We answer by asking, do you use

H HER POINT OF VIEW
Military parades after all are tho
real parades. A little maid looking on
as the procession moved up Jefferson
avenue the other day, said In a disap
pointed tone, "Dear me, nothing but
soldiers; where arc some of the uvver
ling?" To which query her small
brother remarked Indignantly, "Oh,
you're a gltl. lou don't know that
soldiers are the only things worth
while In the world. I s'pose you'd
rather see a hand oigan and a monkey
go by. You inuke mo tired!" and tho
little mnld was thoroughly snubbed not
fore-seeing in her busy little brain
tlie days not so far distant when a
Uniterm with brass buttons and the
lordly leaves on a blue sleeve or per
haps only a narrow strap on th
shoulder will look to her feminine
gaze the noblest, ilnest sight on earth.
There is a sentiment nbout a strict
ly military parade that Is characteris
tic of no other whether R may bo the
glittering regalia of some fam
ous order with Its slddy aprons,
tho waving plumes and the gorgeous
banners or the inarching columns cele
brating some great political victory.
Tlie rows upon tows of soldiers repre
sent a heritage of history of "battle's
magnificent array" of Boman legions,
of "furious Trank and fiery Hun," of
Cnstllllan nobles under the standard
of Spain's proudest days, of Henry of
Navarre and his splendid soldiery, of
England'; knights following him of
tlie Lion-Heart of unhappy Marino
Follerl and tlie glory of Venice and
beyond those years to the memory of a
rich dim city where the Blameless
King held his court itmld tlie chiv
alry of tlie Table Round nnd marched
to battle for his Lord, for purity and
for tho light, .
The soldiers of Pennsylvania have
no frills and there is the absence of
glitter and display that at the presi
dential Inaugurations: have elicited the
loproaches of lino ladles who from their
window casements lamented audibly:
"Oh, there are those tiresom? Penn
sylvania troops! Wo believe they Just
mareh round and round in an endless
chain for they never seem to get past."
Their fatigue bats droop dolefully in
tho back, or make fantastic curves nt
tho side or stand up partly in front.
Even their lcgulntion caps are wobbly
in places because the youngsters, so
many of them are youngsters you
know, with tlie perversity of youth
and the obliquity of vision that some
times characterizes a soldier and even
i hero, have pulled the wires from
these caps because they looked so much
like tlie headgear of a street car con
ductor or a motnrman, although not
unfrequently street car men are al
most ns heroic in their special sphere
as a member of tho regular army.
Well the Thirteenth regiment could
not bo said to depend on line clothes
for good looks, since as far as attire
went, the men were rather shabbier
than the Eleventh with their new
uniforms, but they did look hand
some to everybody and everybody was
as glad to see them and ns proud of
them as It they had "tit" and bled
and almost died in battle. There is a
sentiment connected with a military
parade and particularly with this one
that Is a good thing to awaken in the
average heart.
a i.
There is nothing th" matter with the
uniform of tlie governor's staff how
ever, and tlie governor has used excel
lent discrimination In selecting ttaff
material if one Is to judge by appear
ance's. The glorilled epaulets and tho
system of martingales in braided gold
across the broad chests of those staff
olbccrs were poroly Impressive beyond
most mundane affairs. As a man in
tha audience remarked the other night:
"Nobody could doubt that the conn
try was safe after looking at that
second row on tlie? stage-." If only the
other half of the staff could have been
present, nothing would have remained
to be desired. Oddly enough Pittsburg
was best represented as to numbers,
Philadelphia, as usual, being slow.
Mrs. Stone did not come and thereby
Scrantonlans who wanted to get a
glimpse of the governor's handsome
young wife were not n little disap
pointed. She would have been mo3t
graciously received not only for her
own sweet sake but because the peo
ple here greatly admire the big gov
ernor who says such sensible things
in such nn earnest way and so contlnu
ally Impresses everyone with his sin
cerity. If lie Is good and keeps on
making such favorable impressions in
tills citv, the Thirteenth regiment and
its friends will let him have a warm
place in their hearts similar to that
now labeled "General Gobln, His
Quarters.''
FNBIDDEN GUESTS.
Last night, in the sweet chill moonlight,
As tho bluo clad troops marched in
To meet mayhap forever
No moro ns comrade kin,
Tho streets grew softly silent
As the latest soldier boy
Passed through the welcoming doorway
For an hour of greeting Joy.
And never a llst'nlng watcher
Saw u little band of men,
Who hoveied just oi.lsldo the portal
And shivering, hearkened again
To a far faint bugle railing
From a Southern Army camp.
Like u note of doom upsw oiling
Out of the dark and damp.
The faces were white 'neath the leaning
Of the blue caps' vlsored (.hade.
And never a lightest whisper
Tho palo lips grimly mndo;
But they waited outside tho portal
While tho drum-beats rolled within.
And voices told of the gladness
With speech and merriest din.
Never to Join In tlie revel
'Round the camp fire, gleaming late;
Never, at dear home comlrg.
To rush Into nuns that Malt;
Never to murmur "Comrade."
And hold with tensest hand
Ono who Is rroro than brother
In the fondly-loved command.
Just n llttlo score, they lingered
Last night the portal outside;
With only a grave for n welcome
Those wraiths of the hoys who died.

