FREELAND, PA., JUNE 1, 1809.
Protect the Honor of the (< Has-Beena."
There are so many candidates being
groomed for the Democratic nomination
of judge of the supreme court that one
is compelled to wonder how tho Republi
cans ever carried tho state —if ail the
candidates have in recent years boon
voting and working for the Democratic
ticket.
The party's nomination for this office (
is equivalent to election, and perhaps '
tills fact is responsible for the over- 1
whelming supply of high-private Demo
crats this year.
It is surprising how many old "war- i
horses," "staunch party men," "tried I
and true standard-bearers" and so forth 1
come to life when a dead-sure thing is
in sight. j
If the delegates to the state conven- |
tion will cut down the list of eligible? to 1
those who were straight party men in
1800, when party men were needed, and
will tell tho Paimer-and-Buckner Demo- ;
crats, the McKinley Democrats and the
can't - swallow-the-platform Democrats
to seek honors from those who have
been lately receiving their votes, if this
is done the Democratic nominee for
judge of the supreme court will be a
worthy representative of the half-million
voters who are Democrats in off years
and as well as in sure-winning years.
The Democratic platform is the same
today as it was in 1800. Why, then,
should tho delegates allow those "has
been" Democrats to appear inconsistent
by giving them a place on the ticket—
even though they are campaigning the '
state for the office?
Their "honor" and "dignity" revolted
in 180 G. Let the Democrats see to it
that this same "honor" and "dignity"
shall not be tarnished in 1899.
Improve the Public Park.
If it is true, and there does not seem
to bo much room for doubt, that the
borough council is prevented by the
deed from erecting a covered dancing
pavilion in tho Public park, this should
not put a stop to several of the propos
ed improvements on the grounds.
There is nothing in the deed prevent
ing tho borough from cleaning tho park,
lilllng up depressions and placing seats
under the beautiful shade trees.
The people who appreciate the park
and the purposes for which it was given
to the town earnestly hope that council
will not falter in the good work of beau
tifying these ten acres because the
pavilion cannot be erected.
There are other pleasures in life
besides dancing, and if the appurtances
necessary for tho latter pastime cannot
be placed in the park that fact should act
as an incentive to the placing there of
improvements which may be more ele
vating and profitable to the town.
The people want the park improved.
They arc willing to risk some of the
public money on the ground.
Our Town Honored.
In ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison
tho Mining and Mechanical Institute
will have as its guest at the closing
exercises tomorrow evening a man
whoso visit to our town is an honor
which tho townspeople ought to show
their appreciation of by attending the
opera house in large numbers.
The work of the Institute alone should
cause suilicient pride in our people to
crowd the building at the coming event,
but if the pupils' efforts do not possess
the required magnetism the presence of
so eminent a mail as ex-Governor Pat
tison should appeal to our citizens to
make tomorrow evening an occasion
that will reflect credit upon Frceland.
A Mean Corporation.
The Tkibunk was misinformed on Mon
day and stated that the notice ordering
the Cross Crook Coal Company's collier
ies to work on Tuesday had been coun
termanded. The collieries worked halt
a day and the employes, contrary to tho
custom of paying on the 29th, did not
receive their wages until late Tuesday
afternoon. The action of the company
is too contemptible to comment upon.
ICELAND GEYSERS.
fourUli Have Injured Them by Throwta* j
Stonea Into Their Cratera.
Barren as the place really Is, the
artist's eye would revel in the beautiful
effects on the snowy Jokulls, the twi
light softening shades of mauve, greens
and grays on The distant lava peaks,
and the luminous midnight Bky. The
intensity of the blue water of lake or
ocean Is superb, and the mighty water
falls are grand. And the geyser fields!
All the warm tints, from cream to rus
set, are found In the mineral deposit
around the basin of the Great Geyser,
Little o<*yer, Strokkr (the Churn),
and the Little Strokkr, while Blesi ('lie
Blee One) is lined with exquisite white,
like porcelain, making It a fitting ves
sel for the cooking of food, and for fur
nishing boiling water for our tea and
cofTee. It was so 3mooth and beautiful
that I seemed to be mutilating some
thing rare when I chipped ofT pieces of
Its lining, but I knew they would be
valuable souvenirs, and the uneasy,
bubbling water would soon amend the
deficiency.
