slonal marks of no less than fifteem

on the shoulders of men in khaki
going through the building. Many
or the visitors come from far away
states and change trains here or
nave rest periods while their trains
are being oVerhauled. The first
place these chance visitors head for
Is the State House which dominates
the city and is the first object to be-
seen for miles when coming up the
Susquehanna from the South or
rounding the ridges at the Rock
Vlile Gap. The comments of the
soidlers, 1t may be said, are all very
much filled with praise for the
beauties of the building and the
evidences of the wealth of the State.
On one day last week the divisional
marks of men from Texas, Okla
homa, Washington, California, Min
nesota, Iowa, New Mexico, Arkan-
sas and Illinois were to be seen in
the building while men with the
marks of the BLUE Ridge" New
York State National Guard, yam
kee' and regular army divisions are
not uncommon. The Sunset men
have also been here, while the red
Keystone of the Pennsylvania
Guardsmen and the buffalo of the
colored infantry from Pennsylvania :
have been frequently noticed. One
or the interesting facts about these
soldier visitors, many of whom have
just landed, is that they made it a
point to visit the public buildings
and cathedrals of every town of any
consequence they could tarry in on
the other side. Their comparisons
and comments on the Pennsylvania
Capitol in the light of what they
| have seen indicate that the Ameri-
can soldier Is alert and observing
of architecture as of his army busi-
ness.
President Judge George Kunkel,
who has been in the public eye for
years and far without the borders
of his own State, is the subject of
some interesting, albeit geographi-
cally mixed, comment in the New
York Times. The judge on a recent
occasion in criminal court made
some comments upon man being
master in his own house SO far as
| his wife would allow it or some
thing to that effect, which was duly
wired from Harrisburg in the news
of the day. The big New York
daily rises to salute him as a Daniel

Manhattan, while he has the name
of the judge correct and the title
of the court and the designation of
the county in absolute form, he To-
Gates our esteemed president Judge
in Wyoming. But in spite of this
uncertainty about geography West
of the Hudson which has been of
| ten noticed in people of the metrop-
oils the attitude of the Dauphin
jurist meets with appreciation.
The Times says:
From Judge Kunkel, of the
County Court of Dauphin Coun-
ty, Wyoming, (there is no Dau-
| phin county in the land except
in Pennsylvania) comes a deci-
sion so luminous, sagacious and
final that it transcends county
and State lines and recommends
| itself by it's own merits to the
laws, the codes and the hearts
of all American States and all
the American people. A tyrant
man complained of "cruel and
barbarous treatment to him
given by the wife of his bosom.
| According to his unverified and
possibly romantic plant, the
| lady, undoubtedly for cause and
his own moral improvement, had
kicked him soundly in the
shins, to the incarnadining of

terry was "molliter manus i'm
posuit," laid hands on him gent
ly. Doubtless the Wyoming
tyrant's wife molliter pedes
imposuit, kicked the brute in the
most delicate and forbearing
manner possible. Whatever the
manner of the operation, the
Judges opinion looms up as a
world-beacon on the downward
path of Man: "A man has full
rights in his own home against
everybody but his wife. But
when she starts something it is
the husbands business to beat
a retreat. When a man puts a
wife into his house he cannot
complain about her treatment

ity. In such a case the some
time lord of creation must take
leg-bail at the top of his speed.

Harrisburg has started to rum
mage. 1t is one of the surest signs
of spring. For years about the mid
die of March the people of this
city commence to look over ward
robes and various articles about the
house and if the Armenians and
Bolgians and various flood, fam
inc and other sufferers have not had
too many friends there are many
things about which can be made
of service. And they are now be-
ing put aside and checked up and
made ready to be carted down to
the annual rummage sale. This is
one of the events of the year for
sellers and sellees because it furn-
ishes more ideas of what real bar
gains can be had than anything else.
The rummage sale was established
for the benefit OF the Harrisburg
hospital more years ago than most
