A Remarkable Wagon.

J. B. Boyer of Sohola township, Pike
county, Pennsylvania, has a farm wa
gon the woodwork of which he built
himself in 1868 in a wagon shop in
Barryvi1le, N. Y, in which he was a n
apprentice. Mr. Boyer did all the wood
work on the wagon by lamplight,
sawed the hubs, split and hewed every
spoke, felloe and axle. Purchasing a
farm in Shohola township the same
year, Mr.. Boyer took his wagon with
him to the farm and has used it con-
stantly ever since. He has had
the tires set or a dollars worth of re-
pair done to it, and to all appearance
it Is good for another century. Aside
from good workmanship and material
the secret of it's lasting qualities ia
due to the fact that it has always been
housed when not in use.

TWO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE.
Doing Real Work Well, and Love, Says
This Writer.

On this gloomy day, beginning with
a %troublous morning a spirit of content
grows upon me. Perhaps it is because
l rescued those half-burned notes, but
somehow it comes to me with renewed
force that two of the great things in
life are real work-that is worth the
doing-and love. To this add opti-
mism, a reasonable and eager hope,
and you have certainly the ingredients
for happiness. There is a spirit of wor-
ship in work, recognized by the monks
long ago in their proverb, Work is
prayer" The same spirit exists in true
love, that impels us to high ideals,
and calls out the best, the truest, the
noblest sentiments we possess. 1--WE
needs must love the highest when we
see it." Real joy and happiness often
exist in the WEAKNESS Of toll, and in
striving to live up to an ideal and be
worthy of love. There is no great mys.
terry in this, for real troubles have
their part in life, yet after all, atgreat
many of them are mere phantoms, that
vanish as the sunlight dispels the
gloom.-Joe Mitchell Chapple in Ma.
tional Magazine.

A Sham Love Of Country.

Our country" is an entity of which
most American citizens are proud.
They love their country. They will
serve it, they will die for It; they re-
sem any insult to our flag, and would
make war with all the world rather
than submit to dishonor. And yet
thousands of our c~ountrymen who thus
cherish a national ideal are grafters,
bribers, or bribed, advocates of cor
ruption and agents OF it in all that
pertains to the business Of the ma
ton. They do not love the nation,
but they love their country. The
latter is an ideal, like religion. But
the nation they regard Is an every
day affair, and their dealings with it
like, the business they do with sharp
traders, in which each man considers
lawful plumber whatever he al make
by exercise of his wfts.-Christian
Register.

WHERE ENGLISH JUSTICE ERRs.
American Variety Not Quito SO Bad
In Some Directions. @

It is only q century since the death
penalty was inflicted in England for
theft not exceeding the value of a
sheep. Now some of the London jour-
nails are making a merciless exposure
of magistrates throughout the king
dom who keep up the tradition by SEN
fencing petty thieves to Jail, while in
flicting only trifiing fines upon wife
heaters and yer more brutal Offend
ers. In n police court one defend
ant was fined $3.50 for knocking his
wife down in the street because she
refused to give him money for drink,
and another was sentenced to 60 days
Imprisonment for damaging growing
potatoes and stealing two footballs.
For cruelty to a horse, beating his
wife, who was i'll, with fist and ham,
mer and leaving her with nothing to
eat, one man was fined two dollars,
while another, charged with stealing
a pair of socks valued at IL cents, got
IA days hard labor. 1t would not be
difficult to make up a. list Of similar
cases from American police courts, yet
the tendency in America is rather
toward a higher estimate of the value
of human life.-Van Norden Magazine.

BAFFEE THE TAX GArHERERS.
Residents on Irish Islands Enjoy I'M
munity from Taxation.

