a. FOLLY OF LOVE,

Of the many foolish things done
through love, none is greater than
that Of parent giving up the savings
of lifetime to favorite child. This
was again demonstrated, as it has
been time and again, in the trial Of
Young VS.. Young, which ended We'd
nesday last.
The sight of an old grey-haired wo-
man appearing in court against her
youngest son was pitiful But the
lesson taught by it is the absurdity
of parent stripping herself of all
worldly possessions and trusting her
future maintenance absolutely to a
child. No doubt at the time thought
Of ingratitude did not exist, no sus-
picfon Of diminishing affection was
aroused, but time and again from the
earliest days has it been demonstrate
ed, that child's love, or a parents
consideration, diminished when the
property passes, and the sorrow and
trouble produced thereby l. one OF the
OLD, OLD stories.
We, Of course, approve of parent
being generous, but this generosity
should not be stretched to removal
of the parents control of the purse
strings. When the aged one has no
longer the pecuniary means of being
independent, the child benefited most
by the parents generosity frequently
proves ungrl teful. The last thing
that a mother or father should sac
rifice is their independence, and of all
the numerous ard many follies OF love
the greatest is that of the parent who,
for love Of child, gives up and trans
fers all the means Of providing against
want. Cupidity and love have fire.
quently been matched but the victory
is not usually on the side Of affection.

THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.

1t has been the wise policy of the
National Government for many years
to have an annual encampment at
which the guards and the militia of
the state mingle. This has resulted
in much good to the various state mil
itary organizations in our country.
Last year the encampment was held
at Boston, this year it is to be near
Washington.
The Government Is now engaged in
choosing sight The various states
interested are being requested to tell
what inducements they possess in this
line as the following extract from the
Baltimore Sun shows:
''The principal consideration in the
selection of camp site il the conven-
fence and cheapness OF transportation,
and the acknowledgement of the State
of Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Delaware and Virginia have been
requested by the War Department to
recommend suitable sites for ma
neuver camp"
Considering the present location OF
the United States troops that will par
ticipate in these maneuvers and the
various states interested in them, no
place can be found more suitable or
on an average more convenient to all
concerned than the country around
Westminster. We have here a healthy
climate, high location and d rugged
territory, unsurpassed for military
tactics. Last summers experience
with the State encampment demon
strated the fitness of this location for
military maneuvers, and we are ready
for more.
The opportunity to urge our natur-
AL claims for the selection of our 10
cality should not be neglected. Act
witty is required and everyone should
be up and doing. Such an encamp-
ment will mean more to our locality
than we can at moments thought
appreciate. 1t will last for at least
month, people will be here from all
over the world and we will have a
demonstration of the latest problems
of attack and defense I'm modern war
fare. There will be thousands of
extra people to be taken care of every
day and our community il equal to
the task.
Let US then be up and doing. No
better place than the country around
Westminster can be round for the pur-
pose, nature has given us all natural
advantages and our citizens can easily
give the conveniences required.

A lawyer came into court drunk,
when the judge said to him:

situation which is disgrace to your

which you belong"

The Boy Told the Truth.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court, says that it is usually
an easy matter to pick out the truth
among lot Of conflicting evidence.
BY way Of illustration he tells the fol-
lowing incident, which took place in a
little village near New York:
"A ouse-hunter, who had just got
off the train, stepped up to a boy
hanging around the depot, with this
salutation
My lad, I am looking for Mr..
Smithson's new block Of semi-detach-
cd houses How far are they from
here ?"
About twenty minutes walk the
boy replied.

house hunter. Nonsense The adj

tisement, but amt tryin' to make q

CAREFUL OF FISH CULTURE.
Big Results from Pennsylvania's
Hatcheries-Less Pollution OF

