Old Pennsylvania Fiddler Delights ir
Telling of Days When Dances
Were Lively.

Pennsburg, Pa.-One of the oldest,
most numerous and influential famil-
les in the Perkiomen valley and just
across the line of Montgomery, in
Hereford township, Berks county, is
the Gerry clan, whose progenitor was
Michael Gerry, who settled at Palm,
near here, in the dawn of the eigh-
teenth century. He, with Peter HiIle-
gass, nephew of Michael Hillegass,
the first treasurer of the United
States, was a pioneer linseed oil manu-
facturer in this section
Epraim Gerry, son of Michael, who
is ninety-two years of age, in his
youth was teamster for his father and
Hillegass, and made weekly trips by
team to Philadelphia, Is years ago,
with oil, returning with flax seed and
the necessaries of life, as was the Gus
tom in those days. On these trips Mr..
Gerry says he used to take with him
feed for the horses and victuais for
himself, as well as bedding, so as to
sleep on the floors of the barrooms
along the route.
Mr.. Gerry voted for President Van
Buren, in 1910. The old man is hale
and hearty and a favorite with the
community, because of his cheerful
disposition and his love of good sto-
ries, of which he has ready fund.
The one story of his interesting life
which the nonogenarian is fond of re-
lating is his experiences as fiddler
at the frolics rs years ago Mr.. Gerry
in his younger days was possessed of
prodigious strength, and was the IA
vorite musician at old-fashioned
dances for two reasons. In the first
place, they liked his fddling, and then
again whenever a rowdy tried to break
up dance, as was the custom, the
husky fiddler would quietly lay down
his violin, grab the bully and throw
him out of the place.

MUSIC BRINGS CURE
Rhythm Charms Disease of At
fIicted Little Children.
Wonderful Results Obtained by Use
of Melody in Treatment of In
fantiIe Paralysis, Heretofore
Considered Incurable,

London = The wonderful results
which can be obtained from the scien-
tifc use of music and rhythm in in
fantile paralysis were the subject of
an impromptu demonstration at the
Tiny Tim guild, an institution in City
road, London, for the treatment Of
paralyzed children who are consid-
cred incurable at the general hospi-
tails
The first patient was a boy of 6,
whose right arm had b&a totally
paralyzed following an attack of acute
infantile paralysis. A drum and his
zeal for beating it in time so as to
become professional drummer when
he grows up have been his salvation.
What massage and electrical treat
ment alone could not do, constant
working at his drumming has accom-
plished, and now the paralyzed arm is
almost as useful as the other.
The second case was a child of 8,
who six months ago was totally para
lyzed in both legs. Her treatment con
sisted of marching" to an inspiriting
tune played on the piano, while seated
on the edge of low wooden chair.
'The secret of the treatment" Miss
Hawthorne, the founder of the guild,
explained, lis to make them build up
the strength of the paralyzed muscles
and nerves by encouraging them to
use their limbs in the way each indi-
viduai likes best. The music keeps
their interest up and prevents their
becoming bored and tired.
The most interesting case was a
girl Of 10, who three years ago was
refused admission at one of the great
London hospitals as being hopelessIy
incurable. On being brought to the
guild, so her mother explained, the
right leg and arm were almost use
less, while paralysis of certain of the
th,-0at and tongue muscles rendered
the childs speech almost incoherent.
Dull and mentally deficient in many
ways, her interest in musical sounds
gave the clew to the treatment. Sing
TO pronounce the vowels correctly, the
semi-paralyZed muscles had to be
used, while wooden clapper and a
bell to be sounded by the paralyzed
foot and arm respectively completed
the apparatus.
The other day, after almost three
years at the guild, this patient. now a
normal looking little girl, sang a
number of songs in rich, full voice,
pronouncing the words faultlessIy,
and then, as grand finale, she skip
ped the rope to show the marvellous
control the musical treatment has
gained over the injured limb muscles

A New Temperance Movement.

'ECatch-my-PaP' is the unique name
of a remarkable temperance move
ment which has been working a won
derful transformation III the North
of Ireland during the last six months
1t was originated by Rev Robert J.
Patterson, of Armagh, who is a
shrewd and witty Irish orator.
One day last July this clergyman
persuaded twelve hard drinkers in the
city of Armagh to sign the pledge
Before parting with them he said:
Now perhaps each of you could
bring a pal to my house tomorrow
and induce him to sign"
L think l can catch my pal" said
one of the men, and that was the
origin of the "Catch-my-PaI" move
ment now sweeping over the North of
Ireland.
Scarcely town or village in Ulster
is without an enthusiastic band of
members each of whom wears an
enameled brass button bearing the
words, "Catch My Pal Union" The
public houses in many of the provin-
cial manufacturing towns have lost
fully so per cent of their trade. OF
the 5000 inhabitants of Cookstown,
County Tyrone, over 700 men Joined
the union in November and Deem
Der, and the percentage is equally
great in other towns
Missionaries have been sent already
to the West of Scotland, and the
movement has already taken strong
root even in Glasgow In the latter
city the originator inaugurated the
movement himself at a great Sunday
afternoon meeting. At the close of
his address two hundred men gather
ed around him, and, with uplifted arm,
recfted the pledge after him, and then,
with closed fist and determined voice,
all declared: 1--WE will see this thing
through"

OphthaImic Surgeon Tests Eyes OF 400
Animals and Birds and Could
Remedy Defects.

