FOR WHOM is THE HOME?

"This home exists for the children"
l once heard a father say, with an air
of having pronounced a decision in
court. The man was judge on the
bench and rather given to oracular
statements in the family. He had
risen rapidly in his profession, but 1
could not agree with him when saw
that his children under seven were
helped at the table before their mother
and grandmother and several guests
had received the slightest attention.
The little sentence was apologetic and
accompanied by a smile, but the ador-
alton for children thus expressed was
a sign of weakness. Not so had the
foundations of character been laid for
the successful barrister in his early
home among the granite hills of New
England.
For whom does the home exist? Not
alone for a husband, for a wife or a
child, but for each and all who dwell
together, united by ties of blood and
common affection, who know one an
other as only those can who meet in
the informality of daily companion
ship and whose interests are subtly
blended United we stand, divided we
fall" may be W ritten over every
hearthstone In a childless home hus
band and wife or brothers and sisters
have continual need of refreshment and
reinforcement in all that makes for
strength, faith and hope, and the
home exists just as much for them as
it does for the parents who have their
children to bring up and educate for
their share in the worlds work. If l
can show you what l mean, it is this:
No Individual has the privilege of
dominating a home.-Woman's Home
Companion.

FIREPLACE NECESSITIES

In choosing your fireplace fixings''
see to it that they harmonic with the
character of the room. The designs in
andirons and fire sets are innumerable,
from the simple Colonial, which are so
beautiful, to the most ornate and
sometimes even grotesque.
In material we have brass both in
the bright finish, which, If properly
lacquered does not need polishing, and
the dull satin finish, which is used
so much in artistic fixtures and hard
ware.
If you prefer it, you will find many
handsome copper designs. These are
very popular and are extremely beau
tiful with the freight flickering on
them.
Many people choose the wrought iron,
which comes in charming designs and
are suitable for many rooms.
Beside the andirons and fire sets you
will need fire screen and a spark
guard, which should all be of the
chosen metal. These spark guards are
wonderfully useful in protecting the
floor as well as yourself from stray
sparks.
If you care to you may find hand

TAKING NO CHANCES

In recounting the virtues of the lately
deceased millionaire, Thomas l.. Walsh,
one of his biographers relates how
that he first went into the saloon busi-
ness in a western town, but that, find
ing it was not clean business, he very
soon disposed of his stock and good will
and took up another calling. Which
reminds us very forcibly of the story
of the young lady who was converted
to Methodism. Previous to her con-
version she had been a great lover and
wearer of jewelry, but when she found
that that kind of thing dragged the
soul down to hell she gave all of her
Jewels to her younger sister.

HEALTH OFFICERS REPORT

Health Officer Benton b. Brown,
who in addition to his duties in the
borough, is charged with the enforce.
ment of the sanitary laws in Mahon-
ing, Cooper and MaybeIry townships,
yesterday stated that at no time in his
recollection has the general health in
the rural communities been better
In the three above named townships
there is not a single case of communic-
able disease. The last card-belonging
to case of typhoid fever-was taken
down yesterday. Whooping cough,
which was epidemic in Mahoning
township last summer, has been entire
ly stamped out.
Neither are conditions bad in the
borough. There are probably few
cases of whooping cough and other
communicable diseases, but scarcely
enough to cause comment. The employ
ment of a medical inspector for the
schools has proven wise measure,
making it possible to detect disease in
its incipiency and thus probably to
forestall epidemics.

HIGHEST SINCE JUNE

The river is falling again after hav-

June Goth. At that date the water
reached a height of feet. inch. The
water reached low water mark in
August and during three months fol-
lowing it scarcely varied four inches
in height.
AS result of the snowfall, which
about the headwaters was of consider
able extent. the river Monday attained
height of feet, inch. According
to the measurements of the u. S.
Geological survey one and seven tenths
feet marks low water.
The water is much discoloIed with
coal dirt and the crew at the water
works is kept busy washing the filter

NO RETURN JUDGES

Ii developed last evening ttat,
through an oversight, the vote ot Col

i'll congress will not be counted

atorial and congressional return judges
from Columbia county and consequent
ly that county has not been represent
ed at the meetings of the return judges
that have been held at Sunbury and

As Judge Evans was away on a
hunting trip it was impossible to reach
him, and as the time for certifying the
election at Harrisburg expired yester-
day, the vote of Columbia county for
these two offices will not he counted.
This practically disfranchises Colum-
bis county voters as far as the offices
of State senator and congressman are
concerned. Had the race for either
office been "a close one, the trouble that
would have developed can easily be
imagined

TO IMPROVE DRAINAGE

The borough has force of men at
work sinking iron pipe under the paw
ing on Mill street for the purpose OF
taking care of the surface water that
comes down on the south side OF Cent
er street.
Up to the present the drainage wat
er has been taken across Mill street on
the surface. The drainage has been
imperfect, however, and has caused
much complaint. When freezing oc-
ours, especially, conditions are bad on
Center street east of Mill.
By sinking a pipe of sufficient cap
acity all the water coming down the
south side of Center street will be cal
ried off underground obviating an ov'
erfiow, which not only caused trouble
on Center street, but also kept the
paving in bad condition.

ed in digging up the paving, which il

alities in assessments:
1.-The taxpayers of Riverside, this
county, sent delegation of citizens
to Sunbury the other day to protest
against the assessment of real estate
in that district. If we had board of
county assessors who would make the
assessments for the whole county it
could not only be done fairly and uni.
formly but it would prevent an end
less amount of contention and some
times litigation. With local assessors of
varying Judgment, intelligence and
honesty there has never been a uni
form assessment in any county in the
state, and never will be. And u board
of county assessors could be maintain.

the institute opens the new course of
study will be adopted in all the rural
schools. He thinks it probable, how.
ever, that the teachers in some cases
will need instructions before they will
be able to carry out the new work full
ly as intended he will therefore, de.
vote portion of the time to that sub
ject, for convenience cutting the in.
