"With Winters chills, come washday

with Winters chillS, come washday
ills"
Ever heard that old rhyme1 It's going
out of date now. Every woman who
abandons the old back-breaking, health
wrecking, washboiler, hot-water way of
washing clothes, and uses Fels-Naptha in
lukewarm water, is giving i kick farther
back.
Fels-Naptha soap has done more than
anything else in the world to take the ills
out of waShday. Especially in Winter.
The Fels-Naptha method does away
with boiling and nauseouS steam and sick
ening odors Does away with waShtub
drudgery and redeemed hands and face.
With Fels-Naptha you wash clothes
comfortably, in lukewarm water, without
hard-rubbing, and the clothes are far cleaner
and last longer-Aannels, woolens, colored
goods as we'll as the white things.
If you aren't in the procession, better
join. Get ca Ike of FelS-Naptha to-day and
see just how easy washing can be.
Follow carefully the directions on the
red and green wrapper.

that a person is guilty of the same. or
similar, sin when he suspects an
other for it on mere suspicion and
does he not thereby cause others to
judge him after his own judgment?
Verses 3-5.-Why are men so apt
to think lightly of their own sins.
and to magnify the very same sins in
others?
II is but right that a man should
first forsake his own sins, before try
ing to help others do so, but is it i'm
possible for one sinner to induce an
other to repent? Why or why not?
How much success is attained by
unspiritual pastors. or Sunday School
teachers, in leading sinners to re
pentance, Notwithstanding they may
teach the real truth with ability?
Verse 6.-What considerations will
prompt a truly good man to lovingly
reprove sinners, and try to turn
them from their sins?
What class of persons are those
with whom advise or reproof is hope
less, and who but insult a person for
his efforts to help them?
Does Jesus heart direct us to give
up all effort TO save those who answ-
er to dogs and swine" and if not

so many things without our asking,
or even knowing our need of them,
why is it that he gives some Of the
most vital blessings only by our
asking?
What is the significance OF the
three words, ask, seek, knock?
Why does God often keep us wait

8 GIRLS AND BOYS DROWN
Goods of Huntington Mills, Pa,
Take Fatal Boat Ride.
Whole Party, Calm at First Mishap,
Terror Stricken as Boat Begins to
Settle-Minnich Hero.

Huntington Mills, Pa.--Twelve stu
dents of the High School at Hunting
ton Mills went rowing during the
noon recess, and six girls and two
boys were drowned. The dead are:
Maud Sutliff, aged seventeen, OF
Town Line; Caroline Rooms, aged
eighteen, of Harveyville; Ruth Bon
ham, aged seventeen, Of Town Line;
Iris Davenport, aged seventeen, OF
Waterton; Kathleen Good, aged sew
enteen, of Waterton; Rachael Thomp-
son, aged sixteen, OF Town Hill; Rob-
ert Minnich, aged eighteen, of Rooms
Vile; Ray Dodson, aged seventeen,
of Huntington Mills.
What is known as the Old Paper
Mill dam was the scene of the boat
ing. The dam is nearly half a mile
wide. When the two boats reached
the centre of the body it was noticed
that one of them had sprung leak.
The two boats were then pulled to-
gether by the young men and an eff
fort was made to transfer the girls
from the leaky boat to the safer craft.
The last one of the party had scarcely
set foot in the boat when it began to
sink owing to the combined weight of
the party.
The girls were helpless to save
themselves, and the boys of the party,
except Dodson, being expert swim
mers struck out for the shore, which
all reached in safety.
Minnich, in the excitement, it is
presumed, thought all the young wom-
en- had succeeded in reaching land.
He had no sooner gained the bank
than he noticed the girls hanging to
the rapidly sinking boat. Minnich

brick home. In the group who sur
rounded and offered her congratula-
lions we're such distinguished person
ages as Vice-President Sherman, Sec
rotary of the Navy Meyer, Assistant
Secretary Winthrop, Governor Gill
christ, of Florida, and Rear-Admiral
Schroeder, who told Miss Fleming
just when to give the ship its name
Miss Fleming was entirely self-pos-
sessed when she seized the fiag-cov-
cred magnum suspended by lanyard
from a slender boom few feet from
the stem on the starboard side, and
held 1t poised, awaiting the first
movement of the hull.
AS the bow quivered the white
gloved hand of an officer sought her
arm to stay the shattering of the bot
tie for an instant But it was unnec-
essary. Miss Fleming smiled slightly,
and made no move. Then, as the
hull made its first move downward,
she threw the magnum against the
side with all her strength, and 1t
crashed to pieces, the wine flowing
down in hundred rivulets~
AS the ships stern hit the water
and the propellers were submerged,
a high swell went racing out in the
middle of the river, and the guard
boats, stationed to keep traffic at a
distance, rose and tumbled about like
so many bucking bronchos. With the
stern afioat tremendous pressure was
brought by the bow to bear upon the
ways, but this had been taken into
consideration, and, beyond the sound
ing cracking of timbers, nothing hap
pened, Without swaying an inch
either to the right or the left, the
hull went full into the river and rode
upon an even keel.
The gates of the navy yard were
not thrown open until two full hours
before the time of the launching, but
long before that there were impatient
crowds at the entrances. An hour
later the holders OF passes were pour
ing in so fast that it was all the police
and the Marine Corps men could do
to hold them within the paths which
were marked by heavy hawsers
stretched from tree to tree.
The navy yard never presented a
gayer appearance, with flags every
where, and the gowns of women and
official uniforms showing brilliantly
against the green of the COM
mandant's lawns and the spring YER
dure. There was sharp lookout at
the entrance to all stands, and persons
without proper tickets seldom passed
the marines and petty officers sta
toned there.

