have been easily impressed, since the
only specimen l remember was the
statement that Carlyle was bear,

by the principal of the high school.
Even now l should consider him

cosely, that after visitors had seen
the new court house, they were al
ways made to wait until she passed,
before any one would show them the

she never disappointed the fondest
anticipations, except during one sad

only bloomed the richer.
The persons mentioned were all
conspicuous members of the local

medicine, were the open sesame. The

chiefly to business and some few to
politics; the women to their homes
and their churches, which last regu-

their religious activities.
Recreations of Other Days.
For the recreation of our elders
there was always a great deal of
driving. 1t was possible to keep a
carriage on an income that would
not suffice for that alone in the met
ropolis. The carriage roads were
and still are excellent and the coun-
try charming, with here and there a
stately old manor house for historic
atmosphere. Even then the mount
aims were frequently resorted to. Now
they are easily accessible, and boast
not only numerous hotels, but many
cottages to which the more fortunate
go back and forth daily In summer.
To my boyhood the mountains rep
resented not only untamed nature,
but their hotels were outposts of the
great world beyond. The mountains
represented history also, for on the
side of one was battlefield, marked
with huge cairn of stones, and they
meant literature, as WELL for in one
of the gaps was the home of an au-
thor whose novels and poems were in
the town library.
With us young people bicycles

But the simple attractions of the
place palled on our travelled guests,
and the occasion began to look like a
failure until, in the evening, the en-
tertainment committee got together
and started false alarm of fire,
which allowed the visitors to pull the
hand apparatus of the local fire com
panies madly about the streets. until
their superabundant energies were
exhausted and they went to bed con-
tent.

NEGRO MURDERER HUNG.

Easton Especially William Han
dy, a South Carolina negro, was
hanged here for a murder of Police
man Shuman. of South Bethlehem,
last summer. Handy declared to the
last that he did not remember having
shot the officer.
After the shooting, the negro, who
was drunk, went to sleep In a lumber
yard near the scene OF the crime and
was found there a few hours later.
Handy is known to have shot a de-
tective In New York some years ago.
There we're no unusual incident
at the execution. Handy being in
different to his fate to the last. He
would not accept the consolation of
a spiritual adviser, preferring TO

MAD SCRAMBLE FOR LIFE.

Mahanoy City Especially Crowd
ed with passengers, mostly miners
on their way to work, a Schuylkill
traction car stuck in the snow on
the Reading crossing here just as the
early Philadelphia express swept into
view.
There was mad scramble among
the passengers, doors and windows
being torn loose, from which the
men jumped or we're pushed with
irresistible force. With but few
moments to spare and the car only
half empty. the motorman heroically
stuck to his post, succeeding in
starting the car out of danger as the
train rushed by. Several of the men
were so scared that they refused to
go to work.

now men, those 1 had known as ma
ture were old now. The fine old
clergyman who for years had led in
every movement for things of good
report now saw much of his seed
bring forth abundantly, and he had
the personal satisfaction of knowing
that his youngest son had won dis
tinction as the first Rhodes scholar
from his State. The one local artist,
landscape painter. still pursued
with modest determination his hon.
est, If undistinguished, toll. The old
florist was still the finest of idealists
in his devotion to nature, irrespective
of worldly considerations. l was
happy to note that he seemed to have
prospered materially, in spite of his
fondness for giving and his distaste
for selling his flowers.
One or two old men / had known
regaled me with memories of "the
Rebellion" and of the installation of
the town water works. But most of
my familiars of that generation had
passed away. The two old admirals
who had so strangely chosen such an
inland berth for their final cruise,
the old doctor who urged his horse
by explosively uttering the words ''ef-
fervescent" and fundamental" the
little old librarian with his fondness
for Josephus, and the sadly wheezy
conductor of "The Madrigal Club
even the decayed old gentlewoman
who wore different col0rad wiQa m
suit her gowns-all were now gone.
But, in spite of many such abb
sences, and of some sadder memories,
my visit was one of profound and
lasting pleasure. l did not mind the
omniscient small town scrutiny,
which somehow apprised my friends
OF all l had been doing, even before
l called. And I found the whole
place full of the most delightful lit
/ tie interests, even for one who had
so little of "the restless analyst"
about him. From the point of view
of contrasting the residential values
of capital and province. the advan-
tages of the old town are, perhaps,
largely OF negative character. But
all the essentials of life are there, al.
though in little, and success being SO
much less difficult, and failure SO
much less disastrous, the balance OF
vitality left over is satisfyingly large.
II was not at all a bad place to spend
ones youth. and It would be by no
means bad setting for ones old age.
