Wing Hill.

The weather still continues to keep
cool and people have to continually keep
replenisbing their wood piles. Cellars
still freeze and people are complaining
that they cannot buy potatoes at the
stores but what have been frosted. While
it is very cold, we are looking ahead for
warmer days. ofcourse the woodchuck
was out and went back and dug his hole
deeper, but that was necessary, for if he
hadn't he would have frozen. The sleigh
ing is fine. Lots of hustling and every
body seems to be busy. No sickness to
speak of and all is right.

THAT preacher in Pittsburg who had a
member of his congregation arrested and
fined five dollars for sleeping while he
was talking may think he has won the
case, but if the sleeping was an otiense
the man talking may be justly held for
contributory guilt There are several
methods OF keeping a man awake.
BILLY" Sunday has one method, preach
ers of very short sermons have another
and preachers who say something worthy
of further thought every minute a third
The calling in of the police is also effec-
tive, but the man who is obliged TO resort
to it is not likely to bring salvation to a
great many people.-Frankliu News.

THE Brookville Democrat remarks that
ga very able bodied Roosevelt move
ment has started in this state, engineered
by William Finn, the long time poitical
enemy of Penrose. Finn declares that
Roosevelt will be an openly announced
candidate within fortnight, and already
q number OF Roosevelt candidates for
delegates to the national convention un-
der Finn tutelage have announced them
selves" But the people generally recog-
nize that the Roosevelt boom is largely a
myth, fostered by ambitious gentlemen
who have heretofore been unable TO make
connections with coveted offices, and who
want to slip in under the shadow of Mr..
Rooseyelt's coat tail. Mr.. Roosevelt is
not a candidate for President, and we do
not believe that anything but the death
or disability of President Taft would in
duce him to be candidate. -Punxsutaw-
ney Spirit. And it will be recalled that
four years ago MIR. Finn was just as en-.
thusisstic ~ for Mr.. Roosevelt at the
same time that the ex. President was do
ing all in his power for his friend Taft,
and whose friend he still continues to be.

GRAND JURY INDICTS
FORTY LABuR LEADERS
Dynamite Probe Ends at indianapolis
Conspiracy Involves 100
Explosions.

IndianaI ellis, Ind,-Union labor off,
cials and agents, said to number be-
tween thirty and forty whom the gov
ernment holds criminally responsible
with the McNamaras and Critic E. Nc
Manigal for perpetrating more than
one hundred explosions which occur
red in cities from Massachusetts to
California in the last six years, and
in which the wrecking of the Los An
geles Times Building was an incident,
have been indicted.
The Grand Jury, which has devoted
six weeKs to its investigation of the
nationwide dynamite conspiracy, took
only ten minutel to vote the indict-
ments, which fill 5000 pages of type
writing,
Thirty-two indictments were return
ed. Capiases for arrests have been
issued, and all the men indicted are to
be taken into custody on day secret
ly fixed by the government. March IL
has been set for the arraignment be-
fore Federal Judge A. B. Anderson, in
Indianapolis. The papers for the ar
rests designate the amount Of bond
which the defendants may give in the
federal districts in which they reside
for their appearance here. The
amounts of the bonds in the individu-
al cases were not made known, but it
was said they would aggregate $780,
900.
Almost all the men, it was declared,
were cit .er union officials or men who
were charged with afliliating with the
dynamiters.

PASSING of the ToIlgate.

The passing today of the old toll
gate at the northern entrance to the
city is we'll worthy Of the fireworks,
oratory, and general jubilation which
1t has inspired. Strangers entering
Baltimore by the Reisterstown road
could hardly believe that this was
really city Of the fifth order, when
a village functionary had first to lift
a bar and demand their pennies be-
fore they were permitted to enter the
sacred metropolitan confines. The
good roads movement, so intelligently
urged and fostered by Governor
Crothers and the Democratic party,
has already done more to instill life
and enterprise and new spirit into
the counties of this state than all 9TH
er movements of recent years CON-
bined. The passing of the old toll
gate is symbolical of the new order
and the larger spirit of enterprise
and progress.-Baltimore Sun.

