Lippincott's Magazine for December, 1898- The complete novel in the Decem ber issue of Lippincott's is by Annie Eliza Brand, and has its action main ly in London. "Mrs. Russed's Sister" is a young, well-to-do, ami attractive widow, who takes a small house in a back street with a view to benefiting her humbler neighbors: but her phil anthropic efforts are apt to require masculine assistance, and all her for titute cannot keep her lovers at a dis tance. "Lincoln of Coyote," by James T. Mcßay, is a plain Western tale of a weak and alcoholic husband, a wife whose patience is worn out, a dubious friend, and a faithful one wiio does what he can to mitigate the tragedy and acts as a sort of presiding genius. "Nobody's Fool," as described by L. S. Bernard, was an unpretentious person who knew how to turn the tables on a worthless wife. Charlotte Adams, in "Six Weeks on the Stage," gives an account of a brief and unprofitable theatrical experience. Kate Mason Rowland sketches "Philadelphia a Century Ago," chiefly through letters of Mrs. Stoddert, wife of our first Secretary of the Navy, when the city of Penn was the nation al capital. "Babylon the Great" is reconstruct ed from its ruins by Austin Bierbower who makes that mighty city of the re-1 mote past live again before us. Some account of "Verona" is by the late Bishop William Stevens Perry of lowa. "Table Sundries" (nuts, eggs, ber ries, etc.) are described by Calvin Dill Wilson. "Rudolfs Decision," in Anthony] Hope's last romance, is discussed by Frederic M. Bird, who aims to show that the case was clear, not open, as some have supposed. Alfred Balch takes ground for "Sig nature in Newspapers,—i. c., that re porters and others should bear the re sponsibility and get credit for what they write. The poetry of this number is by Mary E. Stickney, Carrie Blake Mor gan, Grace F". Pennypacker, and Francis Sterne Palmer. TRIAL LIST For December Term of Court. Commencing Monday, December 12th. David Llwcllyn vs. C. W. Kline.

THANKSGIVING- It is hoped that the good people of Bloomsburg will respond liberally to the call for a collection to be used for the relief of such of the poor of our town as may be suffering from sick ness as well as poverty. The collection taken on Thanks giving Day for the last fifteen years has been used exclusively for that purpose—just named; never yet has the amount been adequate to the demand, but has been supplemented by individual subscriptions amounting in some instances to one hundred dollars. Let us have a good generous dona tion this year. As God has given to you, so give to those who are less fortunate, re membering that "Whosoever giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord, and he will surely repay." While I have nearly regained my usual good health, I do not expect to do as much active work among the destitute as heretofore; but I have several efficient helpers among the King's Daughters who will do the work under my supervision.

WYOMING NOT IN IT- The Wilkesbarre Record gives the following account of the game of foot ball between the Normal School and Wyoming Seminary at the latter place. "In spite of the rain a large crowd assembled on Wyoming field 011 Sat urday to witness an excellent game of foot ball with Bloomsburg. The score was 6 to o in favor of Bloomsburg. Nobody seems to be able to ac count for the Seminary's failure to score. Twice they had the ball on Bloomsburg s goal line and once with in a few feet of it and nearly all the time within ten or fifteen yards. Only four minutes during the entire game was the ball MI Wyoming's territory, but those four minutes meant a touch down for Bloomsburg. Both teams played a straight, manly game. 'I he students speak in the highest terms of the visitors, and the home team says that Bloomsburg left nothing to be desired in the way of conduct, and is confident that a friend ly relation of the two rivals is now es tablished on a solid footing." The same teams will meet again to day on Normal Field. Harvard defeated Yale on Saturday at fact ball by the score of 17 to o. This victory makes Harvard cham pion this year, the team having met and defeated all comers during the whole season. Of course whether the victory over Pennsylvania was earned is a matter of conjecture, and many people believe the latter team to be : the better. If we are to judge the two team's strength by the scores made, in all their games, why then Pennsy is by far superior. It will be remembered that in the game against the Carlisle Indians, Pennsy ran up a tremendous big score while when Harvard tackled the red skins, it was anybody's game. Paper Free for One Month.
