AS a young girl Mrs. Tener was
Miss Harriet Day, of Haverhill,
Mass, marrying Mr.. Tener in Octo-
Der, 1883, and residing for a year
and half afterwaTd in Pittsburg.
Later they went to Charleroi where
Mr. Tener opened the First National
Bank. A woman of varied interests
she has been active in church and
charity work and the chairman of
the Juvenile Court Committee in
Charleroi for some time. AS the
great lady" of the town Mrs. Tener
was at the head of all social affairs
and arranged dances for the younger
set, in which she delighted to par
ticipate. Both the Govern~-- and
Mrs. Tener are members of the
Episcopal Church and will attend
st. stephens during their residence
here. While Mrs. Tener was in har-
risburg only once before, she is de-
lighted with what little she has
seen of the place and has heard
much of the hearty welcome to be
given her by Harrisburg people with
whom she will be so closely con-
nected.
A residence in Washington during
her husbands term as Congressman
has especially fitted her for the po-
sition to which she has been called,
and the social life at the Mansion
will receive an impetus which it
has not had since the Hastings and
Stone administrations. Mrs. Tener
has made no special plans for a So
cial campaign but says the regula-
tion official receptions will be given
and later many small ones arrang-
ed. She will have the same "at
home" days as Miss Stuart, the first
and last Wednesday of each month,
and will make the affairs real social
instead of the formal ones so often
encountered in official circles
Mrs. Tener loves to entertain and
delights not in crowds but in the
little parties and dinners where one
can become more intimately ac-
quainted with each other. While
the Governor and Mrs. Tener have
no children there are many nieces
and nephews who will make fire.
quent visits here and dances and
various events will be given during
their stay.
Mrs. Tener is an excellent house
keeper and much interested in that
part of her domain, and has brought
with her from Charleroi many of
her household treasures, which will
give touch of nominees to the liv-
ing rooms of the mansion. She is
well dressed woman, her costumes
being part of her and always in
excellent taste.
At the inaugural exercises this
morning she wore a brown velvet
dress with touches of Persian on
the corsage, a seal skin coat and hat
to match. This evening she will
wear a handsome creation of a
white cashmere de sole over silk, en-
Princess with gold trimmings.
Mrs. Tener arrived in the city yes
terday at noon going at once to the
Executive Mansion where, after
luncheon she assumed possession
and has as her house guests: Mr.. and
Mrs. George E. Tener; Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Jones, Miss Roberta Jones;
Mrs. James Smith, Pittsburg. Her
brother, A. w. Day and Mrs. Day
of Charleroi; her sister, Mrs. C. E
Miller and Mr., Miller, Columbus, O.;
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walton and
their daughter, Mrs. Hill, Philadel
phia.

Washington, d. C.-The cordial
expressions of regard for John X.

resignation went into effect on Mon

many of his friends in the House
wired him congratulatory messages
in which they predicted that his ad-

Honesdale people will be interest
ed to know that the first Harrisburg
woman to greet Mrs. John Kingley
Tener as the wife of Pennsylvania S
new Governor, was Miss Cora Lee

graph" the big Republican daily of
the capitol city. Miss Snyder was
granted an interview Immediately af-
ter the Teners took possession of the

The Business Of Life.

Life Is a business we are all apt to
mismanage. either living recklessly
from day to day or suffering ourselves
to be guiled out of III moments by the
inanities of custom. We should de-
spise a mar who gave as little activity
and f~orethought to the conduct Of any
other business. But in this, which Is
the one thing of all others, since 1t
contains them all, we cannot see the
forest for the trees. One brief i'm
preston obliterates another. There is
something Supplying in the recurrence
Of unimportant things. and it is only
On rare provocations that we can rise
to take an outlook beyond daily con
Germs and comprehend the narrow linn

FIGHTING NATURE.
What One Mans Patient Effort Wrung
From a Desert In France,

From a Desert In France.
In the southwest of France, between
the rivers Adour and Garonne, are
long stretches of pine woods, green
and cool.
Where these pines now stand was a
barren waste in the middle of the last
century. Sun and wind wed with each
other in making the and drier and
dustier. Over the stormy bay of Bis
cay came winds that set up great
sandstorms and sometimes buried
whole villages. The whole region was
one of hopelessness and despair. Fate
was against it.
But finally there came a man who
acknowledged fate only as something
to be overcome. This man. one Bre-
monitor. was an inspector of roads.
He began fencing in the desert. He
built a fence and behind it planted
broom seeds. Behind the broom seeds
he put seeds Of the pine. The fence
protected the broom seeds. and the
broom grew. Then the broom in it's
turn afforded shelter to the delicate
pine shoots.
Soon the pines spread. and their
tough roots bound IL" . "Gy soil to-
gether. The first step was accomplish,
ed. Then canals were made to drain
the wet parts and carry water to the
dry.
Thus did one man by patient effort
turn a dreary desert into a home for
an industrious and healthy population.
It was an instance Of triumph over
fate.-New York Tribune.

KITCHEN FLOOR
Set or Fire by Live Goals iron, Stove Slight Damage to the Green House.

n small ffrs in one Of the tAne1nents of the green house at the south end of the White row, owned by the Danielson Cotton company, chased the volunteer fremen out of their cosy homes at 323 Saturday morning, when an alarm was sent in from box 25 at the corner of Main and Water streets. It was dark as it ever Is at just that particular time, and getting the apparatus to the point where it was needed over streets that were glare ice was anything but an eDviabls task. The fire did little damage and the firemen a little more, but what they did was necessary They were obliged to cut out some of the flooring in the kitchen of one of the tenements to get at the fire, which had originated near the kitchen stove, probably by live coals falling upon the floor, through which they had eaten, developing 8 blaze beneath, which was making progress where 1t was hard to get at. The alarm was the first of the year and likewise the first for many moRths.