Over a year ago a number of tho
members of tho Younsr Men's Christian
nsfcociatlom met and organized a
"Young Men's Forum," the purpose of
which was to caln mutual benefit by
discussion of tin' current topics of tho
day and methods of pood Rovernment.
From first tn last the Interest In the
Forum was sustained nnd each meet
inc; has resulted in positive gain.
hast night ns a tlttiiifr close to the
first year's work, a bannuet was held
at the Hotel Rudolph and with but a
few exceptions every member was pres
ent. Though originally intended only
as a bannuet. a pleasant adjunct was
created- by tho return of tho Thir
teenth regiment In whose ranks were
three of the Forum's most active mem
bers. Thus the affair, by necessity
lost a part of Its identity us a banquet;
becoming a leception to the soldler
niembers. The gentlemen accorded the honor
were T. A. Surdam, (Jeorge W. Walton
nnd Lewis II. Carter, till privates in
Company D. At the conclusion nf the
m.mu cigars were passed and the re
sponse to toasts were made. Each
speaker Indicated the benefit which has
certainly com? to him by tlie sessions
of tho society nnd the responses though
short, were brimful of good substance.
The menu, well seleeted and properly
served, was us follows:

RESPONSES TO TOASTS.
Attorney W. J. Douglass, acting as
toastmaster, made a few remarks in
opening tlie post-prandial exercises.
Ho greeted tho guests of honor In be
liulf of the Forum nnd expressed tho
pleasure felt by all that they were
once more In their accustomed places.
Ho then called upon O. W. Zimmer
man, who was recently a candidate for
otllco in Dunmore borough, to deliver
the address of welcome.
Mr. Zimmerman referred to the go
Ing away of tho regiment, the loss felt
by the Forum In the absence of three
of Its active members, and tho pride
felt by tlie society that they were well
represented. Also of the return and
their delight In having the soldier
members once more In their midst. He
concluded his remurks with the
thought that the affair of the evening
marked the opening of a new era to
tho Forum In which they could take
Just pride.
In behulf of the soldier trio, L. P..
Carter replied to the address of wel
come. He said that the pleasures of
camp over-shadowed the hardships,
and he knew that ho and his com
rades wero proud of having gone with
the regiment, but wero very glad to
bo back.
"Our New Colonies," the toast as
signed to F. C. Baker, was cleverly
responded to. The speaker was serio

II. B. Wilbur, In responding to the
toast "Political Forecast," kept his
hearers In a continual .state of merri

with unseemly possibilities.
The toast "Tho Girls They Left Be

Adam Kaufman responded to the
subject "Our Colleges." The main
thought was that the college education,
though not a necessity, was of prime
benefit.
In responding to the toast "Future
of the Forum," W, A. Price touched
upon the nspects as they were, are and
in part, should be. Tho Forum was
well begun, had run the course of one
year with deserved success and en
tered upon a second with hope and
experience.
Tlie first nnnunl banquet of tho For

