LUTHER C. SMITH, Superintendent. ARE THEY ABOVE LAW? Continued from First Page, bo iu the employers themselves. They must sen that these conditions cannot continue indefinitely; and with their vast property interests at the mercy of lawlessnessness. they of all men should make themselves conspicuous examples of obedience to the laws. If employes will not respect and obey the laws relating to labor, and the em ployes dare not appear as prosecutors without peril tci their employment, the next legislature should come to the relief of a very large class of the workingmon of the state, and assert the absolute majesty of the law by providing the best possible methods for its enforce ment. In this free country no man, high or low. can he above the law. NOVELTIES JUST PATENTED. Lanterns can be curried on the ends of wagon tongues, instead of on the wagon body, by means of a new holder, ■which consists of a cap to slide over the end of a pole and support a bracket for the lamp, and a wire guard to keep the horses from striking it. To safely transport animals in or dinal* railroad cars a portable stall is used, having four corner posts set in the movable floor and supporting an ad justable roof, with a feed trough hung lon the post at one emd and padded boards extending ulong the sides of the stall. A Michigan woman has patented an improvement in screen doors to keep flies out when the door opens,construct ed of flexible folding sections, which allow the guard to collapse as the door shuts, the device being attached to the top and upper portions of the door and casing. To prevent the slipping of belts on pulleys movable pie<*es are set in the wheel rim and held in place by springs, which allow the pieces to protrude be yond the surface of the rim when n cer tain speed is attained, to increa.se the circumference of the wheel and tight en the belt. Sign lettering Is made easy by a new device, which consists of n spacing dial having a series of radial points to cor irespond with the letters to be formed with a ruling arm working in conjunc tion with the dial to determine the Single and shape of the different letters composing the sign. To indicate whether letter collectors bnre visited all the boxes on their route r. new letter box is provided with a ticket punch and the carrier is fur tiished with a number of tickets pivoted together, one of which he inserts in each box to be punched by the action pt opening the door.

FREELAND, PA., DECEMBER 0.1897. Genuine Appreciation. Authors, like people in general, enjoy appreciation, and if it is expressed in directly and with unconscious sim plicity, it is so much the better. The Chicago Times-Herald tells how a west- ' em novelist treated a man who showed ! him honor in a manner quite unconven- | tional, not to say unsophisticated. Mr. I Opie Read was at the Press club when u tall, gaunt stranger from Arkansas op- j proached hint and began fishing in his —the stranger's—pockets. "Got a let- j tor of introduction to you hyarabout j some'ere," he said. "Dad the darndest j time findin' you," he continued. "Got ; into town yesterday afternoon, and last i night I started out to look you up. I thought, probably, the folks at the tele- * graph office would know you, but they ! didn't; and the hotel folks didn't know | you, nuther. Then I went to a news paper shop, and they sent me over j here." By this time the visitor had found the missing letter of introduc tion. IT was written with a lead pencil in a schoolboy's hand, and the spelling was decidedly phonetic. Opie scrutin ized the signuture closely. "John Scrug gins," he said, musingly, "John Scrug gins. I don't recall Mr. Scruggins." j "That's my boy," said the visitor, proud ly. "He's been to school in Little Rock all winter, and so when I got ready | awhile ago to come to Chicago, I told hint to write ine a letter of intr'duction j to you, and he did it. What's the mat- | ter with the letter? Aiiit it writ ail j right?" "Oh, yes; it's all right," said the novelist. And it was; for the man from Arkansas spent a pleasant after noon at the club. Perhaps the only Sunday school ever conducted by wire is that of the First , Methodist church at Wichita, Kan. The superintendent of the school, who for , more than 20 years has not missed a j single Sunday, was recently injured in | a runaway accident, so that he was j confined to his bed. He had his friends secure several megaphones (instru- 1 ments for magnifying sound) and at tached tliem to telephones in the church auditorium, lie then had his own telephone extendedito his bed, and was thus enabled to conduct the serv ices as well as if he were with the school, the children being nble to hear his voice, thanks to the megaphones, | innd he hearing just as easily every- j thing that was said in the church. This j unique method of holding the Sunday school was continued until the superin- | lenedent was able to attend in person. \\ hat should be a wholesome lesson ! to those women who are afflicted with \ the disgusting habit of kissing their ! pet dogs is reported from France. A young woman living in Paris, whose custom it was to show her affection ! for her pet terrier in this manner, re cently died from hydrophobia, after suffering the most terrible agony. Be- | fore she died she said that the dog had j never bittern her, but told the special- j nst who attended her of her oscillatory practice with the beast. The