The pupils of the Boro schools

cises in the High School room,

tions, readings and songs, each
commemorative of the day which
was being observed, and nearly
every period in. the life of the great
president was dwelt upon, thus
showing not only the pathetic side
of his life, but also amusing incl
dents Of his boyhood days.
Each pupil, from the youngest in
the primary school to the oldest in
the high school had a part in the
| program, which in every instance
was rendered with a patriotism
that shone on the countenance OF
the boy or girl.
Before the exercises closed Rev.

Henry Stepp had the misfortune
of inhicting painful wound upon
his foot Friday last while at work
shifting ice in1the Mokoma Com
pany's ice house. A pointed ice
tool in the shape of an AK which
Mr.. Stepp was using glanced off a |
cake Of ice and struck his foot,
penetrating the instep, and infiict-

John Lovelace met with an acci
dent one day last week while at
work in the tannery which nearly
resulted fatally. He was at work
near the hide mill when he acci-

machine, but fortunately was
struck in time by d moving beam
which threw him out on the floor
and narrowly prevented crushing
out his life. Workmen carried
him out and sent for medical as
sistance. After the arrival of q
physician it was learned that Mr..
Lovelace had sustained two broken
ribs and was otherwise badly
bruised.
Mr.. William Loeb went to the
Williamsport hospital Monday
where special treatment will be
given his ankle which he badly
sprained several weeks ago by slip
ping on the icy walk while going
from his store to Mrs. Smyth' 5
residence. Although severely in
jured, by the use of a crutch he
continued to attend to the needs of
his customers. The continued use
of the injured member proved SER
ious, as it prevented the torn liga-
ments from healing. The flesh
above the swollen ankle began to
grow black which gave evidence of
serious complications. "uncle

Carl O. Bird and Miss Jessie
Wrede.
The siXty-ir3t annual report of the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, just published, is remark
able exhibit in view of the adverse
conditions which existed during the
past year. In spite of the general
depression of 1908 the company
wrote and revived over SSS, 900
Of business, which was the largest in
the history of the company, showing
chat the public has confidence in
proper methods of Life insurance
administration.
The annual report.may be condens-
ed and summarized as follOws:-
Total assets Dec 81, 1908 500, l3I, $1,000
Gain in premium income 52O, 100 90
Gain IN iutercs, rents. ect 26,462 GO

Total deferred div'd fund 6,S6l ,G5S00
Gain in 81 COS, ,655.00
Total insurance in force 4l6,6SS, ,236 90
Not withstanding the large
amount of new insurance written
and the consequent increase in
amount at risk, the mortality eX-
perience Of the company during the
year 1908 was even more favorable
than during the year 1907. With to-
tai death losses paid to benificiaries
Of deceased members S3,3I7,4I7
there was decrease of $500. sos
from the death losses of the previous
year. The surviving members of
the company have evidently derived
from this source large saving.
One very interesting point which
is brought out in the annual state
ment of the company is that at the
end Of the year 1905 there was not
a single dollar of interest in default
on more than $39, 100000 invested
in mortgage loans. This clearly in
dicates the high character of the in
vestments. of the company.
The company is earnestly de-
sirous that every economy consist
ent with the proper conduct of its
business shall be exercised, and its
underlying purpose is that the in
terest of each policy holder shall be
impartially and fairly considered.
1t means that every policyholder
in the Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company is entitled to and actually
gets square deal.
The Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company has behind it q history of
honorable dealings and steady
growth for sixty-one years and this
is not only due to the high character
of the management, but also to those
who come into direct personal con-
tact with tho policyholders, the
agency force. Messrs Bourne and
Durham, of Philadelphia, have
general supervision over Eastern and
Central Pennsylvania and in this
section the companies interests are
efficiently cared tor by M. A. Sour

and touched with the gold of originality, are
enough, in all conscience to show the sensitive
reader that the French poetry OF the past is not
a negligible quantity. In modern times Mr..
Bailey finds exemplars who place the subject
more debatable ground. One may appreciate
to the full Victor Hugo's finest lyric ecstacies
and still feel that the chapter on this poet in the
present volume rather overstates his value,
and the auth" is again, a little less than CON
yincing in his s:-des of Leconte de Lisle and
Heredia- In his tT,.tment of both the latter
poets his enjoyment o. their beauties of form
lures him away from the subtler and divlner
elements in poetry. But even here he performs
a certain useful service, inasmuCh as he at least
saws the best that there is to be said for his
tspes We must add that while his main purpose
is exuository and critical he has also remen-
bered that essays like these, which embody

author likes need 10 be made, if possible, little
entertaining. Mr.. Bailey therefore treats his
heroes not as poetical distractions but as hu-
man creatures. The chapter on La Fontaine is
especially TO be commended for its sympathetic
handling of biographical details.
