Clyde Fitch's Joke.

"Clyde Fitch was an indefatigable
worker" said an actor who has played
in many of the Fitch comedies. When
he had play on the stocks he would
labor over it day and night, often
scarcely pausing for his meals and
getting very little sleep; consequent
ly his health suffered. He would work
until on the verge of a nervous break
down. and then his physician would
step in and force him to knock off.
During one Of these periods Of en-
forced idleness he was lOunging in the
Players club one day when Harry b.
Smith, the prolific comic opera libret-
tist. strolled in.
"What are you doing nowT asked
Smith.
~ am in my doctors hands. replied
Fitch. He tells me I'm in bad way
and has absolutely forbidden me to do
any brain work
THAT'S tough said Smith. How
do you manage to put In the time?
"Oh. I'm writing the libretto of a
musical comedy" replied Fitch, with
one of his cynical smiles. New York
Times.

The Ham Fair at Paris.


A feature Of Parisian life is the ham
fair which is held ON the Boulevard
Richard LIE Noir. The name of this
fair is wholly misleading, for as far
as l have ever seen hams are the very
last thing any one ever buys there.
Old brass and copper curios. quaint
Jewelry, rare china, lace, tapestries
and books are what most people 20
out to seek, and sight not to be easily
forgotten is the long, wide boulevard
lined with ramshackle stalls laden
with every possible kind of lumber and
presided over by the most rapaeious
of brocanteurs. Out of piles of value
less lumber Americans and English
diligently seek for their pet kind of
curios. and there is not an artist in
Paris who cannot point to seme bit
of furniture IN his or her studio and
say with pride. Il got that for 8 francs
at the ham fair" No one ever pays
more than 3 francs. notice, but, alas,
every year these five franc bargains
are becoming more rare, and even as
housekeeping In Paris grows more and
more costly so does the furnishing of
ones house to keep.-London Queen.

Moving Books.

Many persons complain that their
books suffer IN transit. The head OF
moving company was interviewed OH
this subject. ard he said: After scv.
eral years experimenting with differ.
ent things for the best conveyance of
books | have found that the use of
small boxes is by far the most advis-
able, the smaller the better. These
boxes are easily secured for a few
cents from your grocer. For storage
purposes, where the matter is left to
US, we move books in long. narrow
boxes fitted with handles made espe.
cially for this purpose. but this is not
necessary, of course, for the ordinary
moving. Barrels simply ruin books,
and large boxes filed with heavy vol
umes have caused more than one strike
among our men. They are the clum-
siest of all things to handle, as well as
the heaviest"
Another mode of moving books is to
tie them up in small bundles with stout
wrapping paper and heavy twine, leav.

FIRST DIVIDEND
OF THE s. B. 8 B.

From Williamsport comes the follow
ing regarding the declaring of di-
vidend on the stock by the S. b. g. B,
that will be read with some interest
in Montour county:
"A meeting of the board of direct.
ors of the Susquehanna, Bloomsbury
& Berwick Railroad company was held
at the general offices of the company
in Williamsport Saturday morning and
at that meeting semi-annual divid-
end of one per cent. was declared ON
the stock. payable July 1st.
"The stock of this company is large
ly held in that city and this will be
welcome news to the holders of same.
This dividend is paid in addition
to large amounts paid out for improve
ments, building bridges, purchase of
rolling stock, new rails, etc. The road
is now up to Pennsylvania Railroad
company standard of construction.
THE officers of the company are j.
Henry Cochran, president; Seth T.
Mccormick, vice president; S. B.
Haupt, general manager; Charles
Cochran, secretary and treasurer. "
That reads very nicely and of course
will be good news to lots of the people
particularly those who have been pick
ing up this stock around five and six
dollars per share, at which rate the
stock pays about twenty per cent. of
the investment. ....
This is the first dividend that this
road, which III times past has been
called the Weak and Weary" has
ever paid. 1t has gone through at least
two foreclosure sales and it appeared
to be absolutely impossible to earn the
interest ON the bonds until the present
management took charge of it, and
built the extension into rwick and
thus got share of the immense bust
ness of the American Car and foundry
company.
Numerous attempts have been made
to buy this road but the holders of the
majority in interest have steadfastly
refused to sell at any thing like the
figures offered, and it begins to look
now as though the insiders knew their
business.
The bonded Indebtedness of the road
is $3.50, 900 and the amount of stock
outstanding is 81 900, 600, and not a
cent OF it-or rather drop of it's
water either.

