its action, as Muhlenberg is waking

What a Muhlenberger Thinks of Our
County History.

hfeeh'lile, N.Y., july u, 1913.
Dear Rothcrt:-
\ few days ago procured a copy
of ~ History of Muhlenberg
County" consider it a wonderful
piece of work. AS look through
it realize that great amount OF
labor was required to get out this
book, and | wonder how you ever
found the time and had the patience
to do it. | wouldn't tackle a Job
like that for any sum of money.
However, | know that to you the
work has been great pleasure, and
every man must come to look upon
his work as pleasure tefore he
can ever hope to do his best.
knowing something of your method
of working. of your painstaking,
never qult-till.lt's-nght way of do
ing thing, | am in a position to
appreciate the results of your great
labor.
Your book, | find, is not history
IN the usual sense of the word. In the
first place, 1t is not volume of dry,
uninteresiing facts, nor does it con
tain long, tiresome tables of Stats
tics. 1t is the history of county's
birth and of its life, woven into a
narrative that is gripping and com
pelllng in its blgness.
In it We see The sturdy pioneers
of Muhlenberg. They were of that
type of men who, facing every peril,
every hardship, kept pushing on till
at last they claimed from the Indian
and from the wilderness a land that
has become one of the greatest ma
tions on Garth. Such pioneers, as
you have shown, played their part
in the affairs of Muhlenberg, just as
others played it elsewhere in this
country, Your story of their
achievements is credit to their
memory, and what you have written
of those who followed them is like
wise a record of which any county
could feel proud.
There should be a copy of your
book IN every home in Muhlenberg
county. Every citizen can and
should point to it with pride, for
there is no other county in the State
that can claim so complete history
1t should be read by every father
and every mother, and by every
schoolboy and schoolgirl in the
county. 1t is just as important that
we know something of our own
county-its founding and its growth
as It is for US to be familiar with
the history of our own and other
nations. We are too much given
to reaching out for things away from
home, and, in the meantime, neg
lecting much local history that is
more important and equally as in
teresting to US.
Yours is a book that every Muh-
lenberger should not only buy and
Eesd, but should preserve wI.h tie
greatest of care. | congratulate
you upon the great work which you
have done.
Sincerely
HARRY NJ. DEAN.

Good Roads Idea Gaining.

There has been wonderfully
pleasing growth in the good roads
sentiment in the county the past few
months; fos years there has been a
gradual development along this line,
and much work has been done, but
lately the idea has gathered rapidly.
The various incorporated towns in
the county pay about one fourth of
the taxes yielding funds for working
the county roads, exclusively, the
towns having to maintain streets by
special taxes for that purpose. In
addition to this, CITIZENS of the
towns have supplemented the public
funds by private subscriptions, have
worked roads free, voluntarily and
gladly, and now the farmers, rcalIz-
ing that the public funds are in
sufficient TO provide the roads we
absolutely need, are joining in the
movement, and are using the King
drag and in other ways working the
roads without expense to the public.
This concerted effort should spread
until everyone contributes to the re-
lief of our general condition and we
could soon have good highways
without anyone dong more than
fair share of the work, and To the
great benefit of all, and the advance
ment of every interest in the county.

THE TALKER" TO BE GIVEN
AT ORPHEUM THEATRE

10 1.-THE Talker," which Manager
Payton has selected for presentation
by his stock company at the Orpheum
Theatre next week, we find sugges-
tons of the part women can play in
the affairs of life and that they are
playing in the affairs of the drama.
The most thoughtful. if not the most
successful, plays within the last sea-
son or two have been written by
women. This creation, which tri-
umphed on broadway, is from the
pen of Marion Fairfax.
A wife, Kate Lennox, who has tired
of the seclusion of life in the suburbs,
belongs to a club that discusses
woman's rights. She not only talks
but writes articles on the subject.
Her husband falls under the influ-
ence of her talk and she gets it into
her silly head that every woman
has right to live her own life" The
result is that she elopes with mar
ried man. is abandoned in Chicago
and steals back home to borrow
money from her sister-in-law. whom
she starts on the road to ruin.
There are three acts. and each act
has scenes of equal Importance and
force. This play is a comedy, sa-
tire and tragedy, and should prove
one of the hits of the Payton COM
panys long list of successes.
Stage Director Lee Sterret will be
out of the cast so that he may give
every moment to the production of
1.-THE Talker." II win be put on
exactly as at the Harris Theatre, New
York.
Clifford Stork, the handsome lead
ing man of the company, has rested
up week to prepare for the difficult
role of the husband, the part in which
Tully Marshall is winning new laurels
all over the country. Miss Mabel
Brownell. the interesting and charm
ing leading woman. will have an OPP
portunity to show her ability in the
emotional roles as Kate. Miss Sadie
Radcliffe will play Jessie. Miss Ma
belle Estelle the sister-in-law, Harry
B. Roche the neighbor. who elopes,
and Joseph Girard Ned HOLSTER.

1.-THE TWO ORPHANS" WILL
BE AT JAcoBS'S THEATRE

The famous old play 1.-The Two
Orphans though no longer in its
youth, which, has lost none of it's
tenderness and pathos, will be pre-
scented next week. commencing Mon
day, March 3, at Jacobs's Theatre,
and holds the attention and the sym
pathy of the. audience from the open
ing scene at the head of the Pont
Neuf until the curtain drops on the
reunited sisters in Mother Frochard's
river Seine.
The character of the poor cripple.
Pierre Frochard, arouses the sympa-
thy Aof the audience from the start
In the last scene where he fights with
his brother. the appearance of ner-
vous strength, gradually broken down
by the more lasting power of Jacques,
is realistic in the extreme.
Henrietta and Louise, the two or
phans, win the hearts of all by their
sweetness and simplicity from the
very first. The heartrending grief of
Henrietta when she hears her sister
singing in the streets and is prevented
from going to her by the soldiers UNI
der the Count de Lineres, and the
pathetic hopelessness of Louise in the
Place st. Sulplice and the scene in
the garnet brings tears to many eyes.
The stage settings and costumes
are very good. The prettest scenes
without doubt are the gardens of the
Marquis de Pressels and the Place
st. Sulpllce. They are of widely
different nature, but equally attrac-
tive to the eve.
Matinees will be given daily
