Miners Costly Gallantry.

West Salisbury, Pa, Oct. 81
Oliver Short, a Observation-Disclosures
miner of West Salisbury, has paid
with his life for his gallantry in at
tempting to defend a young girl
from the taunts of a gang of boys
about four weeks ago. Short died
Oct. II in the Passavant hospital,
Pittsburg, as the result of injuries
he sustained when struck on the
temple by heavy stone, hurled at
the boys who were teasing her by
the young woman Short was trying
to defend. Short was taken to the
hospital soon after his injury, and
several operations were performed
in an effort to save his life, but to
no avail.
Short, who was not married, had
been working in the vicinity of Jen-
ners for some time. While walking
along a road in the vicinity of his
home about four weeks ago, he came
upon a gang of boys who were taunt-
ing Miss Alice Larue, the pretty
17-year-old daughter of Elwood
Larue, who runs a saw mill. Short
paused to demonstrate with the
boys, and while doing so was struck
with great force in the right temple
by a heavy stone thrown by the
young woman, who had intended the
missile for one of the boys. The
thin bones in the side of the mans
skull were crushed and he fell to the
ground unconscious. He was re-
moved to Pittsburg as soon as local
physicians discovered the extent of
his injuries.
The affair was purely accidental
and no attempt will be made to pros
ecute the young woman

downright lie comes nearest to being
upright. Most people object to this
sort, but it is the least to be feared.
The oblique statement, the one that
hides itself behind the semblance of
verify and often assumes the guise of
pity or commiseration, is the most
subtle and the most dangerous.
Carlyle was strong in the conviction
that lie cannot live, but the class
just mentioned is endowed with re-
markable vitality. The ordinary lie
can be nailed" but the shifty sort
seldom remains in one place long
enough to be effectually spiked.
A provoking form of lie is the one
that cannot be denied, as when it is
said of a man that he would not steal
a redhot stove. The victim can only
bow in silence before the soft i'm
peachment, knowing at the same time
that its promiscuous circulation does
not enhance his reputation for hon
esty. 1t was in a somewhat similar
vein that MIR. Dana wrote to Gen.
Hancock as being good man,
weighing 270 pounds. What could
one answer to that? Though true in
n way, 1t savors more of what MIR.
Chesterton terms "the faint damns
that praise" than of profound appre-
citation.
The man who lies like a gentle
man" Is held up to appreciation by
many. Just what Is meant by lying
like a gentleman is hard to deter
mine. The sense in which it is most
generally used, however, seems al
most to Justify the cynical assertion
that society depends on appearances
rather than on realities, and that the
objectionable ofrense consists not in
doing a wrong thing, but in being
found out.
The fatuous liar and the cheerful
liar we have always with us, tiresome
but harmless, with their vain imagin-
ings reaching all the way from fish
stories to the latest cute sayings of
little Baby Bright. 1t is only neces-
| sary to leave them alone and they
will hang themselves with the rope
of their own weaving. However con-
vincing the original statement, 1t al
ways breaks down under the burden
of detail which the hapless prevarica-
tor piles upon it.
The lie of sheer kindness scarcely
belongs to the category. Poor Tom
Pinch. giving his last guinea to Mar
tin Chuzzlewit, and saying he has
plenty more is sample, calling forth
a strain of metrical prose of the kind
that subjected Dickens to the scorn of
those who think and endeared him to
those who feel: There are some
falsehoods, Tom, on which men rise,
as on bright wings, to heaven; there
are some truths, cold, bitter, taunting
truths, that bind men down to earth
! with leaden chains. Washington

SILENT SUFFERER.
Husband Refuses to Speak for
Weeks-ReSult: Divorce.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2S.-"Silence is
not always golden. Not only did
my husband refuse to speak to me
for weeks at a time, even in re-
sponse to the most trivial questions,
but he allowed me but IS a week
and then subtracted twenty-five
cents from that amount whenever he
was absent from a meal at our
home"
Thus did Mrs. Blanche Dawson
Woodland, a young and attractive
school teacher, who is living with
her father, summarize the strange al
legation that her husband frequent
tly declined to converse with her
as early as three weeks after their
marriage upon which she was grant
ed an absolute decree of divorce.
Mrs. Woodland claimed that the
alleged silence of her husband, who
she said was bank clerk, had
Shattered her nerves." and had com.
PEELED her to seek freedom from him
The young couple were married
on April 26, 1905. According tc
Mrs. Woodland, her husband had not
been living with her three weeks
when his attitude towards her became
curious.
For fancied affronts on my par
he would refuse to speak to me fol
days, even though we sat opposite
to one another at the dinner table,
she said. HE would eat his meals
in silence and, although | gave hin
no cause for his strange conduct
he would refuse to even reply to thu
most casual remark ! might make
when my husband first began t
refuse to utter a syllable while il
our house he would go whole day
without saying a word. Finally hi
periods of silence grew longer ant
several days would pass without hi
saying a word to me. Matters be
came worse when three, four, tiv
and even six weeks would go by with
out his opening his mouth.
I'VE ate together, but that mad
no difference-he would remain alb
solutely quiet. His manner becam
so unusual that / scarcely knew
what to do. Just think of beinl
alone in a house with a husband VIII
refused to even reply to the mos
casual remark. Even in the pres
ence of visitors my husband woul
ignore me and lapse into one of hi
gloomy, silent moods that eventual
left me a nervous wreck. 1t wa

