D. tfES-BIT THE wounded flagsl They bear them Aloft today In pride— The living ones, who share them Alike with those who died— The flags that faintly flutter In cadence with the drum As though the.y sought to utter Their joy that peace has come. The wounded flags! We hold them Far dearer than the rest; Close to our hearts we fold them— The flags by tatters blest; The flags with shot holes gaping, That tell their tale of strife, Today are gently draping The ones who cling to life. THE FLAG WITH SHOT HOLES GAPING. The wounded flags! How proudly They fluttered In the days When drums were thrumming loudly And fifes sang warring lays! How brave was all their glowing 4 Where fierce the war guns spoke, Their stars forever showing A beacon through the smoke! The wounded flags! We hail them And revel in each hue, Though age and time may pale them And red blend into blue. Though all grow dark and duller, Yet in every part We see the living color That thriUs the nation's heart. —Baltimore American. A.

Freeland school board settled its ac counts with Tax Collector Malloy ou Wednesday evening. The members present were Directors Brogan, Boyle, Buckley, Fetterman, Isaac, Kline, Mc- Geehan and Timony. to the amount of $12.94 were asked by the collector oo the duplicate of 1901 and were allowe.d by the board, after which the balance, $439.82, was paid to the treasurer. Ou the 1002 duplicate, which amount ed to $7,6(10.13, a total of $6,300 has been collected and paid to the school district treasurer. Tho abatements amounted to $65.92, the rebates to $184.21, the commissions to $2lB 50 and property taxes to the amount of $327.06 have been returned to the county com missioners. Tho exonerations asked for amounted to $512.42, which includes double and triple assessments, taxes against deceased persons and other er rors in assessment. All the exonera tions were granted by tho board, with the exception of the taxes against four persons whom the directors considered should be compelled to pay. Tho bal ance due from the collector, subject to further exonerations and commissions, is about SSO. During Mr. Malloy's terra of oflice he was particularly unfortunate in having to face three strikes—two of the miners and one of Drifton shop employes. Those had a telling effect on the collec tions. Notwithstanding this fact, his work of the past year was a record breaker for Freeland borough and the school directors were agreeably sur prised at the very large amount of taxes which the energetic collector has gath ered for the hoard during the year. After the meeting Mr. Malloy gave his annual ice cream treat to tho mem bers of tho school board. •'Nothing to Say." The members of tho Conciliation Board, which is to settle disputes be tween the miners and operators growing out of the interpretation of the Coal Commission's award, met on Wednesday, as announced in that issue, hut what was done or discussed has not been made public. Each of the six members seems to have taken an oath of secrecy, as the only direct Information given out was that they had met and would meet again—sometime, but when or where they did not say. There is evidently a hitch of some kind over the organization. The inti mation that the operators' representa tives would object to tho credentials of the miners' representatives seems to have some foundation. When Messrs. Nicholls. Dettrey and Fahy were asked if the operators objected to their mem bership on the board, they replied: "We have nothing to say." Messrs. Luther, Warriner and Con nell were asked the same question and they gave practically tho same answer: "Nothing to say about it." In the Social World. A farewell party was given by the friends of Misses Kate and Mary Mc- Neils, who will soon remove to Lu zerne, at their borne on Adams street last evening. The following were pres ent: May Burns, Annie McGill, Katie McGeehan, Ida Shovlin, Mamie Swee ney, Hannah and Bridget Boyle, Grace Collins, Annie Brislin, Bella Brogan, Katie Higglns, Fanny McCole, Susie Faltz, Mary Wicks, Delia O'Neil, Michael Meliugh, John Gallagher, Ed ward McHugh, Eugene Bonner, Ed ward Curran, Denis North, Daniel Shov lin, Edward McNeils, Patrick Shovlin and John Roarty. A large number of young people gathered last evening at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Stewart, Adatns street, where they spent a delightful evening celebrating the eighteenth birthday anniversary of Jonas Stewart. The birthday anniversary of Miss Fanny DeFoy was celebrated by the young lady's friends at the Hotel Os borne last evening. Tower and Bell Are Down. The fire bell and tower, located In the rear of Koons' store near the corner of Centre and Front streets, were taken down yesterday, in accordance with In structions issued by the borough council at a recent meeting. The tower was almost ready to topple over, and It was only a question of time until It would fall and probably do damage to surround ing property. The bell bad done duty for a score of years in calling the firemen and towns people together when a conflagration was discovered, but three years ago It was bowled out of business by the Game well box-system, and since then it has been a useless ornament, ready to crash to the ground any moment. Tho bell, however, is in good condi tion, and Its clear, sharp peals make it a valuable adjunct to the fire equipment of a small town. It Is the property of the Citizens' Hose Company, but tho borough owned the tower. Superintendent Resigns. Sydney Williams has tendered his resignation as general superintendent for G. B. Markle Co., of Jeddo, owing to ill health, and it took effect Wednes day evening. Mr. Williams departed yesterday for his homo in Scranton. The superintendent entered the employ of the firm last October, and succeeded W. H. Smith, Jr. The name of his suc cessor has not been announced, but it is believed that Mr. Smith will bo again summoned to assume the duties of the position. Markle & Co. recently erected a mag nificent home at Jeddo for Mr. Williams, and this, with the fact that his health was not publicly known to bo affected, has given rise to rumors that the real reason for his resignation and abrupt departure has not been disclosed.
