"Shoot Up" Town.

Lexington, KY, April 17.-Law'
lessness was triumphant in Jackson
KY, the seat of Breathitt county
on Saturday night, according to per.
sons arriving here by train to-day
who brought the first news of the
disturbance. Friends of Jason Dea.
ton, who was killed in a feud fight
with the family Of Anse White a
week ago, "shot up" the town in
Western border style, according tc
reports, riding through the streets
and firing pistols into houses indis-
criminately.
No one was hurt, according to the
information brought here, but as a
consequence of the raid the guard
about the jail, in which members OF
the White family are held, has been
increased.
Reports continue current that the
Deaton faction is planning to raid the
Jail in an effort to wreak summary
vengeance on the Whites.
The persons who gave the inform
alton of the situation asked that
their identity be kept secret as they
feared the effect upon them on their
return to Jackson. They also said
that none of the newspaper CORES
pondents in Jackson dared send out
reports of the occurrence by wire, as
all had been warned not to telegraph
any such items to outside points.

Greatest BIunder of My Life.

Our boys and girls will be interest
ed in few of the "Blunders" written
down by five hundred men:
Reading worthless books"
Did not stick to my trade"
g Did not stick to anything"
=" Did not take care of money"
Beating some out of money"
g Careless about my religious du-
ties
When I left my church and
mother"
mot saving money when l was
young"
Refused steady position with a
good firm"
The greatest blunder of my life
was gambling"
WAS to fool away my time when
was to school,"
Thinking that my boss could not
do without me-"
Would not hearken to the advice
of older people"
I" Not keeping my position, but
grew slack in my work"
When l left school before 1 was
past the fourth grade"
The greatest blunder of my life
was not accepting Christ, and there
by avoiding many sorrows caused by
serving Satin. "-Pittsburg Christian
Advocate.

FARMER" GREASY ON COOPER
ALTON.

The Changers of the State held
convention at Scranton this week.
Farmers attended from all parts of
this grand old keystone state.
Farmer" Greasy, one of the most
interested workers, takes the reader
back to the time when we had al
most primitive competition and still
everybody prospered; the producer
got more for his produce and the
consumer got better produce and paid
less for 1t. Among other things Mr..
Greasy said:
remember years ago how we
used to handle meat. The butchers,
all of them substantial business men
at that time, would buy the cattle
from us and kill them and sell them
at prices far below the prices that
prevail to-day. The butchers did
we'll in those days and the consum-
er got good meat at a low price.
Then the corporations stepped in and
telling the people they could sell
meat much cheaper because of the
big business they were doing, pro-
ceeded to squeeze out the local
butcher. If a butcher stuck to the
business they undersold him and
drove him out. Then they got duty
placed on Canadian cattle and it
was goodbye to the butcher, and the
prices went up to where they are.
They acted just like the oil peo-
pie. If a competitor fought them
they would lower their price in his
district and raise it in other places,
driving the competitor out of the
field and making their profits just the
same.
Take these breakfast foods, too.
Now there is one brand of breakfast
food (mentioning it's name) that
costs about fifteen cents a pound.
Down home we use the whole wheat,
ground and make the same kind of
a dish. What we use is good. A
man can work on it. 1t contains
every bit of good that is in the
wheat, and still it costs us only about
a cent and a half pound. You see,
there is 800 per cent. tackled on the
price of the inferior product be-
fore it reaches the city breakfast
table.
TITS just the same with agricultur-
al implements. Watered stocks
must show profit and we must pay
that profit. That watered stock is
debt on the people and the people
are paying it. It's wrong that they
should be compelled to do So"

DON'T READ
BIBLE ONLY!"
Startling Advice Given by
Episcopal Rector
HAS LITTLE RESPECT, HE DE-
CLARES, FOR PERSON WHO
ONLY READS THE BIBLE
STRONG SUNDAY NIGHT SER
MON,

