HIGH SCHOOL
Into two school rooms which are
separated by a removable partition,
making a room adequate for holding
the public exercises of the school
and such educational meetings as
may be need for.
The walls in all the rooms are
tinted so as to reflect an even light
nnd still be restful to the eye. The
windows give light into the rooms
from three sides with a blind wall
for the students to face. Another
feature of the building Ib the base
ment. This was built without any
taxation of the district. Wide awake
citizens saw an opportunity for the

"Will you come to the "corn roast"
on Thursday night?"
"We will, If It does not rain,"
"And will you help us, just read or
recite,
Or something original maybe you'd

Thus helping to entertain."
So spoke our minister's good wife,
Last Sunday afternoon
Well, I racked my brains a theme to
find,
But never a subject would my mind
Grant to me as a boon.
When lo! as I gazed across the lakes
I saw on the opposite shore
That the trees were donning their
autumn tints
Such hues as only nature prints.
When the summer days are o'er.
"There! colors shall be my theme,"
I said,
"Why this is a supper of blue to
red;"
So, I started in with vision cleared,
And soon the following rhymes
appeared.
I wonder what is the favorite hue,
Of each and every one In view.
I'm sure that each one loves the
sight
Of some, one color, dark or light.
As you pass along the busy street
Perhaps an Irishman you'll meet;
If you say to him, with serious mien,
"What's the finest color you've
ever seen?"
He'll say without a moments pause
"There's only one color for Erin's
cause,"
(As he draws from his lips an old
dudeon)
"Sure, the loveliest color for me is
green."
The Spaniard dapper little fellow,
Will tell you this, "My color is
yellow."
The Englishman will hold to red,
Hue of the blood already shed,
To hold his Island against all foes,
Red, color of the English rose.
The German loves another hue,
His praise is all for "corn flower
blue."
And every nationality,
No matter where on land or sea,
Each has a color for a guide
To which they point with fondest
pride.
Even the Indian, lithe and strong,
Who moves with stealthy tread along
Will ornament his copper hue
With colors, yellow, red and blue."
Now, listen for the war-whoop
shrill,
For war paint means he's out to
kill.
The Quakers with face demure,
Hid in a bonnot, so secure,
Before your gaze will drop her eyes
As softly, sweetly she replies,
When questioned In the self-same
way,
My favorite hue, of course, Is Grey.
Ask every patriot girl or boy,
Playing with doll or gamo or toy,
"What color each one loves the
best,"
They'll one and all reply with zest,
We, to our country's flag are true,
Three hues we love, red, white and
blue,
When, here at Maplewood, Pa.,
We to the station wend our way,
Perhaps to take a train to town
We find another color Brown.
And even here within this room,
A color, sombre as the tomb,
(But sombre only In the namo),
It is prominent. The .worthy, Santa
Who at the "Ladles' Aid" presides,
With pride that color bears besides
The numerqus ladles of that name
Whose deeds are worth a
"Hall of Fame,"
For raising money, day by day,
For the new parsonage to pay.
Nor shall we leave the men folks
out,
For the same colors theirs, no
doubt,
There's Emery, Philander, James,
Ell, Ellas, Aaron, George, their
names
There's Alby, and his brother
Friend,
And of little folks, there seoms no
end.
So this hue may we never lack,
Let us give three cheers for Black,
Black, Black.
Lend us your voices Sharpe and
Keene
Of colors, Black is Just now queen.
Then, when our days on earth are
o'er,
And summoned to that faithful
shore
We rise above the azure sky
To Join the angel minstrelsy,
Behold the colors of the gems,
That guild the New Jerusalem.
See the Jasper, the Beryl, the Emer
ald green,
The red of Sardonyx and Sard,
The blue of the Sapphire and Ame
thyst, With the yellow of Topaz barred.
The purple Jacinth and Chrysoprase
The green of chrysolite,
And crowning and surmounting
all,
Chalcedony, purest white.
There'll be golden streets on which
to walk,
And golden harps to bear,
And white is the color of the robes,
We, all of us, hope to wear.
So, when we meet at the pearly
gates,
And the Master says: "Well done,"
May each and all, what e'er their
hue,
Or white, or black, or copper too,
Be able to answer "Here am I"
And don the white robes of purity,
And ,
"God bless us every one."
Everyone reports a good time and
the Aid Society is to be commended
for their work in raising funds for
the new parsonage. While it used
to be "money makes the mare go" it
is now "the Ladies' Aid makes the
parsonage go." Three cheers and a
tiger for the ladles!
STEENE.
The Rev. Mr. Davis, of Waymart,
preached a very interesting sermon
Sunday afternoon to a large number
of people here. He took for his text
John 3, 19 "And this Is the con
demnation that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness
rather than light, because their deeds
were evil."
The Rhines Brothers, two great
Canadian singers, are coming to
Waymart on October 11th to begin

ers but great expounders of the gos
pel. John Vanbusklrk has sold his
farm at Keens, also stock and farm
ing Impllments to Amos Smith, of

decided where they will locate but
think probably at their old home, In
Wilkes-Barre. Maya good luck go
with them Is the wish of their
neighbors here.
Patrick Minor has resigned his
position as track laborer for a time
and is helping the borough of
Prompton to mend their ways.
The death of Mr. Wonnacott has
cast a gloom over this neighborshood
as he had lived here long and was
loved and respected by all who be
came acquainted with him, being
not only honest with his fellowmen
but with his God. May we all live
and die as our brother did with this
peace of mind stamped upon our
hearts.

Misses Jennie, Pearl and Mildred
Crane, Miss Evelyn Pennell and Mrs.

called on Mrs. R. W. Murphy at tho
Woodside bungalow, and found the
amiable hostess entertaining a party
of her friends from Hawley, Mrs.
Cook and two children, Mrs. Killam
and Mrs. Decker. While the host
was entertaining his friends by tak
ing a walk down the stream below
the Woodside Lake, Messrs. Dr.
Cook, Killam and Decker, of Haw
ley, were with him. As we ap
proached Woodside Lake on the op
posite side of the cottage and before
we came in sight of the lake, we
heard some of the sweetest music
we ever listened to. We thought
there were about twenty or thirty
people singing a beautiful hymn.
We halted a few moments to listen
and were so charmed we decided to
walk on and see those beautiful sing
ers, but as we came In sight of the
lake we did not see -any one in the
boat, so we halted again and found
we had been mistaken as the music
was being played by a phonograph
on the porch of the bungalow. This
is a large phonograph with one of
the large horns placed by Mrs. M.
In such a way that the sound came
direct to us across the water. We
have heard many phonographs, and
good ones, too, but never enjoyed
one so much. The last thing we
heard on leaving Woodside Lake
was another beautiful selection by
tno phonograph.
