FREEHAND, PA.. NOVEMBERS. 1897. !
The Republican organs are deluging
their readers with windy editorials on
the dangerous position of the party in
state affairs. .More than a few of them
are sufficiently honest to point out the ,
fact that their candidate for state treas
urer failed to receive a majority of the i
votes cast last Tuesday. Beacora is the j
iirst Republican elected in Pennsylvania 1
in many years who*did not have a larger
vote than the combined opposition. ■
hence the sounding of the alarm. Next
year's contest for governor is already
dreaded by the dominant party and the
loaders are trying to strengthen the
lines. If the opponents of Republican
misrule will unite in 181)8, their candi
dates will have a walk-over, Pennsyl
vanians move slowly in political matters,
but they are commencing to realize
their duty, as the late election proves,
and the day of reckoning for the bosses
is not far distant.
The return of the counties of Luzerne
and Lackawanna to the Democratic
camp was one of the pleasing incidents
of last Tuesday's election. Centre and
Clinton counties also almost squeezed
themselves through the fence Into the
inclosure when; they belong.—Philadel
phia Record,
Don't forget to give our southern
neighbors due credit for their good
work. Carbon and Schuylkill counties
also came hack to the fold with a rush.
The miners have had their eyes opened.
The scenes enacted in the common
council chamber of Philadelphia, as de
picted the past week by the Inquirer.
should make every borough in the state
feel proud it is not governed in the same
manner as Pennsylvania's metropolis.
The law-makers in these so-called back
woods may at times do business in a i
style which deserves ridicule, but they ,
never stoop to the language and methods
that were used in the interest of the gas
lease ordinance.
Joyce's Black Diamond, of Mahanoy
City, was the only newspaper we know
of which had an unkind word for the
late Henry George. To libel the living
should be privilege enough for any edi
tor; to villify the dead is a crime which
would be committed by no one but he
whose heart is literally the color of the
Mahanoy sheet s title.
Not the least gratifying result of
Tuesday's election is the knowledge that
County Detective Eckert will soon lose his
title and his sinecure. If ever au incap
able man filled an office in Luzerne, ho is
the man. The county has work, and
lots of it, for a detective, but no more of
the Eckert brand should be paid sLooon
The I* roil act lon of Smoke.
It is said that where no hydrocarbons
exist smoke cannot be produced by any
fuel. Recent experiments made in the
laboratories of Sibley college showed
from ten to twelve pounds of soot in the
smoke generated by the consumption of
a ton of coal. Of this soot, about one
half was carbon, the remainder princi
pally unconsumed hydrocarbons, ten to
fifteen yer cent, ash, mid. outside the
furnace, perhaps two percent, of moist
ure. No smoke was produced in uu at
mosphere of oxygciv Low temperature
combustion and restricted oxygen sup
ply appear to fav< r smoke production.
The composition of soot was nearly the
same as that of the coal from which it
tvas produced.
I)iiy> Variance In Weight.
Have you ever tried this experiment
of weighing yourself in the morning
and again in the evening? It is one
of the best ways, so doctors say, of
finding whether your fiealtb is good or
not. Jf you are thoroughly well there
should be a difference of more than tw o
or three ounces either way in the 12
hours. If you lose or g~i#i as much as
eight ounces, you should immediately
consult a doctor, while the gain or loss
of a pound indicates you are on the
verge of serious illness. This, of
course, does not apply to one just re
covering for illness, for convalescents
who have been much reduced may
sometimes gain 15 to 20 ounces a day.

JIM CROKER.
Jim Croker lived far In the woods,
A solitary place.
Where bushes grew like whiskers
On his unrazored face;
And the black bear was his brother,
And the catamount his chum,
And Jim, he lived and waited
For the millions yet to come.
Jim Croker made a clearing
And he sowed it down with wlteat;
He filled his lawn with cabbage,
And he planted It with beet;
It blossomed with the potato,
With the peach and pear and plum,
And Jim. he lived and waited
For the millions yet to come.
Then Jim took his ancient ax
And cleared a forest street,
While he lived on bear and succotash
And young opossum meat.
And his rhythmic ax-stroke sounded.
And the woods no more were dumb,
While he cleared a crooked highway
For the millions yet to come.
They came as aimless strangers,
They came from far and near.
And a little log house settlement
Grew around the pioneer:
And the sound of saw and brondax
Made a glad industrial hum.
Says Jim: "The coming millions.
They Just begun to come."
Then a little crooked railway
Wound around mountain, hill and lake.
Crawling toward the forest village
Like an undulating snake,
Till one morn the locomotive
Puffed into the wilderness.
Says Jim: "The coming millions,
They're coming by express "
And the city grew and prospered
With each succeeding year.
It had a city council,
And old Jim was chosen mayor.
Bur Jim declined the honor
And moved his household goods
Far away into the forest,
To the old primeval woods.
Far, far Into the forest
Moved the grizzled pioneer,
And he reared his hut and murmured:
"I'll build a city here."
And he hears the woodtox barking,
And he hoars the partridge drum.
And the old man sits and listens
"For the millions yet to come."