plunged into the water and swan
swiftly to the water-filled craft. Only
two of the girls were clinging to the
boat, the others having gone down
for the last time. Selling Davenport,
Minnich again started for the shore,
but the exertion was too much for
the gallant lad and the two went
down together when they we're within
a stones throw OF the bank
When the boatssprang leak there
was no excitement among the mem
bers of the party. but as soon as the
sound craft began to fill with water it
appeared as though every member be-
came terror stricken.
THE shrieks of the drowning girls
could be plainly heard on the bank Of
the dam, but there was no one near
who could launch another boat and
go to the rescue of the imperilled
party.
Three of those who were drowned
would have been graduated next
month-young Minnich, Miss Bon
ham and Miss Good.
AS soon as it became known that
the students had lost their lives hum
dreds of persons surrounded the body
of water and graphing parties began
search for the bodies. Those OF
Minnich and Miss Davenport were the
first recovered. Within two hours
all were recovered.
Not one of the parents of the
drowned boys and girls knew of the
accident until all Of the bodies had
been brought ashore.

Work of Lightning.

In ante-bellum days Colonel Moore,
of Kentucky, owned large number
of negroes. He was a kind master
and never punished his negroes with
the whip. One day one of the field
hands named @Jupe" was guilty of
some negligence, and was sent to the
woods at once to cut down and split
up black gum tree, practically an
impossible task. Jupe cut down the
tree and labored hard to cut the
tough wood, but In vain.
In the meantime thunderstorm
came up and Jupe sought a refuge
under a brush heap. Directly the
lightning struck a large poplar tree
near by, splitting it into kind1ing
wood After the storm had passed
Jupe crawled out from his place OF
security and, after taking careful
look at the remains of the poplar
tree, which were scattered all over
the woods, said: Mr.. Lightnin'. !
wish you had tried yo' han on this
black gum. Any blame fool can

SENTENCES FOR GRAFTERS
Prison and Fines For Bribers End
Pittsburg COuncIImen.
Surprise Caused by Judgment Against
Vilsnck Because Million Dollars
Had Been Raised to Save Him.

Pittsburg, Pa.--Judgment day for
Pittsburg Councilmanic grafters! Six
sentenced to Jail and to pay fines;
postponement OIL sentence on four
more!
Those sentenced are: A. A. VIII
sack, $4,000 fine and eight months in
Jail; Charles Stewart, $500 fine and
eight months in Jail; Hugh Ferguson,
$500 fine and eight months in jail;
DR.. w. H. Weber, $500 fine and six
months in jail; p. B. Kearns, $3.50
fine and four months in jail; Morris
Einstein, $4,000 fine and six months
In jail. The costs of prosecution were
added in each case.
Sentence was suspended on e. H.
jennings president of the Columbia
National Bank; Frank A. Griffin, for
merly cashier and vice-president of
the same bank; Charles W. Friend,
vice-president of the Clinton Iron and
Steel Company; M. L. Swift, Jr., for
mer Councilman, convicted on two
charges of bribery
Attorneys for Jennings said that
the prisoner had sickness in his fam
lily which might result in death II
sentence were passed at this time, SO
the Court postponed it for two weeks.
The same was done in Grifin's case.
Judge Frazer, who passed the SEN
fences, when G. w. Friend was called
TO the bar, said he had overlooked his
case. M. L. Swift had asked for
new trial, which caused postponement
In a sentence.
Attorneys for Hugh Ferguson and
Charles Stewart entered appeals i'm
mediately and the bail bonds were re-
newed. The four other men passed
from the court room to the county
Jail.
Much surprise was caused by the
sentence Of A. A. Vilsack, former
cashier of the German National Bank.
It had been repeatedly stated by rela-
tives of Vilsack that they would spend
million dollars to keep him from
being imprisoned. Judge Frazer, in
passing sentence on Vilsack, said:
In this case the defendant has
pleaded guilty to bribery and has be-
come a witness for the Common
wealth 1t is the custom all courts
of justice to show some consideration
to persons who do this. This does
not mean that such men are to be
allowed to go unpublished. In this
case believe that Mr. Vilsack, while
he has aided the Commonwealth, has
attempted to shield one man. That is
the reason / allowed the District At
torney to practically cross-examine
him when he entered his plea. I was
convinced that Mr.. Ramsey and Mr..
Vilsack did not make any personal
profit by the transaction on the bank
deposits Some leniency was shown
to Mr.. Ramsey and he received light
sentence. Now, Mr.. Vilsack has testi-
fed for the Commonwealth and has
saved the Commonwealth by not go
ing to trial and should have more
consideration
Two years in the workhouse and
fine of $100 each were the sentences
imposed upon Harry e. Muehlbronner
and Charles Veverka by Judge ]. M.
Swearingen. Both men were former
ly employed in the Workingman's
Savings Bank and Trust Company.
