MRS. GRAVE and MRS. GAY

Two ladies ehaneed to meet one day.
One was grave. the other gay.
And as they walked along the street
They talked about this, that and the other
to eat
Mrs. Grave says to Mrs. Gay.
81 have hunted almost night and day
A place where our meats we could buy,
Roasts. boils. pork, veal, bacon and fry.
That was not bone. old. gristle or tough.
But they always somehow give me the
bluff.
feel So bad scarce know what to do,
And feel that indeed must tell you.
And now intend to tell it all aroun'
There is no good meat in this town,
And do think it a shame and pity
They ship it all to Denver or kansasCity.
This meat question here is sight,
And have searched everything for light
But have still not found enough
To make tender beef out Of tough"
"Oh, oh. Mrs. Grave. you certainly have
not seen
Walnut Avenue Market, No. el7,
The finest thing in all the Valley,
Now as you 60 home please ask Aunt
Sally.
Mrs. Grave. this is Stauffer's Up-to-Date
Acknowledged as fine as there is in the
state.
It Is a place true and tried,
Trade there, no question. you will sure be
satisfied"
81 am so glad, Mrs. Gay. you told me this
And this is a chance ! shall not miss,
For you seem so sure and positive.
will sure Try them tomorrow If live
Mrs. Grave and Mrs. Gay met at our
store.
Mrs. Grave said to Mrs. Gay. 81 see need
hunt no more.
For this undoubtedly is a place Of tus!-
moss and OF standing.
And feel that at last have made
landing.
Mrs. GAY, had | been told this lcng ago.
| would feel younger. this know.
And what you told me. see. Is quite true
And | thank you ever so much, Mrs. Gay.

Sicily AS 1t Was.

The havoc caused by earthquake in
Sicily may seem Incredible until this
land of enchautmeut Is seen in the
reproduction of Lyman H. Howe $
Lifeorama at the opera house Satur-
day evening. The wonderfully beauti-
full cities of yesterday. are most faith
fully shown in detail as they will
never again exist. Messins in all it's
native brillisnce. its stately edifioes
and busy streets is superbly depicted.
The glories of yesterday must be seen
before the ruins of today can be con-
ceived. Therefore these pictures are
of supreme aud vital interest. By re-
vealing the romantic beauty of Sicily
aud the imposing buildings of Messina
the pictures impress the spectator with
their Importance and consequently en-
able the mind to imagine the havoc
adequately.

READING HAS

And just now she is also having great

been cited by sanitary engineers, the

stage-results In but small percent

pay big price on it. But now thss
she has failed to meet her burdensome
payments, the man who has the CON
tract to maintain and operate the
plant, has closed it down. State Health
Commissioner Dixon has heard of the
Reading mix-up and he threatens to
bring the power of the common ealth
down upon the city's head il she
doesn't pay up quick and have the
sewage dipsosal plant resume. The
city enjoys" the luxury of having q
sewage disposal plant, and the con
tract between her and the man who
maintains and operates it is that she
pay the sum of s46, 900 q year. She
owes over ss, 900 Of this amount now.

YESTERDAY
WAS SPRINGLIkE

The weather conditions yesterday
were of kind that carries a sugges-
tion of spring into midwinter and that
awakens new life and joyfulness in
natures that have become half-torpid
under the depressing effect of muIky
skies and inhospitable winds.
Mercury, which at noon Tuesday
hovered around zero, yesterday at
about the same hour had climbed to
40 degrees above aero. There was
scarcely breeze blowing. The sky
was clear and the sun shone with all
the effulgence of day in spring.
Hundreds of people yielded to the
temptation to journey abroad and view
the marvellous landscape enshrouded
In its mantle of white which sparkled
In the soft sunlight.
The snow melted considerably but
out OF the abundance there was plenty
to spare. Last evening sleighing WAS
pronounced excellent. Bells were heard
on everyside yesterday. People from
the country enjoyed a sleigh ride into
town and people from town drove in
to the country. The sidewalks were
we'll filed with people and during the
afternoon many even strollsd over the
river bridge