London.-Lfndsay Johnson. the we'll
known ophthalmic surgeon of Caven-
dish square, has now employed the
ophthalmoscope upon 400 animals of
different kinds-lions tigers, reptiles,
cats and birds. Assisted by A. w.
Head, the artist, he has completed
over 1000 drawings of animals eyes,
in addition to large number of pho
tographs
Mr.. Johnson examined the eyes of
every animal in the zoo, except the
giraffe, and could now furnish spec
tacles for all which have defective
sight
A raven, which was operated upon
for cataract, has actually been pro-
vided with spectacles, which are fitted
to the eyes by means of a kind of
hood. The improvement in its sight
was obvious. Food mixed with sand
was placed before it, and the bird at
once began to pick out the edible mat
ter.
The examination of so many ami
mails was not accomplished without
many interesting and dangerous expe-
riences. A puma, which had been
taught by its owner to box, was one
of the patients. A pair of boxing
gloves was put on its paws to prevent
it from using its claws, and when Mr..

wish me 20 find purchasers for the lots
and sell them out SO as to bring You
the money in a lump. How much do

There was an inquiry in his words
and his eyes questioned BaIcomb in a
way that made the young man wonder.
It is not the part of what is known as
a good trader to show anxiety, and the
old mans tone and look were not vast
ed on Balcomb. The young fellow knew
a great many things about human ma,
ture, and ever since he had seen Ezra
Cameron enter the brokers' Office he
had set the old man down as fraud.
The reason Cameron gave for turning
the lots over to him to sell was hardly
convincing. BaIcomb was nothing if
not suspicious, and it occurred to him
at once that Cameron was in straits;
and at the same moment he began to
devise means for turning the old mans
necessities to his own advantage.
Here is a plat of the property. Sup
pose you study the matter over and let
me know whether you care to attempt
the sale"
AS you wish, Mr.. Cameron. I'll
come in, say, tomorrow at this hour"
Very We'll" said Cameron. coldly
Il don't want you to undertake the
matter unless you can handle it in
bulk"
The Cameron addition of fifty los
was an inheritance from old Roger
Merriam, Zelda Dameron's grandfath-
er. 1t had been part of Margaret
Dameron's share of her fathers estate.
and was held by Ezra Cameron in trust
for Zelda. Manufacturing interests
had lately carried improvements that
way, but Dameron's efforts to sell lots
had not been successful, as his prices
were high and the menace of expensive
improvements gave pause to the work
ing people who were the natural buy
ers. Then Cameron hadp become in
terested in larger matters than the
peddling of lots, and he had given no
serious thought to selling until he felt
the need of obtaining more ready mon
ey for use in his speculations.
At BalcOmb turned to go a boy came
in with a telegram. 1t was from bro
kers in Chicago through whom Dam
eron was trading in grain. The market
had opened wildly on news that the
drought had done little actual damage
to the corn crop. An hour later he was
advised that his margins had been
wiped out; he made them good from
funds he was now carrying in Chica-
go and ordered the sale Of unimpeach
able securities to replenish his account.

and is excellent company for the multi

ents any worry, but instead is full of
animal spirits and strength. She has
been trained after the manner of the
Scotch and is thoroughly unaffected
She has her fathers keeness of mind.
Several years ago she gave her parents
much worry. She sprained her ankle
in Skibo castle and for more than a
year she was compelled to wear a
brace. 1t was feared she might be a
cripple permanently. That trouble,
however, was cured and the girl who
some day may inherit more than $780,
100000 now is thoroughly strong.

GroWths Which Exhaust Trees

The growths which spring up near
plum and other fruit trees and roses
have an exhausting effect, and are
rightly termed suckers. They should
be carefully cut away from their point
of origin, removing little soil for the
purpose.
1t is useless to cut them off near the
ground; remove the soil down to the
root from which they spring, and make
clean cut with sharp knife 1t may
be stated that the principal cause of
the appearance of suckers around fruit
trees is the damage done by digging
among the roots of the trees with the
spade.
When carelessly used the SPADE
scrapes the surfaces of the thicker
roots, and from these wounded sur
faces the suckers spring. When roses
throw up suckers around their base it
is owing to the non-removal of the
buds in preparing the stocks before
lanting.-Denver Times
