He endeavored to practice the things that
he preached,
He was careful in choosing his friends;
He remembered the rolling stone proverb
and stayed
In one little spot all his life,
But his heels were run down and his
trousers were frayed,
And his neighbors all pitied his wife.
MORAL
There's lesson these few simple verses
reveal,
Whoever peruses may find it:
The proverb is good, but very great
deal
Depends on the man who's behind it.

The Susquehanna river was closed
up tight" from shore to shore this
morning for period of twenty-nine
minutes, according to the record kept
at the dollhouse at the entrance to the
Market street bridge. by Joseph Pye.

in two years that the river has been
frozen from shore to shore at this
point.
The river was frozen over above
the Cumberland Valley Railroad
bridge about o'clock, but there were
three open channels between the Har-
risburg shore and Island Park. At IL
o'clock the ice stopped running be-
tween the Harrisburg bridge and
Rockville. Rivermen expected to see
q closed river for several days, but
something evidently broke loose, for
the ice was again on the move at 1I.2s
o'clock.
From the eastern shore of the island
to the Cumberland shore the ice has
been intact for some time, not an
open channel being reported between
New Cumberland and West Fairview.
The ice on the river Is from four to
eight inches thick.

hat condition possibly that immediate
inhabitants of the valley have come to
look upon the Susuehanna more as q
beautiful creation of nature than as
a means of reducing transportation
costs or of developing commercial and
industrial possibilities
"The first step is to pass the bill re-
voking the War Department order
closing the Susquehanna to navigation.
That would restore to the War Depart
ment the duty of preserving the navi-
cation of the river. The arbitrary
closing of the river at McCall's Ferry
should then be promptly undone by
compelling the power company to in
stall a lock or other passageway for
navigation. And then the survey
should be undertaken to determine
whether the lock and dam system
would be suitable to the improvement
of the Susquehanna and could be in
stalled at reasonable cost"
