Chambers and Uzzell have torn
down the old store room, near the}
meat market lastly occupied by Kelly
& Company, and contemplate erecting
a two-story brick building on the site.
Another sure sign of spring is
Frank Shope with a bundle of wall
paper under his arns and a pair of
white pants on.
We already hear the sound of the
hammer and saw and hope there will
be a great din of this kind all ‘sum-
mer. :
R. BE. Kech our efficient architect,
has recently engaged in the furniture
business. He has succeeded in mak-
ing several fine mission chairs which
he will put on display, in the near fu-
ture. Any person wishing to view the
display, are invited to call at his shop
on the third floor, as he is yet unable
to remove them owing to the fact that
after they were built, he found them
much too large to be taken out either
the door or windows. We suggest
that he put a new roof on the house
and then he may be able to remove
them.
A BOY WANTED.
- 'Wanted—a boy that is manly,
A boy that is kind and polite,
A boy you can always depend on
To do what he knows to be right.
A boy that is truthful and honest,
And faithful and willing to work,
But we have not a place that we care
to disgrace,
With a boy that is ready to shirk.
Wanted—a boy you can tie to,
© A boy that’'is trusty and true,
A boy that is good to old people,
And kind to the little ones, too.
A boy that is nice to the home foiks,
And pleasant to sister and brother,
A boy who will try when things go
awry
"To be helpful to father and mother.
There are the boys wino are wanted
In the workshop, the home, and the
store;
The world needs such boys in busi-
ness, te
For them there are places galore.”
These are the boys we depend on—
Our hope for fie future, and then,
Grave problems of state and the
world’s work await
Such boys when they grow to De
men. ;
—Lizzie Clark Hardy, in Presbyterian.

THE DYING MOTHTR.
It was evening, ’ere the sun was set
Or the moon had appeared in yonder
SKY,
Her spirit left this house of clay,
Ang soar’d away to yon world on hig®.
The weak, unsteady, fluttering pulSt,
The slow labored stertorous breath,
The cold perspiration on the brow
Foretold the approach of death. ——
Hush, hush, what is that sound I hear?
Is it angry Jordan’s roll?
Is it the sound of angel's wings
That bears away her soul?
Her pain-racked body’s now at rest,
Her soul from sorrow free.
And in the realms of the blest
She calmly waits for me. ;
Sister, she was your earthly joy,
The darling of your heart.
I can see the expression on your face,
As the tears unbidden start.
When last you kissed her faded cheek
You thought, why could she not re-
main,
But God had marked her for his own,
And called her home again.
With her cold lifeless hand iniyours,
You did your silent vigil keep.
And with a smile upon her face
Our darling mother fell asleep. —
Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep:
Sister. to us the consolation’s given,
That when she fell asleep on earth
Her spirit did awake in heaven.
—Medicus.
The people of Avis, formerly Oak
Grove, are greatly pleased and excit-|
ed over the fact that the New York
Central is to double up the railroad |
shops at that place. Avis is destined
yet to be the Altoona

boom will give it a big boost toward
making it a big town, if not a city.—

stand Call of the Brook.
Altoona, Pa.—The warm weather,
the mercury reaching 80 in the shade,
and the holiday combined, proved
too much for the fishermen of Altoona
today, and unable to wait for the trout
season to open, every man who owned
a rod and could spare the time,
struck for the rivers to get his hand
in by angling for suckers and carp.
More than 250 fishermen left on
morning trains, and most of them re-
turned tonight with good strings, the
water being just right for the sport.

er service on Sunday afternoon, con-
sisting of songs, recitations and exer

be done and even the town threatened
with destruction, if they are not
checked soon. :

and killed.
