort is being made upon the
part of the State game commission to
prohibit hunting with dogs in Penn
sylvania.
Game Warden John Kelly, of Sha-
mokin, has returned from Harrisburg,
where he attended meeting of the
commission and he informed newspap-
er representatives that it is the pur-
pose of the commission to exert every
influence to have the next legislature
pass a law, making it illegal for man
to take a dog into the woods.
The prime object of this law will
be the protection Of game. and il it is
passed any dogs found in the woods at
any time of the year, in season or out
will be shot by the wardens.
There is no doubt that strenuous op-
position will be shown the passage of
such a measure by the thousands of
hunters in the State. Many contend
that there is no sport in hunting un-
less dog accompanies the party, and
they will fight the commission in this
respect to the last ditch.

Problem of Fx- Presidents

Problem OF / tX-FreSldSatS-
Grover Cleveland has revived dis
-~cussiou of the old question that mas
=aaaeyer been ansWeied. What shall we
do with our ex-Presidents?" Tie sug-
>1gests that some provision be made for
their support after their retirement
from office in order that they may be
enabled to live in style and manner In
~cousonnsnce with the diguity of their
nosition As former presidents of the
United States. There is much to be
Ssaid on h ,th sides of the question'an
il is hard to arrive at just conclu-
sion. Que not influenced or shaped by
prejudice.
Presidents of the United States are
almost the poorest paid heads OF gov
ernments Their salary is fifty thou
sand dollars a year while the presl-
deut of France, for instance, receives
one hundred and twenty thousand
vear. with additions that virtually
make their income several times that
of American presidents. The low sal
ary of the latter lifts the office above
ordinary scrambling for place or the
money that is in it. Not long ago Il
SALARY of fifty thousand dollars year
was rated as magnificent, but 1t IS mt
tie enough when compared with sal
aries of hundred thousand or more
that are received by heads of corpora
tions.
Again, the president of the United
States is not supposed, according TO
popular prejudice. to save any OF MS
salary. That is nonsensical, but 1t IS
true nevertheless. Why there would
be auy prejudice against the frugal
saving of part of the presidential sal
ary masses all comprehension, but 1t is
there and it seems ineradicable. Con-
yincing evidence to this effect was aa-
duced almost daily some years ago,
when president was derided LOT ms
alleged thriftiness. Somehow, Amerl-
= cans love to hear that their puoilc
servants leave office no richer than
they entered, and are vastly pleased
at learning that they are actually poor
ar than when their term of service be-
gan.
This prejudice, or whatever 1t may
be called will stand in the way OF IN
creasing the presidential salary or pro
viding an annuity for ex-presidents.

The Olimate of A ber,a.


Through the courtesy of W. Fl. Lat
timere we have been permitted to per
use copy of the Morning Ablertan"
printed at Calgary on January 3rd.
1908, which opens up sort of revels-
tion as to climatic conditions in that
far northwest territory.
Although farther north than Win
nipeg and Manitoba the province Of
Alberta has nothing in common with
the rigorous winter weather of the
two above named provinG
1t is seldom that base ball or cricket
is not played in Calgary on New
Years day or Christmas, and the issue
of the "Albertan" alluded to above,
produces couple of scenes of the
great international heavy weight base
ball game played in Calgary on We'd
nesday of last week, New Years day.
There have been very few days since
! November lst when base ball conld
not be played in Calgary with comfort
aud the present year is no exception
| TO the rule. At seven p M on Jan.
nary end, the coldest part of the day,
the Thermometer registered at 3S de.
grees. At midday mercury rose above
90 degrees.
A feature of the climate of Western
| Canada is the mild Alberta winter.
The explanation of the phenomenon
| lies in the fact that Alberta, which
I lies asst east of the high rocky noun.
tains, is sheltered by that range, while
the climate is tempered by warm
westerly wind known as the chinook,
which rolls down over the top of the

Leap Year,


1t is mistake to suppose that leap
year increases the number of mar
riages. In olden times it was tn
privilege of women who had failed to
win husbands to propose to men in
leap year, but the custom long ago
died out Today the modest maidens
take no interest in leap year, for those
of them who want to get married do
not have to wait for the year which
is divisible by four TO secure u hus-
band. Instead OF taking advantage of
leap year to get a husband maidens
will prove shyer than ever, because
they do not wish people to think that
they did the proposing.
OF course there are some old maid
who will hope that the fear that they
may ask the men TO marry them will
cause these men to propose in leap
year but as general rule the girl
who is marriageable i'll not employ
unusual methods to induce her lover
to fall at her feet and declare his pas
sion. And it may be said that if a
girl wants a man to propose to her she
will lind means in any year to bring
about that desired end without letting
her We've mean. her gentleman
friend-know that she is angling for
the right to put her feet under his
table. Leap year need have no terror
for the man who keeps his wits about

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Bear In Ice.

A miner in Alaska made q strange
discovery not long ago He found a
cave In the side OF a mountain and en-
tered it for exploration. The mouth of
the cave was small. the sides being Of
granite. Just beyond the entrance was
a solid ice chamber. from the ceiling Of
which were hanging hundreds of ice
stalactites. The rays from the miners
lamp made these stalactiteS glisten like
FURNISHED silver. and the effect was
wonderfully beautiful. 1t was like a
fairy palace. but the miners admira-
ton suddenly turned to alarm. for at
one side of the chamber he saw a great
black bear sitting partly upright. Be
ing unarmed. except with an ak. the
man determined to leave the bear in
undiSturbed possession when some
thing in the appearance Of the brute
arrested his attention.. and he then saw
that it was dead--froZen solid in big
block of ice He strNck the block of
ice with his AK. and part of it fell
away. carrying one of the bears fore
legs with it. When he picked up the
ice 1t crumbled like rotten wood.