The mud pools on this plain are the
most dangerous, for they spout hot
mud diagonally out of the earth. Com
ing upon them in one direction they are
not seen, and many a visitor has gone
home with a scalded foot. The hy
draulic display is now very fitful and
inconsiderate tourists have Injured tho
spouting fountains by loading stones
into them to see them cast out, so you
must take your tent with you, and en
camp on the plain to await the pleas
ures of their majesties. Illesl will
serve you wfill while waiting. The
Great Geyser had not spouted for a
week when we were there, and such
surliness indicated a near activity. The
water spouted unusually high when It
finally appeared, ISO feet, and showed
all the tints of the rainbow, majestic
at the same time and mysterious. It
played for fifteen minutes, and then
its beautiful cascades subsided in a
feathery mist, a refined and graceful
withdrawal.
A I'Toittlrifx Knall.
There is a small snail which is so
fond of the sea that it never comes
to land, and It builds such a capital
boat for itself and Its eggs that while
large ships are sinking and steamers
are unable to face the storm it tosses
about in perfect safety.
The little snail is of a violet color
and is therefore called lanthina. It
has a small shell and there projects
from the under part of the body a long,
tongue-like piece of flesh. This is the
raft, and It is built upon most scientific
principles, for it has compartments in
It for air. It is broad and the air com
partments are underneath, so that it
cannot capsize.
Moreover, the snail knows how to
stow away its cargo, for the oldest
eggs and those which hatch the soonest
are placed in the center and the light- 1
est and newest on the sides of the raft, j
The lanthina fills its own air com
partments by getting a globule of air
underneath its head, the body is then
curved downward beneath the raft,and,
the head being tilted on one side, the
air rushes In and fills the spaces. It
feeds on a beautiful little Jelly fish,
which has a flat, raft-like form with a
' pretty little sail upon it, and they con
' gregate in multitudes when the sea is
f calm.
I Sometimes specimens arc washed up
on the northwestern coast of France,
and when they are handled they give
out a violet dye.
A Wonderful Bird.
Many sailors believe that the frigate
' bird can start at daybreak with the
trade winds from the coast of Africa
and roost the same night upon the
, American shore. Whether this is a
fact or not has yet to be determined,
but it is certain that the bird is the
swiftest of winged creatures and is
s able to fly, under favorable conditions,
200 miles an hour.
Ntnir nnd knsln. Hitre.
A race between a stag and a locomo
t tlve on the railroad was lately wltness
i ed near Labelle, Can. The engineer
f noticed the stag on the track, about 200
feet ahead, and he blew a warning
whistle. The animal started on a run,
keeping to the track, and continued the
race for three miles, then gracefully
> bounded aside until the locomotive had
passed.
The llnsllintc Japanese.
Japan is making great headway in
, the manufacturing world. It is a
, strange fact that it Is now manufactur
ing modern war material for the use of
' j western nations. Six big guns turned
1 out at the Japanes government arsenal
■ at Osaka were supplied to the Portu

| THY BPIRIT WALKS WITH ME.
I know thy spirit walks with m.
Else why should I,
So often, often think of thee,
So tender and so true to me,
In days gore by?
When springtime gladness fills the
land,
In autumn sear,
On misty moonlit summer night.
When winter sklee with stars are
bright,
Then thou art near.
The wild bird's sweet and plaintive
note
From leafy dell,
The voice of waters soft and low,
Where pebbles stay their onward flow.
The Sabbath bell.
The glow which falls from sunset skies,
Across the sea,
The perfume borne by passing breeze,
From lightly shaken flowers, all these,
Bring thoughts of thee.
I know thy spirit walks with me,
And glad am I,
To feel that now thou knowest full
well
The love my lips refused to tell.
In days gone by.
—MARY E. ORR.
OUR DRESSMAKER.
Miss Peckltt used to come to our
house to sew. She sewed my frocks
and she sewed my pinafores, and sat
among her tapee and pins and yard
measures telling me old stories that
no one else cared about, for Miss Peck
ltt had no relatives, and had always,
as she Bald, kept herself to herself.