- iijiiiiirg i Hal lit ii a'
WIIEN Mr. Williams was hurrying
past Mr. Welles* house he found
Henry. Mr. Welles' hired man, eliminat
ing plantains from the front lawn. Mr.
Williams called them plantains, al
though possibly that is uot their bo
tanical name. Whether correctly or in
correctly denominated, they are a hardy
sort of weed, with large, flat-lying
leaves and tall masts on which the seeds
for next year's crop grow in such away :
as to make the stalks look like rat-tail
files. As one weed of the present year
offers in evidence a spawn which prom
ises a thousand-fold multiplication for
the ensuing summer they are a thing to
be dreaded by all suburbanites who love
the patch of green which fronts their
houses. Mr. Williams had been worried
about the plantains for several days,
ind seeing llenry engaged in the worthy
pursuit of deciminating them he en
gaged him in conversation on the gen
eral subject of carctaking, weeding,
lawn trimming and the Like.
Henry said: "Why, you don't take
my boy, Mis'r Williams, an' hal' him
i take care dem place all time? lie's 17
year old an' work good. Chop wood an'
turn ice cream freezer. Make garden
an' 'ten fires. Do everything. 1 let him
go to you for SSO year, you board him."
TTiey had some further conversation
concerning Joe and the good thing it
would be for Mr. Williams to engage
him as man of all work, and the suburb
anite went down to his house half an
hour afterward with a brilliant new
idea to unfold to his wife.
"I'll tell you," he said, "this business
of me ruining clothes and losing time in
digging up the weeds and rinsing oil' 1
the lawn is a great mistake when you j
come to think of it. With that big bev
of Henry's at SSO a year you and 1 con' I j
have ten times as much leisure to spend
together as we have now. Pshaw! I
get up in the morning, and while wail
ing for breakfast go out and mend the \
sidewalk. And when I con>e home from
the city at night 1 have to gallop to the
lawn hose so as to get the place well
sprinkled before the policeman come
around to say it's time to quit using the
water for that purpose. We haven't hail
a ride on the wheels for ever so long,
have we?"
"N'o," Mrs. Williams answered, "and
I think it's a shame —this nice weather.
Vou're always sputtering in the garden
or propping up the trees or Hushing
the drain or trimming the vines. Fifty
dollars a year would be just nothing
and you see you would be exempt from
all that kind of thing*? I hate to see
you pushing an old lawn-mower up and
i down when you ought to be sitting bnck
in a rocking chair on the porch telling
me about town."
"Hut. do you think," Mr. Williams
pursued, "that we would have enough
work to keep Henry's hoy busy all the
time? As it is. just the little bit of lawn
mowing and the odd jobs would not
imount to much. There would be no
economy in keeping a big. husky fel
low around only for that. 1 thoughi
that perhaps if we hired Joe we might
us well get that horse we have bee n
talking about for so long n time. Jr
would have plenty of time to take care
of a horse and keep one sleek and nice.
And whenever you'd want to go riding
a!l you'd have to do would be to call the
man and in a minute he would come
around with tlie rig as big as life. You
could come down to the train arid i met
"But the depot is only three blocks
away."
" That's all right. Allen's wife meets
aim with their carriage every evening
ind he lives a block nearer the station
:han we do. You've got to drive some
i where, even if it's only to show jou've
got the outfit."
j "If we bought n horse and bug \ that
, would cost $250, wouldn't it? Well, you
Know we would have to have some place
for the horse to range on. The back lot
> n't nearly big enough to let him loose
"Yes," said Mr. Williams, "I had I
thought of that. Mr. Welles will sell j
us the two lot# next to ours for $2,800 |
on time, of course. That would give us !
plenty of room for u horse to pasture |
upon aud run around on and get fat '
on. Of course we'd have to fence it in j
Clark gave me an estimate on the fence j
for our own place last week. He said ;
he'd enclose it for sll2. That would !
make the w hole thing—if we bought tlie
fots for the horse—cost something like
S.IOO.
"1 don't know," said Mrs. Williams,
dubiously. "That looks like a lot of
money."
"Yes, but you know it wouldn't be j
any use to have the horse if you didn't
have some accommodations for him. j
That reminds me. what do you suppo.se
a stable would cost?"
"Oh," cried Mrs. Williams, "would
we have to have a stable built?"
"We couldn't very well keep the horse
in a tent or excavate a subterranean
home for him. I have an idea that a
nice, comfortable barn could be put up
for $500."
"That seems to me extravagant for i
a stable."
"Not at all when you consider thst
we would l have Joe's room in it. Of
course, you'd want the man to have a
rcoui in Ihe barn, wouldn't you?
Couldn't have him coming smelling
horsey all over the house."
"Well, I suppose so, and. of course,
if lie had a room out there it would be
easy for him to milk the cow."
"Cow ?"
"We'd have a cow, wouldn't we? I've
aiways heard that one hired man on
a place can take care of two horses :
and a cow, and fihat the cow by the sale
of the milk would pay for the main
tenance of the horse. That would be
nice. Then the horse wouldn't cost |
us anything to keep." Mrs. Williams
looked happy and, indeed, jubilant at
being able to present such an alluring
argument.
"We!!, bid, tin; ' n*—you know—we 1
don't want to go into the milk-dairying ,
business," Mr. Williams objected.
"Oh, we needn't sell the milk, of I
course, if you think we shouldn't. Still, |
I'd hate to waste it. There wouldn't be !
any saving in hiring Joe if we dissi- j
pated all the profits and advantages of
the plan by wasting tlie milk."
"Oh, well, we'll face that condition !
when it rises to confront us. This cow j
proposition gives me a new idea. We !
could enrich the soil of the back lot
and raise our own vegetables. That
would give Joe a little more to do, but
would hardly fill in his time. Sixty
dollars' worth of seed would make a j
nice, respectable garden for us, and j
would keep us in vegetables all the 1
season."
"And if Joe is half as handy willi tools
as Harry is 1 believe truly that (he could
build a new sidewalk around the place.
You know the luinfberman said it would
cost about $95 for the lumber for the
present lot. It would be nice to tear |
up the old' walk and lay a wider one." !
"If we had Joe I'd have him put down j
a brick walk. It's as easy as any
thing. It would cost a little more, and j
then we'd have to about double the price j
to cover the expense of it in front of i
the two extra lots, but there's no sense !