doctor said that the slightest touch of the tongue of a mad dog to the mucous membrane is sufficient to cause hydro phobia, and that there was no doubt "that this was the manner in which the unfortunate woman liad acquired the disease. It is reported that a 16-year-old boy, while digging on Beaver island, in the south part of Clinton, Ia„ struck a metallic substance with his shovel, , which, when unearthed, proved to be an ! iron box. When opened the finder was , nearly overpowered with the great ! amount of wealth he saw, for there lay ' gold and paper money amounting to j $50,000, It is not known when or by whom the money was buried, or if it ] was the proceeds of an express robbery I or belonged to a Swedish nobleman who • lived a number of years on Beaver i island, dying there two or three years ago. No relic-hunter will ever enrich bis collection with the revolver which ended Hie life of Scnor Canovas. The Span iards do not believe in preserving such grim mementos. The weapon, after | the execution of its owner, was put into a vat of concentrated sulphuric acid, where it was utterly consumed. We j fear that it would have been otherwise in this country, where "yellow" jour nalism flourishes. It is reported that the number of young fishes transferred last year from the hatcheries to the waters of Wiscon sin was 77,000,000. • "GOOD OLD TIMES." My prandslre tells of the good old times, And stops now and then to sigh; For he says that this era of frauds and crimes Makes him yearn for the days gone by. And he makes me feel, while the teardrops steal To my eyes as I mourn my fate, That my 111-starred birth brought me onto this earth A decade or so too late. He tells of the actors who trod the stage— They didn't need scenery then—. And It does him good to recall the rage Of some eminent public men. "People didn't neglect to display respeot i Deliberate and profound, And they'd never waste In unseemly haste Their energies getting 'round." Yet the world is moving and toiling still. And loving and laughing, too; And honest purpose bends with a will To the work that It finds to do. And mighty men wield the sword and pen, j And the lightning leaps forth to bear Each truth in turn that the world may learn i Its lesson from everywhere. 1 And so. as I think, it occurs to me ! That some day my turn will come, When on bygone glories with comments I free j I'll make my posterity glum. ; I'll tell him some day when my grandslre gray 0'e r those "good old times" may moan, That these we'll find when they're left be ! hind i Are the best old times yet known. —Washington Star. j THE BUND BRIDE. | j 3 3 •; By Amy Randolph. 5j BENTLEY GRANGE was a pretty place at all times of the year, but j loveliest of all when the reapers were at J w ork in the harvest fields and the yellow ; light of the October sun turned the woodland paths to enchanted aisles. A i leng, low structure of warmly-tinted I red brick, with mollioued windows, vel - j vet-smooth sweeps of lawn and box bor ders, which s ood up like walls of solid emerald on each side of the path, it had a savor of the antique about it, which one seldom sees in an American house. And old Brande Bentley, walking up and down in the mellow sunshine, be j tween the walls of black-green box, with his eyes bent on the ground, and his hands clasped behind his back, corire | sponded well with the Grange, j Suddenly a cheerful footstep rang on j the stone terrace steps —the sound of a j clear, liute-Like whistle rose above the clack of the distant mowing machine, and Harry Wade, the old man's nephew, stood like an incarnation of youth and sunshine before him. "Uncle," he cried, merrily, "you've got the prettiest place in the world here." Mr. Bentley took out his big, old-fash ioned silver watch. 1 "Two o'clock," said he, "and the bank don't close until four. Jlutnph! It ap , pears to me, young man, that you don't 1 stick very close to business houirs!" j "Like a limpet, uncle," said Harry, 1 "and just for to-day. Will Caryl has ! come to act as substitute, for I really | wanted to see you, uncle." i "Humph 1" again commented Mr. Bentley. You're very fond of me—just | of late!" ! "I'm always fond of you. Uncle Brande," said Harry, gravely, "but I've sotnetihing to tell you." I "Some scrape you've got into," said Mr. Bentley. "Nothing of the sortt, sir!" "Want to borrow money,perhaps!" "Upon iny word, no!" "You've fallen in love with some girl, then." I "You are right this time, uncle," said I Harry, laughing and coloring; "and, of I course, I have come directly to you to tell 3*oll of my good fortune. It is lititle | Bessie Bird!" "A milliner's apprentice!" snarled the old bachelor. "If she chooses to help her mother j along by trimming hats in her aunt's millinery rooms, I see nothing deroga i tory in that,"said Harry, valiantly. I "A meTe child of 17!" ! "But I don't, want an old lady of 47!" ! "Humph!" growled Mr. Bentley. , "What do either of 30U know of life?" "Not much, to be sure, uncle, as 3*et," admitted the young lover, "but we think : we can easily learn—together." 