Our library has now been in existence for one year anil a balf. During this time it has been kept in active working order by the strenuous efforts of the ladies of our town, together with the good will of the citizens. The time has now arrived when ilif. directors feel that another wav .should tie lounc oy which mis in stitution can be maintained. You with the rest of the public are tired of being asked to attend entertain ments, pie and cake sales, euchres, etc ; to accomplish this end and in order to do away with these means of making money the ladies of the library directors have decided to make a house to bouse canvas dur ing the next two or three weeks, asking each citizen to give as he is able to this noble cause. If sufficient money can be raised in this way the citizens will not be asked to buy tickets, attend sales or anything of the kind, but will be called upon once a year for their subscriptions. If this can be ac complished it will make the running of the library an easy matter. Think over the question of li brary maintenance carefully so that when called upon by one of the ladies you will be ready to respond promptly. Louise H. Dillon, Secretary Library Directors.

" mm mm "NOT FCR A MILLION "Dora Thome," a dramatized novel of the present season, marks a new departure in melodrama. The story cf the play follows the book accurately enough to permit the use of the title, but the play wright has chosen the incidents and happenings with excellent taste, and woven them into a play that is in teresting in the extreme. The audience cannot help but engage themselves sympathetically with every turn ot the fortunes of Dora Thorne, a girl whom the English would call "low born"; who won affection of and married the duke's son. The resultant plot may be mapped out. but the treatment of her natural girlish exuberance in contrast to the habitual reserve and repression of the manner aristo cratic, must be seen to be appreciated- A large share of the success ot the performance is due to the cast, which is strong throughout, including as it does, Miss Cuba Niblo in the name part, Miss Isabel Sherman, who caufes all the trouble and that sterling actor of old men characters, Mr. George C. Denton. "Dora Thorne" will be seen at the Opera House, Thursday evening, February 9th. THE HOLY CITY. The Holy City is correctly de scribed in the theatre program as a powerful dramatic story of old Jerusalem in the time of our Saviour. It is a very strong play and Gordon & Bennett's presenta tion at the Academy last evening was a creditable one. The com pany is good . and some members played their parts in splendidly convincing style. Charles M. Greene as Caiaphas, the high priest ; Clyde B. Callicotte as Marius, a young Roman ; Raymond Gilbert as John the Baptist and Pontius Pilate; Amelia Maborn as Herodias ; Fred N Allen as John, the beloved disciple ; Edwin Hoyt as Judas, and Leon Robert son as Peter, deserve especial men tion. The settings are fine and costumes historically accurate and pleasing. The final scene, the grand transformation of the holy sepulchre, the resurrection , and flight ot angels and the gates of the new Jerusalem is a beautiful one. The atmosphere of the play is holy and impressive and made a good impression on the audience, The Morning Star, Meadville, Pa., Oct. 20.

It was now long past midnight They lind m; Id tint nt daybreak, If the trenches of the enemy had not been vncuted, the troops would move for wnrd. Foremost In that charge would be Captain Alexander Forbes, and to Alice there wnH no one In the line so brave ns her soldier brother. Together they hnd studied army tnetlcs, and when his regiment had been ordered to the Philippines she had not rested un til she hud made arrangements to fol low him. How noble, he wns, how heroic, how different from But there! It was lib surd oven to think of Dr. Wallace tn the same hour with Alexander. Still, n realization that hep refusal of him hnd sorely hurt the quiet doctor gave her nn uneasy sense of not being quite on good terms with herself. Out there, covered by the darkness, the troops were reudy, und Alice, lean ing upon the window ledge, fancied that through the stillness she could hear the pulso beats of the men wait ing. She thought of Alexander, eager, wakeful. Had sho dozed? A low spoken com mand reached her ear, nnd the voice surely It was that of Gough Wallace. "Stop! Who are you, nnd whnt do you want?" "I am never mind who I nm! Let mo pass!" The first tone of the response bad brought Alice to her feet. "Oh, It's you, Forbes! Then perhaps It's my place to explain." The doctor's voice, still very low, had taken another tone, nnd Alice henrd her brother spring lightly from his horse. "I managed to get permission to quarter Alice In this building. You know how anxious she la to see every detail of your work to morrow,' nnd from here she can watch In perfect safety. However" the doc tor's voice broke somewhnt nervously "I didn't like leaving her here on a night to full of unpleusant possibili ties, nnd I decided to remain nenr her In ense of un nlnrni." Alice was but faintly conscious of her feeling of gratitude toward the doctor. What hnd brought her brother here? "It's more than kind of you, Wallace. I was n little nervous about her" "Oh, then you knew thut she was here?" "Yes no" Alice observed that ho was fumbling strangely with his re ply. "There will be some busy hours for nil of us tomorrow," remarked Dr. Wallace. "Of course your men nro oil wild to begin. Alice Is very proud that you have the position of honor, It com pany leads, I understand." "Yes; B company lends." Again the girl observed thnt curious weakness of tone. "Forbes" the doctor was speaking hurriedly "I Judge from your manner that you ore not quite nt ease about the little girl here. Let mo relieve you of any unxlety on her account. If things go badly tomorrow, trust me to stand by her ns friend nnd brother. I ought to tell you thnt I had hoped to be something more to her, but she thinks differently nbout the matter. I don't measure very much In her eyes beside you." The words were spoken lightly, but Alice, listening, felt the keenness of their edge. "Only a little while now between you nnd glory, Forbes. There Isn't much of this blnck night left." "No; there isn't. That's Just It." Forbes Jerked the words out with sin gular emphasis. "Wallace, I believe thnt, after nil, I shan't be able to lend my men In that charge." "Forbes!" The doctor's exclamation drowned Alice's gasp of horrified amazement. "The truth Is that I-that I have been 111 all night." The tremor In his voice translated the words for Alice, but the doctor had no suspicion of their meaning. "Why, Forbes, you're all right. It's your first time under fire, and natural ly yon feel the responsibility, but you'll go through in fine style, nnd Alice will sing your praises more loudly than ever. You haven't inucl) more time to wait now, Forbes." A thin silver blade along the horizon was cutting tho black night from the earth. "No; not much more time," Could that spiritless voice belong to Alexan der? "At daybreak," the orders read. "And If nfter the battle I nm dead or or missing you'll help Alice" "Have no fear for Alice. The thought of her love for you and her faith in jour Invincible courage will help carry you through safely." "I know, I know, nnd for her sake doctor, supposo I disgrace myself by becoming ill on the field. Would It not be better to let Lleutennnt Huberts take command in this engagement, nnd maybe you can do something for me to help mo Join them Inter in the day?" An unusual sternness gave a steely ring to tho doctor's voice. "If you are not t'.iore nt the opening of tho charge, you'll never get tho men to follow yom again.

