II. tin r.ttcu, PuRUMHKH, Milford, Pike (bounty, Pa Elsewhere will bo found a notice of a School Directors' Convention to be held bore be ginning Decem ber 7th. The act directors' coxvextiox tnakes it the doty of each director to attend and provides that the school districts shall bear the neces sary expenses. The act is new and this will be the first convention of Its kind ever held here. The office of school director Is of much greater Importance than is too commonly attached to it, either by the official or the people. In the hands of thi directors is placed the management and care of the scuools and this in cludes the employing of prcer and capable teachers and assumes on the part of the officer an ability to judge of those qualifications and to do so without fear or favor, The educational interests of his district are in his hands and to bis manage ment of this important trust de pends in large measure the knowl edge or ignorance of the rising gen eration. Most children, especially in the rural districts, complete their education in the common schools and if parents are so careless or in different 08 to aid in electing direct ors who are also oareless or indiffer ent as to the schools how can they justify themselves to their children and the public Time wasted In gone forever and the child in future years perhaps looks back and keenly regrets bis misspent hours. If ho can fairly attribute part at least of this to his teacher how much keener must this regret be and why should not the parent and director be in cluded in his sorrowful npraidings. Directors should attend this con vention and geek to gain higher ideas of the importance of their duties to the rising generation. New Jersey seems to be taking active steps towards securing free bridges between that state and Pennsyl vania. This is in the FREE BRIDGES right direction. All toll bridges are to an extent an increased local tax on a comparatively Binall portion of the community. Take this valley for instance. There can be no com munication with maikots or stores ia a neighboring stato without the payment of a tax from which other sections of the state are free. Tuoe bridges are in the nature of a dit crimiuation against interstate trade and the tolls are a hardship bearing on a few inhabitants of the adjoin ing status. It would be only equitable to make these toll bridges across the Delaware free. Our state is building bridges across small Ktrviams ia the interior because they happen at some remote time v. hen conditions were very different from now to hive been made by legisla tive act navigable. Probably over half a million dollars will be spent in thin work which will relieve to that extent a very few counties. I'ennbV ivaiiia has live counties bur during on the Delaware, New Jersey four and New York tliree which ate diioetij affected by th'-e toll bridges end the claims of the inhabitants of t Itori Counties t be relieved of extra t.ii:-t; m hbouU be favorably reciid e l I :r im-mber from this County tsUoulA bo h.Juc.-, t- take ome I i-n -1 in V.n n.-i tt.-r. 1 11 '.laic . -,. , : ' '.:..;d.j'a. TWENTY YEARS AGO I wandered to the grnpshnp, Torn ; I ptood brm'dn the bar, And drunk a bowl of lemonade and smoked n bud rismr ; The same old keps and Jusjs were there, the ones we used to know When we were on the round np, Tom, some twenty years ago. The bnrkecp is a now one, Tom, The one who ned to sell Corrosive tanglefoot to us is roasHnjj now in well, The other has a plateebis front ; Ins hair is combed quite low, And looks just like the one wo know some twenty years ago. Old Bosk fame np and called for boose ho had the same old grin While others burned the lining from their throats with Holland gin. And women stood beside the door, their faces seamed with woe, And wept Just as thay used to weep some twenty years ago. I asked about our old time friends, those cherished sporty men ; And some were in the poorhouse, Tom, and some were in the pen ; And one, the one we liked the best, the hangman laid him low. The world is very much the Bnme, dear Tom, as twenty years ago. I asked about that stately chap, that pride marked as Its own. Ho used to say be could drink or let the stuff alone. Ha perished of the James II. Jams, out in the cold and snow Ah, few survive who used to booze some twenty years ago. New crowds line np against the bnr and call for crimson ink ; New hands are trembling as they pour the stuff they shouldn't drink ; Butstill the same old watchword rings "This round to mo, yonknow !" The same old cry of doom was heard some twenty years ago. I wandered to the churohynrd, Tom, and there I saw the graves Of those who rtsed to drown themselves in red fermented waves And there were women sleeping thero where grass and daisies grow, Who wept and died of broken heaits some twenty years ago.' And there were gravos where children slept, have slept for many a Forgotful of the woes that marked their fitful sojourn hore, (.year, And 'noath a tall white monument, in death there lioth low The man who used to sell tho boose some twenty years ago. J. 8. Holden, in St. Louis Ulobe-Democrat. It is said there is no danger of another great freshet this year Most of the water has been (squeezed out of stocks and the public can rest in confidence until they have time to soak up, Then there is no doubt a considerable number of individuals will get soaked again.