DREAMS.
HOW THE ALPS In snow splendor
Glisten In tlio morning blue!
Oli that I might Htlll go roaming,
When tho woods are btlKlit with dew.
Oh thut 1 with how nntl nrrmv
Might Might no hunting ns of yore,
Sing my mugs Hi perfect freedom,
Chnfu tho stag, tlio Wolf nnd boar,
Where tho leafy bough are drooping
Would I worn In yon preen dale!
And that by my side were walking
lrmlngnrd without her veil!

male voice, tho sentiment being

this feeling has never been more

Its entire beauty has recently been
on Easter Monday. Her versatility Is
much commented upon wherever she
Is heard. A recent performance nt
Haverhill, Mass., Is thus mentioned:
"Miss Chase's natural gift for acting,
her charm of person and manner, her
devotion in her art, her versatility and
Brace, place her easily In the front
rank of monoloi.is'ts nml promises for
her nn uniualllled success In her chos
en profession."
This afternoon, the promised cold
wave permitting, the Scranton team
will play u return game of hockey
with Wllkcs-narri on Scranton lake.
The game of last week nt Harvey's
lake resulted In one to nothing In favor
of Scranton. Our club anil the friends
who accompanied It had a delightful
time, being honored with u dinner,
followed by a dance ul the Oneonta.
The visitors will bo given a good time
heard In this city as sung by Mr.
Frank Eaton, of Morrlstown, .'. J.
The little songs, rolling like heads on
n silver thread, have an undercurrent
of pathos through even the entranc
ing dreams of what might have been
In thn life of the young monk, whose
vows forever lift an Impassable bar
rier between himself and humnn love.
The Interpretation of the mystical vis
ionary theme by Mr. Eaton. Is a reve
lation of art united with a maunlll
cent voice. The Song Cycle which as
yet ins only obtained a shy hold on
popularity is Infinitely fascinating. A
llttl f-ong may mean much, but con
nected with others In. -ibrlef story full of
poetry and refined feeling, the charm
Is wonderfully deepened. Everyone
remembers with delight the exquisite
Pong Cycle of the Persian (i.trden,
given last April In this clt. Old Om
ar's quatrains have llttli correlation
in the beginning or end. but through
nil runs the silver cord of tin beauty
loving, luxurious nature, content to
trust In the probabilities of a guiding
hand and to enjoy the "Today" since
"Tomorrow we may be with Yester
day's seven thousand years."
In "Uliland" the listener who is fond
of tho piose-pocin tales of James Lane
Allen could not but see n strong paral

tertalnmont being a dinner at the
Speedway club. The Scrnnton team
will consist of Messrs. J. H, llrooks,
James Ulalr. jr.. F. C. Fuller, F. S.
Fuller, Wolfe and C.rllun.
The Home for tho Friendless' Is to
have a cake-walk benefit, which will
be undoubtedly the most Interesting
event In tho way of an entertainment
which has been given In this city In
many a day. Tho young people of
Scrnnton have always been good to tin
Hume. They freely give their time and
their money, their influence and tal
ents to nld this charity and their last
step is exceptional in Its promise of
great returns.
This Is a rag-time age, and tho cake
walk Is the popular feature of nearly
even-thing In the way of amusement
for the public. About ten couples, made
up of social leaders, will participate in
this event, which will be held at the
Lyceum on the 23d. Tho list of "walk
ers" cannot bo given entire, but It If
expected that the entire force will at
tend the rehearsal Monday night. Mrs
Henrv H. Ura'dy, Jr.. and Mr. J. H.
llrooks have been active In securing
the participants, among whom will be.
Mrs. lieorge U- Hrouks, Miss Arehbatit,
Miss Alice Matthews'. Miss Eleanor
Reynolds, Mchms. Ulalr, llrooks. A. E.
Hunt, Jr.. H. (i. Men 111, Thomas Dale

the Tnipptsts of Kentucky and the
narration of which caused Mr. Allen
no end of notoriety from critics who
accused him of a breach of good faith
in securing his mnterial and also de
clared his pictures to be badly drawn.
That these two stories remain as class
ics of American literature has long
since been admitted. I
There will be an exodus of Scrnnton
people to the south and westward next j
week. On Monday Mr. and Mrs. P.. O. '
Hrooks and Mr. and Mrs. AVlllard j
Matthews leave for a two month's '
stay In California. They will take the
now most popular route by the way of
New Mexico. On Thursday Mr.
and Mrs. II. P. Simpson will start on
a southern tour, to remain away for
several weeks. Mr. T. H. Watklns
also expects to Join his family at Palm
lieach In the course of a few days. On
Thursday Mr. and Mrs. 11. C. Sander
son, Mr. and Mrs. I. 1 Megargel, Mr.
nnd Mrs. C. D. Jones, Mrs. M. Norton
nnd Miss Helen Jones will leave for
California; where they will remain
for the next six weeks or two months.
t
The chief event of the I'ost-Lunten
period will be under the auspices of
ladies of St. Luke's church, when Miss
Ethel Chase, a favorite in monologue,
will appear nt the Parish hall. Miss
Chare will be doubly 'ntcrcstlng to
residents of this region, as she was a
Wllkes-Harre girl previous to enter
ing upon the professional career for
which she has great talent. Miss
Chaise will give a varied programme
It Is to be hoped that the skirt dance
given by four young men last winter
in the minstrel show will be repeated
on this occasion.

