BETTER THAN RICHES.

The desire to accumulate something
for ones children is most commenda-
BILE one, but it is well to bear in mind
that one Of the very best things that can
be given to the children personally. is
good examples, kind words and thought
full teachings. A very sensible writer re
Gently said about this most important
subject: Children must be taught what
the parents wish them 10 know Teach
them truthful, gentle ways and then they
will be true and gentle. If a boy learns
bad language from his father. he will re-
peat it just as certainly as he has tongue
IN his mouth, and if a little girl hears her
mother gossip she will gossip Just as soon
as she meets a playmate. People who
devour their food like cattle must not ex-
pect their children to have good table
manners. Gentlemen and good women
are home made There is nothing. on
earth for which one ought to be more
thankful than for having been brought up
in the atmosphere OF pure and good
home. Such home may be narrow and
even hard, and it may be deficient in the
material comforts. A man as sturdy as
an oak, once said: 81 was the son of
poor parents. and from my youth I'D was
injured to hardships and self denial but
| do not remember of ever hearing a
word from the lips OF either my mother
or of my father that was not as it should
be. Better such recollections than a
great inheritance"

Many mothers pay too little attention
to the laws of health; they allow the
children to do things with impunity that
will wreck sound constitution, and the
future holds for them a sad harvest Do
not shut out all OF the air and crowd all
of the children into bed. Be careful in
the way that you handle and play with
your children; it is very painful to wit

children up in the air or let them hang,

Organization Formed Cen

MANY A BIG FIRE
FOUGHT BY MEMBERS
History Shows the Volun-

$50 Will Sit Down Tonight
to Feast Held in Honor Of
"Auld Lang Syne"

One hundred years ago to-day when
Harrisburg was a little more than a
village and merely covered a territory
between Mulberry and North streets,
body of men gathered in a one-story
frame building at Front and Market
streets and organized the "Hivers'
Fire Company. No. 2.
From this organization sprung what
is now the Hope Steam Fire Engine
Company No. 2. an organization not
only prominent because of its fire
fighting membership. but prominent
throughout Pennsylvania and in many
cities i'll other States. In commence
ration of this Tooth anniversary men,
bers of the Hope company number
ing 2b0 and at leastt fifty invited
guests will banquet at Chestnut street
auditorium tonight.
Outside of the fact that the sec
ond company to organize in Harris
burg started January 6, 1914, and
developed rapidly into real fire COM
pany until in the SOS. very little is
known about its history.
In 1854 when there was no appro-
priation forthcoming, the members
refused to keep the records and
gave little attention to the organiza-
thought the organization should re-
main intact and reorganization was
affected which has continued until the
present time.
The "Hivers" Start
The "Hivers," the original COM
pany, was well named as its members
were as busy as bees at all times, and
1t was not long until a hand engine
occupied the lower floor of the build
ing which stood near the present toll
house of the Market street bridge.
There were but two companies in Har-
risburg at that time. the Friendship
having been organized in 1903.
With the advance of years the
"Hivers' grew, but as it often the
case with volunteer fire companies
during their career, there were in
ternal troubles and early in the SOS
came a demand for fire protection
in the vicinity of Front and North
streets. where the water station is
now located. The "Hivers" decided
to move and reorganze and during
January, 1852, the Hope Fire Com
pany No. 2 was organized Troubles
did not cease and in later years there
was much difficulty in keeping UP the
ranks.
Records were lost, in fact it is no
secret that number of books that
would give a more precise history of
the Hope Fire Company after a fail
ure to secure financial aid from the
borough Officials were actually thrown
away. The members, however. held
together and finally when the proper
support was Forthcoming there was
again reorganization and this time
the company took up an abode in

Attorney General McReynolds Says

By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Jan. 6.-Com-
plants to Attorney General Mercy
nolds from several eastern cities that
the price of hard coal is soaring, allege
that the Pennsylvania State tax on
every tone of anthracite mined within
it's borders, is responsible. The De-
partment of Justice has been asked
to assail the Pennsylvania law on the
ground that 1t Is unconstitutional. In
answer to letters suggesting such q
course the Attorney General has re-
piled that it Is highly probable that
sooner or later some individual will
bring suit to test the law. and that, IL
the department finds 1t advisable, 1t
may intervene.
The Pennsylvania tax is 2h per
cent. of the cost of naming each ton.
and 1t is estimated that the State will
raise nearly s5.000,000 annually from
that source. According to the letters
to the Attorney General the Pennsyl-
vania mining companies have charged
the full tax up to the retailers and
they in turn have passed it on to the
consumer.

