The Ladies' Union Benevolent Society of Bloomsburg at their meeting on Saturday last decided that the society is not "defunct" in any sense of the word. Although we did not receive the Thanksgiv ing collection, we have received such hearty ' encouragement and substantial aid. including, besides cash, orders for merchandise, that we shall try to send out the usual number of Christmas baskets, a dozen or more, averaging in cost last year two dollars and ten cents each. This year the baskets will cost at least three dollars. Very gratefully, on behalf of the poor, the society will take any offering that will help us in making up these baskets: money, vegetables Mich as potatoes, turnips, beets cabbage, beans; fruits suet; as ap ples, pears, grapes, canned fruits. jellies; groceries such as rice, sugar (m two or three pound packages;, coffee, tea: provisions; flour (in twelve and a half pound sacks); small cakes such as cookies; bread, These may be brought to my resi dence, number one hundred fi rty three West First street, at any tim before the twentieth of this month, December, 1908.

Secretary Wilson has set his face grimly against any relaxation of tiie cattle and hay quarantine until the foot and inouih disease lias been absolutely stamped out in those States where it prevails. This fact was brought out clearly Mon day as a result of the visit of a del egation ot Michigan hay men, seek ing the removal of the embargo on the shipment of hay lrom that State. 1 he delegation did not see the Secretary, but they had interviews with Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, and Solicitor McCabe, of the De partment. These officials told the hay men emphatically that the em bargo could not be lifted lrom Michigan or other States in which the foot and mouth disease pre vailed uetil positive proof reached wasnington irom omciai sources that the plague had been eradica ted. Speaking of the matter, Sec retary Wilson had this to say: APPEALS OF NO AVAIL. "Appeals from any number of hay men will make no impression on me, in face ot the danger in volved in bringing hay out of an infected State. We have found 3255 cattle throughout the country suffering from the foot and mouth disease, and there are still 504 head we have not had time to kill, if every precaution is not taken to absolutely eradicate the plague, the United States will find itself in the same situation as every coun try, save Great Britain, in which it has never obtained a foothold. ' In view of the poss ble conse quences of negligence or an easy going policy, I cannot take the responsibility of relaxing in the slightest the drastic but necessary regulations that have been adopted to stamp out the cattle plague."

Lndicott Peabody, principal of Groton school, recently discussed the dan ger of the "vicious rich." He is principal of the school where the sons of President Roosevelt, John Hay and William C. Whitney pre pared for college. He said: "It is the vicious, idle rich from whom wc have to fear more than from auy other element in our modern life. Their viciousness is of the mo t violent sort and is the most harmful since it is so far reaching. Besides those who are born rich, another class to be fear ed are those who become rich and are unable to stand prosperity. "We no longer fear people in high authority, and in one way this is a good thing. But we do not fear God auy longer, it scems sometimes. What wo do fear and what is bad is material thiugs. 'Things are in the saddle and ride mankind.' " "Tics that Bind" is a new book by Rev. A. Houtz of Orangeville. It is well written, neatly bound in cloth, and is very fascinating.
