Mr.. Steele Alackayc IS mistaken when ho says
that. "Wtn at Last is d better play than
"Hazel Kirke.''. 1t Is not Il good play. There
are no staying qualities In 1t. The conspicuous
want of hun1or IN it would not alone suffice to
drag It down, though In this respect it differs
notably from 'sIlazet Kirke"; but for this
among the rest it Is dlsappotntsn.s. There is

WALL OF A CHAP WHO RAN FOR oFFIol
AND GOT LEFT.

WALL OF CHAP WHO RAN FOR OFFICE
AND GOT LEFT.
A chap in a neighboriug town who ran
for Office and didn't get it, tells his story
to a newpaper reporter, as follows.
"Well, said he, "the elections over
and the other fellows been taken while
I've been left OF course l don't care
certainly not; still it's enough to make a
man shed hogsheads of briny tears to
think Of the fearful number of liars there
are in this place, l once read story of
a book agent who went around to see the
individual members of school board in
regard to the possibility OF getting the
books which he represented introduced
into the schools. Each one professCd the
utmost partiality to the book under con-
sideration, plsdging his personal favor,
but adding, OF course / can't tell what
the board will do. The agent rested
easy, but what was his amazement to dis
cover when the official meeting adjourn
ed that his books had been rejected by
the board He gazed at them long aud
earnestly and finally said: "Gentlemen.
as individuals, you may be, and doubt
less are. gentlemen, perfect gentlemen,
but as a beard you are set of essential
ly blanked scoundrels, liars and frauds.
Now, while don't care--you will under
stand that 1 dent care yet I can sort D
sympath'Ze with that man.-1t seems to
me that have an idea of bis frame of
mind. For, don't you see, 1 didut want
to be a candidate, but every body was in
sisting upon my running. They came
by the dozen. They invaded my Office
during business hours and my house at
times when respectable people ought to
be in bed, They insisted that as patriot
l mnst consent to run. The most vital
interests, they said, hung upon my de-
cision. They pointed to my opponent us
a man in every respect disqu,lified for
the Office. They said he was ignorant,
incompetent and unpopular They de-
clared him TO be the mere tool of q ring
of scalawngs who were bent on running
the public. l was the one man upon
whom the people had settled as the man
for the hour. They begged, they i'm
plored, they insisted that must be the
savior of society. / suppose most men
have their moments of weakness. l had
mine. yielded and now am defeat
ed candidate with all that the expression
implies. l don't care at all, but feel
like saying to you that those devoted
friends of mine who so earnestly urged
my candidacy either forgot to vote or else
they voted for the ether fellow for did
MT get half the votes that were promised
me, and the ignorant and unpopular
fellow has got away with me handsomely.
1t will be dangerous for any man to sug-
gest running for Office to me again dur
ing the present century"
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1881-11-26
A TRAMP,s MAxIMs.

In the hip pocket Of an old vagrant,
pulled in by the police the other night,
was memorandum book full of his own
writing, with pencil, and some of his
philosophy is good enough to be pre-
served. His first paragraph reads
Drinking bad whisky because it is Of
fered free, is like getting in the way OF
bullets purchased by an enemy"
second reads:
Honesty is the best policy, but some
folks are satisfied with the second best
It is hard to be honest on an empty stom-
acb."
A third runs.
"a dry plank under a rain-proof shed
is hetter than feather bed in Jail. and
one isn't annoyed by the jailer bringing
in square breakfast"
A fourth says:
Pay as you go. II you haven't any
thing TO pay with. don't go. II yen are
forced to go recotd ev fy indebtedness
and let your heirs settle The bill"
The fifth explsins:
"We should have charity for I'll And
when the winter winds blow cold aud
drear, we vags should pity the fellow in
India, Rho are having red hot weather. "
A sixth is recorded.
"Politeness costs nothing. but it is not
expected that you will wake a man up at
midnight and ask permission TO 60
through his hen house. is more couI-
teous to let him enjoy his needed repose. "
The seventh and last was noted down
rs follows.
"When you pick up an apple core do
not fnd fault because it is not the apple
itself, but be satisfied with the grade Of
descent. Do not be ashamed of your oc-
cupation. We cannot all be lords, nor
can we all be vagrants. As cannot be a

Weary, Lonely, Restless, Homeless.


Weary hearts weary hearts by cares of life
oppressed,
Yc wandering in the shadows, 20 are sigh
ing for the rest;
There is darkness in the heavens, and the
earth is bleak below,
And the joys we taste to-day may to. o.morrow
turn to woe
Weary hearts God is rest.
Lonely hears lonely hearts tits but land
of grief;
Ye are pining for repose, 70 are longing for
relief;
What the world hath never given, knoel and
ask ofGod above,
And your grief shall turn to gladness IL you
lean upon His love.
Lonely hearts God is love.
Restless hearts restless hearts ye are toll
ing night and day,
And the flowers of life, all withered, leave
but thorns along your way;
Ye are waiting, ye are waiting till your toll.
ings here shall cease,
And your ever-restless throbbing is sad, sad
prayer for peace.
Restless hearts | God is pence.
Broken hearts broken hearts ye arc desc.

And low voices from the past DER your pres

In the sweetest of your pleasures there was
bitterest alloy,
And a starless night hath followed on the
sunset of you joy.
Broken hearts God lie Joy.
Homeless hearts homeless hearts through
the dreary, dreary years,
Ye are lonely, louely wanderers, and your

In bright or blighted places, wheresoever ye

THE EAurm DRYING UP.

There is abundant evidence that The
afnotnt Of water on the surface of the
earth has been steadily diminishing for
many thousands Of years. No one doubts
that there was time when the Caspian
Sen communicated with the Black Sea,
and when the Mediterranean covered the
greater part of the Desert of Sahara. In
fact, geologists tell us that at one period
the whole of the earth was covered By va
ter, and the fact that continents of dry
land now exist is proof that there is less
water on our globe now than there wos
in its infancy. This diminution of our
supply of water is going on at the pres
ent day at a rate 80 rapid as to be clear
ly appreciable. The rivers and smaller
streams of our Atlantic States are visibly
smaller than they were twenty five years
ago. Country brooks in which men now
living were accustomed to fish and bathe
in their boyhood have in many cases dis
appeared, not through any act of man,
but solay in consequence of the failure
of the springs and rains which once fed
them. The level of the great lakes is
falling year by yea-. There are many
piers on the shores of lakeside cities
which vessels once approached with ease
but which now hardly reach TO the edge
of the water. Harbors are everywhere
growing shallower. This is not due 10
the gradual deposit of earth brought
down by rivers or ofrefuse from city sew.
ers. The harbor of Toronto has grown
shallow in spite of the fact that II has
been dredged out so that the bottom rock
has been reached. and all the dredging
which can be done to the harbor of New
York will not permanently deepen it.
The growing shallowness of the Hudson is
more evident above Albany than it is in
the ii ie-water region, and, like the out.
let of Lake Champlain, which was once
navigable by Iudian canoes at all seasons,
the upper Hudson is almost bare of wa
ter in many places during the summer.
In all parts of the world there is the same
steady decrease OF water In rivers and in
lakes. aud the rain fall in Europe, where
scientific observations are made, is man.
ifestly less than it was at a period within
mans memory.
What is becoming of our water2 OBJ
viously it is not disappearing through
evaporation, 70 in that case rains would
give back whatever water the atmosphere
might absorb. We must accept the the
ory that, like the water of the moon, our
water is sinking,into the earths interior.