Department. which is in charge of the
anthracite coal tax collection, said to-
day that the department was proceed
ing to obtain reports Of production on
which to base the tax. Blanks have
been sent to each operator and the re-
ports are required to be made during
January. Bills for the tax will be sent
later. No notice of any suit to test the
tax has been received, but it is stated
that the Commonwealth will be ready
to meet 1t.

When they came into control of the
office Democratic workers naturally
supposed that members of the party
would be remembered when the good

Socialist down the throats of the
directors for the sole reason that the
man who has set himself up as the
local party dictator wants personal
representative in the department.

the Central Democratic Club, is only
the first of many protests that are be-

How Sun ReDe,s Comets, Tail.

A new theory to explain the tails o.
comets is advanced by the French
physicist, M. Houllevigue, in the Revue
Scientifique. 1t is natural to suppose
he says, that the incandescent nucleus
OF a comet is throwing out electrons
into the extremely rarefied atmosphere
that surrounds it. The observations
of George Ellery Hale, the American
astronomer, prove that the sun be.
HAYES like a negatively electrified
body. Therefore he repels electrons,
which are negatively electrified bodies.
These particles so repealed would be
driven to that side CT the comet which
is farthest from the sun, and by con-
tact with the molecules of the gaseous
and rarefed atmosphere would pro-
duce just the luminous appearance
that we call a comets tail.
Every comets tail always extends
away from the sun. Arrhenius. the
Swedish astronomer, believed that the
particles of the tail were repealed by
the light of the sun.

MEN WHO WIN LIES BATTLES
They Almost Invariably Have Been
Endowed With Great Physical
Strength.

1t has been said that great men
those capable of mental work beyond
the average-are almost invariably
men of great physical strength also,
remarks London Answers. Whether
this be true or not, we find innumer-
able instances in which the theory is
borne out in actual fact, and here are
a few actual and indisputable exam
pies:
Napoleon was capable of. sitting on a
horse sixteen hours at a stretch and
was able to work for days without rest.
Gladstone was always muscular. At
eighty years he chopped down an oak
four feet thick.
Bismarck was a giant. He fought
twenty-eight duels, receiving only nee
a scar, caused by the breaking of his
a~dversary's blade. He stock six feet
two inches.
Cromwell was a football player, fond
of boisterous sport. He stood nearly
six feet in height and had a strong,
compact body and well-knit frame.
Robert Burns was a strong man,
with a firm grip, gained at the plow
and fail.

Among them r Teddy bears, dogs,

and are stuffed with sawdust. Small
buttons or beads make their eyes and
heavy yarns are employed in outlining
the mouth or nose or other details.
A small white dog shown in the pic

look. He is furnished with eyes made

REWARDS FOR GOOD WORK
AntitubercuIosis Association Has Plan
70 Promote Sale Of Red Cross
Christmas Seals.

or banners will be given
by the American Red Cross and the
national Association for the Study and
prevention Of tuberculosis to the
sever counties, cities, towns and VIII
lagos in the United States selling the
largest number of Red Cross Christ
mas seals per capita before January
l. according to an announcement from
headquarters in New York.
In order to make the competition
even in all parts of the country, the
counties, cities and towns have been
grouped according to their population
IN 1910 into seven classes, as follows:
From 500 to 1000 from 1000 to 5000;
from 5000 to $4,000; from $4,000 to
$4,000; from $4,000 to 10000; 1901 900
TO $4,000, and over 100000. A special
ly prepared pennant will be given to
the county, city, town or village in
each class anywhere in the United
states selling the largest number Of
seals per inhabitants.
Last year Cody, Wyo., was among
the largest buyers per capita, selling
over $4,000 with a population of 1,200.
Some cities in New York, Wisconsin,
n Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
other states sold from three to six per
resident. The National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, which is carrying on the pro-
motion of the sale, considers that any
city of 10000 to 100000 population
ought to sell at least three cents
worth Of seals per inhabitant.
All the proceeds from the sale
of Red Cross seals. except the ex.
penses of the sale, go to fight tubercu-
losis in the community, state, city or
town where the seals are sold.
