Marathon Notes

By Our Suburban Correspondent
Bill Stiles Is reported to have had very
tragic fortune In his garden this season.
large rabbit-of provocative mien-said
by some to be Belgian hare-was found
nibbling the tender foliage of Bills ia
vorte lettuce plant. Bill took aim with the
famous double -barreled fowling piece
After the uproar was over the rabbit had
vanished unhurt; but alas, the powerful
weapon had blown out the brains of the
only head of lettuce in the garden.
Fred Myers Is alleged to have the finest
crop of tomatoes seen in Marathon for
many a year. 1t Is even said that seeds
men have been making offers to take color
photos of these magnificent creatures for
reproduction on the covers of catalogues
Fred has bought a set of awnings, and
there Is some doubt whether these are to
shade the house, or to shelter the toma-
toes from Hank Harris's hen.
Hank Harris, the well-known commuter,
has recently returned to Marathon from his
holiday at Bushkill Mr.. Harris who was
already we'll known In Bushkill, increased
the universal esteem In which his talents
were held by succeeding in capturing a
posse Of small pigs which had escaped
from confinement, and which no one else
was feet enough to catch. These pigs
were finally overpowered by H. S. Harris
In a country graveyard, after much skip
ping and vaulting among the stones 1t
Is said by some of Mr. Harriss asso-
cfates that his long experience In catching
the 8:13 train at Marathon stood him In
good stead on this trying occasion.

Ennland TO Honor PllarIms.

Behind the efforts Of those who
are seeking to link Great Britain and
America In a lasting union Of friend
ship two historic episodes stand out
In bold relief.
II Is almost precisely 800 years since
che Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Ply
mouth In the Mayhower to make, on
on undeveloped continent, a brave ex-
pertinent Of self government. The
actual tercentenary falls next year,
and already preparations are in prog
ress to celebrate the occasion In this
country In fitting manner.
BY way of contrast to that great ad-
venture one thinks Of that other pill
grlmage last year. when 100000 he.
rolc soldiers left their homes In Amer
leo to speed across the Atlantic to the
rescue Of the old country. They
came actuated by that love Of liberty
which had been handed down to them
from the ancient Pilgrims. and with
their British brothers they testified on
the battle field to the essential unity
Of the Anglo-Saxon stock. 1t is now
for Great Britain and America to de-
terrnIne that the friendship which
their gallant soldiers cemented with
their blood shall be permanent In
spiratlon in their international rela-
tlons.-London Daily Telegraph.

Always somethIna New.

"Of making many books there is no
end" complained the preacher, and
did not perceive how highly he was
praislng letters as an occupation.
There is no end, indeed, to making
books or experiments, or to travel, or
to gathering wealth. Problem gives
rise to problem. We may study for
ever, and we are never as learned as
we would. We have never made a
stature worthy OF our dreams And
when we have discovered continent,
or crossed a chain OF mountains. II Is
only to find another ocean or another
plain upon the farther side. Even
in a private park, or in the neighbor-
hood OF single hamlet. the weather
and the seasons keep so deftly chang
ing that although We walk there for a
lifetime there win be always some
thing new to startle and delight u.s.

Pardon Recall. Eamo;::== Crime.

A famous crime Is recalled by the
granting OF a decree of pardon to
large number of convicts in Italy.
Among those thus pardoned are
Doctor Naldi and Tulllo Murri, who

murder Of Count Bonmartini, Murri's
brother-in-law. Count Bonmartinl,

Quarreled with his wife. was found
IN mis- fiat with his throat cut, In
August, 1902. The trial, lasting six
months, Of the countess and four ac-

aroused enormous interest throughout
Italy. All the prisoners were confined
In a steel cage In front Of the judges
tribune. Tulllo Murri, the countess
brother, declared that he demonstrated
with the count for ill-treating his wife,
and killed him In quarrel that fol-
lowed. He was sentenced to 80 years
solitary confinement. Doctor Naldi.
a friend Of Murris, received the same
sentence. He declared that his part
in the crime was to cut the corpse In
pieces. but that this was not done ow-
Ing to the date arranged for the muir
der being altered. The countess. who

Work more
Produce more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities
The FARMS mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion more en-.
gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities s-and so increase production -
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.
