VOLUME 14. AIMS AND PRINCIPLES OF THE SONS OF VETERANS An Organization Which Deserves the Support of All Patriotic Citizens. The Sons op Veterans U. S. A. Is one of the rising and most progressive Fraternal and Patriotic Organizations In the Nation. Tbe- first body of the Order was organized by David Knapp assisted by members of Post 04 G. A. R. jf.Pblladelphla, in April 1879, and was known as Anna M. Ross Cadet Corps Sons of Veterans. The present Organi zation was organized by Major A. P. Davis, a veteran of Pittsburg, in the fall of 1881, and is now organized in every State and Terrltority of the Union. ' It Is composed of blood de scendants of tbe men wbo served in the Army and Navy of the United States from 1861 to 18(5. All descendants either from tbe male or female line not less than 18 years of age whose ances tor served honorably in tbe service of tbe United States during the great Civil War are eligible for membership. Its principles are Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty. Its objects are to keep green the memory of the heroic dead.' To perpetuate their services and sac rifices. To inculcate Patriotism, Love of Country and of Flag into tbe hearts of the youth of the Nation and the stranger who comes to dwell among us. To discountenance Treason or Anarohy, and to teach a respect for and obedience to the laws of our Country. To assist tbe Veterans in caring for their needy Comrades and to look after their material Interests and welfare. To stand by one another in life as our fathers stood by one another in the hour of battle, on the march, in tbe hospital, and the prison-pen . To create that same love of ancestors as is diplayed by tbe Sons and Daught ers of tbe Confederacy for their Sires. To obliterate sectional prejudices and spread the doctrine of the Brotherhood of man. To cultivate the charity of Alms giving and tbe still greater and broader meaning of that splendid term. The overlooking of euch others faults and weaknesses, and the giving of that moral support to one another, that is tbe grandest of all tbe virtues known to mankind. . The Order Is divided Into local Camps, State Bodies or Divisions, and a Nation al Body or Commaadery-in-Chlef. The one password is a sesame which opens the doors of all Sons of Veterans (neeting either of Camp, Division or Commandery-in-Cbief. The Order has bat one class of membership. All Veterans of the Rebellion are entitled to admission to any Sons of Veterans Meeting. Tbe Order has connected with it a Military Rank known as the Sons of Veterans Reserves, and is now organ ized all over the United States. Its object is to maintain a magnificent Army of fighting Reserves without cost to the tax-payers, ever ready to offer its services in defense of the Nation, and the honor of tbe flag. It is com manded by a Chlef-of-Staff with tbe rank of Major General. In Pennsyl vania alone there are eight Regiments of Infantry, seven Batteries of Artillery, eight Hospital Corps, and four Troops of Cavalry. It is not compulsory to join this nor is it necessary for any member to wear a uniform or parade. While the Order is strictly Patriotic and Fraternal, many of tbe Camps have added a beneficial feature, paying sick end death benefits, and there is in con nection with the Order a Fraternal Insurance or Death Benefit Association, Price $3 50 and $4 .00. While they last, some Women's Rubbers at 35c tbe pair. ADAM'7,, SHOE STORE ..-'Foot-Fitter iEYNOLDSVILLE. PENN'A. I paying $250.00 on the death of a mem ber. It is not necessary however to be a member of these beneficial features. Curing the la9t few years especially in Pennsylvania the Order has made Immense strides and is destined to be come like the G. A. R. one of the most powerful and influential Organizations in the world. With its magnificent principles, and worthy objects it is en titled to the support, not only of those who are eligible, but of all Patriotic men and women. Many of the most in fluential men of the Nation are now members including U. S. Senators, Congressmen, Governors of States, Mayors of Cities, and an army of busi ness and professional men. Tbe password of this Order is merely Intended for the.purpose of preventing imposition on Its members, and as it questions no man's religious or political convictions, it is not objectionable to any religion or political party. The introduction or discussion of religion or politics Is strictly forbidden. Its present Commandor-in-Chief Is H. V. Speelman, a United States Treasury Official of Cincinnati. Ohio, and its State Commander is John Bower, Jr., of Philadelphia. The National Secretary is H. H. Hammer, Asst. Postmaster of Reading, Pa. The National