Sweeney of Laporte was cnllinrr r>n hliainPKK men of this ho left and the business men were poorer. Not many miles away a consta ble had a warrant to arrest a man. He got his man and did not get him for the simple reason that when the prisoner got permission to wash himself l>efore appearing before his 'Squireship to receive his just dues, he took a walk and left the constable awaiting his re turn, but up to this time he has not come back. A word to the wise is sufficient: Never enjoy yourself in other company and let your man escape. Glass Eye Explodes. Frank R. Minner, city building inspector of Allentown, has exper ienced the most peculiar accident ever known in that vicinity, lie was granting a permit to a pros pective builder when a glass eye he has worn for many years exploded with a report like a pistol shot. Few of his friends knew of it, but 20 years ago Mr. Minner met with an A accident whereby he lost his left eye and since then has worn an artificial orb. The man to whom he was grant ing a permit was naturally startled as he saw Minner sink back and hold his hand to his eye and then sink into a faint while the eye bled profusely. Dr. Eugene M. Kistler found many painful lacerations about tlie face but could find no reason for the glass eye exploding. Neither could the optician who had fur nished it. Mr. Minner is laid up from the shock, but physicians say that unless splinters of glass have entered the brain, he will recover. Memorial Services. Memorial services held in the M. E. church on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, which consisted of music by the choir, reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by Olive E. Keeler and an address by Rev. C. H. Doupe.

A Cow For a Life. The Ober Gabelhorn is a peak no torious for the dangerous cornices which decorate its upper ridges. Of many accidents reported in connection with it perhaps the most remarkable, says Q. 1). Abraham in "Swiss Moun tain Climbs," was the adventure which befell an amateur and his young guide. In passing along the dangerous final cornice It suddenly gave, way under the amateur, and he went flying ; through space to apparent destruction. The guide at the other end of the rope seemed in hopeless plight, but with astounding presence of mind he flung himself down the opposite side of the ridge, thus saving two lives. The rope cut deep into the snow above, but held llrru. The young guide's name was , Ulrich Aimer. His reward was a cow. A Horticultural Puzzle. "It's no use," sighs the nature wiz ard.

THE MERE NAN'S VIEWPOINT THE STOUT HEART WINS By BYRON WiLLIAMS TIIR woman to whom has been revealed the truth knows what a mistake It is to give oneself despair. Then everything is lost! History teems with stories of men and women who but for despair might have won. Literature is loaded with instances of Individuals who by holding out a little longer might have "lived happily ever after." Sir Tannhnuser, the legendary hero of Germany, escaping from the thral dom of sensual passion, sought abso lution at Itome from the pope, who said, "You can no more hope for par don than this dry wand can bud and bear leaves." Tannhauser, giving up to despair, went lils way, and, behold, the pope's staff miraculously sprouted! Messen gers were sent to find Tannhawser, but lie was gone. Instead of hoping he had abandoned himself to the awful blackness of sorrow und had disap peared. Woman, Tannhauser would have been absolved, ho would have been restored to happiness and to love, if lie had stood out against despair. Cousidor the case of tlie Babylonian lovers Tyramus and Tlilsbe. To the tryst at Nlnus* tomb came Thisbe. Driven nway by a lion, she fled to a place of safety. Pyramus, arriving at the tomb and believing his beloved Thisbe was dead, gave himself up to despair and killed himself. Thisbe, re luming, found her lover cold in death and took her own life. Had Pyramus embraced hope in stead of despair the story would have had a most delightful ending, or might not have been written at all. In Matthew Arnold's poem, "Tris tram and Iscult," Tristram, lying wounded, awaits the coming of Isolde. If the white flag were hoisted it was nlie that approached. When told the Kail was black Tristram gave up and, courting death, died before Isolde, un der the white shil, arrived. .lust a little more hope, just a little more faith, and all would have been well. llow many defeats have been turned into victories by some brave heart that refused to be conquered! How many irmies have gone down to defeat be ;ause they acked a leader possessing the characteristic that makes a man fight on and on against great odds, de fying defeat, knowing no conqueror, icknowledging no subjugator! your 1(1 glit 'is, 1111 matter' \vViat''tlieVi'iM yon aro carrying, do not enter the, slough of despond, do not despair.

Despair dulls the mind, stops the flow of pul"'.ug blood in your veins, makes on invalid of you. Hope feeds the spirits and quickens the body. In the garden of hope grow flowers for every hand. Hope is an enehauter, a tonic, n panacea for all ills. All about me in the city 1 see men who have given up the battlo in the turmoil of trade. I see men broken and dispirited, men who have aban doned bopo and embraced despair. Henceforth for them there will be no sun shining through their cypress trees. All ahead is blackuess and ob livion. They are the wreckage that floats up from the great sea of endeavor, the de bris of commercialism. Upon the shore of failure there lie thpusands of these wrecked hopes that now are Bymbols of despair, but upon that long shore line cannot bo found one man with hope in his heart. Hope is an old friend. It comes to us at cradlo time and will be constant and true, even beyond the grave. If we Will but make a confidant and a com panion of it. Despair Is a stranger that comes to us later in life to pive tears to our eyes and aching pains to our hearts. Despair usurps the place of happi ness and, rude beyond measure, drives from the citadel of our being all those things that make life glad and happy and worth living. And when all the dear things of our being have been beaten ont of us by this monster it gives nothing in return but sorrow and ttttorneM and woe. be on your guard, madam. When despair leaves its visiting card at your front door take warning lest it come Rfia&a and again and ruin your life. M.
