This appeared on the menu card of a Smithfield street restaurant, and the people who make a luncheon of "roast leg of lamb, rolls and coffee" or similar provincial combinations which they make haste to dispose of in order to get back to business before the whistle blows, looked at the card in surprise. Of course they didn't order any of the roast groundhog. The average man who patronizes the popular priced restaurant In the middle of the day Is not likely to risk delicatessen novelties.

"Give me a uttle of that Punx'y pork," he said. Tlie waitress appeared puzzled. "Some of the white meat from Canoe Ridge," persisted the patron. "I—I—I—don't know what you mean," stammered the girl. "Some cooked weather," ventured the man before the counter. The waitress looked in blank amazement. "I mean some of Kidgeway's assistant, well done," said the man, "and if you don't know what that is Just fetch some roast groundhog:, alias Punxsutawney. That's where I'm from."

WEBER Good Stationery The Pennsylvania Legislature got down to business last Wednesday when former attorney general P. C. Knox, of Pittsburg, was elected to a seat in the United States Senate, and the committees were announced in both branches. Mr. Knox, who is now serving by appointnnnt in the United States Senate was elected for the short term which expires March 1. 1905, and also for the full term of six years which expires March *1. 1911. The vote for United States Senator in joint ballot was Knox, republican. 2 23, j. K. P. Hall, of Elk county, democrat, 23, thereby electing Mr. Knox by the largest majority ever given a candidate for Senjator by t'»e Pennsylvania Legislature. Hon. S. Taylor North, assemblyman from this county, received appointments on committees as follows: banks, agriculture, library and judicial apportionment. Senator John S. Fisher, of Indiana, received the appointment as chairman of the Committee on Corporations, and was made a member of five other important committees. Assemblyman North introduced the following bills last Wednesday: Hill appropriating $2 1- 000 for the Adrian Hospital at this pla<<• a inn to repeal the Act of April 11, 1899, empowering tin* school directors of townships to exercise the power of a board of health. In commenting on the merit of bills already Introduced In the Legislature, the Philadelphia Inquirer says that no doubt something will be accomplished In the way of creat ing a more effective Slate Board of Health, for the Legislature has been exceedingly lax in health matters in the past.

While the great Brindamour was ; making a tour of the summer resorts l>c played at Buzzards Bay, the home of Joseph Jefferson, the veteran actor. Among the audience were Mr. Jefferson and his foniily. After the performance Mr. Jefferson said: "I have always had an infatuation for the 'mysterious' and during my seventy odd years on the stage, I have managed to witness the performances of the late lamented Herman Keller and Bancroft, but to-night f have seen the great Brindamour give an exhibition which in my estimation surpasses all previous attempts by his predecessors." The following day Prof. Brindamour was a guest at the Jefferson villa. The great Brindamour and his company of European artists will be at the Punxsutawney Opera House Thursday and Fridaj. January 2(I and 2 7. Two and onehalf hours of mirth, mystery and music will be the rule wherever the above company entertains. Reserved seats at Feicht's drug store. Prices 25, 50 and 75 cents. E.

Hall in "A Ragged Hero." George F. Hall, in "A Ragged Hero," Maurice J. Fielding's popular comedy-drama, is the attraction announced for the Punxsutawney Opra House, Monday, January 30. Mr. Hall's reputation as a portrayer of comedy roles is now firmly established and his play comes with an enviable record of success achieved in all the largo cities of the country during the past th.ee seasons. It tells a story of life and love among the liilis of i\ew England, its scenic embllishment is beautiful and appropriate, and its mechanical effects are masterpieces of stage realism. Reserved seats at Feicht's drug store. Prices 25, 50 and 75 cents. The largest and most appreciative audience of the season witnessed the production of "Under Southern Skies" Monday night in the Punxsutawney Opera House and Manager Weylman is to be congratulated for providing theatre goers in this place with such a superb attraction. The play is distinctively Southern. In its. main features it could happen in no] other part of the globe. "Under! Southern Skies" is unique among Southern plays from the fact that there is not a Northerner in the company, every character being a true (presentative of the people of that eel ion of the country. In speech nd the manner the company repreents the South as truly as the New Rnglander Is portrayed by the same uithor, Miss Lottie Blair Parker, in Way Down East." The two 'Colonels," one full of bluster and 'lowery oratory, the other cool, deiberate and unmoved, are finely conrasted, and their long standing •feud" furnishes much amusement or the audience. Major Crofton, vhose life holds a hidden sorrow is in impressive and interesting figure md the two lovers of the heroine are •arefully drawn portraits of different natures, although both are ex mples of the not blooded young southerner. The smaller parts are equally we.i presented and the old .larky, "Uncle Joshaway" is a lifeike and amusing character. The • oung heroine, Leila Crofton, is the •enter of Interest among her young ;irl frienus. The part is a difficult one to portray for she passes through all the stages of joy and that are woven about her throughout the plot of the play. The faithful old "Auntie" and the mischievous child "Anner Llzer are aughable creations true to the darkey of the south. The stage settings were the best seen here this season while Monroe's orcnestra added argely to the pleasure of the evening's entertainment.
