Farce for Piazza Reading

Maximillian Fosters new story shoe
strings, is really divertng There are
many characters vino figure prominently in
the travesties of real people, but the
adventures (such as they are) of one j.
Lester Tams constitute the story. Tams, an
erstwhile floor walker in the Beehive" n
linen shop. is persuaded to invest $500, the
result OF many years of sacrifice. for feec-
ing purposes. Something goes wrong at the
"bucketshop' and J. Lester comes in con-
tact with the Aladdin's Lamp of the finan-
cial world-the war bride"--much to the
disgust of Messrs. Belcher and Lubin, the
swindlers In consequence, Tams reaps n
golden harvest. But he is not alone Every
member of the boarding house where he
lives meets with the same good fortune.
Then the entire household goes to Coro-
nado Beach, Cal. 1t is here that the real
fun commences, when Tams armed with
goodly sized bank roll and the knowledge
of the contents of in the Drawing Room -
book of social etiquette, salies forth TO
take the social world in one blazing assault.
The story Is of the up-to-date variety
present-day finance, motion pictures in the
making. cherished desires to become social
lions and kindred ideas. There are many
laughs in this tale.

Pennsylvanias Famous Congressman Did More
Than Any of His Contemporaries to
People the Great West

AMONG the men whose careers are part
Of the history Of Pennsylvania few II
any have done greater service to the ma
ton than Galusha A. Grow His life span
ned two centuries as he was born in 1923
and did not die until 1907. He lived from
before the building of the railroads. the in
vention of the electric telegraph and the
telephone to the days of wireless teleg-
raphy, the electric street car and the
automobile. 1t is difficult to realize now
that when his mother with her six children
migrated from Connecticut to Susquehanna
County. In the northern tier of Pennsylva-
MIA counties, that this was regarded as a
western State. Yet the families that came
here from Connecticut were said by those
who remained at home to be going out
West"
Mrs. Grow and her children were one Of
a group Of families that joined in the mi
grafton in the carly thirties of the last
century. They chartered a boat on which
they loaded their household goods at Mys-
tic, Conn. They sailed up Long Island
Sound, down the East River, around New
York. which then did not extend above
Twenty-thrd street, and continued up tho
Hudson to Rondout. There they transfer
red their belongings to canal boats and
Travelled through the new Delaware and
Hudson Canal to Honesdale. whence they
were carried by wagon to a settlement on
the Tunkhannock Creek ten miles above
its junction with the Susquehanna.
Here Galusha Grow. who died only ten
years ago grew up in the wilderness where
sturdy men and women were carving farms
out Of the forest. And here he got his
first dream of the duty Of the nation to its
pioneers that led him to devote ten years
of his life in Congress to obtain the pass
age of the homestead law. We OF this gen.
Grafton do not realize the importance of
that great statute which entrenched the
authority of the nation in the States and
opened up the public lands to bona -fide
settlers free from the exploitation of specu-
lators Yet the Car of Russia. who has
lately been deposed, understood its great
ness, for when an American who attended
his coronation asked him what he was going