AN ORPHANS
BEAUTIFUL LIFE

The Orphanage Bugle Notes, a
monthly paper issued by the Odd Eel
lows orphanage, near Sunbury, con-
tains the following article relating to
Ralph Lenhart, the Danville boy who
died recently at that institution:
Ralph Lenhart died on May Goth He
was born at Danyille May 20, 1896. He
was admitted to the Home from Myrtle
lodge Aug. 9th, 1904, his father and
mother both being dead. He was new
er strong and for the past three years
has suffered intensely at times from
heart trouble. During the past winter
he has been unusually well and has
been able to be out of doors nearly ev-
cry day. On Tuesday evening he was
taken suddenly ill and although a ply
sician was at once summoned he stead
lily grew weaker until the end, Friday
at P NJ.
He was always patient; happiest
when he was with the boys; and his
enforced inactivity has made him
thoughtful far beyond his years Every
one was fond of him and the many
special privileges granted him were
never resented by child in the Home.
A common sight was Ralph carried
on the soulders of strong boy, up and
down the stairs, to the ball diamond
or pigeon houses or wherever he wish
ed to go. His life was short, but he
taught lesson of patience and his
weakness was a school in unselfishness
to his playmates.
During the last night of his life in
his hours of Weakness he asked for a
story. We told him of the tender Shep-
herd who gathers the tired little lambs
in his arms and carries them in his
bosom, We told him of the Home
where there shall be no more death
nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain y y y And there shall be
no night there; they need no candle,
neither light of the sun for the
Lord God giveth light "Oh l am so
tired, " he said, land the nights are
so long, l wish Jesus would take me
in his arms and carry me, and we
believe He has.
The funeral services were held from
the Home on Monday at eleven o'clock,
interment at Danville. Rev. E. H.
Gerhart officiated and four of our
boys, Evan Jones, Clarence Miller,
Reginald James and William Cries
haber acted as bearers
Beautiful floral tributes were sen t
by friends and from the Home Only
once before in the history of the Home
has death visited our midst and it was
( a sad procession that followed the lit

MERITORIOUS WORK

st. Joseph's parochial school closed
on Friday Especial interest attaches
to the school this year. by reason of
the splendid showing made by the
commercial department, which COM
pletes its first year.
The work done by the pupils, which
is displayed in the school building
has been viewed by a large number of
persons. Every specimen is striking
example of merit, attesting alike to
the aptness and diligence of the pupils
and the thoroughness and painstaking
care of the teachers.
The branches taught relating strict
ly to the commercial course are pen
manship, shorthand and typewriting,
arithmetic. spelling, commercial law
and rhetoric. The neatness and the ac-
curacy of the work is remarkable.
This is especially true of the penman-
ship, embracing the Palmer method of
muscular movement business writing,
which has TO be seen to be appreciat-
ed
Specimens of work produced by two
pupils-Helen Frances Marks and
Mary Josephine Guinee-were for
warded to A. N. Palmer, the author
of the system, who readily granted a
diploma to both.
The work in all the grades is equal
ly meritorious. Free hand drawing,
which is taught in all the rooms, in
the eighth grade is remarkable feat
ure of the exhibit. The drawings,
finished in charcoal, are displayed on
the walls, as one enters the room they
instantly command admiration. In the
eighth grade the class in Irish history
has produced very fine work. In all
the grades composition receives due
attention and some of the most remark
able work is in this line.
