" TABLE placed beside the bed is

EVERY room is sufficiently large nor can
be SO arranged as to make this possible.
In the latter case it is an excellent plan
to purchase as small folding table as
possible, buying it in cheap wood if
necessary, and paint it over with white
enamel. The top of the table should then
be covered with pretty chintz, felt or
silk, which is tackled on firmly all around
the edge with brass headed nails This
table can be opened out and placed beside
the bed each night to hold such books as
may be desired and a candle or portable
electric light. During the day the books
will stand on their shelf or desk, the lamp

yenient and the space of The table be free
Unless the table or stand is of espe-
cially handsome wood the cover Is now
generally attached firmly to the top in
stead of being left loose to fall off or
drag down at one end GU the least provo
cation. In a city, where dust collects so
quickly, it is well to make one or two
fine lawn or dimity covers that may be
taken off every few days if necessary
and washed In this case the under
cover should be of fairly deep shade of
pink or blue sateen or silk, so that it viii
show through prettily. In putting on the
cover the rough edge Of the material
should, of course, be turned in beneath
the tacks, while band of ribbon or of
braid will give more finished look to

TT HE sewing screens are in many ways
the greatest comfort a sewer can
have, for everything is ready to use
the moment it is wanted. They are made
with either two or three panels, covered
on the outside with brocade, cretonne
or some such firm material. The COW
ering may be fastened on with brass
headed nails or finished with gimp. On
the inner side are the various pockets and
straps to hold the articles used in sewing.

has an old mahogany bureau with the

COURT MATTERS.
Boy Sent to Industrial Home. Real
Estate Ordered Sold.

At Saturdays session of court
Judge Evans sentenced Howard
Van Buskirk to the House of Ref
uge at Glen Mills.
The boy is fourteen years old
and was recently caught in the act
of robbing the money drawer at
Gelb's store.
Emil Gelb, proprietor of the
store, testi led of the various thefts
at his store, stating that the money
had been taken during the dinner
hour when the cashier was out.
The boy was called and acknowl-
edged making confession in which
he said that on four different occa-
sions he had stolen in all S26.25,
which he had spent for candy, pea
nuts, oranges 0nd bananas. Since
April he has worked at the Furni-
ture Factory.
He was before the court at the
September term in 1908, when lie
was parolled under the care Of a
probation officer.
After giving the boy some good
advice Judge Evans sentenced him
to the House OF Refuge.
Upon petition filed sale of the
real estate of the late Capt. J. b.
Robson was ordered, and a bond
for 81 900 to be filed by the admin
istratriX.
a rule to show cause why the
farm of the estate of Isaac Klinga-
man deceased, should not be sold
was argued, but no order was
made.
On petition of l.. c. Mensch,
Esq, committee of Mary r Lead
er, weak minded person. the mat
ter of the sale of her real estate
was before the court, The COM
mittee claimed that the income OF
the property is less than enough to
pay the fixed charges on it, and al
so keep Mrs. Leader who is at
present living in Milton. The
property consists of a fine residence
on Fifth street. c. c. Peacock
Esq, called as a witness, said in
substance that the property is in
good repair and has a good barn
erected upon it, and that in his
mind it is one of the most desirable
locations in toNn. The property
is worth, in his opinion S., or
50, 900. F. D. Dentler said that
the property ought to bring ST. 500
L. c. Mensch stated that after pay
ing insurance, taxes, &C., he had
but SIS a year left for Mrs. Lead
er's support
The court ordered the sale to be
made on the following terms: $500

| firmation of the sale, anl balance III

The FAIR IS ON.
The Entries of Live Stock so many
that Additional Sheds Had to be
Erected for Them.
The LOCAL EXHIBITORS.

It is an annual custom to say
that "this years Fair surpasses all
others" whether it be entirely
truthful or not, but from hasty
and early glance around the grounds
Yesterday morning the writer teels
that he can honestly say that lie
has never before seen a more eN-
tensive exhibit at this Fair.
The main building has been
filled with more than the usual
number of a. attractive booths
Among the merchants of town who
have arranged tasteful display OF
their goods are the Writ Fountain
Pen Company, Buckalew x Co"
w. Mex. Reber, Columbia Power
Light and Railways Co., l.. E.
Whary, Housenick & Co., the
Leader Store Co., w. O. Holmes
& Son, ]. Saltzer, c. NJ. Evans,
and a number of others, beside at
tractive displays from out of town,
It is in the exhibit of live stock
that the large size of the Fair Is
particularly noticeable, the old
stalls we're entirely filled with cat
tie, sheep and pigs, but more were
brought i'll in such numbers that
Yesterday morning the new west
end of the grounds was well hlled
with live stock tethered TO posts
awaiting the erecting OF new sheds,
at which work a force of carpenters
was hustling,
The showing of poultry is large
and varied, and is interesting even
to the person who knows little
about the technical points OF fowls
Large and small eating stands
have been put up by the dozens as
we'll as stands for the sale OF SOU
venirs aud trinketS.
The shows which have been adj
mitted by the association are above
the average, a dog and pony show
being the largest.
The races, three of which are &c
be run each day, are expected 10
prove exciting, and as the recent
rain has put the track in good con-
dition, fast time will probably be
made.
Judging from the outlook the
Fair of 1909 will not take second
place to any which has been held
in the history of the Columbia
County Agricultural, horticultural
and Mechanical Association.

The STROLLER.
He Visits his Alma Mater, and Strols
about Manhattan During the
HUDSON..FULTON CELEBRATION.