Big Results from Pennsylvania's
Hatcheries-Less Pollution OF
Streams.
According to the report OF State
Fish Commissioner Meehan of Penn
sylvania the work of Matching out
distributing fish during the year broke
all records. The total output from the
eight hatcheries, foors up lila, 361 ,264,
divided a. follows CORY, 1929, 300;
Erie 244,136,2 45; Bellefonte 3,577.082;
Wayne, 4S1, $3.50, 900; Torresdale 1885,
S51 1872; Union City, ISL, 10000; Craw-
ford, -91,3S5,900, and Spruce Creek,
54O,625. The catch of whitefish in
Lake Erie says the Commissioner, was
greater than in 1908. The phenomenal
run of lake herring that was so nota-
BILE in 1908 was continued last year,
and there was also an appreciate in
crease of blue pike.
The Commissioner points to the
fact that the drought in the State was
even more severe than in the previous
year, as on the rivers like the Della
ware and Susquehanna the upper
reaches were little more than creeks,
and under such conditions the angling
interests suffered.
| The last Legislature of Pennsyl
vania enacted in thef1sh laws sweep
ing prohibition against the popllution
Of streams by industrial establish
ments the act going into effect on
May /, 1900. Manifestly, says Com
missioner Meehan, the publication OF
the waters of the State cannot be ac-
complished in O short time, but there
was very fair progress made last year
in securing the observance of its pro-
visions.
While T have insisted that the law
regarding the pollution Of streams
must be observed at the earliest pos
sible moment, it has been my policy
not to unduly press the owners Of in
dustrial establishments. Such places
that it is to their financial advantage
to obey the law have been pointed out
to the owners, and the wisdom of this
course has been illustrated by the fact
that only five prosecutions had to be
instituted since the operation of the
new act, while two or three hundred
firms have put in suitable publication

COX AND UNCLE JOE.
Interesting Congressional Incident
Dating Back Over 30 Years.

"a new story on Uncle joe that l am
told never was printed was related to
me by former Gov. Benton McMillin
Of Tennessee while I was travelling
with him recently" said Representa-
tive James nj. Cox, o. Dayton, Ohio. t
1T was my first meeting with Gov.
McMillin, and my name suggested the
story. When McMillin was in the
House a number Of years ago the
brilliant Sunset Cox of Ohio was a
member of that body as was also the
present Speaker. On one occasion,
according to Gov. McMillin, Cox got
up to make a speech on some momen-
tous question.
CAS- always when Cox spoke he had
the attention of the House. He had
launched into his subject and was ad-
dressing himself to an important
phase of his speech when Uncle joe
rose and assumed the attitude that il
90 familiar to everybody.
HE jerked his hand out of his peck
ct, and pointing it at Cox, but address
ing himself to the Speaker, MIR. Car
Isle Of Kentucky, requested permits
sion to ask question. Mr.. Cox paid
no attention to Uncle joe for several
minutes, but the latter was insistent,
and finally Speaker Carlisle asked
Cox il he would yield the floor for a
question. Cox paused Tor moment,
and said
will yield to the gentleman from
Illinois for d question 0n one condi-
ton. Every time he interrupts he
draws forth his hand and points it at
me a. III h had pistol, and III fright
ems me. liz the gentleman from Illi-
nois agrees while speaking to keep
his hand in his pocket, will yield the
floor for q question.
Speaker Carlisle asked Mr.. Cannon
If H. would accept the condition of
fered, and Uncle Jce' agreed. But he
had not proceeded far when he ner-
vously drew forth his hand and again
pointed 1T directly at Cox In a mo
ment Cox was on his feet and, de-
claring that Cannon had violated his
agreement, demanded that Cannon re
sumo his seat. And Uncle joe had
to sit down. "-Washington Post

STREET CAB STRIKE.
Philadelphia fin d Riot-TrOopS Routed
12 Shot.

Four companies of state troops, the
Philadelphia Fencibles, lay close and
deep in their armories Tuesday sew
ing patches on their olive drab pants
and applying witch hazel to their
bruises. Their introduction as punt
tive force into the street-car strike
brought about the most desperate riot
SO far, and the Fencibles were saved
from a savage hammering only by the
courage Of q German ex-calvary Off
Ger who commanded a squad OF 10
mounted policemen.
All Philadelphia IL laughing over
the riot Of the "Invincibles," as
they proudly termed themselves this
morning, but the bloody fight at Ger
mantown and Lehigh avenues that re-
suited from the employment of the
Fencibles was no joke. A dozen men
were shot, at least 100 dubbed, women
were knocked down and trampled up
on, children injured and for two
hours there was fierce battle be-
tween the police and 10000 strike
sypathizers that ragged for five blocks
along Germantown avenue.

Immediately notified police headquar-

Policemen, acting on rush orders,
managed to get into the place. AS they
entered they discovered the shrieks
coming from a telephone booth. which
was locked on the outside They
opened it and found a small but highly
indignant baboon trying to make a
meal of the telephone receiver, which
he had knocked off the hook.
The police learned that the baboon
was a member OF theatrical company
which closed an engagement at a
Broadway tl1eater Saturday night. The
property man had got the proprietor
Of the grill to let him cage the animal
in the booth over night, while the COM
pany was preparing to move.