Game All Riuht,

While playing an engagement In
st. Louis a couple of seasons ago, Tom
Lewis struck up an acquaintance with
a wealthy Texan living in the same
hotel. There was a ball game sched-
uled that day between the Browns
and visiting club and Lewis invited
his new friend to go out and see 1t.
The battle was a particularly hot
one, the game going to an eleven
inning tie. When they got back to
the hotel the Texan, who had become
imbued with some of Lewis enthusi-
asm, began to recount the scenes and
close plays of the game to the hotel
clerk.
"Well," said that worthy, I'm glad
you saw such a good game"

AN EXCLUSIVE POOR FARM
No One Can Be Admitted or Assisted
Except Those Who Once Paid
Taxes.

Providence, r. l.. enjoys the use OF
the most valuable poor farm owned by
any municipality in the world, all be-
cause Ebenezer knight Dexter in 1924
made bequest leaving a big, stone
strewn meadow and several parcels OF
land for that purpose. Today the
property is valued at no less than
$1,000,000, and is In the center OF one
of the most fashionable residence dis
tricts Of Providence. But while this
is a poor farm, It is very exclusive
one, to say the least. By the terms OF
a very rigid and iron clad will, none
can be admitted or assisted except
those who once owned and paid taxes
upon real estate in Providence or
whose father or mother was a real es-
tate taxpayer in that city. No other
Rhode Islanders and no person from
any other part of the United States
or from any foreign country may
knock at the portal to obtain admit
tance and secure shelter and food.
The Dexter asylum is more than
self-supporting. With limited at
tendance, so to speak, 1t is said that
the interest on investment or income
is enough to furnish every inmate a
trip to Europe each winter, with ac-
commodations at the best summer ho-
tells in the summer. During the hard
times in Providence, when there was
a great need of work for poor people,
an old clause in the Dexter will pro-
viding for a stone wall built around
the place was taken advantage OF and
many poor people were given work.

WHY CONDUCTOR WAS MAD
Because Youth Disowned Acqualnt-
ance With Woman Whose Fare
Remained Unpaid.

There was an uncomfortable conges-
ton at the rear end of the pay-as-you-
enter car, every one trying to get out
of the rain and mud and only a third
having their nickels ready. A young
man gave the conductor quarter, re-
ceived his five nickels and dropped
one of them into the box Here"
shouted the conductor, put in an
other nickel" What for? I amt
two people," retorted the young man
angrily.
"Well, who's that woman up there?
81 don't know. l never saw her be-
fore"
well, she didn't pay" But the in
sistent passengers demanded atten-
tion and the man at the box had to
drop the subject, although he looked
into the car later, glaring with espe-
cial disfavor at the youth who dis
owned acquaintance with the woman
whose fare remained unpaid.

MIR. j. 3. Dukes PIouahina.

In spite of the distractions of the
Tobacco company's reorganization, Mr..
James B. Duke bestows much atten-
ton upon the work of developing and
beautifying his three thousand acre es-
tate, Dukes Park near Somerville, N.
]. Not infrequently on his tours Of
inspection he personally directs the
laborers. One day he took the plough
from the hands of SLOW, awkward
foreigner, saying:
"Here, let me show you how to
plough a furrow. I've not forgotten
how l did that when / was a boy in
South Carolina"
Another day he took the place of
the boss of a gang of workmen and
before he got through he dismissed
five for inefficiency.

this preverse fowl, we fear that she will
do It. Such discovery as this can seal ce-
ly elude the grasp of the astute poultry
producer and egg embslmers. Will it be
applied practically, and, If so, will its
effects be pernicious or beneficenl? Shall
we be poisoned by both the ham and the
