Reyer and Freas learned that they had used Judge Heed's blanks and that his Honor could not get another application to Harrisburg in time for this season they hastened to call him up on the telephone and deplore the mistake they had made. Judge Reed assured them that he appreciated the situation and attributed the turn affairs had taken to the proverbial "fisherman's luck." Without taking the trouble to inquire why he had been bornswoggled in that manner, Judge Reed concluded to take the matter philosophically and forwarded the letter to Ilarrisburg. enclosing a letter to the Hon. W. E. Meehan in which he complimented the applicants and assured the Commissioner that they were in every way worthy to be entrusted with such matters. this Spring. Why Judge Reed Mill not Participate A couple of weeks ago J. M. Beyer and P. O. Ereas, of this plate, made application to the Hon. W. E. Meehan, fish commissioner, of Harrisburg, for trout blanks. In due course of time live blanks were received here via Brookvillc, having been forwarded from the county seal by Judge Reed. Messrs. Beyer and Ereas could not understand why the blanks were first sent to llrookville, but as the time for making the application would soon expire they concluded that perhaps Judge Reed, who is an enthusiast on the subject of trout propagation, was conducting a sort of sub-fish commission, and let it go at that. The applications were promptly filled up, and, after being signed by the Hon. S. Taylor North, were sent to Judge Reed to be forwarded to Harrlsburg. When Judge Reed opened the letter he was not a little surprised, for the blanks which It contained were no other than his own. He had received them from the fish commissioner and, according to custom, had sent them to the Hon. S. Taylor North to he signed before mnklng the application. Instead of containing simply the added signature of the Assemblyman of this district, Judge Reed found that all the blank spaces had been filled in with the names of Punxsutawney people and streams which he had never heard of.

Y.. this year, have been those of Pennsylvania couples who crossed the state line to avoid the license system in vogue in this state. Towns lying just over the border have been the scenes of numerous weddingsof Pennsylvanians since the preient laws were enacted and as a result immense sums of money in fees which should have been handed to Pennsylvania clergymen and Justices of the peace, have found their way to the pockets of outsiders—a form of free trade that is not at all pleasing to those wfeo have failed to get the cash.— Bradford Era. The young people Rave a dance in Pearsall's Hall on Thursday evening of last week. About 50 couples were present. Refreshments were served In the hall The Franklin, Pa., orchestra furnished the music and gave excellent satisfaction. The dancing was kept up until between three and four o'clock on Friday morning. M. C«. Murphy, who has had such a serious time with blood poisoning the past month, is much better and, if no new and unforseen complications set in, he will soon be able to be out again. Mrs. O. D.

N. Conrad returned on Sunday evening from Pittsburg, where he has been visiting Mrs. Conrad who is receiving treatment at the Mercy Hospital. Mr. John Kline, our townsman who went to Mercy Hospital, Pittsburg, about six weeks ago. was operated on for a tumor on Wednesday of last week. Word received from the hospital on Monday of this week, stated that he was improving and was hopeful of getting home soon. Notices to quit have been served by our property owners, and tenants have already commenced to look around to better their condition. The present outlook indicates that while renting houses are more plentiful than for many years past, rents for the better class of houses will be higher than they have been for several years. Ret ween seventy-five and one hundred houses were built the past season and it is said by those who have looked the matter up that there are over fifty vacant houses in Brookville and suburbs. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Shoffstall left on Tuesday for State Colege. where Mr. Shoffstall is on the staff of instructors.Our merchants unite In saying that they did a better business during the holiday season this year than ever before. New Years day passed off very quietly with the exception of the ringing of the Court House and one or two church oells and a watch meeting or two at midnight of December 31. There bid not seem to be anything out of the ordinary. On account of ice and high water, which took out the pontoon crossing at Red Bank Creek, Pickering street, people are compelled to go around by way of the White street bridge to reach the soutn side of town and the railroad station This means a detour of at least half a mile over very muddy and rough streets. The bridge builders, however, say that in ten or fifteen days the new bridge will lie far enough along to lay a foot bridge for the accommodation of tnose wishing to reach the depot.

Miss Tharra Long. Teacher. Don't worry: If you have done wrong right the wrong if you can, but in any event, worrying won't help you any. Take care of your constitution; when that is gone, you'll have nothing to fall back on but the by-laws. A great many people worry much more about some imaginary trouble that never comes than they do about ttiat which really does befall them. What a grand consummation It would be, if, at the close of life, we could say, I have nothing to regret.

The exhibition of moving pictures given by tho Great American Vitascope Company at the Fraternity theatre last night was a topnotcher in every respect. Tho subjects were all new to Shamokln audiences and very pleasing. Notable among them were "Chased by Bloodhounds or Lynching at Cripple Creek," "Annies' Love Story," "The Great Bank Robbery," etc. The beauty of the pictures Is the total absence of dickering which ordinarily affects the eyes.—Shamokln Dispatch, Dec. 13, 1904.