j HER POINT OF VIEW j
SHE WAS A handsome lady not
past middle life, nnd s.ho wore her
modish costume us one who had
Inherited tho attitude und serene un
consciousness of taste troin several
generations of people who had been
accustomed to lino raiment und low
toned converse.
Just us she was stepping Into her
carriage she overheard a remark made
by an acquaintance passing which
caused her to chut tho door with un
usual force. "That Is old Mrs. Blank"
had snld the acquaintance.
Nownduys If LI Hung Chang's curi
osity Is emulated In polite society It is
with the question "How young are
you?" not "How old aro you'.'" and
Mrs, Blank was In no sense old. She
had n line, soft complexion, a charm
ing figure nnd a. young laugh. She
read the new books nnd tho literary
reviews, she was the leading member
of an up to date reading club. It had
never occurred to her that she was
old, but she had recently acquired u
daughter-in-law. She was n nice
daughter-in-law, gentle nnd lovable,
and had been a most welcome addition
to thn family, but a sudden thrill of
hatred rose up In tho elder woman's
heart ns she half whispered, while thn
most unpleasant snillo which had
crossed her lips for years, distorted
their curves: "And now I am old Mrs.
Blank!" It wasn't a mean Jealousy of
the fair girl who was probably now
considered by their friends as "Young
Sirs. Clank." It wasn't a foolish desire
to pose as younger than she was,
neither did she so much dread facing
th shortening years, but every In
stinct rose up ngalnst the term, which
she laid heard applied to herself.
"I've nl.vuys hated It," she mused.
"1 don't recall ever using It In my life
even when it might have been In con
nection with some very old person in
deed. I always think of the senior lady
of a family us Mrs. A., the others nre
Mrs. George, Mrs. James, Mrs. John
etc., but I never wanted to call her
"old Mrs. A," because there were
younger women of the same surname,"
The truth is, that this expression Is
nil too frequently used In this city. It
Is quite common to hear the elder lady
of a family name called "old Mrs. So-nnd-So."
and It isn't pleasant to sen
sitive ears. Wo do not want to be
"(Jld Mrs." nnybody. Wo do not so
much mind if wo nre no longer termed
"Young Mrs. Homebody," for perhap-i
the gently ndded years have brought
with their illght a recompense whleh
even the silvering head and thc dim
ming eyes cannot quite outweigh.
Perhaps the Impetuous, violent na
ture has been softened, the swift anger
blurred, tho hasty Judgment tempered.
Perhaps now we speak more kindly of
the absent, think more tenderly of the
foolish, weak ones In our way, have
time for more merciful deeds, have
more pity for the sadness of the groat
world.
Cur losses may be great. In tho cas
kct were fair illusions that are now
shuttered, the mirror In Its lid once
reflected a face tinted with tho rosj
and hair of glossy beauty. Sometimes,
as In n vision, we catch a faint glimpse
of that portrait, but ns we bend closer
we see instead the wrinkles on tho
brow mid the gray locks above. We
treasured hemtttdil frlfnflfi1-ilnq in Hint
casket, but there remains of their
grace only a little heap of ashes. We
had beliefs that were glorious in their
sincerity, but their pallid ghosts are all
that are left. We have still the with
ered roses from many n coffin, and the
false picture of many a hope, but yet
there may be some treasures In an
other casket which somehow console
us for our deprivations, nut we do not
want to be called old. Wo must still
wince when the minister speaks of the
feeble steps of nge, tottering on the
verge of the grave, for that Is what
age means the grave. To the healthy,
normal mind there is ever a shrinking
from death, no matter how bright may
be the hope of that which lies beyond.
Kmerson said: "We do not count a
man's years until he has. nothing else
to count," and no truer sentiment was
ever expressed.
That is why we continue to wave,
our hair and spend our patrimony on
facial massage.
So we do not want to bo called old.
It is more the tendency of the time
to speak thus of women than of men.
If u man has a grown up son It Is not
the signal for the father to bo termed
"Old .Mr. X." but if tho son takes a.
wife, the mother-in-law may bo ton
wimble sure that whether she know
It or not, some of her acquaintances
speak of her as "Old Mrs. X."
Tho ttately New England fashion,
In thc south some time ago. He de
clares that tho mental picture raited
up by that expression Is something
ukln to "Mother Goose" or "Old Moth
er Hubbard" and such appellations he
considers vulgarisms and not to bo
tolerated In good society. It was
Disraeli who snld, "Youth Is a blun
der: manhood a struggle; old age n
regret," und while to some extent this
Is true since with tilt Its compensa
tions wo do not long to hasten toward
old age, neither should wc thoughtless
ly hurry others forward to thnt period.