Treasurer is J. Lewis Rake, Reading, Pa. Division Secretary is James H. Taw ney, of Philadelphia. Division Treas urer Is Wm. B. McNulty, Philadelphia. Division Headquarters is N. E. Corner Broad and Arch Sts., Philadelphia. The next State Convention of the Order will be held next June in York, Pa. It is expected that President Roosevelt will attend. This town sheds lustre upon her fair name by supporting a Camp of this Organization, and every eligible in this section should connect himself at once with this Patriotic movement. , The Midnight Flyer. The originality of the dramatist in adopting actual occurences, and by his art of enlarging on them and construct ing a possible lot of situations with possible dialogue, and the interweaving of it into a play of human heart interest, is what has never been so cleverly done in recent years as by tbe author of "Tbe Midnight Flyer." A play that has been seen and favorably received in everv oountry of the globe. This suc cess cannot be laid to chance, but solely to tbe strength of the play, which en compasses every passion of the heart, places them in the most ' intonscly interesting situations, and plays wl.h a master hand on the sympathies of the audience. Ed. Anderson, tbe well known manager, has secured a brilliant company to produce "The Midnight Flyer" and it will be seen at tbe Reyn olds opera house on Friday evening, Feb. 2.

Many of These Much Traveled Little Fellows Are Surprisingly Tame. It Is surprising that there tire birds which come to us only to spend tho winter, leaving us nguiu at the begin ning of spring for northern binds uml snow banked hillsides, where the long day and pale twilight nights of the arctic rclgu. Birds that raise their broods in tho far, treeless uorthlnud, whore heather, grasses and stunted alders grow on a shallow, soaking soil underlaid by a great depth of eternal Ice, at the approueh or winter gather Into great roving flocks to surge south ward to the gentler climate of our bliz zardy "temperate" winters! Many of these much traveled littlo fellows are wonderfully tame and seem not to experience fear of man so uni versal with animals that rear their young In his neighborhood. Pine gros beaks nnd crossbills, whose real homes are in the silent, moss filled spruce for ests of Ibe great north, will almost al low themselves to be caught In your bnnd. With the field roving birds, like the snow buntings, horned larks and longspurs, tills fearlessness Is not found, probably from the constant look out they are forced to keep against the running nnd hungry white foxes nnd the daring, trap jawed littlo ermine that persistently hunt them In their northland home. Hut the rosy littlo red polls, the creepers, kinglets, "little friend chickadee," ns the northern In dians call him, nnd all the oilier deep forest dwellers are ns unafraid of us as they are of the gentle porcupines nnd deer of their home woods. St. Nicholas. A REMARKABLE ESCAPE. Odd Incident of the Heimi of Terror' In Paris. During the reign of. terror in Tarls one of the most remarkable escapes was that of M. de Ohiitcnubruii. He was sent to execution with twenty oth er prisoners, but, after the fifteenth head had fallen, the guillotine got out of order and n workman was sent for to repair it. The six remaining victims were left standing In front of the ma chines with their hands tied behind them. A French crowd is very curious, and the people kept pressing forward to see the man-arranging the guillotine. By degrees M. de C'hateaubrun, who was to the rear of his companions, found himself in the front line of tho spectators, then in the second, nnd finally well behind those who had come to see his head cut off. Before the men could get the guillotine in working or der uight began to fall, and M. de Chateuuhrun slipped away. When In the Champs Ely .sees he told a man that a wng had tied his hands nnd robbed him of his hat, and this simple individual set him free. A few days Inter M. de Chatenubrun escaped from France. "Honest Abe." It is n Higuil.cuut fact that in a com munity where crime was virtually un known, where plain, straightforward dealing was assumed ns u matter of course, and credit was fearlessly asWed and given, Lincoln won an enviable reputation for Integrity and honor. In jl moral atmosphere of this sort ordi nary veracity and fairness attracted no particular attention. Honesty was not merely tho best policy; it was tho rule of life, And people were expected to be upright nnd just with one an other, but when a clerk In a country store walked miles to deliver a few ounces of tea Innocently withheld from a customer by an error in the scales, and when he mnde a long, bard trip in