VERY GLOOMY
SUBJECT WILL
BE DISCUSSED
SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNTY
BOARD TO HOLD INQUIRY INTO
MATTER OF FURNISHING COZ
FINS FOR BURIAL OF PAUPERs
IN ESCAMRIA.

Rather a gloomy subject will be
discussed at a special meeting of the
board of county commissioners which
has been called for Tuesday night,
but with all that, the session promises
to be interesting from beginning 20
end The meeting has been called
for the purpose of investigating GER
tain complaints which have been flied
with the board relative to the class OF
collins furnished in which to bury
paupers in this county. The report
had it that unlined collins were fur
nished, and having no head rest, and
also having a nailed down top. The
contracting undertaking firm takes
this complaint as an aspersion upon
them and has called for an investiga-
ton. All such was given out at The
meeting held last Tuesday night. The
indications are that the investigation
will take on an Importance not contem-
plated at first The county has oeen
preparing subpoenaes for a dozen or
more witnesses, some of whom are
prominent and charitable ladies OF the
city. The undertaking firm has not
been slow in getting up a presenta-
ton of their case, all combining to-
ward a very lively session even if the
subject matter is of such d gloomy
nature.

There are several more badges to be

them when he finds their holders,
who are also ship watchmen-
An abuse of power conferred was
the reason of the boards action, but
all thus far turning in their badges
assert they are not among the guilty
ones. They say il was the other
fellow" In addition to calling IN
badges worn by ship watchmen, the
marshal IS under instructions to call

one having badges worn and used

READING, Pa, Aug. 19.-Awak
ened by something on her face last
night, Mrs. John Mcknight, of
Shartlesville, seized the object and
was Mortified to feel it squirm in
her hand. She hurled it aside and
1t fell upon the neck of her sleep

bed with a yell of terror. Then he
jumped back in bed again, and for
several minutes man and wife
waited In pitchy darkness while
they could hear something gliding
about on the floor. When the
noise ceased Mcknight got up and
lit a lamp. After long search he
found a blacksnake coiled under
the sewing machine. 1t was
promptly dispatched.

raced together down the street to
ask Bobby Brown to come out and
play
The boys thought 1t great sport
to make little SNOWFALL and keep
rolling it through the snow until it
became a great big ball. Bobby
suggested that they each make
some big snowbaIls and put them
together for forts, Ted and Towser
to have one fort and Bobby the
other
So they had great sham battle,
and Towser would often forgot to
stay back Of his fort, and he
thought it better fun to run after
the balls. How he did run back and
forth, first an Ted's side and then
on Bobby's, and all the time bark
ing just as loudly and making just
as much noise as he could!
Suddenly he raced so fast to
catch a ball that he scrambled
right up over Ted's fort, knocking
it down.
Bobby jumped up and down, clap
ping his hands. shouting that he
had won the battle.
Then they all thr eeran a race to
the house to get warm and dry
their mittens beside the fire.
