Old PENNSYLVANIA TAVERN
Noted Hosiery Where Great Stage
Coaches Put Up Half Cen.
fury Ago.

The old Stone house at the juno
ton of the Franklin and Pittsburg
pike with the Erie and Pittsburg
pike is one of the noted historic
spots in Butler county. Half CEN
fury ago the great stage coaches
over these noted highways put up at
the Stone house for the night.
Buckwheat cakes, honey, country
ham, sausage, Indian mush, dough-
nuts, roasted potatoes and mince
pies formed the larger part of the
menu at this noted hostelry.
The building was erected i'll 1917
and is still occupied. 1t stands at
the crossroads and is surrounded al
most entirely by dense forest. It
was the first house built, possibly,
on the thousand-acre tract of land
taken up by the Mcclure family and
is still in their name.
There are many wild and weird
stories connected with the famous
house which the old people in the
neighborhood tell, but they lack the
clement which make them true his
tory. However, it is not too much
to say that previous to the Civil war
strangers were known to enter the
old Stone house who we're never
again seen. These we're in the days

geraniums. 1t makes them droop,
and my children are very fond of
them. If there is anything that l
can do, please tell me-
And the note was signed, From
the day school teacher, Helen
White"
James Darcy looked about the
room for the abused gerailiums,
which in his preoccupation he had
never happened to notice before.
There they were, shivering and
dropping in the cold winters blast.
James closed the window, and, COM
ing back, he tore a sheet from his
notebook and hastily wrote:
''My dear Miss White: | shall
take pains in the future to keep the
window closed by the geraniums.
Thank you for the suggestion. J.
c.. Darcy" And as he placed his
sheet on the desk he folded the
dainty feminine note carefully, re-
placed it in its envelope, and put it
in his pocket.
A few nights later he found a
second communication, inclosing two
theater tickets. 1t said: 81 have
thought about you many times since
your note. l wonder what you are
like-what sort of eyes, and what
books and pictures you like. Can
you accept these matinee tickets? |
have few friends in the city and, as
| shan't be able to use them myself
l want you to have them. Ever
yours"
"She's got a nerve with her, any.
way" he thought as he tore the
sheet from his notebook, and he
felt vague sense of disappointment
"Still," he argued to himself, 81
need some sort of diversion" Then
on the way to the clinic the next
morning, in a spirit of reckless ex'
travagance, he ordered a dozen rose.
to be sent TO Miss Whites room.

A TREE THAT WEEPS.

During the driest months Of the
Rhodesian year-August, September
and Octobcr-a tree called by the
natives Mukololo cxudes moisture in
large drops from its topmost leaves
and gives the traveller who happens
to be standing in the immediate vi
cinity the impression that shower
of rain is falling When the natives
see one of these trees dripping they
say: "The mukololo is weeping for
rain" Even during the hottest day
the Tree wecps copiously.

that NEW YEARS RESOLUTION.

Dav-after-tolnarrow will be the
time when you will put that new
wears resolution into effect. Halt
of these resolutions will not sur-
vive the noon hour and large per
cent of the remaining ones will be
broken before we 60 to bed. Tbs
is at least true of the trivial reso-
lutions and as matter OF fact 1t
will. not make much difference
whether they are kept or not.
But there will be a nobler, Drawer,
better fight against that invisible
antagonist when it comes to the
resolutions that mean something.
When it comes to that matter re
garding which longabiding con-
viction has rested upon you that
YOU should do, or not do. But at
the end of week many will have
been utterly vanquished, yet a few
will have taken the offensive and
actually gained ground. At the
months end however, those who
three weeks before were seemingly
victorious will have surrendered
unconditionly, or be placed in a
siege by the enemy, which
means that it is onlv question OF
time when they too will capitulate.
The great trouble with new year
resolutions is that SO many of them
are negative. For instance if a
druncard resolves to brace up and
be a man from and after January
first, yet does nothing to put that
good resolve into effect but stand
around the front door of the saloon
and mingle with his old acquaint-
ances, of course informing each
one that he has quit it,, only
means that in few days a COM
bination OF thirst, a diminution Of
earnestness in his resolve and the
joval invitation of friend, ali
striking his one vulnerable spot at
the same time, he will be drawn
within the dark opening and fall
down to lower depths than ever
before. But if he makes an affirm
alive resolution it would be differ
ent. If he will say. Tomarrow
I'll go across the street and joir
the salvation army" he will Their
have something to occupy his
mind and the nature of his work
the new associations and tn
absence of the old enemy, will en-
able him to win gloriously. So i
you want your new year S reSo-
lutions to remain unbroken, make
affirmative ones.

Washington, D. c.. April 21.--WaIl
streets watered stock took sharp
rise last week on the announcement
of the supreme court that the social
ed prosecutions against the Standard
Oil trust and the tobacco trust would
be re-argued next October. It will be
remembered that the supreme court
was on the verge Of deciding the to-
bacc0 trust case when Justice Brew
ed died. It seems as though Justice
Brewer was the mainstay of the in
terests and might have been expected
to cast the deciding vote In the make
believe prosecution It is. therefore.
very significant that on his death a
new trial has been ordered, which will
give the trusts time in which to Sc
lect another supreme Judge. and viii
also delay the decision Of the cases
until after the election in November.

The entering wedge that would
burst asunder the Oklahoma "zoologi-
cal garden Of cranks, as Mr. Taft was
wont to call the state constitution
would be the repeal of article nine
that the railroads and their henehmen
are now clamoring for. It would be
we'll for the people to think deeply
on this proposition and having done
so vote hard against tampering with
that important safe guard to the con.

NARROW ESCAPE
IN RUNAWAY
WHITE HORSE FRIGHTENS BLACK
HORSE AND CHILDREN ARE
ENDANGERED.

Sauk City, June 2-There came very
near being a serious mishap yesterday
to the children of &. Hottman as they
were returning home from school.
They were driving their black family
horse and when about half a mile from
home they came to where a neighbor
boy was herding some cattle by the
road. He had white horse, but was
hid from view on the ground near a
bridge and when the children came op
posite he got up and this caused the
black horse to run away. The chill
dren were thrown out and were more
or lessbruised, the buggy and harness
being torn to pieces. The one in
charge of the cattle was son of An
drew Nicely and as soon as the run
away occurred he rode his white horse
to the home of Mr. Hoffman to ex-
plain the trouble. The white horse
was so frightened at the black horse
that he tried to climb the barn to get
away.
Roy Stoddard has been moving the
building across the street from the
Eagle hotel, clearing the ground for
the new building, A. E. Marquardt's
new drug store, which will be com.
menced at once. He contemplates
putting up fine store.
High school exercises will be given
on Friday. Music by the Mazomanie
band.