And of all her stories the one I liked
beet was the one about the pincushion.
It was a large, heavy cushion, and I
wondered why Miss Peckltt plways
brought it with her when she came for
the day.
"It has a brick Inside to keep it
steady when I pin my work to It," she
said, "and I carry it with me because
it wa9 the last thing my young man
made for ma."
"O, did you ever have a young
man? Do tell me about him!"
At 10 years old one is not discreet.
I suppose Miss Peckltt was not in
clined to be bard on youthful indis
cretion. She threaded her needle and
began:
"It was when I was a young girl."
She could not have been more than
30 at this time, but to me she seem
ed Immeasurably old, as I said: „
"It's a long time ago, then," as sym
pathetically as I could.
"Yes," she said, "a long time. He
was the son of a tarmer. and we was
courting ever since we was quite lit
tle things and went to Sunday school.
But It was not to be."
"What happened?"
"Why, his father died, my dear, and
when it came to looking Into things
it was found he'd borrowed money on
the land, and the Interest hadn't been
paid. So, then, my Willie 6aid he'd
pay the interest and all, If they'd only
wait. But they wouldn't —and the old
place was sold up—house and buildings
and the beasts, and the land with the
standing crops. They may say it's law,
but It ain't Justice."
She bit off her thread sharply and I
said It was a shame.
"So It was—a black shame. My
Willie would a' paid them every penny
!f they'd only a' waited. But no; they
sold the old place, and It fetched more
than they looked for, and there was
near 1 ,000 over, and that they gave
to Willie, as was only fair. And after
the sale was over I saw nothing of
him for two days, and then he came
to me looking like a dog that the boys
are after with stones.
" 'l'm off,' says he; 'with this bit of
money I'll make a fortune over In
America, which is a free country, and
I'll come home for you, my girl, or I'll
write and you'll come to me.'
" 'lf it was to the world's end,' says
I.
"Then he gave me this pincushion;
It seemed a funny present, being quite
plain, as you see, and It had big
stitches, but sewn strong, and I al
most laughed as I took it. I was glad
after that I hadn't laughed, for Willie
he says:
" 'Blossom, my dear, do you know
what makes it so heavy?"
"So I said, no, I didn't."
" 'lt's a brick of the old south wall
at home,' Bays he, 'where the yellow
rose Is, and where the apricots fruit
so free, and It's covered with a bit of
silk gown my mother was married in
—lt's faded, but you can see the rose
sprigs on It yet. You'll keep It for my
sake?'
"Well?" I asked, for Miss Peckltt
had stopped abruptly.
"Well, that's all," she said, shortly;
"he never come back, but I know he
was true —and he would ha' come back
if he'd been living, and the Lord's will
be done," she added.
"Did you keep the piece of the old
dress?" I asked, "when It wore out
and you ripped it off? I should like to
see It."
"I never ripped It off," Bbe said; "I
covered It with a bit of damask, mean
ing to show It to him fresh and bright
when he come home; but I dare say
It's worn out now, underneath, with all
the needles and pins I've stuck in it
worn out."
Time did not stand still In our Til
lage. A bicycle factory reared Its
gaunt ugliness by the church, and the
moss-grown well was replaced by a
galvanised Iron pump. The old fam
ilies moved away, and new people
came; smarter people, In their glm
crack way, who got their dresses made
In the county town, and despised
Miss Peckltt's old-fashioned patterns.
I was finishing my education in
France and Germany. When I came
home I hardly knew it. Almost mv
flrst Tisit was paid to the little white
house with the green railings.
"It will do the poor thing gdod to
see you," said my mother. "I fear she
Is horribly poor. She gets hardly any
work now. And she won't accept any
thing she does not earn."
She did not know me at flrst, and
was dusting a chair that was already
of a spotlessness to Bhame our chairs
at home, when suddefily she recognized
me —the shock shattered for a mom'ent
the reserve years—she threw her thin
arms around my neck and kissed me—
faltered an apology for the "liberty,"
and then sat down on the doubly dust
ed chair and cried plteously.