SCRANTON PAPER
HELPS SCHOOL BOYS!
Gives Them Hints On Playing
Hockey.

Hockey.
According to an account in the
Scranton Times several nights ago,
Superintendent Howell says that
death in family is good excuse for
staying away from school. The
story in full is as follows:
Here's a tip, boys and girls.
If you want to leave school early
to get your Halloween fixings in
shape or to watch a red-hot game
of football between teams in the
Burdock league, scan the daily news
papers for the funeral that you
like to attend OF course, it's an old
stunt and it's been worn thread
bare by Office boys and mill girls
who work for wise bosses.
But Superintendent of Schools G.
Howell informed the principals OF
Grammar A schools recently that
there are only four legitimate ex-
cuses for pupil being excused early
from school. They are: Illness in
the family, personal illness, attend
ance at a funeral, or death in the
family.
OF course, personal illness and i'll
ness in the family can be worked in
occasionally, but the possibilities OF
the funeral stunt are practically un-
limited. Most any Willie O'Horo OF
Freddie Smith can pick out of the
obituary notices some distant rela-
tive or person of the same name who
is to be buried on the particular day
that said Willie or Freddie wants
to get out early. Add this bit of OBJ
servation to the dark and devious
methods that have always been fol
lowed in securing excuses, and the
new obstacles have been hurdled with
one bound.
Unwise advice? Well, maybe
But they'll do it anyhow, so whats
the use. You did, didn't you?

WOULD BOOM BIRTH RATE.
High Time That Young Folk Took
To WedIoCk, Saws DIR. BOsIey.

To Wedlock, Says DIR. Bosley.
A bride does not look cute" bend
ing DER the washtub. Strong must
be the love also that can survive
breakfasts cooked on range that
will not burn when the snow lies
thick on the back fence. But that
is the sort of thing that is inter-
fering with the birth rate in Balti-
more, according to Health Commis-
sioner Bosley.
THE young people of nowadays
are not marrying fast enough said
DR.. Bosley yesterday, while critically
surveying the result of the baby
census. 1T isn't like the olden
time at all. Nowadays when a young
girl gets married she wants to have
all the luxuries that her mother and
father are having"
Girls Alone to Blame? No! No!
Are only the girls to blame?"
asked the masculine questioner de-
lightedly.
"Oh, no." hastily answered the
Doctor. II guess it is partly the
fault of the young men, too. But,
perhaps it is not so much theirs as
the young women. Some years ago
when people married they started
humbly and the husband, aided by
his wife, fought his way up to lux
ury. But, bless you, now they want
to start with the luxury. The re-
suit is fewer marriages and, of
course, the birth rate suffers"
What is the antidote?"
Il don't know. That's a sociolo-
gical problem and l don't pretend
to answer it,

XMAS STAMPS NOT POSTAGE

fuse Them.

Postmasters are receiving the fol-
lowing order from the Postotfice

The following countries will admit
articles bearing such stamps, but
only when affixed to the reverse side

Articles liable to be refused ad-
mittance to any of the foregoing
countries on account of the fact that
they bear charity stamps will not be
dispatched from this country, but
will be returned to the sender, if
known. If the sender is not known
such matter will be sent to the Dead
Letter Office.
To preclude delay in handling ar
ticles bearing Christmas stamps to
be transmitted in the international
mails, the covers should bear the
full name and address of the person
sending them.
Much difficulty is experienced al
| Christmas time with these stamps
many people thinking them good fol

cles are held for postage and in
many cases sent to the Dead Letter

| for postage and in every case would

side of the package from the ad
dress. The United States govern
ment does not prohibit the placing
of such stamps on packages, but de-
sires to impress upon the minds ot
