For Sale-Houses


THE HOUSE THAT JOHN WANTS C. W. Comstock,
 16 East Adams Street. Dear Sir: I take my pen in hand to let you knew that I am well and hope these few lines will find you the same, this pen is bad and the ink is poor so you must excuse bad writing.
 I looked at the house you have for sale at $2300, it is certainly a bargain, a cement plastered brick house of that kind is hard to find at the price, especially in a new restricted addition;
 It is a larger house than need as it has three sleeping rooms; I like the plan of the hall way con meeting with sleeping rooms. With the bath room; also like that little pass pantry between the kitchen and dining room.
 Few houses have good cellars like that, and the living and dining rooms with built in features and a fire place are right up to date; the barn there is big enough for farm, at s2300 it is S700 cheaper than anything 1 have seen; l would buy the house anyhow, but l cant get any money for two weeks and l know that will be sold this week as bargain like that wont last long.
 Yours,
 JOHN, Notice-As the house must be sold this week we can't wait for John: Who wants it? Terms are easy

A pleasant and easy way of seing the

of pretending to be on a walking trip

with some equally mythical club or
p~ersonages. has exhausted it's POSSIBLE
tiles in Prussia.
The authorities have come to the
conclusion that this type OF traveller
has become sc numerous as to constf-
tute a public nuisance and the mini
ster of the interior has instructed the
police to prevent them from selling
postcards with their photographs. an
bouncing lectures or otherwise molest-
Ing the public and to discontinue the
practice of certifying upon their pass
ports or logbooks that they have
passed through this or that town upon
their wanderings.
If a warning does not suffice to make

MAN WHO PROSECUTED
ARCHIBALD DRIVEN TO
BANKRUPTCY. HE SAYS

Washington. Feb. 12.-william P.
Boland. of Scranton. Pa, whose
charges Of misconduct in office re-
suited in the impeachment of Judge
Robert w. Archibald. of the United
States commerce court. has informed
Chairman Clayton, of the House COM
mittee on the judiciary, that he has
been driven into bankruptcy because
he exposed the jurist as a tool of the
anthracite coal carrying lines.
MIR. Boland presented to Judge
Clayton a remarkable series Of re-
verses which, he said, came after Judge
Archibald had been tried by the SEN
ate and removed from the bench. He
traced all his troubles to the date on
which he began his fight against Arch
bald and the Lackawanna railroad. He
asked Judge Clayton If congress could
not protect him from a community
of interests that he was powerless to
fight alone.
Judge Clayton told Boland that his
committee had no jurisdiction in the
case. unless it could be shown that
some court officer had been a party
to any conspiracy that might exist.
1t is understood, however, that a de-
partment of justice agent will in
vestigate.
Mr.. Boland was president of the
Marion Coal company, which was in

Resistance to Cold.

From h account of sea bathing at
Coney Island, it appears that more
than a hundred Caucasian resident of
New York had become "all face" They
were able to paddle around in the wa
ter, stand the blows of the surf and
lounge on the beach, though all they
had between their skin and the ele-
ments were bothing clothes.
Possibly only a comparative small
number of persons a make a show of
enjoying a combination of ice water
and icy air in contact with their flesh.
But it is altogether likely that there
is too much in the way of heated rooms
mi thick clothes for the good of most
of us. It has softened us and laid us
open to the attacks of many ailments.
Until 1t is fashionable to go quite
naked, we cannot have the "all face"
resistance of the Indian. Still, by cut

the litigation the Marion mpa

The day after Mr.. Boland took the
stand against Archibald a mysterious
fire damaged the property of his coal
company.
Soon after he returned to Scranton
at the elimination of the trial, he
found it almost impossible to do BUSH

Then. he said, he decided to DISPOSE

with two possible purchasers certain
trackage facilities which he had for

1T would have been sufficient to save
him from a total failure, but the rail-
roads blocked his way with further
litigation. 1t is still pending.

One moonlight night. Mr. Fox, who
lived in a ave not far from a farm
and geese. stood in the doorway Of
his home. looking out over the country.
This is a nice night for a walk" he
said. " and l believe I will go over to
Farmer Reeds and see If 1 can find a
pleasant companion; and I believe 1
will put the pot over the fire." he said,
going back into his cave.
When he came out. MI. Fox wore a
smile. which plainly said: 'If I can
not induce a nice plump goose to come
out. q modest hen will do"
When he reached HI farm. all was
quiet. and Mr.. Fox walked to the poul-
try house and looked at the window;
looked in. All the hens were asleep.
but a goose stretched III her long neck
and caught sight of Mr.. Fox. "a caller
h said to herself. II knew Just how
1t would be If we went to bed early"
and she waddled toward the window.
Mr.. Fox caught sight Of her the in
slant she moved and he smiled very
sweetly. being careful not to display
his sharp teeth.
Come back. you silly goose" said an
older goose, catching her by the wing.
Don't you know who that is?"

looking Individual" said the silly goose,
and I am going to see what he wants"

foxey fellow. in a low voice. don't you
want to take a walk this nice moon
light night?"
II do not think I should go out alone
with you" said the silly goose. with a
giggle.
Nh. Fox rejoiced to hear this. for he
thought he might get two, and that was
more than he had expected from this
evenings trip.
Il should be pleased to make it pleas
ant for any friend you might bring
along." he said: "the more the merrier
I think"
Just then a hen who had been AVA
kened by their conversation. hoped

to see what was going on.

back before they are awake. Yes, 1

An hour later haywood received a brief
note from Lillian informing him that she
had withdrawn her objections to the sale
of her land.

haywood came often to the Brand farm.
But In Lillian's manner there was a re.

Brand farm was secured haywood began
the erection of an immense elevator. This
elevator was to shelter the crops of the
great haywood estate. The spur of the
railroad was to be built from the main
line to the elevator.

Some of the most pathetic and hopeless
tragedies of the world come about through
a lack of any Independent and personal re-
people are childishly incapable of amusing
themselves, of finding original interests
and viewpoints and activities. They must
forever follow instead Of feeling freshly

or old ones in the new form of Individual
Inspiration. In an environment Of rich
ness and beauty for those who discover
seeing ones are helpless and futile and
without the joy of original diversion.
To such persons the following paragraph
from John Burroughs's new book, THE
Summit of the Years" should suggest
sources of genuine benefit:
IT still find each day too short for all
the thoughts 1 want to think, all the

the forces of men"
To be born with a being attuned to such
harmonies is a blessing which may come
those most fortunately situated from a
mere worldly point of view. Material
riches grow poor and stale before the
bounty of such an appreciation. If our
doors Of thought and feeling are open to