1 'And where do you thluk the napkins and tablecloths and bread and butter and rent, and water taxes are to come from?" sardonically inquired Brande ! Bentley." "I have my salary, Uncle Brande," said Harry, "and Bessie has been edu i eated to be very economical." "I'll have nothing to say to such non sense," said Mr. Bentlej'. "But, Uncle Brande, all we want is—" "Nothing, 1 saj* —absolutely noth ing!" thundered the old- man. "It's folly—trash—sentimental tomfoolery! It you want my opinion, there it is! Time enough for you to think of mat rimony when you are 30. There ought to be a law to prevent }*oung people making fools of themselves." ! And Brande Bentley turned on his heel and strode back into the house. So that Uarr3 f had no verj* inspirifting news for Bessie Bird when he met her, as usual, on the corner of Broadway, to walk home with her through the pleas ant autumn twilight. "Was he very cross?" said Bessie, who was a white-kitteny sort of a girl, with , fluff 3* yellow hair, dimples in her cheeks, and eyes the exact color of tire "flowing blue" china on our grandmothers' shelves. "As savage us Bluebeard!" "Did he scold dreadfully ?" asked Bes sie. "Told me I was n fool." j "But if he won't consent. —" "Then we must man age to get along without his consent." said Harry. "Be cause, you know. Bessie, 1 do love 3*oll so very dearly, and you like me a little, 1 don't you?" "But vour mvt her hits always counted upon your being- bis heir," said Bessie. "And to lose all that money, just—" "Just for love and you," archly inter rupted Harry. "Darling, there is noth ing in oil the world half so sweet to me, or that I court half so ardently as my little Bessie —so let there be no further argument about it. These jolly old coves down at the bank are going to raise my salary SSO at Christmas, and so if you can get your frock made, we'll be married then. And set Uncle liran.de and the world at defiance, eh?" The first November snowstorm was drifting its white flashes through t'he air when o visitor was shown into Brande Bentley's snug parlor. "Eh," said he, "a stranger, Jones? I never see strangers." "But you will see me!" said a soft voice—and a slender, golden-haired girl stood before him, neatly yet plainly dressed, her black cloak powdered over with snow, and a spectacled old ladj* by her side. "I am Bessie Bird—anil this is my aunt, Missßelton, the milliner." Miss Belton courtesied. Mr. Bentley 6tared. "I suppose you have come here to speak to me about my nephew," said he. "Yes, sir," said Bessie. "It will be of no use," said he. curtly. "My opinions on the subject of his mar riage remain unchanged." ' But mine do not," said Bessie. "Please to hcnr me through, Mr. Bent ley. I have written him n letter to give him up this morning. And I came to toll of it now, so that you will feel kindly towards him once more. I have told him we never could be married." "You're a sensible girl," said Mr. Bentley, smiting his hand on the table. "And I have sen.t him back the little garnet engagement ring that he gave me." added Bessie, with a sob in her throat. "Better and better!" said Uncle Brande, exultantly. "Not," bravely added Bessie, "be cause I don't love him as dearly and truly as I ever did. But because T see now how wrong it would be for mc to fetter his whole life. For —" She slopped an instant and a slight shudder ran through her frame. "I may as well tell you all, Mr. Bentley; T am fe-oing blind!" "Blind!" echoed the old man. "Blind," repeated Bessie, gently, but firmly. "I have had such strange blurs and darknesses coine across ray vision of late, and went to a doctor. And the doctor told me, as kindly as he could, that these are but the precursors of total blindness. So, of course, all is at an end between Harry and me.- Will you please tell him this? T have re ferred him to you for nil particulars." "I will," said the old man. huskily. ITarry Wade came to his uncle that very morning in great perturbation. "What does this mean, sir?" said he. "Have you been endeaioring to per suade her to throw me over?" "No. boy—no," said the old man, and he told him nil. "I nm bound to say that the girl has behaved very well," said he. "Shall you give her up?" "No! Never!" shouted Harry, with pale face .and tightly clenched hands. "Never! If she was dear to me before, she shall be doubly treasured and sacred now—my little smitten lamb— my drooping, white lily bud! I will "YOU'RE A TRUMP. HARRY WADE." never give her up while we both live!" The old man's eyes glittered, a faint color had risen into his withered cheeks, as he rose and grasped both his nephew's hands as in a vise. "You're a trump, Harry Wade!" said he. "I respect you more at this minute than ever I did before, (live lier up, in deed! If you gave up that little jewel of a girl you would give up the beacon star of your existence. She is a pearl of price, llarry—a true and noble wom an, who wouldn't have hesitated to sacrifice herself for your benefit. Marry her to-morrow if you will and bring her right here to Bentley Grange. It shall he lier home and yours hencefor ward." And in this strange and sudden way, old Brande Bentley relented and took his niece-in-law-elect into his heart. Bessie in nil the flush of her rosebud beauty could never have melted his heart, but Bessie stricken down by God became sacred and precious in bis sight. They were married and came to the Grange, and the prettiest of all sights Is the blind bride walking up and down the long, stone-paved terrace upon her husband's arm, with Uncle Brande for e\er hovering beside her. "I never had a daughter," said Uncle Brande, "but if I hail I think 1 should have felt toward her as I feel toward my blind darling Bessie."—N. Y. Ledger. (ilvfii 111 111 Some.