The difficulty of collecting rates In
a number of islands lying off the coast
of Donegal, Ireland, was discussed at
a recent meeting Of the Donegal
county council. 1t vas stated that
rates had not been paid in Tory Is
land for the last 20 years, and that
within the past few years the island
ers Of Cole, Inisherer, Inishmair,
Inishboffin, and others had followed
the example of their Tory brethren
and developed a conscientious objec-
ton to rate collectors. 1t vas impos-
sible to get boatmen to take out COL
lectors to serve demand rates or make
collections, and even summons servers
who had summonses for the island
ers, were refused a passage. On one
occasion the collector engaged a boat
and succeeded in reaching the first
island before his mission was dis
covered. The boatman then refused
to take him back to the mainland, and
It was only after much promising and
pleading that he was allowed to eel
ter the boat. A councilman said that
short of catching the islanders when
they came to the mainland and strip
ping their clothes off them, he did not
see how they were to be made to pay

Young Man Claimed He Had It, But

A young man entered the office OF

the official. And he did. He took
the young man to the snake house and
showed him the snakes. Then he ex-
hibited a bottle of poison extracted
from their fangs. The position offered
has other duties, but the essential re-
quirement is that the incumbent shall

Small Necked New Workers.

Statistics furnished by manufacture
ers of shirts and collars indicate that
the average New York mar has a
smaller neck than his out-of-town
brother. Comparison of orders shows
that out of a given volume of business
booked, Boston and Chicago led in the
matter of big sizes. Inquiry at several
haberdashery shops in Manhattan re-
suited in the information that any
number larger than 1914 would have
to be specially called for from the fac
tory or had through the selling agent.
In other cities it is an everyday ex.
p~erience to sell as high as size 18
over the retail counter. OF course,
the element of snug fit is a factor, but
as a regular proposition eastern and
western men are more "~bull-necked'
than is the case with their New Yorl
brethren. L

PANlC'S LAST GASP
The Surplus In New York Banks
Exceed the Requirements OF
Law $4,000, 100000

A special dispatch to the st.
Louis Republic from New York.
dated January II, announces the
end Of the financial panic. 1t lie
as follows:
"When the bank statement was
published today in Wall street
CUSTOMERS In every brokerage
house in the street sent up q cheer
that made persons in the street
stop and rush into the Offices to bee
what had caused the excitement.
The demonstration was due to
the fact that a deficit of more than
$11, 900, 900. 90 in last weeks state
nent had been wiped out and o
surplus of more than SO, ZOO, 600. 90
had taken It's place.
Four weeks ago there was a de-
felt of $4,000, OOO.0 0, the largest
in the history of the New York
Clearing house. The wiping out
of this deficit and the acoumula-
ton of the surplus prove that the
financial stringenoy Is at an end.
Today for the first time in eight
weeks, the associated banks have
a surplus in excess of legal re-
q~uirements.
There was an increase in cash of
SIS, 800, DOC. 90, which was double
the preliminary estimate. This
shows that the banks of the city
are in danger of having more cash
than they can handle"

Wild WEST HOLDUP
NEAR SONBURY

Six men, with their faces concealed
by black masks. and enforcing their de
mands with leveled revolvers. per-
petrated daring outrage on Packers
island, between Sunbury and North
cumberland early Saturday morning
that savored Of the wild west in true
fashion.
Too late to catch the last car for
Sunbury Hiram Young and John Boil
linger, two young men residing on
Duke street, Northum berland, were
walking from that place across the is
land to Sunbury, escorting two girls
form Sunbury to their homes, between
l2 and / o'clock.
Suddenly six masked men stepped
from the darkness, levelled revolvers
at them and told them to throw up
their hands. Quick as thought Young
took out his pocketbook and threw it
in the road back of him, and then rails
ed his hands. The highwaymen not
noticing the action, searched them and
found nothing on Bollinger, bat took
1oung's silver watch, which was a
standard railroad timepiece, valued at
$50. They debated a while undecided
whether or not TO take their coats, but
finally let them go and then disappear
d.
The two men with the girls made
their way back to Northumberland
and took the late train to Sunbury
without further adventure Before
daybreak Saturday morning Young re-
turned to the island to look for his
purse. He found it where he had
thrown it when held up several hours
before. 1t was intact and still con-
tained the S52 of his railroad pay,
which he had received on Friday. and
which he had cleverly saved from the
hands of the thieves
There is no clue to the identity of
the highwaymen which can lead the
police to their capture, and they ap-
parently have thoroughly covered their
tracks, and made good their escape.
