AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated to al
Washngton's Home.

The diary of Manasse Cutler, the
founder of Ohio and the author of the
ordinance of 1891, gives an account OF
visit he made to Mount Vernon
two years after General Washington's
death We say General Washing
ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing
ton was pleased to call him-a copy for
all those good women whose husbands
have won them honor on the field Of
war.
Mr.. Cutler says it was the desire OF
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
in time for breakfast G O'clock with
Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
and worse horses detained them. so
they did not reach there until about
10, which Mrs. Washington regretted.
but she said, breakfast would be
ready in a few minutes" The diary
goes on to say:
''In a short time she arose and desired
US to walk into another room, where a
table was elegantly spread with ham,
cold corned beef, cold fowl, red her
ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna-
mented with sprigs of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. AT
the head of the table was the tea and
coffee equipage, where she seated her.
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
company"
The point Of interest IS that break
fast menu-fve kinds of meat decked
with sprigs of parsley and accompa-
MED with divers vegetables. Isn't
there an appetizing array and doesn't
the heart long for just such a scene?
OF course the mere feeders. the fel-
lows that banker for hot things, may
not think so, but the very mention of
cold ham. cold chicken. cold mutton
and cold corned beef all in the same
breath is an appeal TO 4 conscientious
appetite that is unresistiug. And that
was a breakfast of the long ago.

Horse FELL
INTO CELLAR

a horse belonging to Thomas Jones
Ferry street, Monady afternoon fell
into an opening leading into the eel
lar of the Opera House building, and
the resulting incidents for while
furnished excitement for the neighbor-
hood
The horse had just been unhitcLed
and was left to stand in the alley in
the rear of the opera house while the
wagon was taken into the stable The
animal was near the opening into the
cellar Several steps backward and she
went rear foremost down the steps,
bringing up with a thud against the
bolted doors There the horse lay help
less, and those who were attracted to
the scene could do nothing for while
to either get the animal back into the
alley or open the bolts of the door.
1t was finally decided to force the
door, which was accomplished with a
battering ram. When the door gave
way the horse turned q complete SOM
erset, landing on its back i'll the Gel
lar in pile Of scrap iron.
The horse was induced to lie still
while the debris was removed, when
she arose without much trouble. a
lead way was made and she was tax
en- from the cellar without accident.
Strange to say the animal sustained
no more serious injury than couple
of insignificant scratches.

THE TRUE
HAPPINESS

The sick think if they had health
nothing else would matter. The hard
working man thinks if he had leisure
he would be content But happiness
is not the prerogative of any class of
people or station in life. Bernard
Shaw says in one of his plays that
'the man with the toothache thinks
every man happy whose teeth are
sound, and the poverty-stricken man
makes the same mistake about the rich
man.
So it is with most things. One al.
ways feels that the thing he doesn't t
possess or the thing he can't do is the
one thing essential to his happiness
But the things which really go to
make for happiness are numerous and
varied, for no two people think or feel
alike. If there is one thing more than
all others that helps to smooth the
rough places it is temperament. The
man or woman who is inclined to look
on the bright side, who is confident
that.clouds have a silver lining, and
who realizes that life is only a game
to be played to the best of ones abil-
ity, is bound to be happier than one
who Is always expecting the worst, or
who, because the sky is clouded, is
sure that the sun will never shine
again.
The important question is; Can the
cheerful attitude be acquired or is it
one of the gifts OF the gods and be.
slowed on only favored few? No
doubt some are gifted with happier
and more cheerful temperament than
others. It seems to be natural for some
to be morose, while others are natural.
ly sunny. But this is no reason Why
the melancholy one can't change his
point of view There are always two
ways OF looking at every question. and

Is largely a matter of habit 1t is easy
to see the best as it is to see the worst

THE REGULARS
HBRB DRENCHED

The mettle Of the regulars in Bat
terry D, Third Field Artillery, who
were encamped on the banks of Penn's
creek, near Selinsgrove, was tried to
the utmost Tuesday evening by the
storm which deluged this section of
the country for three hours.
In binding sheets the rain came
down on the dog tents pitched on the
shores of the streams, and they provid.
ed but little protection from the ele-
ments
AT daybreak, yesterday morning,
however, the artillerymen broke camp,
and again took up their journey south
ward. They fortunately are on a fair
stretch OF highway now; with their
heavy guns, they would be unable to
pass over some Of the roads in this
vicinity in their present condition.
The people of Sunbury were greatly
disappointed by the coming Of the
storm Tuesday evening. Many of them
bad intended to visit the encampment
A few people went to Selinsgrove in
the afternoon, but the great majority
waited until evening. Then the heavy
rain made travel impossible.
The soldiers were begrimed with
dust and dirt when they arrived at
Selinsgrove Tuesday. From now on,
however, their journey will be less
difficult. They are making the trip to
Fort Myers. Virginia, in easy stages,
and will arrive there in about ten
days at their present rate.

MAN SUICIDES
At TURBOTVILLE

Peter Kisner committed suicide by
hanging in the barn Of the Eagle hot
ell at Turbotville probably some time
during Sunday morning. His shock
ing fate was not discovered until his
body was found Monday morning by
boy,
Kisner was man about SO years OF
age, we'll known in that section where
he has several brothers. He was a
lumberman and worked in the lumber
camps to the north. About two weeks
ago he came to Turbotville to spend a
vacation, stopping at the Eagle hotel,
of which Frank Ellis, formerly OF Ex-
change, is the proprietor.
Kisner was last seen about the place
Sunday morning, and seemed TO be in
his usual health and spirits and in
nowise downcast When he failed to
turn up for dinner no attention was
paid to his absence as he frequently
was away for time and would return.
Monday morning Randall Ellis, sou
of Landlord Frank Ellis, was at the
barn and had occasion to 60 up stairs
to the oat bin. At the door to the bin
the gruesome sight of the man 5 body
greeted his eyes, hanging from a rope
tied to one of the rafters.

WHEAT THRASHING
NEARLY DONE

Last week saw the finishing touches
put on the housing of a big wheat
crop in this section. The cutting of
the grain was practically completed
during week before last, and last week
the farmers were busy with their
thrashing.
The majority of the agriculturalists
now have their crop safely under roof,
and one of the worries of the rural
resident is over. The wheat was a
big crop in this section this year The
other good crop this summer is the
hay, which is now nearly all made.
The same conditions which made for
a good yield of wheat and hay-wet

Vegetation was quick to respond to