The wanderlnst again gripped
the Stroller some weeks since, and
he boarded a Lackawanna train,
eu route to New England via MAN.
haitian.
Placidly lolling in comfortable
chair as the train drew out from
the station, he sighed to himself
thuswisc:
Farewell, O site of Fort Nc
Clure. Adicu, town which fosters
the Columbia County Fair; O Vii
lage of the brewery which never
brewed, Auf Wiederseher. l shall
return"
So, serenaded by a squalliug
youngster in the seat behind him,
who emitted ffty-seven varieties of
howls for ffty-seven miles, he ar
rived at Scranton, and boarded the
New York train.
AS he crossed ihe North river,
he had foretaste of the excitement
which he was to witness week
later. The harbour and river were
full o! craft of every description
decorations were being put up, and
general preparation for Hudson
Fulton week was in progress. The
Stroller gazed at this animated CEN
te. of commerce, and his mind
rambled back to Port Noble in the
palmv days of the Pennsylvania
canal
a further journey of three hours
brought him to the Nutmeg Capt.
tai, where he had spent four years
filling his head with knowledge of
the ancient drama in the lecture
rooms, and Of the modern drama i'll
the Hartford theatres; where he
had tested the ingredients of some
mixtures in the laboratories, and of
other mixtures in the cafes; in 9TH
er words, where he had enjoyed
himself for four years, and had
tucked a sheep-skin in his trunk to
carry away with him.
He hurried out to the college on
his arrival and was received in his
cid rooms by bunch OF undergrads
who had arrived week before the
scheduled opening of the institu-
tion. That night the Stroller re.
newed his undergraduate days and
returned to his wonted bedtime of
two thirty. The next day he NOV
ed his bag and baggage down to
the presidents house and was Civ
en- a night key. Here he made
himself at home, and spent six
days much like the ones i'll the
-alumuus period.
He made himself agreeable to
promising freshmen for obvious
reasons, smoked for hours i'll the
sanctum of many an old friend,
and chummed about with more
than one classmate who had return
ed for the opening ceremonies.
At the opening chapel service he
Joined four of his classmates and
some undergrads in pealing forth
sweet music from the choir.
The week rolled past and the
time to leave for the Hudson-Ful-
ton celebration was at hand, and
he was loath to depart. But col
lege days, as he had found, have
the habit of coming to an end, and
besides, the New York committee
of arrangements would probably
not consent to postponement of
the metropolitan hubbub over Hen
ry and Robert just to allow him to
loaf around his alma mater a bit
longer. So, with one Fellow AL
umnus he set forth to the erstwhile
New Amsterdam, and took up his
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1909-10-14

residence at the +. AS. house on
Fifth Avenue, on the night before
the big celebration was scheduled
to burst.
Saturday morning, the twenty
fifth Of September, was the big day
of the naval parade. The Stroller
was awakened by the distant boom
ing of big guns, and realized that
things were about to start. After
breakfast, he and the Fellow Alum
nus strolled to the pier at West
Forty Third Street and boarded
the steamer "Cygnus" with the
Seventh New York Regiment,
The "Cygnus' steamed down
the river at ten o'clock and lodged
about among the hundreds of craft
in the harbour. Every type of boat
that floats was represented in the
throng in the bay. Tugs, private
yachts, excursion boats, ferry boats,
and ocean liners, all crowded to
the rails, with bands playiug on
every side, and all ablaze with col
ors, swarmcd over the waters of the
bay presenting picture which
even New York has seldom seen.
Shortly after noon this fotilla
assumed a semblance of order, and
formed into line. Led by the little
"Halve Maene," the Holland built
replica of Henry Hudson's ship,
and by the facsimile OF the "Cl.r-
mont" Robert Fulton's first steam
boat, the parade started up the
river
The Stroller and the Fellow
Alumnus tucked themselves up into
the anchor chants in the very bow
o: the "Cygnus" from whence they
would have been yanked III an un-
dignitied manner had not a friendly
coil of rope hidden them from the
gaze Of the officers. From this
vantage point they had an unob.
structed view OF both sides of the
river, and were enabled to NOV
down the fleet with their battery of
five-iuch kodaks.
Arriving opposite Forty Second
Street they passed the first vessel
of the greatest international fleet of
warships the western world has
ever seen. Stretching from Forty
Second Street to Yonkers, nine
miles up the Hudson, were the
fighting representatives of ten ma
tions.
AS the little replicas approached
the fleet each warship let loose
twenty-one guns, which made the
cold chills play tag about the Stroll
ler's vertebrae.
Passing the French warships,
the Seventh Regiment Band on the
"Cygnus" played the "Marseil-
laise" to the Germans they shrek
ed die Wacht Am Rhein"; across
the water they sent God Save the
King" to the Britishers; to every
foreigner they played their nation
al anthem, and every one of them
returned the "Star Spangled BAN
ner," while the crews shouted.
In the river above the foreigners
rode the American fleet seven
miles of fighting machines-battle-
ships, cruisers, torpedo boats and
submarines.
Around all of this war armada
the peace hotilla made its way,
going up Oh the west side and down
on the east, watched by millions of
people who blackeued the shores
from Staten Island to Yonkers,
The "Cygnus" laid to just off
the Statue of Liberty at dinner
time, and the Stroller and the Eel
low Alumnus snatched a bite in
true military form, sitting on boxes
and using a coil of rope as table.
At dusk the illuminated city
shone forth in all its Hudson Ful.
ton splendor-a sight which put to
shame all expositions, and which
even belittled Coney Island with all
