One of the best written, best eX-
pressed, best presented musical come
dies to visit Bookings this season will
be 1.-TWO Merry Tramps," that jolly,
iingling, musical tom-foolry, with the
past reputation is a guarantee that
the play is not one of the ordinary
melodramatic plays with a short cast,
but is strictly a musical comedy which
contains seventeen original musical
numbers and everyone of the whist
ling kind. %, So, so and 75c.

Dreams His Way Out of Mine.
Imprisoned Man Finds Outlet lust as II Ap
peared in Sleep.

While imprisoned by fall of
coal at the West Schuylkil colliery,
Pottsville on Tuesday, David Moy-
er fell asleep and dreamed he saw a
man-hole by which he could escape
to the surface. When he awoke he
succeeded in finding the man-hole,
which had been abandoned so long
ago that it was forgotten, and while
efforts were being made to osrescue
him he surprised the rescuers by
suddenly appearing in their midst.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the imprisoned person ever
knew of the man-hole by which he
made his escape. If so, to what
extent his knowledge went-wheth-
er personal or by hearsay and de-
scription.

Kitchen Discoveries.
Valuable Helps from the May Numbers Of
Farm and Firesids

To rid a place of red ants, grease
plate with lard, and set it over
night where the ants are trouble
some. Place three or four sticks
leading up to the plate, so that they
can get to it easily. In the morn-
ing the plate will be covered with
the ants. They may be killed by
inmersing the plate i'll hot water.
To keep an egg several days
while using it for coffee, use all egg
cup with the small end up. Set
the egg i'll the cup and break a
small hole in it. Use a little of the
egg at a time, as a little will clear
the coffee as we'll as half an egg.
An egg may be kept good three or
four days in this way.
Keep a box or bag in the kitchen
for scraps Of clean rags and cut
tings from sewing or mending.
These rags will serve a double pur-
pose. They may be used to wipe
of greasy plates from each meal,
and all greasy cooking utensils be-
fore they are put in the dish water.
This saves a lot of greasy dish wa
ter. which is runous TO the hands.
Then, after using, the rags may be
thrown into the stove. This helps
the fire along.
Painted furniture and floors can
be made to look as. bright as new if
they are occasionally washed with
skim milk or milk and water. ii
the milk is slightly sour, but not
at all thickened, it will add to the
Frightening process. Care should
be taken never to wash painted fur
niture with soap, as it dulls it and
takes away the new, shiny look.
Oicloth may be made to last
much longer by an occasional rub
with a mixture of beeswax and tur-
pentine.
Paint which the painters always
seem to spatter OH window glass
can be removed by rubbing it well
with hot, sharp vinegar.
After ironing linen, place it near
good fire or in the heat of the
sun until perfectly dry, as the gar
ineuts will then be made sitter than
if allowed to dry slowly. If the
linen is a bit scorched, wet it with
cold water and hang it i'll the sun.
An excellent thing for the laun-
dry is the following mixture: Take
two ounces of fine white gum-ara-
bic powder, put it in pitcher, and
pour on a pint of boiling water;
cover tight. and let it stand over
night. In the morning strain, bot
tie, and cork. A tablespoonful of
this stirred into a pint of starch
made in the usual way will give a
new look to the clothes.

Forests asIBig as a State.
Pennsylvania Proud Of Her Progress in
Saving Trees.

The annual convention of the
Pennsylvania Forestry Association
met Tuesday evening in Thompson
Hall, at Wilson College, Chambers
burg, with a goodly number pres.
ent. J. D. Ludwig and Presiden,
M. H. Reaser. of Wilson College,
welcomed the association.
President John Birkenbine, OF
Philadelphia, made his annual adj
dress, reviewed the work Of the as
sociation and said this State now
owned forest lands of an area equal
to the State of Rhode Island. Penn
sylvania leads all the States in for
estry preservation.
In 1900 the forest fire losses were
1894, 900, but in 1906 they were
cnly $40, 900.
S. B. Elliott, of the State Forest
ry Preservation Commission, read
a paper on what constitutes practi-
cal forestry, and Alfred Gaskill,
forester and secretary of the State
Commission, of New Jersey, had a
paper on paid State service.
State Commissioner Robert Conk-
lin read letter from Governor Stu
art, in which the work of the asso-
citation was commended and sug-
gestions were made.
1t is to be hoped that all the bare
hillsides in Pennsylvania will soon
be covered with growing timber
trees. When the farmer cuts down
one tree he should plant two in
some unoccupied space where it
might be undisturbed for fifty
years.

MANY BLACK BASS.
Fishing Season Opens on June 18th.

Local anglers feel convinced that
the fishing season, which opens on
June 18th, will be one of the best
in many years. Bass are in evil
dence i'll large numbers and they
have never been livelier nor more
aggressive in the pursuit of food.
1t is rare sport, indeed, to stand OH
shore and watch the big bass splash
ing around in the shallow water.
1t is no unusual thing for them to
follow a school of minnows to the
very edge Of the stream where the
struggle between the big fish and
the little ones may be observed at
close range. To escape the vorac-
ious jaws of the bass the minnows
have been observed to leap out onto
the land.
Along with black bass, Susque-
banna salmon, pickerel, perch. rock
bass and sunish come in next Mon
day. 1t seems to be the opinion
that each of the above varieties,
like bass. will be found to be very
plentiful.
There are a few things to remem-
Der in connection with the opening
of the fishing season.
The above named varieties of fish
which come in OH the 18th inst. i,
being game fish, may be taken only
with rod, hook and line or hand
line. The taking of any of these
fish with a seine, in a net or fish
basket, or with a spear or a gig, or
by drawing off the water renders
the person taking them liable to a
penalty for each fish so illegally
taken and in default of the pay
ment thereof to an Imprisonment of
one day for each dollar of penalty
imposed.
Catfish, carp, suckers and eels
may be taken in fish basket wit II
wing-walls.
No rock bass less than five inch
es or black bass less than seven
inches may be taken in Pennsylva-
MIA

Rich Mems Sons
Are Not All Proaigates and Spendthrifts.

When one reads almost daily of
the uselessness, the follies. the es-
capades, the wickedness, waste and
ruin of young men who have inher-
tied great wealth or have rich par
ents, we wonder sometimes if there
are any rich young men, who would
not have been much better off in
some ways, and of greater helpful
ness to the world, if they had been
poor, or forced to earn their living.
But there are exceptions. There is
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., George
Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt and
quite a number we do not at the
moment recall. Among the latter,
the most prominent is Peter Cooper
Hewitt, Of New York, a million

wanted to he could do nothing but
rest. But he isn't that kind of a
millionaire. He works from early
to late, and complains about the
shortness of time. He spends his
time in overalls, at his workshop,
designing, thinking, inventing and
getting results. He is fast becom-
ing one of the master inventors of
the age. His most recent inven-
tions are the mercury-vapor lamp.
the static converter and new styi-
ed eight-cylinder motor. The mer-

light known. Mr.. Hewitt believes
when the eight-cylinder motor is
applied to big ships it will bring
Liverpool within thirty hours Of
New York.
