FREELAND.PA., NOVEMBER 15,1901. HE WAS A TRUMP. And Wu So Acknowledged by a Man Prejudiced AgnliiNt lllui. "He l ad been hanging around my girl for :ne time,"-said a well known north c.der, "and I saw that unless something was done before long he would soon become a member of the family. 1 had frowned upon the mat ter right, from the start, as 1 didn't think he was good enough for my daughter. But from the beginning I simply constituted a hopeless minority, as my wife thought he was a perfect paragon. I thought 1 kuew better, and wbeu one Sunday 1 saw him at a game I was sure of it. "Now, I am a great lover of the American game, and Sunday is the only day that I have time to attend. I havy always been very careful to keep from my wife the fact that. I ever at tended a game of ball on Sunday, as she is a very strict church member and views with horror any one who seeks pleasure on the Sabbath. So when 1 saw the young man there at the game 1 thought 1 had found away to bring her to the other side, knowing full well that if 1 did his chances of becoming a member of the family were mighty slim. I hadn't the slight est idea that he had seen me there, and 1 thought I could startle an ad mission from him that would show hii<n up in his true colors without dan ger to myself! So when he called the other night I said suddenly: " 'Young man, where were you last Sunday V' "'Oh, I sat just two rows ahead of you,' he answered easily. "That threw all explanations back on me and left me gasping for breath. " 'Fine sermon, wasn't it?' be added a moment later, coming to my rescue like tbe trump he is. " 'Oli, you dear old fellow! Did you go to church and say nothing to me about it?' cried my wife, 'llow love j ly! What was the text?' "I was simply incapable of answer jng. and again that young trump tilled the breach. " 'Ninety and nine,' said he. "The score wasn't quite as bad as I that—a'most, though. Say, he's the finest young man that ever drew breath, and lie can have anything that belongs to me!"— Detroit Free Press. BETWEEN THE ACTS. Nordlca has written a book.

RELIEF SOCIETIES ORGANIZING Government Excludes Private Persons and Societies From Assisting In Re lief Measures —Red Cross Will Open Free Eating Houses. St. Petersburg, Nov. 11. —The minis try of agriculture published its annual autumnal crop report for European Russia. The minister has 7,600 cor respondents west of the Ourals. All crops were below the average, it is stated, and in some parts of the east and south they were bad, in places very bad. The staple grain, rye, was particularly deficient. Potatoes were nearer the average, but suffered with other breadstuffs. The unfavorable season was-aided by field mice, which swarmed in Perm, and by other pests. The deficient harvests of 1900 caused a shrinkage of 1,600,000 roubles in the income from the payment of peasants for their lands, and the minister of finance is resolved to materially di minish the estimated receipts from this source in the next budget. The government appears fully con scious of the added responsibility that it has assumed by virtually excluding private persons and associations from participation in relief measures. Judg ing from official publications and such scattered notices as individual papers publish from time to time every ef fort is being made to discover and miti gate suffering. It is stated that the governor of SaratofT has organized in the district of Khavlinsk a special re lief commission composed of the Zems ky-Nachanlik—the government agent— the president of the executive council of the Zemstvo and the Red Cross dele gates. The Red Cross will open free eating houses and direct the medical relief. The greatest difficulty is anticipated from the Tartars and the Finnish tribe known as the Mordva. The Tar tars rent their lands to Russians and are destitute. The cases of scurvy and typhoid are increasing. Grain is being distributed at the rate of two poods (about 72 pounds) of rye per month per adult. A thousand free meal tick ets are issued daily. The distress has been increased by a fire which de stroyed 1,300 huts. UNCLE SAM'S COAL BILL It Presents An Illustration of the Growth of the Navy.

The sen tence was 20 lashes, which was the lightest that could be given under the statute which provides for the punish ment of horse thieves.

Some of the very lurgest have their principal exposure in such a direction that they are not needed, the sun not shining on these window* dur ing the hours the offices are occupied. And then, of course, there are great buildings that do not require awnings on some sides, but need them on others or in courts, and so on. "Here, for instance, is a building with about 1,000 windows, of which 000 or thereabout are supplied with awnings. "Another building I have in mind lias about 1,000 windows. I don't know how many awnings they have there, but If It is supplied In the same propor tion as the other that would give it about 1,000 awnings. I dare say that, In fact, you would find in the city sin gle buildings with more than a thou sand awnings.