in having a hired man unless you pro
vide him willi something to do. And
SSO a year is so beastly cheap. 1 guess I
I'll stop to-morrow* and teii Henry to j
send his son over."
"I think so, too," Mrs. Williams de
clared, enthusiastically. "But hadn't [
we better calculate these figures. Let'j \
see—sso for Jus pay."
"And board, nothing," said Mr. Wil
liams.
"Well, I don't know about that," |
Mrs. Williarasobserved dubiously. "You
j can't provide board for a hired man
without its costing something. Ilow
; ever, let's see what the things we really
( know about will come to.
When they had concluded their calcu
lations Mr. Williams was staring va

"Whew!" Mr. Williams sibilated ip
i mmzcraent. "1 didn't know it cost so
inuch to keep a hired man!"
The next day Mr. Williams, hurrying
past Mr. Welles' house, found Henry
1 eliminating plantains from the front
I lawn.
"I've considered that suggestion of
yours about Joe," said Mr. Williams,
"and—"
"Sorry, Mis'r Williams," Henry in
terrupted. "Joe got a place in the counr
fry already, an' inns' dis'pointyou."
"You don't sn t v so," cried Mr. Wil
liams, immensely relieved, for he had
been wondering how to gi! out of his
half way bargain with llenry. "I'm aw

EARNING A LIVING.
How a Cleveland Girl In Cnrvlnu Her
Way to Fortune.
I The Denver girl who so cleverly
earned money to go to Vassar by boot-
I blacking should have more followers
than she now has, though in Clevelaod
there is a young woman who is carving
her way to fortune, if not to fame, by a
boot-blacking establishment thut has
novel features.
She has rented a window In a lace
shop and here she has displayed a few

pairs of repaired shoes. On the window
is her sign, which nnominoes that boots
are blacked for five cents and shoes
renovated and mutlc to look like new for
five cents more. She also tells you that
rubbers are repaired and that buttons
can be sewed on for five cents a shoe.
The utility of such an establishment
for the woman who wants to earn a liv
ing is obvious. Fixing up one's own
shoes is never a pleasant job. and if for i
five cents you can leave them in a near
by place and get them the next day
looking "like new," why. there arc
many who would gladly ilo it.
The Cleveland girl's utensils consist
of shoe polish and brush. These arc ;
alongside her principal easy chair, i
where customers can be seated. Upon j
the table near by she has oil. several '
small irons, shoe grease, a couple of |
"trees" anil everything for the renova
tion of the shoe. You leave an old boot
there all creased, dusty and out of
shape, and when you call next day you
will find the crease ironed out. the dust
removed, the shoe straightened on a
tree and a little gxftxl shoe grease
rubbed into it.
Rubbers she repairs as she would a
biej'cle tire, and for five cents you can j
get the whole shoe fitted out with but
tons.
This is a new line of woman's work j
that needs only pluck to start it, and