Russia is said to own 30,000.000 horses, or nearly one-half of the whole num ber in existence. Most of them belong to the peasants of thut vast empire. A SMOKING LAMP. There is no economy in using a cheap oil. It does not give so good a light and is very dangerous. In selecting a lamp it is well to choose one with a shallow reservoir, for if the oil is at too great a distance from the burner it tends to make the flame drop lower as the oil diminishes. Reservoirs of metal and stout glass are advised. Wicks are important. They must fit in the full width of the wick case and be cut off so they will not lie along the 1 bottom of the lamp, as long immersion in oil hardens them. If a lamp smells or smokes without cause it is a sure sign the wick wants changing. Those who have their surroundings spick and span and are afraid of lamps smoking the walls and ceilings should have tops to the chimneys. In putting out a light do not blow down the chim ney; turn the light down and blow across the top of the chimney. Cleaning chimneys is a vexed ques tion. If they are washed and imper fectly dried they are apt to break when the wick is lighted. New chimneys, if put in cold water and gradually boiled, are not so apt to break afterward. Burners must be kept absolutely clean and fresh and at intervals should be boiled in soda and water. A point overlooked by people who complain of lumps smoking and giv ing forth bad odors is that on no ac count must a lamp be filled and lighted after it has been laid aside unused for some time until the old oil is all emp tied out. The interior should be well scalded' and a new dry wick put in. In fact, if a lamp is in constant use it should be a rule that the reservoir is to be emptied and scalded once a month. THE HOME BEAUTIFUL. Some really original salt cellars are shell-shape and a relief from the usual pattern. A pretty idea long familiar to the French is the luxuriously embroidered chamber towel, with long grille fringes of silk and cotton. Table centers are made of colored or shot silk, with insertions of gold-run guipure, and butterflies and flowers are appliqued on the silk. Some ore entire ly of lace, with Louis Seize medallions in silk. On old oak or Chippendale tables teacloths of finest Breton lnce, with in sertion of Cluny, look the best. Some have open work ecclesiastical designs and come from Austria, France and Ire land. Silken sofa pillows in French tapes try, with a pineapple pattern wrought in gold, are popular. So are pillows of hand embroidered satins on grounds of dull blue and terra-cotta or conven tional poppies on green, with flounces of art silk. White china for ferns and flowers is ever popular, and there is a growing tendency among young housekeepers to buy the pure white china, as a table never grows tiresome if decked in spot less ware with the necessarycoloradded in centerpiece or a bit of wedgwood. Great is the variety of china and glass set forth on fashionable tables. The thick, diamond-cut crystal or molded glass can be had for the asking—tube flower vases adapted to the long stems of chrysanthemums, shell-shape bon bon dishes and china with graceful curves and designs. POINTS FOR GIRLS. Individual butter-plates continue in fashion; the reason for their existence is a good one, for who would care to put butter on a hot plate? Our English cousins eagerly buy them when they are in this country, counting them as a wise invention. The Four Marys were maids of honor to Mary, Queen of Scots; they were Mary Beaton, Mary Seaton, Mary Liv ingston nnd Mary Fleming. Mary Car michad's name, though mentioned in the ballad, was not one of the original four; it is said that she replaced Mary Fleming. The giving of presents to a girl nt the time of her graduation, at her be trothal and nt her marriage—indeed, at every important eveu-t in her life, is getting to be an absolute tax on all relatives and friends. However, It is not at all necessary for one to buy. for mere form's sake, gifts that one cannot afford. A good- talker is born, not made. By reading good books, by keeping one's self well informed as to the interesting events of the day, one may become a good conversationalis-t. Still, the most fascinating talkers are by no means those who know the most, but, instead, those who have the greatest amount of tact, are most sympathetic, versatile, and, most important of all, have that wonderful something that, lacking a better name, we call magnetism.—La dies' Home Journal. DON'T DO THESE. Don't steal another man's good name, j even if your own is worn out. Don't iraise your hand against your husband—broom handles are plenty. Don't pattern after the busy little bee. It's the other fellow that eats the honej\ Don't monopolize one color in your make up. A ruby nose spoils the ef fect of ruby lips. Don't bet with your wife, unles9 you are prepared to lose, whether you win or not. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Sell him for what you can get and let the other fellow look. Don't judge a man by the clothes he wears. Form yowr opinion from the wearing apparel of his wife. Don't be a clam. If you must be any thing of that kind, be a turtle. Then you will have a lit tie snap about you. DonH take a bull by the horns. Take hiin by the tail and then you can let go without getting some one to help you. A Word With You...