- 'Twas ever thns. The monument to General Mere dith, for which an appropriation vrns made by this stato, has been localed at Pleasant Mount, Wayne county. The remains of General Meredith and his wife were removed from Belmont to that plice by a great granddaughter who also selected the site. The democrats are looking for an issue for 1904. What is the matter with Cleveland? he has been an issue with thetu and is large enough for another. Considering the lilioral methods of some Port Jervis merchants in advertising down here it seems peculiar that 60 many Milford ladies should pass that lively town and go to New York to shop. A party comprising Mesdames G. W. Wheel er, H. A. Wheeler, W, B. Ken worthey and the Misses Ann Wheeler, May and Pamela Heed and Blanche Cross went to the city for that purpose this week. Senator Grim of Bucks county haf asked Governor Pennypacker to call an extra session of the legislature to authorize tho rebuildirgof theseven bridges across the Delaware destroy ed by the Octobor flood. New Jer sey has recoom mended their rebuild ing and also that they bo made free. "When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. - Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the .remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin cliil Jrcn Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment. We v ill sen J you the penny, . e., a Sampie fixe.

AT MATAMORAS Two Girls Meet Untimely Deaths, Tho Hope on the Ferry Boat Refused tcf Work Emma Geblmrdt, aged 10 years, nnd Lizzie Schumacker, aged 19 years, both residents of Matamoras. were drowned in the river at that place between 10 and 11 o'clock Wednesday evening. Tho young ladies had been attending a recep tion nt Port Jervis and soon after 10 started for home, They signaled the boat, a 18 foot long affair, which carries passengers aoross the river just above the site of Barret bridge and manned by John Deckley and John Altman, it went across for them. The boat with tho four 00 cupants started back and when only short distance from shore Altman and Deckley attempted to turn the bow up stream to catch the current by means of a wheel on which the rope to the cable is wound. The rope being frozen tho arrangement refused to work and the rope finally slipped from the drum whicl brought the boat at a right angle with the swift water, pulled ic deep under the surface, swept the occu pants out and all four were carried down stream. An alarm was given and many quickly assembled but not in time to save the girls who, after floating a short distance, wore drowned. Deckley on me in contact with a portion of the Barret bridge, which is still fast to the cables, caught bold and was soon rescued by a boat. Altman swam ashore landing on the New York side. Miss Gobhardt was a daughter of Nicholas aud Magdnlena Gebliardt and was a sister-in-law of Martin Leicht." Miss Schumacker was a daughter of John and Mary Schumacker and was born in Matamoras. The girls wore intimate friends, both worked at the game place in Port Jervis and both were active members of the Lutheran church aud League. Dr. J, H. O'Connor was arrested and fined 1133.40 Inst week for at tempting to take tvvelve quail across the river from Camden to Philadel phia which birds ho alleged had bocu entrusted to him by a friend to carry across. He paid tho fine and has retained lawyers in both states to fight tho law. The country is stumbling along as bc-t it iniiy during Mr. Bryan's absence. The Kentucky democratic majority came very near being larger than the total vote. The world is steadily growing better. The Tammany incident proves the rule. Nebraska has not yet stopped pat ting herself on the hack for having ut last gotten again into ttie republican told. Those states which never fail to go democratic can be counted on next year to administer a stinging defeat to the republicans. It looks like very good fortune for the Hon. William Joel Stone that his election to the t'nited States senate predated the Mi.-sonii boodle investi gations. J l ST WHAT VOL' M.CU )miiil-Htlii' Momm-h Bud i.lvT Tablet When you feel bilious.
