Delta Peaches at Solida.

This office acknowledges the receipt
Of samples Of some monster Elberta
peaches sent to c. II. Perkins of Salida
by his friend, William Milton, who is a
fruit grower at Delta. The peaches
far excel anything that appears on the
Salida market in size, color and flavor.
II Delta can raise such peaches as these
in the face of the disastrous frost OF
last spring. it causes us to speculate as
to what can be done under normal con-
ditions. -Salida Record.

On Sunday evening the choir

Some Evening Reveries.

OF the next generation, and the ba,
mothers are building the prisons
For out of families nations ar
made; and if the father be the heat
and the hands of the family, tn,
mother is the heart. No office il
the world is so honorable as hers
no priesthood SO holy, no influence
SO sweet and strong and lasting
Unselfish love is the mother!
Cheerful obedience in the children
In whatever home these forces arr
constantly operatives, that home
cannot be a failure. And mother.
love is not of the right kind, nor OF
the highest trend, unless it compels
this obedience. The assertion that
affectionate firmness and even
wholesome chastisement is unneces-
sary with our advanced civilization.
isa specious and dangerous one. The
children Of today have as many
rudimentary vices as they had in
the days of the patriarchs; as a
general thing they are self willed
and inclined to evil from their
cradles; geedy without a blush,
and ready to lie as soon as they
discover the use of language. A
good mother does not shut her
eyes to these facts; she accepts her
child as imperfect, and trains it
with ver-ceasing love and care
for it's highest duties. She does
not call impertinence 'smartness,
nor insubordination high spirit"
nor selfshness knowing how to
take care of itself" " nor lying and
dishonesty sharpness.
=
Let us not. wait for chances for
doing good to come to u.s. but to go
out to meet them. ] fs.Too many
beautiful opportunities escape US
otherwise. AS charity begins at
nome, so should love. We don't
ARE much for either the charity or
owe that would leave it's nearest to
want for duty or affection, and go

ny ,homefolks happy about some
me thing each day of our life
'lan little surprises for their de-
light, do little deeds for them,
brighten a dull hour, or congratu-
ate them upon some achievement of |
heir own.
Of one thing we are certain, we
re too chary of our commendatins,
30 stingy of our praise, and, alas!
20 lavish of our blame. Thoughts
re things" p" and words, IF true, are
1eir manifestations. How often
ave we thought favorably of many
lings, yet said no word. For all
lch sins of omission we must ever
lffer deep regret. How easy it

That is so beautiful" or How

We think of things like these {

KILLED A WHITE DEER.
Pike County WOodsmen Wondering II
Rad Luck VIII Como to Mexican.

MILFORD, Pa, Dec. 26.--George G.
McKean shot white buck near his home
in McKean Valley. along the Shohola. In
the hunting season just closed. and the
old time native hunters who cling TO the
superstition that killing a white deer will
surely bring bad luck are wondering
what Yill happen to him. This is the
fourth white deer Of which there is rec
ord hereabouts.
First, james Van Gorden shot in the
Lackawaxen country the first white deer
OF the Pike county record. 1t was largo
doe. The chronicle says: at was his last
shot. A wasting disease attacked him
and not long afterward he died
Years after that Joseph Brink, Ala
manor Griswold and William Westfali
were hunting together. In the hunt
white deer was killed. Westfall always
declared that it was Joseph Drinks shot
that killed II. At any rate Brink. who
was q robust man at the time Of the hunt,
was dead Of what the natives called hasty
consumption three months later.
AlaInanzor Griswold was subsequently
killed by the upsetting Of a wagonload OF
stone. The killing OF the white deer
seemed TO have no damaging, effect on
WttAbil, AhtCi, tluNthk ioiO"NN
trail Of another white deer and shot az e
several times without success. he guided
q hunting party consisting. Of Hornbeck
Simmer and Henry Frank OF WilkesparIe.
Pa, and Lyman Bevan OF Port Jervis.
MY. to Its retreat In the Paupac country.
All three OF these hunters got shot at the
White deer and killed 1t.
Sinner was q prosperous hotel keeper
In Wilkesbarre and Frank q rich coal
operator and Bevan a leading merchant
In Port Jervis. Sinner lost his fortune
and died Q miserable death. and his grave
was robbed Of his body by resurrection,
ists, Frank become bankrupt and died
Of smallpox. Beyan failed In business
and committed suicide. Westfall died or
starvation owing 10 an ailment that pre-
vented him from taking food.
These misfortunes and fatalities ara
attributed 70 the killing Of the white deer
by the old Pike county woodsmen and they
sse the future holding hard fate for George
McKean He. however. is not disturbed
over the prospect. -. ,,,
