Petty thieves are robbing the gardens of the North Parkers of potatoes and other vegetables. Miss Jennie Chambers is visiting Miss Helen Young in Olyphant. The members of Company who are home on furloughs or otherwise, are unanimous in denouncing the cowardice of the officers generally for not trying to have the regiment sent to the front during the war and for their mercernary spirit after the war is over.

The peti tions to go to the front during the war were signed only by men, while after the war is over the officers want to take the poor fellows, who have already suf fered enough from lack of official care to a more deadly climate. The fact of the matter is that most of the officers are receiving more pay in the service of Uncle Sam than when at home which, perhaps, accounts for their wishing to be retained. The boys of this company are agreed that they have the best colonel in the service, but of some of their company officers? It is to be hoped that the Thirteenth may soon be mustered out.

James Weir writes In The Medical Record that some animals, exceedingly low in the scale of life, give evidences of the possession of ratlooinative faculty, the same in kind, though not in degree, as that posssiised by man. The doctor quotas the results of his observations of minute anlmaloulaj of very low organization. Iu his experiments ha saw "memory, con Bqloua observation and the fundamental principles of reason clearly demonstrated. In the case of a wasp the rlootar relates an instance In which, after a disagreeable effort to fly through a glass window, the insect sought for other means of egress, and, after having discovered a small hole in one of the panes, made uso of it afterward, even when the window was open. In his experience with fleas, however, Dr.

Weir draws very heavily upon our faith in mankind. We all know that this little pest has a trick of vanishing just about the time we are about to annihilate him, and while we were quite prepared to in vest him with the attribute of malice, we must confess that the quality of conscious humor had not ocourred to us up to this time. The flea, according to the doctor, is an insect of infinite jest, which teases bis brothers and sisters just as the naughty littlo boy In the books. This is not a theory of the doctor, but is the result of his observation. He has seen the oomody enacted on a dog's legs, where a flea is supposed to be happiest.

Heroafter, when an unfortunate mortal is the victim of a fioa's agility and is chasing the nimble little insect from hood to heel, it may relievo the bite to be informed that Mr. Flea is simply getting rid of his superabundant humor and is enjoying the situation most keenly. That reflection may make us kinder to an insect which, in proportion to size, hag a greater capacity for producing misory than any other insect known to the entomologist or suffering humanity. Whon the nea la "caTortlng" over the human body, do not grow angry or profane. Ho Is only amusing himself.

It is his way joking. Friendships of Animals. Animals form very strong and very strango friendships. Thus, for Instance, a lioness from Somallland has recently taken under her proteotion a youthful bull terrier, which she treats as well as If he were her own son and heir. Curiously enough she will have nothing whatever to with lior young friend's affeotionate brothers and sisters, and, while the favorite reposes securely under her protecting paw, she has nothing but a very suggestive snarl for all the rest.

Again, there is a young Maltese cat, whloh, on finding out In some mysterious manner that a nestful of tiny chickens were left motherless, took the orphaned family at jiico In hand, or rather paw, and the fluffy party made themselves Immediately at home in tho warm fur coat the strange foster mother. If, we are told, one of the babies evor hoppens to stray too far afield, the furry foster mother recalls it at once with a plaintive mew. An equally curious case Is told by M. Bel let of a terrier and a cat, both of whom were the mothers of happy families in the same stables, exchanging their progeny and nursing and tending their adopted children with the utmost care.

Women must get something from their meetings or they will not come. Make your work educational. You have thought that i your work was to close the saloons, but how can you do it with the political machinery and the greed for gain op posed to you and you with no elective power whatever? You can't do it. I think women are great geese to try It, but you can enter your protest against your minister and your Sunday school superintendent using tobacco and set ting this evil example to your boy. I wouldn't send my boy to a school where the teacher uses tobacco.

I Would make It so hot for the school board that they would be glad to get another teacher. The question was asked: "What would you do if this same school board were steeped in tobacco themselves?" Well, I would make it hot for them too. The president announced that Mrs. Hoffman would answer questions in regard to the temple.

Women don't know a great deal about stocks and bonds, and, In fact, I know a man or two that don't." The temple was at all times since its inception only an affiliated interest, and while heartily sorry for the mistakes and mismanagement of the same, the W. C. T. U. cannot be held morally or legally responsible, as it was at no time an Interest which the executive body could control.

The following resolutions were adopted: We. the w. C. T. u.

or Lackawanna county, hereby resolve, That in the year to come we will renew our efforts to secure total abstinence for the Indivi dual and absolute prohibition for the state and nation. 2. As the training of the rising gen eration along the lines of temperance and purity is the bulwark of strength for the future, and as we recognize the danger that threatens the youth of our public schools from the use of tobacco, we respectfully ask our teachers, as far as practicable to organize anti cigarette leagues among their pupils. 3. We realize this year more than ever before the great losses which our cause has sustained in trie promotion of our beloved leaders and workers, and feel that there must be more earnest consecration on the part of those who remain, if we would pernetuate the life and power of the W.

C. T. U. 4 Resolved, That we heartily endorse the action of the genral officers and executive committee concerning the temple. We wish to express our thanks for the very clear statement sent out from their meeting held last July in Chicago.

5 Resolved, That our state paper, the Bulletin, should be read 'by every member of our unions, and 'be in fact as well as In name the organ of the W. C. T. U. of the state.

To this end we recom mend that some plan tie devised by which every local union becomes responsible for a sufficient number of copies to supply each of Its members. We also recommend that the publisher be editor in chief, and that there be also a board of managers of which the state rrenident shall be chairman. This resolution created rnriKirlprahl discussion, hut it was finally AeriAvl fr. leave this matter to the state convention to decide. fi Resolved, Thtt we extend our thanks to the Cartiondale union for their gracious hospitality; to the pastors for their presence and kind words of encouragement, and to all who have in any way contributed to the success of this most delightful gathering.

7 Resolved, That we express our sincere appreciation of the work of our county superintendent of scientific temperance instruction and, recognising this as one of the most important departments of our work, we earnestly ask for her the hearty cooperation of local superintendents for the coming year. 8 Resolved; That we recognize in Dr. Swallow a worthy standard bearer for the cause to which, we are pledged and appreciating his efforts for an honest administration of public affairs, and also to secure the abolishment of the army canteen, which has been the source of so much evil, and which we so greatly deplore, we urge our husbands, sons and' brothers to truly represent us at the polls and vote fo Dr. Swallow.