order to return a few cenfs accidental ly overpaid him, he was talked about, and- the fact is that "Honest Abe" was a tribute, not a nickname. Frederick Trevor Hill in Century. . Vldooq's Memory. Vidocq, the great French detective, had so excellent a memory for names and faces that after having sren a criminal once and learned his name ho never forgot him, but would often iden tify him under the most subtle dis guises. A Frencu forger once escaped from custody, went abroad and remain ed for eleven years. In the meantime he became quite bald and lost un eye and part of his nose in a drunken brawl. Fancying that no one could detect him, he returned to Taris and went boldly about the streets; but, be ing arrested on suspicion, he was brought before Vidocq, who at once recognized him and sent him back to work out his term. Wesley's Mother. The mother of John and Charles Wes ley, the founders of Methodism, was one of tbe most remarkable characters of her own or any other age. From tender years the principles of religion and practical piety were instilled by ber in the minds of her children. She dally took them into a private room and prayed with each, and so Imbued their minds with the spirit of religion that the Methodist movement was real ly born in ber home. Real Pleasure. Jack I suppose there is nothing that pleases a woman more than the devot ed attention of the man of her choice? Bess Except, perhaps, the devoted at tention of the man of some other girl's rholrr FYrhTi THE CITY MAN. Bis Lot In LICr Compared With That of the Farmer. According to tho National Magazine, "men In the cities work twice as hard as the farmers, and they get few or no holidays. Thousands and thousands of professional men, clerks nnd men in small business enterprises delve and toll their entire lives away and at the end are carted out to the cemeteries without huving had 4iny more leisure or enjoyment in their lives than a horse on n treadmill. The rut they toll along In is us narrow as a case knife." This is not the fnrmer's view of the city man, whom he sees only during vaca tion, when the city man Is taking a brief and ninch needed rest. The farm er sees him sporting his "glad rags" and mistakenly Imagines him to be all the year round only an Idlo butterfly, consuming tho produce of the horny handed son of toil. The truth, it is held, is that the city man, ns a rule, is the harder worker ami gets much less enjoyment out of life, lie longs for the rural scenes and occupations of the fanner; his dearest hope is to get back' to the country to spend his last years. A few of tho city folks make a big lot of money and get their follies and amusements In the newspapers, but the great majority of city toilers live a very monotonous nnd stupid ns well as n very laborious and poverty stricken life. The farmer, It is concluded, has "the real thing," while the city man has only barren aspirations and disap pointments. The contented fanner is not only the wisest but the happiest of mankind.

"That Isn't n good picture," said a photographer, with an air of npology. "The man was deaf." "How can that Infirmity affect the picture?" asked n visitor. "It gives his face a. tense, strained look," said the photographer. "All deaf persons have that expression when placed before a cumeru. They sit with their, heads tilted forward and eye brows uplifted, as If waiting for tlio conunuud lo look pleasant. Generally, I suppose, that Is what they are wait ing for. But even lifter I have given the order to brace their muscles refuse to relax. "'What's that?' says the deaf mau when bo sees my Hps move. " 'Look pleasant!' I shout again. "'Oil!' says he. "He takes bis hand from behind his ear and tries to assume a beaming countenance, but he only compromises on a fixed glare. None of the de vices known to the photographic trndo can dispel that. In fact, the more 'business' I Introduce to charm my sub ject into a Joyful state the more rigid Ills facial muscles become, lie Is listen ing always for further instructions.

An old English sport that still sur vives from the days when the bow and arrow wore lu use Is that of arrow throwing, and in parts of Yorkshire It is Btill made one of tbe features of ath letic meotu. Tho arrows are straight ghufts three feet long, without either barli or feather, and are thrown by the aid of a bit of Btrlng wrapped about tbo.dirower's band and about the butt of the arrow, A skillful man can send tho arrow loO yards, though It requires some experience to cnuso the arrow to lLnvo tho (string without tangling. Once tho knack is ac-piirod the s;iort is said to be more fascinating than putting tho shot or throwing the hammer. Rlflht In Ills Line.
