Pennsylvania is to contribute addition
al cash sufficient to build a model mile
roadway as a part of the Lincoln Highway.
1t is to serve as a sample of the degree of
perfection to which roadbuilding may be
brought. Delaware is ahead of the Key
stone State in that quarter, having seven
or eight miles of the best road that can be
constructed and which would serve as
model for all builders Of modern highways.

THE SKUNK.


Each night around my seaside
dwelling there roams q skunk; at
break of day the whole charmed
neighborhood Is smelling of Jockey
Club or New Mown Hay, know
. not why this midnight vagrant
should always to my cottage steer;
. | only know he renders fragrant a
hundred leagues of atmosphere.
| would not in this way be haunted,
were it lion or bear; for I'm of
courage, high, undaunted, and |
would shoe it TO its lair. Oh, bring
your fierce man eating tiger, and it
I'll face, and never quail, and chase
it to its native Niger, and tie tin
can to its tail. I'll meet in any mans
arena the fiercest brutes the world
can dig, the warthog and the rude
hyena, the polar bear and guinea pig.
No man can say am quitter, but
all my courage seems like wind,
when comes that aromatic critter,
with incense from the storied Ind,
Which shows, my friends, that
circumstances will alter cases, now
and then; and when some sort of
doom advances, the grit fails III the
bravest men. Call me not craven
if | tremble, say not that all my
boasts are bunk; my inward fears
| can't dissemble, | will not try to
kill the skunk.

MOUNTAIN PINK.
Annie E. Michener.

Sweet mountain pink that covered the
graves
In the little church-yard, quaint and
lone;
know not if still you softly creep
All over the mounds, from stone to

But the rich tint Of your color rare,
And the faintest breath of perfume
Somehow has stolen across the air;
And tonight Is filling my room.

Montana, been notified of the ship
ment here for interment of the body
Charles F. Corrignan a former Lang

from a Glentana bank, written at the

made Montana their home since re-
moving from Langdon some six or
seven years ago. Charlie was the
second son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Cor.

Yesterday morning those who were
st'll up and around at the early hour
of four O'Clock waiting for election
returns had their attention attracted
to the reflection in the sky of a fire
that appeared to be under considerable
Roadway a few miles northwest of
town. 1t turned out to be the garage
and auto repair shop of John Kratz,
who has only lately established him
self in business at Wales. There had
been a fire discovered about mid.
night in the repair shop around a gas
engine, but it was thought that this
had been safely put out, but must
have been smouldering from that
time until the second alarm was
given, The loss was total but the
the amount involved has not been as,
certained, or the amount of insurance
that was carried. The property was
purchased by Kratz along with the
business from Otto Platz only a few
months ago.
Fire at the home of a farmer nam
ed Olson in the settlement east of

the total destruction of the home re-
suited in the sad tragedy of the
death of four of their little children