Declaring that the man who only
read his Bible would be "one-sided, -
and entitled to very little respect
the Rev. "A. L. Whitaker, rector OF
Grace Protestant Episcopal church,
preached strong sermon before a
large congregation last Sunday even
ing.
Taking as his text Matthew 1925
And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell
not: for it was founded upon a
rock" Rev. Whitaker spoke in part
as follows:
1.-THE newspaper is one of the
most splendid institutions of to-day.
1t can be the very nOblest institu-
ton or the very opposite. The man
who reads only the newspaper is as
one-sided as the man who reads only
the Bible. l would have little re-
spect for the man who reads only his
Bible. He would not be in sympa-
thy with his world, He would be
shallow, one-sided.
"You must have a foundation if
your character will stand the test of
life. A good and honest builder
will give his first attention to the
foundation.
There is noUnlng SO sighted and
skimped in the world as the founda-
tion on which character is built. If
it be music lessons, parents wish
their children to play pretty pieces.
They hound the teacher to stop
teaching scales. Let us have popu-
Tar songs and gay waltzes, they
say.
America stands out for short
cuts in Law, Medicine and the
Ministry. That is the cry that goes
up. When man Sights his pre-
paration he's not the man he is
when he takes time to lay the foun-
dation.
eff a boy has a chance to start in
learning a trade at fifty cents a
week, or of starting in on machine
at $1.50 day, he takes the latter.
He buys new necktie every week,
goes to a show every night, and
spends his money badly. At the
end of ten years he would have
been better off if he had learned a
trade.
Men don't take time to learn
things. The whole tendency of our
lives is toward this superficiality. We
look on the surface and don't look
beneath. One of the faults of our
nation is to slight things, skimp
things, trying to get to the goal by
short cuts.
"In this Advent season of search
ing the hearts l want to call the
people to a realization of the neces-
sity of laying firm foundations for
doing things honestly, rightly.
''Have you been feeding your
spiritual nature on inane worthless
novels at $3.50 each? You'd better
pay that much not to read them.
Read the papers and magazines or
we shall be ignorant of the life of
our fellow-men, which is unchris-
tian."

think people take pride in the
size of their town. 1t creates a
competition between them and other
towns of a similar size. l think the
best way to create civic pride in
Honesdale would be to enlarge the
town."
In the opinion of Mayor Chas. A.
McCarty what is most needed to
create a greater civic pride among
it's citizens is to make Honesdale
larger" When seen Wednesday
morning by a Citizen man, Mayor
McCarty also suggested certain de-
sirable physical improvements in
the County Seat.
OF course" he continued, :" the
most pressing need we have is a
better condition of the streets. That
seems so threadbare and old, every
body is tired of it, Yet it's a need
that ought to be supplied, before it
can be said we have a progressive
town.
Do you enter Office with any high
ideals of what you intend to do?' he
was asked.
Il couldn't say that. I have any
definite plans," he answered, ex-
cepting as the duties of my Office de-
velop from time to time. I'm going
to take up the work where Mr.. Kuh-
bach left it off and try and go on
and make some progress"
Mr.. McCarty's term will not expire
until January, 1914. All the fines
and costs which he imposes are turn
ed over to the borough. The Town
Council fixes the amount of his nom
inal salary each year,
What can be done to arouse a
deeper individual pride in the
town." he was asked.
Il think" he replied, there is
quite pride in the town among the
individuals and citizens. 1 think
there's room for considerable i'm
provement. One thing is the care of
the trees. Each individual might
see that the trees on his premises
are better taken care of.
Throwing ashes on the streets
ought to be entirely prohibited. Ad-
vertising on the telegraph poles and
other available space around town
has tendency to make the town
look untidy. This is against the
brough ordinance and should be
stopped"

PLUCKY ACTRESS.

Miss Grace Campbell, leading lady
in 1.-THE Country Boy" which played
to a good-sized house at the Lyric
Theatre Tuesday night, is a plucky
woman. Suffering as she was from
a severe attack of La Grippe, which
the doctors warned her might de-
velop into pneumonia, she persisted
in going on the stage and taking the
part of Jane Belknap. Each act of
the -four she thought would be her
last, but with staying qualities which
would put those of many a man in
the shade, she took her part to the
last curtain, and took it so we'll that
she was forced to respond to several
curtain calls.

-IhhEE PhlSONERS In JAIL.
q" 1t looks now as if there would be
a number of cases that possibly will
take quite considerable time for
trial." said District Attorney M. e.
Simons to a Citizen man, Wednes-
day, when asked whether there
would be many cases to come before
Court in January term.
There are no capital cases." he
continued. There's the case of a
robbery at Hawley. There's the lar
ceny cases against Swartz, of Ariel.
There will be probably half a dozen
criminal cases in all.
"The calendar will be pretty full
of criminal cases, if they are any
where's near ready for trial They'll
not be able to get nearly through the
list. / think there's sixteen or sew
enteen cases listed.
THE Justices are showing some
improvement, and are returning
transcripts of cases more promptly.
81 don't think there will be as
much business at January term as
there was last January. Last Janu-
ary we had our murder case
There are only three prisoners in
Jail now. There's that Polander in
for vagrancy. There's one fellow
in from Paupack for getting money
under false pretenses. And Schim-
NELL is in jail, too. The Sheriff took
Spangenberg to the Danville Insane
Asylum this morning"

eral years past, when his compensa-

ment of the salaries of the teachers

same calendar of monthly meetings
as at present in force. This calen-
der is figured on the number of
school days, and 1t is so arranged
that each meeting comes a couple of
days before the school month ends.
By this arrangement the County Seat
pedagogues are assured that the
ghost will walk" in 1912 as reg
ularly as he did in 1911.
For, as in every other occupation,
the salary, If not the principal
thing" is still an important essen
tial.