I listened to such a tale of poverty
and self-denial as my young ears had
never heard before. Work scarce and
growing scarcer, hardly enough to live
on, and to crown all, the urgent neces
sity of saving, for hoarding every pos
sible penny.
"But why?"
"For my funeral, my dear," she said.
"I've kept myself respectable all these
years, and if the parish was to touch
me 1 should turn In my coffin —I know
I should."
"Your needle's crooked," I said,
fighting with a choking feeling In my
throat. "Let me thread you another."
"Dear miss," she said, "this is the
only needle I've got. It's not so crook
ed —and a cent's a cent —and needles
in penny packets isn't what they used
to be. No, and I won't let yoi boy
me even needles, miss. It's the princi
ple I think of; I won't be beholden."
"You've got the old pincushion there,
still," I said; "there must be lots of
needles In that; let me empty out the
sawdust and see. I'll put It all back
carefully."
I think Miss I'eckltt's will must have
been weakened by long fasting and
trouble, for she let me rip up one side
of that sacred cushion and pour out
the bran Into that little black tea tray
with the gold border. I found In that
bran sixty-seven good needles, to say
nothing of broken ones.
Then I began to put the bran back,
and as I pushed it In to make it hard
and tight I felt a hollow in the brick.
There was something in It. I pulled
it out.
"O, Miss Peckitt," I cried; "look
what I have found in your pincush
ion!"
A little canvas bag—and in It several
Mils and a little letter.
"My Dear Blossom; This Is $250 of
my money, so as you will have some
thing If I am not lucky with the rest.
You will find this when you rip off the
cover. If all goes well, as please God,
it will, It will pay for things for our
home. Your true friend and affection
ate lover.
"WILLIAM BEALE,"
"Pay for things for the house? It
will pay for my funeral."
Miss Peckitt was on my mind. 1
had seen that the money and the words
from the dead had brought her more
pain than joy—and after dinner that
evening I slipped on a dark cloak and
ran down the quiet street to a little
white house. I opened the door softly
and peeped In.
There was a fire in the grate, and
before it in the armchair with the
patchwork cushion sat a middle-aged
man. Miss Peckitt sat on his knee
and her arm was around his neck. In
her cheeks was the "fresh color" I had
never seen there, and In her eyes the
light of youth and hope.
"It's my Willie," she cried; "he's
come back! O, miss, dear, to think of
It—he was coming home to me, with
his fortune made and the ship was
wrecked, and him and the others has
the reserve of years, she threw her thin
only fetched away by a ship the oth
er day."
I am sure they were both persons of
sentiment, because they bought back
the old farm, with Its south wall where
the apricots "fruited so free," and
when they went to church Miss Peckitt
wore a gown of faded silk with a rosy
sprig. The cousin In Maidstone hnd
been faithful to his trust, and there
was enough of the silk that the bride
groom's mother had worn at her mar
riage to clothe the little bride on her
wedding day.
Never Caught Napping.
There are several species of fish, rep
tiles and insects which never sleep
during their stay in the world. Among
fish It is now positively known that
pike, salmon and goldfish never sleep
at all. Also that there are several
others of the fish family that never
sleep more than a few minutes a
month. There ars dozens of species of
flies which never Indulge in slumber,
and from three to five species of ser
pents which the naturalists have never
yet been able to catch napping.
Warnhlps In Wax.
By the admiralty's orders perfect
models are made In paraffin wax of
every new English battleship before It
is laid down, and these models are
tested In a tank at Haslar. The mod
els are from 12 feet to 24 feet long, and
the tank Is 400 feet long and 20 feet
wide. The models are made of wax
because it is a material which does not
absorb water or change its weight, so
alterations can be easily made. Also
the material can be melted up and used
again.
The Caefal Ant.
It is generally known that any small
dead mammal or bird, when left near
an ant hill, will ultimately be found
picked clean of flesh quickly. It has
been lately demonstrated that they
can be made useful In the direction of
skeletonizing specimens. Prof. Ber
nard has been employing ants as his
servants. While In Florida he had a
fox squirrel thus skeletonized in a
single day. The only agents employed
, ere ants.
