By Q. Neraal, Teacher of Agriculture,
Warren High School.

The teachers from the Associated
schools were in town ON Saturday of
last week to consult with the teachers
of the Industrial Department of the
High shool in regard to the industrial
work now carried on in their schools.
This attitude on the part Of teachers
is welcomed. It shows a willingness
to cooperate in making the Warren
Associated schools the best of it's
kind.
1t does one good to meet with pro
gress and to see improvements be-
ing made. Coming to the Cook school,
five miles north of town, enc will see
an improved school building: the
school room is enlarged, a big entry
added and the building is newly
painted and the roof shingled. The
whole arrangement is a big improve
ment over last year The school
board and Miss Esther MCCLELLAN, the
teacher in that district, are to be con-
graduated for the interest that they
are taklng ng n ]. vu-1r school.

AVOID THE MUSHY LETTER
Lovers viii Do Well to Remember
That Their Missives May Be
Read In Court.

When love letters come into print
the comic element in the divine pas
sion looms above everything, and the
world, instead Of loving the lover,
smokers at him.
A warrant charging disturbance of
the peace was sworn out by young
woman who had been receiving letters
in which the young man declared that
she was Embedded in his heart" and
that his face was swelling from kiss
ing her at a distance"
Love, said great poet, puts a man
to test only comparable to the ordeal
of dissolution. He who swaggers,
lordly in his strength and self-control,
spills himself on paper as a mushy,
sniveling, sappy sentimentalist when
he pens love letter.
Napoleon, Thackeray and Browning
wrote with dignity and power to won.

ment and scientific war equipment, much

ed attack at any time and it is well to be
prepared by always keeping a bottle Of

you notice the appetite failing, digestion
becoming impaired, the liver inactive and
the bowels refuse to perform their daily
functions, commence taking the Bitters.
Prompt action, together with the aid Of
this medicine, has been the means of pre-
venting much suffering from Sick Head
ache, Nausea, Poor Appetite, Indigestion,
Constipation and Biliousness.

iREWRoTE TO LAST MOMENT
Tolstoy's Habit Was to Correct Print
er's Proofs as Long as They
Were Sent to Him.

When "Anna Karenina" began to
come out in the monthly Russh
Vyestnik, writes Count Ilya Tolstoy in
his "reminiscences of Tolstoy," long
galley proofs were posted to my ia
Their, and he looked them through and
corrected them.
At first he would mark the margins
with the ordinary typographical signs,
letters omitted. marks Of punctuation.
and so on; then he would change in
diyidual words, and then whole SEN
fences. That would be followed by
erasures and additions until the proof
sheets became a mass of patches that
were perfectly black in places. 1t was
impossible to send them back as they
stood, because no one except my moth
er could make head or tail Of the
tangle of signs, transpositions and
erasures. My mother would sit up
all night copying the whole thing out
afresh.
In the morning the pages lay on her
table, neatly piled together, and COW

Everything would be ready so that

There's just one bit want to look

but he would get carried away and re-
write it all afresh. There were even
occasions when, after he had posted
the proofs. my father corrected them
by telegraph the next day.

these corrections, the printing of the

FINDS WILL; GETS $4,000
Engineer Overwhelmed When He
Opens Box and Finds Fortune
Left by Friend.

A windfall, as welcome as 1t was un-
expected, came to Harvey A. Acker, a
locomotive engineer on the Reading
railway, living at Allentown, Pa, with
the finding Of the will of Radley Mohr,
retired cigarmaker and widely known
sportsman, who died at the age of fifty
six.
Mohr for years, living very modest
ly, boarded with Acker, who was one
of his cronies, the pair often going
out together for a day with rod or
gun. Mr.. Mohr for several years, on
account of failing health, did nothing
but hunt and fish.
1t was not known or supposed that
he had any fortune. While cleaning
up his effects the morning after the
funeral Mrs. Acker came across a doc
ument which indicated it was Mohr's
will. She showed it to Acker, who
found he was the sole beneficiary Of
the estate, and Arthur ]. d. Koenig,
clerk of the orphans court of Lehigh
county, was named executor.
The will, besides bequeathing to
Acker a small property, said he should
have the contents of a safe deposit
box in one of the banks, and it told
him where to find the key and how to
open the box He called on Mr., Koe-
mig and the two did as directed in the
will. Their eyes opened in astonish-
ment when they found $4,000 in clean
new bills and gold.

SEPARATED LAMBS AND GOATS
Governor Knew What He Was Doing
When He Told Anecdote Of
Ancient Vintage.

The governor of southern state
came to his office with friend one
morning to find a number of men wait

Preventing Premature eurlaIs.

The fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is, so widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered a prize equal
to $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
er, in a given case, death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: If the hand of the
suspected dead person is held towards
candle or other artificial light, with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears a scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circulat-
ing; it shows itself through the it's
sues which have not yet congested.
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.

LONG HIDDEN love
BY MARY GRACE BENNETT.

Don't be rash, Rivers-think 1t
over. Surely, have treated you
fairly|
More than fairly, Mr.. Esmond" de-
clared Paul Rivers, gratefully and
earnestly.
IF it is a matter of increased COM
pensation, l will gladly treat with
you"
"Oh, no, sir-it isn't that"
"You have a better prospect, per-
haps?" suggested Mr.. Esmond, anx-
ious to secure the confidence of an
employee he valued and respected.

planned Paul, "but-I-that is, / feel
the need Of a change. My mother, who
lives in another state, is old and fail
ing rapidly. feel 1t duty to be near
her."
Thus, in a hating way, wretched at
heart, hiding deep secret, Paul Riy-
ers babe farewell to the two brightest
years of his young life.
He had come to Taunton stranger
and had secured work in the large
mercantile establishment OF Robert
Esmond. From the start the wealthy
business man had admired his energy
and efficiency. At the end of year
he had advanced his favored employee
to a managerial position.
Then he had made vast mistake,
so far as Rivers was concerned. He
had invited Paul to his home and had
introduced him to his daughter, Eloise.
She was a queenly. undemonstrative
girl, and although to Paul she seemed
far far above him. he became a fire.
quent visitor at the palatial home and
a secret worshiper at the shrine of her
fascinating influence.
Miss Esmond stood high socially.
The family friends were Of the elite.
She was courted by men who had
thousands where Paul had hundreds.
The self-deprecating Paul finally ar
rived at conclusion. To confess his

love to her was sure to meet with
naughty rejection. Mistrusting his
own sterling value, misjudging wom-
ans heart, Paul Rivers resolved to go
away and forget Eloise Esmond.
Enthusiastically blind!" commented a
close lady friend Of Miss Esmond to
herself, for she had discerned what lay
hidden under the mask of calmness
worn by Elolse.
At all events, Paul went to his moth
er's home to begin new life. He
found there q patient, unpretentious
young girl who had tenderly nursed
his aged relative for three long years.
The girl had no other home, no friends.
When Mrs. Rivers died, her forlorn
position touched the generous heart OF
Paul.
She is not pretty, nor educated"
reflected Paul, but she is true as
steel. She may cause me to forget
Elolse."
He proposed to Harriet Green, and
she was proud and happy. A little
child, Adelne, was born to them.
Then Harriet faded slowly away,
blessing heaven to the last for the hus-
band whose gentleness and care she
had mistaken for love.
Paul placed the little child in charge
Of a distant spinster relative. He
planned to go West and seek in new
work forgetfulness of his past gloomy
experiences. Then the whole current
of his career was changed by a some
what remarkable occurrence.
A young merchant in the town came
to him one day. He was only casual
acquaintance, but he had been always
pleasant and friendly with Paul.
See here, Rivers" he said, in a
