BE NEIGHBORLY!
Don't Quarrel Over "The Next Door
Fruit Tree"

Fruit Tree"
The next door fruit tree, growing
so near the line that laden branches
extend over the fence, has proved
source of untold spankings to the
small boy, quarrels between other
wise good neighbors and even resort
to the police courts. One is inclined
to suspect that the original apple
tree of trouble hung over a neigh
boris fence.
The cause of friction is, of course,
the question of the ownership of or
at least the right to take and use the
fruit on the too widely spread
branches. Generally this fruit is
claimed by the person whose proper
ty is thus invaded, but if he asserts
this claim to the point of gathering
the fruit without permission he may
feel the iron hand of the law, says
Harper's Weekly. If he objects to
the presence of the branches which
extend over his property the owner
OF the tree must remove them. But
If the owner of the tree applies for
the fruit or asks permission to enter
and take it the owner of the land
over which the branches extend can
not refuse permission for entry for
this purpose. If he refuses either
to hand over the fruit or to allow
the owner of the tree to enter and
take 1t, then the owner of the tree
may enter without permission, but
he must use no force nor commit any
| damage in so entering.
Certainly the most neighborlJ
thing to do would be to divide thai
fruit.

This Imperfect World.

If there is anything this great and
free country suffers from 1t is too
few laws regulating the personal
habits and tastes of it's men, wom-
en- and children. 1t will never be set
right until the state asserts stricter
control of the private affairs of it's
citizens. Fortunately an earnest
class of progressive thinkers is
everywhere at work striving to coerce
individual conscience, to dictate how
the individual woman shall and shall
not dress, to decree how the individ-
ual man shall and shall not eat and
drink, and to decide for him how
the individual worker shall earn his
living on weekdays and take his
pleasure on holidays.
In Massachusetts a solicitous leg
islator proposes to define what shall
be the legal length of woman s
skirt. In Indiana another desires to
lay down the legal principle that one
man shall be permitted to buy only
lemonade when his next-door neigh
Dor takes beer. In Missouri a third
seeks to prescribe in what terms of
speech and what tone of voice a
ticket agent shall reply to traveller
asking for information. Within the
next few weeks every Legislature in
session between the Atlantic and the
Pacific will probably have similar ex-
periences with the unquenchable
passion for, reforming somebody
else's conduct.
This world is still far from per-
feet. People are what they are,
parts of an unregenerate race given
to wanting their own way in spite of
the unceasing efforts of meddlesome
busybodies. But the restless who
plan to govern everybody's personal
conduct by fussy laws must not de-
spair. If everybody complied with
all their notions their occupation
would be gone, and in their pursuit
of happiness there would be nothing
left for them to do but to pick a
perfectly proper, prudent and tenn
perate world to pieces again.-New
York World.

GOVERNOR TENER COMMENDED.

GOVERNOR TENER COMMENDED
Governor Tener's attitude on good
roads and taxation was heartily
commended by the State Board of
Agriculture in the following resolu.
ton:
1--WE heartily endorse the sem
timents expressed by Governor
John *. Tener before this body,
namely, that roads should CON
meet with county seats and run
at right angles instead of par
allel with the railroads.; that
the State should have some
well devised system of road
building; and that all revenues
should be used to relieve To-
cal taxation"

to, and exceeding the anticipations
of his warmest admirers. His sys.

arrested in New York city the other

testified upon their trial that they

that it would have been impossible
for them to procure them at home.

Bills For $1,000, 200.

Harrisburg, Pa, January IS
This week marked fairly good be-

intosthe Legislative bodies, particu-
larly those providing for the appro-
priation of money. With an eye to
the main chance, a number of men,
bers have endeavored to gain some
advantage by putting in early the
bills calling for appropriations to
hospitals, homes, ETC., but to no
avail. All such bills go to the COM
mittee on appropriations, whose
chairman, DR.. Woodward, of Allie
gheny, will see that none are given
any undue advantage. Further, the
probabilities are that the bills for
the support of the state government,
the schools, the judiciary, the purely
state institutions and appropriations
of statewide interest will be taken
care of first. Then calculation will
be made to ascertain what amount
of probable revenue is available for

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus-
ed by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a Tumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured

Proposed Automobile Tax Increase

Local automobile owners view
with disapproval the proposition of
Senator McNichol to introduce into
the legislature bill placing a tax
of 500 year on all automobiles in
Pennsylvania. The tax at present
depends upon the horsepower of the
machine, and is either S5, $40 or
SIS.
The owners of autos think this is
sufficient tax and while they are not
making any objection to the present
law they most decidedly object to
500 tax laws, particularly when
Senator McNichols plan will not
place any portion of this $100 in q