INNOVATION
FOR FARMERS

AS an ultimate aim in the spreading
OF scientific agricultural education by
means of Farmers Special Iustruc-
tion Trains," the Pennsylvania rail
road aud the Pennsylvania State Col
Iege Agricultural school authorities
perimentaI farm will be maintained
in every county as practical example
to the husbandmen of the section of
the value of employing up-to date till
ing methods. This possibility was
emphasized earnestly by William J.
Rose, of Harrisburg, division freight
agent of the Pennsylvania. He acted
as pilot of the first instruction train
of the kind ever run in this State,
when it wound through Delaware.
Chester, Lancaster and Berks counties
last November.
RESULTS FROM LITERATURE.
1T is as plain as day that the farm
er cannot be taught and made to en-
ploy tested methods of farming by
means of literature" added Mr.. Rose.
mo matter how great the desire for
an insight into the better, more profit
able methods, they get small satistac-
tion out of pamphlets and circulars
that tell in hsounding words the
benefits to be derived. Take the coun.
ty fair as an instance OF this very
thing. Farmers flock there for miles
around simply to see the improved
machinery always on exhibition. Of
ten they make their purchases on the
spot because they know exactly what
they are buying.
For years agricultural schools have
been established, but the farmers sons
did not attend with the idea of stay
ing on the plot of ground surrounding
the old homestead. The trend has
been cityward. but there has been a
sudden change of the current here in
the east within ten years.
FARM THE BEST MEANS.
AN experimental farm would ans.
wer the need of the agriculturist of
today, especially in Pennsylvania.
There the results of research in science
could be put into practice, and tillers
of the soil from miles around could
become Investigators and learn for
themselves exactly how things are be.
ing done. Maybe they would be an
xious to know the secret Of alfalfa
growing, and they could inspect the
alfalfa field; IL the corn crop had prov
ed profitable they could discover ways
of getting even better returns. Crops
adapted to certain sections would be
raised under the same conditions that
confront the farmers on the soil sur
rounding the experimental plots, and
this is no small consideration. Expert
ence shows that a potato that thrives
in northern New York might prove a
sad failure in northern Pennsylvania. "

The telephone finds great favor with
the farmers and is installed in nearly

realize the advantage of rural tele-
phone. Mr.. Eokman says, the people
eau hardly understand how they man
aged to get along without it for so

all the advantages they covet and that
is a trolley line connecting Danville

Suicide CAUSED
MOTHERS DEATH

A terrible double tragedy was that
at Berwick Monday afternoon when
L. Benton Laubach took his own life
and in so doing caused the death OF
his aged mother.
Laubach, who was aged Al years,
was station agent at the S. B. and b.
railroad and a we'll known resident of
Berwick. He had been sick for a week
but was suffering from the effects of
d sipatiou that made him irrational
at times. In these spells lie feart d
someone was trying to kill him. He
was much better ana had stated he
would return to work.
DEED DELIBERATELY PLANNED
The deed was deliberately planned
aud executed and 80 CalibIe revolver
with one chamber empty was found
beneath him. He apparently stood be-
tore the mirror ami placing the barrel
| Of the revolver against his right tenn
pie sent the bullet crashing through
his brain, causing instant death. Mrs
Laubach was alone in the house and
had been sewing. She had just gone
upstairs when she heard the report.
J She called aud asked what the noise
was and getting no report opened the
door which struck sgaiust the body
aud saw his feet a. he lay upon the
floor and the blood upou his clothes.
MOTHER HEARD NEWS
AND THEN EXPIRED.

fold. Mr.. Laubach' mother, Mrs. G..

76 years of age and victim of acute
nervousness, her fears were at once
aroused. 1t was when her daughter

tested that she be told the news. To
forestall the shock the message wat

expression ''Oh. My Boy. My Boy

and upon sitting down fell out Of the

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube is intiamed you have rum

when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
