The first consists of an apple corel
and carefully baked, set on pretty
saucer, then covered with whipped
cream or the white Of an egg beaten
stiff with little sugar. The other
digestible dessert is apple toast. To
make it, toast bread in the oven until
crisp throughout, but not blackened.
Place the slices in the bottom Of
colander set within another dish, turn
boiling water over each slice, drain
Immediately and serve hot in pretty
plate with sweetened apple sauce
about the consistency of marmalade
spread over each slice. The sauce
may also be made from dried apples
or apricots or stewed peaches. Still
another nourishing and pretty way
of serving apple sauce is to stew the
apples quickly so that the sauce is
white and tender. Strain through a
pure sieve, then beat up with an egg
already beaten stiff. Add sugar and
flavoring to taste and pile lightly in
a glass dish.-New Yok Telegram.

Second Drop for Enton Elevator.

Monday morning for the second time
within a comparatively short time the
cable supporting the cage at Eriton
Shaft parted, dropping the cage to the
bottom of the shaft with terrific force,
but fortunately, as in the first case, the
cage was unoccupied and nobody was
injured.
The shaft is about three hundred feet
deep and the elevator fell nearly the
entire distance. AS In the first case
the platform contained coal Car and
both car and cage were badly demol-
ished. The accident is considered most
fortunate from the fact that 1t was
unoccupied as 1t would have meant
almost certain death for any person
to drop with the platform. The cage
is equipped with dogs for such emer-
gencies but both times they failed to
work. dubois Courier.

What Constitutes a Good Citizen.

The good citizen Is necessarily man
who pays his debts, contributes to the
moral uplifting Of the town, lives a
clean life and sets an example to his
followers. A good citizen is one who
does not regard himself the hub around
which every act is not dictated by pure
self interest A good citizen ought also
to be anxious to advance the material
welfare of his neighbors; he ought to
take pleasure and pride in helping to
build up the community in which he
lives, otherwise he is unworthy of the
confidence OF the moral, business
or political support Of such commun-
ity. A man is entitled to the esteem
Of his fellows only in the portion he
has enriched them morally and men,
tally. This is the only proper criterion
by which to judge Of the value Of men.

Reading and Writing
At Eishty-Three
Dubois Man Masters Both
After Passing Eightieth
Milestone.

What do you think of the feat Of
man in his S3rd year Of age who takes
up and masters the art of reading ard
writing? That's just what James Har-
vey, Of Park avenue, four score and
three years Of age and a miner since he
was nine years old, has accomplished
during the past three months. Not
only is the old gentleman now able
to scan the newspapers every day and
write letters to his friends but he can
do it all without the aid Of glasses.
Mr.. Harvey was born in England and
worked in the mines there and in
Wales until forty years ago when he
came to America. Starting in the pit
at the tender age OF nine years he had
no chance for an education when young
and until we'll past the allotted age OF
man was always kept too busy to think
of acquiring book-learning. A couple
OF years or 30 ago the family moved
onto Park avenue and tho elder Har-
vey, who had by this time retired from
active work, began making his head
quarters in the Office of the Weber
undertaking rooms. On his expressed
wish one day that he could read and
write, the attaches Of the Office began
to teach him, writing the copy at the
head OF a sheet Of paper in the old
school form and pointing out the char
acters in print. The veteran scholar
proved an amazingly apt and diligent
pupil, practicing daily until he now
reads the newspapers as avidly and
discusses events with as much interest
as If he had not been getting his in
formation through other channels all
his life.-DuBois Express.

Much to Local Prosperity.

That the year 1909 will be
the most prosperous every ex-
perienced by Reynoldsville has
been freely predicted, and judged
by the record of the first week in
January there seems to be some
thing more substantial than
mere optimism to base the pro-
phecy on. The panic year of
1908 hardly had been ushered
out when the announcement was
made that negotiations in pro-
gress for taking over the brick
plant formerly operated by the
Reynoldsville Clay Manufactur-
ing Company had reached a
point which practically assured
resumption under management
of Thomas E. Evans, its former
lessee.
The plant has a very large
capacity of brick and it is
the intention of Mr.. Evans to
operate it to its full capacity.
Arrangements have been made
with a Pittsburg company to
take the entire seasons output,
guaranteeing steady employ
ment for about fifty Reynolds

Advice to Youth
Hom:1y Common Sense Talk
BY the California Humorist
And Evangelist.

Remember, my son, you have to work,
whether you handle pick or pen,
wheelbarrow or set Of books, dig
bitches or edit newspaper, ring an
auction bell or write funny things, you
must work.
II you look around, you will see the
men who are most able to live the rest
OF their days without work are the men
who work the hardest. Don't be afraid
OF killing yourself with overwork. 1t
is beyond your power to do that on the
sunny side OF thirty. They die some
times, but it is because they quit work
at 6 p. m. and don't get home until 2
a. m. It's the interval that kills, my
son. The work gives you an appetite
for your meals; it lends solidity to your
slumbers; it gives you a perfect and
grateful appreciation OF holiday.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud Of
them. 1t does not know their names
even, it simply speaks OF them as ''old
So and Sos boy" Nobody likes them;
the great, busy world doesn't know that
they are there. So find out what you
want to be and do, and take off your
coat and make dust in the world. The
buster you are the less harm you will
be apt to get into, the sweeter will be
your sleep, the brighter and happier
your holidays, and the better satisfied
the world will be with you.-Bob Bur.

Doctor Declares That sounder and

Without Its Use.

PILLOWS are little more than a fad,

said doctor. "They should really
only be used by those who sleep on
their sides, as they are injurious to
others. When you sleep on your side
your shoulder prevents your head
from lying level on the bed, and pill
lows are useful to raise the head to
this level. The natural and most
healthful position for the ordinary
person in sleeping is for ones head
to be kept perfectly even, Just as 1t
would be standing up. Now. for the

who sleep on their sides use far more
pillow than Is necessary. People get