ft.
Thc choir of the First Welsh Congre
gational church, under the loadcrshlD
of William J. Davles, is nrooarlng n
rich feast for alt lovers of music on
the 14th nnd 15th of February nt
Meats' hall, West Side, when thb can
tata, "Saint Peter," will be rendered.
Tho author of this book is Dan
Protheroe. Mus. Bnc. (.Tor.), now of
Milwaukee. Wis., but formerly of this
city. This Is the first opportunity
given his numerous friends to boar
this production. Wo have heard songs,
glees, and a fine mass that were writ
ten by him many year ago, and the
pleasure wo experienced when listen
ing to these is an omen of tho delight
that nwults us the above evenings.
His old acquaintances wit! bo delighted
to flock to the hall to hear this per
formance. But apart from mere
friendship the merits of the composi
tion should secure a full bouse bulb
evenings. It is rot my intention to
uneak of this work as a critic were I
able to do so. but rather to glva a
very brief nnalysls of It. so ns to lulp
the nudltor to understand it. Thn
I book hn been rendered by largo choirs
in England. Wales nnd Canada, nnd
It has been well received by audiences
nnd critics on both sides of the ocean.
The libretto is founded on the twelfth
chapter In the book of Acts whero It
is said that Herod the king stretched
forth his hands to vex certain of the
church. It Is divided into three parts:
First part describing tho condition
of the persecuted Christians, and the
ovatl-m given tho king by the unbeliev
ing Jews.
Thc second rart is the prison scene,
where Peter is cast into it, nnd bound
with two, chains to the keeper, and
the nngel npoearlng to release him.
The third part Is the prayer meeting
cene where the Christians had as
sembled to pray for Peter, nnd Mary
with fear opening the door to welcome
him. The book opens with a chorus
of Christians praying for protection,
and while they offer their petitions an
ungel's voice la heard singing. "Blessed
are all they that mourn," and being
encouraged by the promise thev close
the chorus with great confidence, Then
coinia n tine duet song by James" pa
rents, though mourning tho loss of
their son who was killed by order of
the king, they say that "There Is an
other" loft if need be, for a martyr.
In tho third number the king Is
gieoted by a majestic chorus song by
the Jews. After this greeting the king
sings ii baritone solo, "Who Are This
Misguided Crew?" nnd offering his
service and authority to scatter thn
remaining Christians when the chorus
reolv that Peter was still free, ho
slns3 and orders the soldiers to Im
prison him, and the choir leads the
chorus by bailing and wishing hltn to
live for aye.
Then there Is an Instrumental oart
of fiftv-three measures of music.
Number six, one of Peter's children,
sings, "Why Father Tell Us," why
they did not observe the Passover as
usual then Peter sings In reply that
Christ and Him crucified was their
Pawsover and while ho sintrs a band
of soldiers enter his home and one of
them sings "In Herod's Name," nnd
he Is taken prisoner, and the whole
band of soldiers sing a male chorus, "If
once ho raised) the lame." After Peter
Is taken away, his wife sings " 'Tls by
Night," nnd a chorale Is sung by the
Christians, "Lord God of Our Salva
tion," and this ends tho first part.
The second part opens with a male
chorus sung by Roman soldiers,
"Grant to the Jews Their Own Stat
utes." Then Peter sings In prison,
"Tho Cross," and the warders follow
with a duet. "The Last Night," and
after satisfying .themselves that their
prisoner was safe they go to sleep.
In tho stillness of night three angels
appear and sing a trio, "Wo Who
Watched by Jesus," and another angel
who has come to release Peter sings
"O Peaceful Scene Enchanting,"
awakens him nnd leads him to tho
streets of tho city and when he fullv
realized what had happened he sine.
"Now I Know that God Almlchtv"
and the whole chorus representing
Jews, soldiers, warders and Inhabit
ants tilled with consternation close the
second net bv singing "Thc Fisher
man Hath Fled."
The thlid part opens with a chorua
A RESOURCE OF
STRENGTH AND ENERGY
which was Imlcd gener.il in colonial t representing the Christians assembled
times of calling tho senior lady of thn j In a prayer meeting, singing. "O Re
famllv "Madame," was cno that should : dcemer. Lord of Zlon." When this
vet prevail. The dignity, respect and ' ihnrus Is through a knock is heard at
indescribable charm it conveys can b-J , "e door and Mary's son slnga "Some

Harry Thurston Peck, in his volume
of essays recently published under tho

PAINE S CELERY COMPOUND
Harry D. Elks, Glens Falls, N. Y., writes:
"Early last spring I found that I was tired and languid,
my appetite was failing, and I was becoming run down gen
erally. I was advised to take Paine's Celery Compound, and
after using it I never felt so well in all my life as I do now.
It braced me up, gave me strength and vigor and made a new
man of me. I recommend it to all persons who have tired
and languid feelings, to all athletes, and to all who work hard
mentally."
Paine's Celery Compound restores, strength
ens and sustains vital energy and muscular
force.
