How strange ! When Vermont
showed only a slightly reduced ma

papers throughout the land were
pointing to it as a sure indication
of the election of Taft. When Maine
went Republican by only eight

twenty-five years, the same journals
are busying themselves to the point
of ridiculousness to make their read
ers believe that it has no bearing

Snsquohaiiru Going Dry.
Drought Makei Great Stream Look Like a
Rivulet at Harrisburg.
After lasting three days longer
than any period of rainless weather
in the twenty years of the branch
of the United States weather bu
reau at Ilarrisburg, the drought
that has turned the great Susque
hanna to a rivulet trickling away
around rocks that usually are un
der several feet of water and has
turned the land over a great part of
the State and country to barren
dust is likely to continue unbroken.
The forecast is for continued "fair"
weather, though that word has
ceased to mean "rainless" weather
in the minds of many to whom the
lack of rainfall is causing loss and
suffering. For them the fairest
thing in meteorological effects
would be a soaking rain.
A rain to do any good now will
have to be a soaker. An ordinary
"pouring" rain would be absorbed
into the earth so quickly that it
would have little effect other than
settling the dost.

effort to make the meeting eclipse
all its previous efforts. There will
be a larger and better exhibition of

Jewish Holidays.
Now Yeir'i, Atonement and Feast of Bqolhi
Are Three Great Dayi.
The season of the Jewish holi
days will begin during the latter
part of this mouth and extend well
into October. This is a time of
particular religious and historical
importance aud is generally observ
ed among the Jews throughout the
world.
The holidays this year extend
from September 26th to October 17;
the three great days being New
Year's on September 26th, Day of
Atonement on October 6th and the
Feast of Booths which extends
from Octoler nth to 17th. The
first two are of purely religious sig
nificance and the last has also a
historical importance.
These holidays reach way back
into antiquity for their source, to a
time when the lunar calendar was
that of all Eastern peoples, and so
these holidays are still determined
by lunar calendation.
New Year's day marks the be
ginning of the religious year of the
Jewish faith, and derives its sancti
ty from the fact that it is prelimi
nary to the great Day of Atone
ment, which, as its name implies,
is intended as a time for the atone
ment, for sins aud short comings
through prayer, self-inquiry and
contemplation. This day is regard
ed by the Jewish people as a day of
great solemnity.
Five days after Atonement comes
the Feast ot Bootns, which is a
thanksgiving festival. During the
Jewish commonwealth in Judea it
was made the occasion for thanks
giving to God for the season's crops,
which by that time had been gar
nered. It was also connected with
the period of Jewish history follow
ing the exodus from F.gypt when
the Jews lived in the wilderness in
tents. This fact is commemorated
by the erection of booths usually in
the synagogue and by many indi
viduals in their homes. This last
holiday is of a week's duration, but
only the first aud last days are ob
served by temple services.
May Stop Trains on P. & R.
The Catawissa Division Needs Rain.
So low is the water supply get
ting on the Catawissa division of
the Philadelphia and Reading rail
road that traffic all along the line
is being held up.
Practically all the trains are now
watering at Maiuville, the supply
having given out at Beaver, Feru
dale and Brandonville. Even the
passenger trains which usually wa
ter at Beaver are now getting water
at Maiuville and the supply there
is so limited that freight trains are
frequently delayed several hours
while sufficient water is accumulat
ing in the tank to allow them to
get a supply.
If the present conditions prevail
much longer it will be with great
difficulty that trains can be operat
ed on this division.
A Beautiful Flag.
Every American with real red
blood in his veins loves our flag.
But do you possess a good one ?
You can get a beautiful flag almost
free if you will send $3.50 to "The
Philadelphia Press." This will en
title you to "The Press" daily, ex
cept Sunday, for one year by mail,
postage paid, and also a fine hand
sewed flag, size 3x5 feet, fast col
ors, fully guaranteed. This flag
also is really worth the amount
asked and then you get the great
home newspaper of Philadelphia.
Be a patriot ! When you have a
good flag you can demonstrate your
patriotism at a time when "Old
Glory'' should be displayed. If
your children are set a good exam
ple they will learn to love "Old
Glory" like they should be taugttt.
Today is the time to order. Send
all orders to Circulation Depart
ment of "The Press," or hand your
order to the newsdealer or post
master. "At the Old Cross Roads."
The fame of Arthur C. Aiston's
"At the Old Cross Roads" Compa
ny is well known here and it will
no doubt be greeted by a large au
dience when it Is presented at the
Columbia Theatre, Saturday man
nee and evening. This is the sev

"Advance Thanks.
The phrase "Thanking you in
anticipation" is now becoming com
mon, i think it is one of the mean
est ever invented and one of the
most insulting, for it implies that,
however much pains the worker
may take, he will get no thanks for
it afterward. Why should he ? He
has been thanked already. It far
ther implies an imperious and In
sufferable demand which must and
shall have immediate attention on
pain of being considered no gentle
man. Surely no one who really
respects a correspondent ought to
employ this touting bagman's,
phrase. Professor Skeat in London