We're only flesh and blood, Forbes, but there arc hours when we must become something harder, nnd your hour Is here." The view nbout them was slowly widening ns the darkness rolled awny. Alexander Forbes stepped back n pnee, nnd Alice looked down upon him. One glance nt the shrinking figure confirm ed her worst fears. She sank down upon the window ledge, shamed to the soul by the revelation of his cowardice. She was roused by the sudden blust of a bugle, the call to arms that she hnd beard in her dreams so many times. It drew her to her feet, and sho looked down at Alexander. He could not fall to respond, she thought, and then the doctor's voice cnnie up ugaln to her. "Forbes!" The doctor had seized Alexander and dragged him to his horse. "Mount nnd go!" But Alexnnder was past speech. He stood looking miserably at the doctor, and Alice closed her eyes to shut out the wretchedness of his face. She opened them ngntn nt the sud den sound of a galloping horse's hoof beats. He had gone, then! No; fee wits still there under her window, a limp heap. But In the weird dusk of the new day she saw liough Wallace, mounted upon Alexander's horse, dashing rapidly ncross the fields. le horse sped on past the ranks of B com pany straight for the lntrenchments of ".Mount ixnd flo" the enemy. Then, mingled with the confused Bounds of the opening bnttlo, she heard a tremendous shout go up: "Forbes! Forbes! Hurrah! Forbes!" Over the uneven tields the men were scrambling nfter the fearless rider, the darkness hiding from them the fact that he was not their captain. The cry had reached Alexander. Alice saw him rise nnd listen. The name rang out once more, "Forbes!" and then a broken cheer. The work of bnttlo had begun, nnd the cheer hnd brought the soldier spirit bnck into Alexander's blood. Alice saw hipi drop his cowering manner ns a prisoner might step out of his shac kles. She leaned forward to cry out to him in her eagerness, but Alexander wns running swiftly over the fields, fol lowing the shouting voices. t)ovn through the ranks of hnstily forming companies he ran, through trenches nnd ditches, over rock and stone and stubble, to where B company was drawing together at the front. Un der the untrained leader the men were forming wildly, uncertainly. The un even fire of tho enemy was finding vic tims on every side. He pressed 011 without stopping until he seized the bridle of hlo horse. Gough Wnllnce looked down Into the face of the soldier. It was quiet nnd resolute, but the torch of war was blaz ing In his eyes. "There's better work for you back there, Wallace," said Alexander, and then tho first heavy volley from the en emy gnvo emphasis to his words. Ciough Wallace did not reply. The volley had cut Into B company, nnd iu the uncertain light Captain Forbes saw the doctor plunge headlong from the saddle. An Instant later the music of Alexander's martial commands cut a path through the noise, and B company formed Into firing Hues. Many hours later the doctor opened his eyes In the tent of tho army sur geon. The first glance that met his wus that of his chief; then a hand stole into his, und Wallace looked up Into tho blue eyes of Alice Forbes. "Our wur correspondent has turned nurse, Wallace, and you're under or ders for the present," explained the surgeon. "I don't know how you man aged to get yourself into that tangle at the front, but that's where tho hos pital men found you. There's not much wrong with you, only now you'll have to take thnt vacation that I've been ad vising. I'll have you in shape for the first transport that leaves." "The very first," supplemented Alice, with a tremulous teuderuess that re vived a stifled dream in the young doc tor's hecrt mmMmm PA. xxxxxkoxx? SATURDAY, FEB. 4th.

Miss Forbes bent low over the cot, her lips trembling, her eyes filled with a look that answered a longing In the heart of Gough Wallace, although she answered the surgeon: "I shall wish to follow always wherever my hero leads."
