concentrfc rings showing Harrisburg
as the center of things and other
things which will be interesting in
1910. Under the head of the county
anniversary there is thumbnail
sketch of the history of Dauphin
county, while Conewago, Dauphin,
East Hanover and Gratz are men,
TONED for anniversary and Harris

| The fruit trees about Harrisburg
are Towering in all their glory now
and people with an eye to beauty are
photographing the old peach. pear
and plum trees and watching for tho
cherries. The apple trees are COM
mencing to bud and in the woods the
singular buds and the other trees are
demonstrating how nature clothes
them. This is the one brief period Of
the year when the trees show forth
the effects of the coming of the warm
weather and the lover of tree life can
find something to enchant him on
every side.
The arrests of men in franklin.
! Huntingdon and other counties for
| killing deer out of season have Calic |
attention to the fact that there are
many men who are disregarding the
money and efforts the State is putting
forth to provide wild animals for tn =
forests. In some instances the kill
| ing of deer out of season has not been
confined to bucks, but does, which
may not be legally killed at any sea-
son of the year, have been slaughtered.
The Police Department has been
causing quite a stir of late with its
splendid chariot in place of a patrol
wagon or car. Transgressors against
the law need only a footman now TO
make them the lordlieSt in the land,
judging from the method of convey
ance from the headquarters to the Jail.
A stranger to the city happened to
be walking past 223 Walnut street the
other day when he was interrupted
in his walk by the sudden dashing up
of a somewhat ancient model automo-
bile, yet withal still capable of render
ing good service. Out there stepped.
with all grace, one of Harrisburg $
best bluecoats, accompanied hv u
more or less seedy individual destined
to a certain period within the prison
walls, but happily grinning from ear
to ear as a result of his kingly ride
through the streets of Harrisburg be-
hind a regular chauffeur.
The Greeks are busy as bees nova
days and scarcely a minute goes by
without one or more men entering the
shine parlors that are scattered freely
along Market and Third streets. The
reason! Take a look and see the
huge heaps of last years straws be-
ing renovated and kicked into shape
for the approaching date on which
will be removed the winter lid,
actually and figuratively, to make
room for the cooler straws.
