CHILDREN'S CORNER
The Peanut Vine

ONE day in the pleasant summer,
~ three little children planned
beach party. They took sandwiches
and cookies. cake and pickles and all
the good things that make picnics
such fun.
But when they were about ready to
start, the Oldest little girl said, "Oh,
mother, we haven't anything to cook!
To cookr exclaimed mother. Did
you want to cook something"
"Of course, we dol" exclaimed all
the children. at wouldn't be beach
party without cooking something.
Let us take some potatoes to roast"
That wouldn't be much fun" said
mother, thoughtfully, potatoes take
so long to roast and then you always
get the ashes inside when you try to
eat them. Why don't you take pea
nutsP
"Peanutsp cried the children in
surprise, peanuts are already roast
ed"
Their mother laughed. Perhaps
the kind you buy are, but the kind
mean are notp
She went with them to the store and
bought great bag full of fresh un-
roasted peanuts. There you are"
she announced laughingly, roast
those all you please or as little as you
wish and still no harm will be doneF
The children set out gaily for the
beach.
They gathered the wood, they built
the ire. And when the ashes were
hot, they buried the peanuts in among
them for roasting.
Then they went off for a play
But so great was their hurry for
play, that they were none too careful
about getting every one of the peanuts
IN the hre.
Some way, one little peanut got
dropped out of the bag into the sand
mot much wonder thati
lie felt very badly about il, though.
That IS, he did for little while. Then
the children came back and he got
trampled down into the sand SO far,
that he eouldn't think OF anything

back up TO the light.
For days he tried his best. Then

LAND CASE VERDICT
IMPORTANT TO CITY
Oil Company's Suit Involved Pass
yunk Avenue Bridge Opening.

yunk Avenue Bridge Opening.
After a trial lasting nearly all of last
week, a prominent land damage case
came to a close yesterday afternoon in
Court of Common Pleas No. before
Judge Carr.
Tho case involved the opening of the
Passyunk avenue bridge by the city
through the property Of the Atlantic Re-
hning Company, on a tract of 46 acres
on the west bank of the Schuylkill river.
The bridge and avenue required piece
of land 1872 feet wide through the prop
orty, taking 3.7S acres. two storage tanks,
and separated a third from the field of
eight tanks at 63d street.
The remaining land was also separated
and triansulated. The grade of bridge
and avenue was 30 feet above street
surface at the west bank of river, rum
ming down to 13 feet at the western end
of property.
The owners claimed the bridge was not
needed for tho best use of the property,
with wharf of 100 feet, where yearly
millions of dollars worth of crude oil was
refined and put on vessels for export.
Six well known real estate experts
were called who testified to a damage of
from $4,000 to S129,0O0.
The city claimed, Notwithstanding the
land taken, the grade of the bridge, and
the tanks destroyed, there was u benefit
to the property, inasmuch as IL was now
directly connected with the city proper
and was more available for its best use.
Nine real estate experts were put on
the stand by the city and testified that
after the opening of the bridge the prop
erty of the Atlantic Refining Company
was benefited. The amounts ranged from
$500 to $4,000.
The action was brought as of July, 1905.
The jury brought in verdict in favor of
the city of no damage. Benefits under
the law could not be awarded. II is be-
lieved the Atlantic Refining Company will
not argue for a new trial.

Sinks to Rest in New York Hotel
After a Most Remarkable
Battle to Save Him.

After battling with the ravages

three months, Mr.. John c. G.

Monday afternoon. Every effort
had been made by the attending
specialists to prolong his life and
it was thought up until few

but relapse came and his death
followed. He was a most re-
markable business man and had
amassed a fortune estimated at
twenty million dollars. Twenty
five years ago he was a strug-
Cling school teacher. In teach
ing in various counties in the
mountains he gained an intimate
KIN owledge of the valuable min
eral resources. He decided to
put his savings into options on
mountain land and this he did,
and when the development of the
eastern Kentucky coal fields be-
gan he was enabled to sell his
options for millions. He was a
most generous man, giving two
churches in his home town of
Paintsville $4,000 each. He
built and gave to that city $25,-

n Track meet was nel0 at the
Fair Grounds last Friday after.
noon under most unfavorable
conditions. A drizzling rain fell
throughout. Mt. Sterling was
victorious in the 22o-yard dash
shot put and relay, the latter
event going to the locals by de-
fault. The high jump was a tie
both men going to Lexington to
take part in the finals.
Miss Julia Rodman and Mr..
Carroll Kelly were victors in
contests at the first Statewide
Interscholastic Tournament held
at Lexington, May 9TH, 9Th and
9th. Miss Rodman was victor
ious in the girls public speaking
contest, while Kelly won the
high jump and was second in the
44o-yard dash. This is consid-
cred quite an honor for both
young people and shows that it
makes little difference what the
City School attempts to do, they
are almost sure to make a cred
liable showing. This is in a
large part due to the "willing-to-
work. characteristic of the pupils
and especially the faculty.
The baseball game which was
to have been played at the Fair
Grounds last Friday afternoon,
will be played next Mon day af-
ternoon, May 18th. Although it
was started, so continual was
the down pour of rain, that after
three innings had been played it
was deemed unwise to continue
and the game was called, the
score at that time being Gym
thiana, 3; Mt. Sterling, o. All of
Cynthiana's runs were made on
errors due to the bad condition
of the grounds.
