'GOULDSBORO, Pa, Sept. 12.-
One of the prettiest weddings wit
messed in Gouldsboro in some time
was that of Miss Maude, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Crooks, who
was married to Allen Reaser, of
Moscow, at the home of the bride at
noon Wednesday, Sept. 6. The maid
of honor was Miss Grace Crooks, a
sister of the bride. Walter Reaser,
Stroudsburg, brother of the groom,
acted as best man. Roy Crooks and
Ray Crooks, a brother and cousin of
the bride, acted as ushers. The
bride was attired in a handsome
white satin gown trimmed with
heavy pearl passementerie and car

HARVEST GRANGE PICNIC.

Harvest Grange held their annual
picnic Thursday last when over two
hundred people gathered in Lake
Henry park to visit and hear the
speakers. The day was not very
favorable but every one who came
enjoyed the time fully.
After the grange had sung "RiVer
of Time" Hon. A. T. Searle gave an
address. The judges talk was in
his own inimitable style. He gave
some anecdotes of our judiciary
from the beginning of the Wayne
county court and followed with
sound advice to the grangers as to
the building of their order for the
future. After the grange sang
Wild Birds" Cashier Emery of the
Ariel Bank talked on Money"
His talk was to the young people
mostly on the value of money and on
being prepared for rainy day. His
talk was interspersed with some very
comical happenings at the cashiers
window. A duet by the Misses
Kathryn and Helen Ferris entitled
"Silver Threads Among the Gold"
was loudly applauded after which
Rev. e. L. Morrison of South Canaan
spoke of the saloon, its curses, and
the great work of the anti-saloon
league. Mrs. Morrison rendered a
vocal solo, 'The Days of Summer"
Harry Sampson, Master of Ariel
Grange, recited Gone With a Better
Looking Man." Miss Minnie Bud
denhagen sang temperance song
and the program was concluded by
the Grange singing Beautiful Cold

worthy lecturer, acted as chairman
while Miss Jennie Gromlich had
charge of the music and Miss Cora
Bartlow, worthy fora, was in charge
of the literary.
All the speakers were members of
the Grange and take great interest
in the work.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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 rumbling 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
its 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.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

He is a broker by trade. Also, he

myself, whom he tolerated as a sort
Of licensed and necessary evil: Bruce
Halliday, my second cousin. whose
happy-go-Iucky exploits he would
sometimes chuckIe over, and Clare
Winton, another distant cousin OF
mine from different branch of the
family. But 1t was practically imDos-
sible to know Clare and not love her
q little at least; and it was his at
dection for her, combined with his
fondness for nature, that made me
realize that he was a human being
after all. Bruce used to say to me
privately that If Uncle Abner was the
crab apple of the family tree, Clare
was certainly the peach, but I always
preferred to regard her as the jewel.
l would not uken her to a diamond
as I would Mrs. Dace, who scintillates
and dazzIes, but rather to a perfect
pearl whose beauty is soft and ema-
mates from deep within.
While 1t was easy enough to &C
count for his fondness for Clare, l
never could quite understand what a
gal like Bruce to pat on the back,
good looking and agreeable though he
is. And it puzzled me almost as much
to notice that Clare, who is high
minded and as sweet and wholesome
as fresh milk, would so readily over
look things In my cousin Of which l
knew she instinctively disapproved.
One day l spoke to her about it, l
good naturally charged her with be-
ing very fond of him, and she ad-
! mitted it with audacious sang froid.
"Of course l am. Everybody is
everything is. Children climb all over
him and stray dogs follow him home.
Why shouldn't they if he pets them?"
expostuIated But he is SO obvi-
GUS 1 might even say notorious
about his-weIl, l will call them II
nancial peculiarities. He doesn't
care who knows about them" She an
swered me as pertly as a sparrow
That's just what I like about him,
Bruce doesn't know there is such a
thing as underhandedness."
So that's the way some immaculate
women have Of sticking up for tar
nished men. It seems to be one Of
| the mysteries of the female mental
equipment which is incomprehensible
to the male mind But while I al
ways liked Bruce, we are of somewhat
different temperaments. 1 am not a
purist in any sense of the word, but
l believe in discretion. Personally l
prefer person who does the indiscreet
thing discreetly to one who does the
discreet thing indiscreetly And that
is one way in which he and I differ
Neither do l admit that it is hypoc-
risy on my part-merely discretion
1t has always seemed to me that when
two peoples characters are equal,
that whatever advantage the one
may have over the other rests with
the one who has the better reputa-
ton
Also Bruce was usually up 70 his
ears in trouble of one of two kinds
financial or feminine. But no matter
which it was, he always managed to
slip through it like an eel through oil.

improyidence.
Did you ever happen to notice
where Bruce's clothes show the first
signs Of wear?" she asked defantIy.
I admitted that had not.
Then I will tell you. It is at the
flap of his Tight-hand trousers pocket
where he carries the loose money that
he loans and gives away" So you
see her action signif1ed nothing ex-
cept another instructive desire on her
part to dy to his defense and cover
his sins of extravaganza by the man
tie Of his charities. And, of course,
| against sentiment like that logic is
useless
Then, too, when it comes to MS lit
tie love affairs Bruce is certainly a
pachyderm. You could shoot him as
full OF Cupid's arrows as you could
thrust a human pin cushion full Of
needles, and the result would be the
( same in each case. An unfortunate

pie not unlike mosquito. It annoys
them for few moments, and then an
other mosquito comes and the first
one is forgotten. With others 1t gets

few false notes through her puckered
lips than open her round throat and
let notes pour forth that would drive

the house she would come by means
of her private key with a fife of her

the uncarpeted stairs, until a final
hollow thump would announce her ar
rival at the portals of my uncIes in

CHAPTER II.

In my uncle's large front room there
was a safe that he had picked up
somewhere in the dark ages of his
youth, doubtless upon some fore
closure; and it was one of the sim
pHcities Of his complex mind that he
should cling to it with the faith which
child reposes in the toy savings
bank in which he had deposited his
treasure. 1t was a logged enough
looking contraption, and around it re-
yolve the principal characters and
events of this history as a moth cir
cles a flame. Behind the portIy doors
were kept the integrals of his fortune;
the mortgages, leases, deeds and notes
that were the material evidences Of
his possessions. While it was nearly
always practically empty of cash, at
remote intervals, and for few days at
a time only, it contained considerable
sums in specie This last happened
when he would collect the money on
mortgage or other security, and be-
cause of not feeling well would re-
ceive payment at the house instead Of
the bank. Once in a long while this
would chance to occur after banking
hours, or on a Sunday or holiday, and
in that event, after the payee had de
parted, he would give himself over to
a reyeI with the currency with all the
delight of child fondling new toy.
He did not seem to care for gold as
the stereotyped miser always does
but would nose around among the
bundles of greenbacks with the seem
ing fascination of feline for catnip.
1t was during one of these scenes
that our quarrel occurred.
