THE HA81.EEN.
What though it was but yesterday
That you were In your prime,
The clock has struck that ends the play
How Ions or short a time.
It matters not when you are done
A score of years are but as one.
What though we prided In your skill,
Exalted in your strength,
And gloried In your master will
All three have run their length.
The cheer for you dies on the lip,
What time we mark the slackened grip.
What though you do not sense the
change
That strikes you from the IlBt,
Nor feel the atmosphere grow strange,
Nor note the gath'rlng mist.
Your Becret gets to every ear
The secrets you're the last to hear.
What though you say you are not past,
And bravely try again
To prove your lam was not your last.
But still are here what then?
Tour ears don't hear your sentence
read:
"Poor fool! He doesn't know he's dead! '
What though y iu live a hundred years
Kre nature claims its own,
And godlike form that won our cheers
Is wasted skin and bone?
You'll hear the cheer that died away
That everlasting yesterday!
Oh. mocking memory of youth,
How Is It that you hold
From lilm who's gone the honest truth,
Nor wait until he's told
Until, still In his full-blown pride.
He heartlessly is thrust aside?
THE WINSOME SCHOOL MA'AM.
In this gay institute week in Rey
noldsville the following little gem,
which originally appeared in the
Brookvllle Republican, years ago, Is
especially appropriate:
The school ma'am is with ua once
again, as fresh, as winsome and as
sweet as ever, and as we gaze on her
In ber youth and loveliness, fulj.oi
"health and joyousness, we may fail
to take note of the fact that the
school ma'am, God bless her, holds
the destiny of the nation in her bands.
Hers is no little calling, and the pim
pled youths wno stand around our
street corners with their cigarettes
between their teeth, and the lmpertl
nent salutation, "where do you teach,"
upon their glib and irreverent
tongues, might be better employed
In bending the courteous knee to the
maker of history. For this little
school ma'am, this week so full of
joy and bounding life, with the bur
den of responsibility for a moment off
ber shoulders, and she, herself, again
a pupil, is the same little school
ma'am who turns out on the frosty
mornings, when the lazy citizen
would fain pull his head beneath the
covers for a traditional forty winks,
and trudges bravely through the
snow and sleet to the little country
school house on the lane. Here she
tends the fire and 'puts the house in
order, and here she builds in the
hearts of her pupils, the structure
that shall make or mar the perfect
contour of the history of the Repub
lic. Here in a heart as barren as the
wastes of the desert of Sahara, she
plants the love of God; here she
wakes the bud of promise and gently
leading turns the artist free to roam
along the lines to which his Creator
pointed; here she breaks the rebel
ious tyrrany of youth and plants the
seeds of law and order; here she
touches with a kindly hand a physi
cal hurt, and pours the oil of con
solation on a broken heart; here she
binds up a wound, kisses away a
tear, laughs down a sob and with a
song leads the little hearts out of the
way of bondage into the way of light;
and when even comes, worn and
weary with her constant trial she
watches on their homeward way her
little brood, smoothing with a last
caress the small entanglements of the
day. Out of her toil will spring a
harvest, so surely as the seed breaks
into life, the bud to bloom. In the
home, in the church, in the great
forum of the state, In every walk and
phase of life, the Influence of her la
bors will be felt. . Conceived in the
proper spirit and carried forward in
the true manner of the teacher, hers
is the greatest work save one in all
the world. And so closely allied is
It with that greater work, that the
line of demarkatlon is lost where the
two converged God bless the school
ma'am. May we never lack apprecia
tion of her sacrifices, and her services.
FIRE AT RATHMEIi.
'. Thursday of ast week the home of
J. Lucas, near Rathmel, was com-

I The announcement that a large
j sum of money will be spent on lm-
provements to the steel plant, com
ing so soon after the commencement
of work on a large addition to the
Sykes woolen mill, Is extremely grati
fying to Reynoldsvllle people and
gives solid ground for rejoicing in
this glad Christmas , season. It
means far more than the mere in
crease of employment for local la
borers. Back of the decision to ex
pand in each Instance waa a knowl
edge of local conditions gained by ac
tual operation. Had these not been
satisfactory, neither company would
have appropriated a cent for en
largement. The fact that these con
ditions are productive of profit to lo
cal manufacturers must eventually
work for the upbuilding of the town
by the weight they will have with
those who are seeking opportunity
for the development of resources.
There Is hardly a town in the union
that does not claim superior advant
ages as a location for factories. . The
mere claim no longer has weight. It
requires something more tangible
than hot air to land a factory in
tliee days 'of wisdom gained by ex
perience. Promotion schemes that
went through with a rush a dozen
years ago, are viewed with amused
contempt now, Bona fide industrial
propositions are few and far between
and the town that prospers by gain
ing them must show unquestionable
merit.
Manufacturing plants that pay
grow planta that grow pay, . and
Reynoldsvllle can point to many that
are doing both? No amount of 'ar
gument could weigh heavier with
business men ,than this, which is a
concrete summing up of all advant
ages and possibilities into a visible,
soul-satlsfylng fact.

Pittsburg Dispatch Offers 74
Free Trips.
A rare opportunity to take a Euro-
! pean or other magnificent trip free.
The Pittsburg Dispatch announces a
' vacation contest that outclasses any
thing of the kind ever offered. It
proposes to send seventy-four people
on trips that should appeal .to many
of our people. The plan is very
simple. The persons are selected by
a voting contest. You don't have to
solicit subscriptions or collect any
money. It does not cost the candi
date or his friends anything, and the
territory is divided so that a certain
number of trips must go in different
districts. The contest will not offi
cially begin for a few days, and any
one entering now will tiave a good
opportunity to win. The tripB in
clude Europe, the West Indies, lake
and ocean voyages. One nice feature
about the contest Is that you don't
have to go at any particular date,
but within a reasonable time after the
contest Is over. Also that the person
receiving the largest vote gets two
European trips, enabling him to take
a member of the family or a friend
along.
The Dispatch contest is worth one's
while considering. Nomination blanks
good for 1,000 votes for a start are
printed in The Dispatch dally. Now
is. the time to consider the matter
seriously. Some one in this section
stands a good show of winning if they
enter now. Be sure to read the bin
offer in The Dispatch,