The Interest in the Rosenthal con
certs continues unabated, and tho ap
pearance of the great pianist at the
Lyceum in Scranton on Apt II 12th. is
liable to create enthusiasm almost
equal to that upon his first appearance
at Carnegie Hall, New Yoik, when the
young ladles of tho audience threw
violets at tho virtuoso. The Morning:
Advertiser In speaking of one of the
New York concerts, fully Justifies the
admirers of tho artist In their unusual
display of enthusiasm. The advertiser
says: "This is Rosenthal week In the
world of music. Carnegie Hall yester
day afternoon was well filled with lov
ers of the art of playing tho piano per
fectly, and the Napoleon of pianists
sent them away satisfied, happy, and
enthusiastic. At the close, after he had
played Liszt's preposterous arrange
ment of the William Tell overture, the
crowd yelled itself hoarbe and I saw
handkerchiefs and hats waved and the
little virtuoso had to play again. Ho
gave us the gem of the afternoon, ono
of three supplementary 'etuhles, 'the
one In A flat. Any doubt about his
tone color or tenderness was refuted by
hla exquisite interpretation of this
v
charming bit of Chopin. It was the
most poetic plnyng lie has vouchsafed
us tills season.

"Dee. 13 Eddie LLieut. Nosier and I
just got buck from the city. We live m
the suburbs, just like some of til
many additions nt home where It H
thickly settled. .But there are no stores
out here; only fruit stands, and If wo
want anything else. io take a rU and
go to tlie city for it, about one and .b
half miles. We have had no rain slm o
I came, nlthoush It has been el mdy
"We are still eating with the ndlcc-,,
as the house Isn't painted yet. Tn y
are so slow here. This is o dieadiul
place to get anything in. They simply
don't know what ip meant I y a cook
stove, the most necessary thing on
earth. They use n kind of a iln-placo
to cook cm. There are a lew, two or
throe, steel innses, not out-half, no,
not one-quarter, as nice ns mine, and
tliey want $123 for them. I would wil
lingly give $23 for a No. fl stove. 1 uf
there simply are none for love (
money..
"After riding nrouiiff nil nttcinnin,
we found one little cook stove with tvi
lids and nn oven about a foot squat e -not
nn American stove on high legs- n.

him tomorrow and try to got It for $in.
1 doubt If it will bake, but if i, Is bet
ter than none nt nil.
",It Is Just the same with everything
olse. We tiled all over to get some milk
thread to make my pongee silk dress,
but could tlnd none. .Monday morning
we will have n Spanish teacher com.
hero to our home v tench us and
eighteen of our boys.
"Saturday, while wo were at dinner,
between 3:30 nnd 7 o'clock, some na
tives got Into our house tliioush tb
window and helped themselves. W"
cumo In nnd scared them out, or w "
wouldn't have hud a thing left. They
say they will even take nn old plate if
they can't steal anything else. They
got away with my revolver, knives,
forks and spoons, six pairs of n.w
socks, ten yards of new dress coods
some that I had bought in China my
little powder box w Ith the large p. uii
buttons In it, Eddle'H ring, nil sti'-n
pins, letters and cross guns of E's best
suit, my pocket book little money
check for $13 and several tilings. It
Just makes me wild when I think of It,
but I um thankful they took so iittl. .
Can't leave the house day or night.
"Tile Insurgents have made p.
trouble ns yet, but are still armed, nu I
every night before going to bed we i.iv
everything handy for a call duiing th

out this way, and for once am n llv nu

head to foot.
"The boys think they have the Uuuh
on me now, and say 1 nm the first oi
unteer to be disgraced, a I nm the m .
to be disarmed, Ik-cuum my n-volv'
was stolen.
"Last evenlns while I was waiting
for Ed to come back from supper, ore
of the uoya came hurryinir down an i
told me to go up to th barrai ks i
ont, that thev were expecting an att.u k
nt any minute. He wns very much
cited, and said he should think I woiil
bo afraid to stuy here in tlie hou
alone. I went up to the barracks an J
found it almost deserted, as nil th--companies
had been sent out to find
their exact positions so In case of u
call they would know Just where to
go. They didn't stay out Ion, howeer.
Everything was put in readiness foi an

also supplied and the guard doubled
